the invention provides a telescoping wand assembly for use in dispensing liquid from a container , including a trigger module extending along a longitudinal axis between proximal and distal ends . the trigger module includes a tubular handle member , a user accessible trigger positioned externally of the tubular handle member that is selectively movable between first and second positions , a hose positioned within the tubular handle member and adapted to transport liquid from the container , and a valve actuating member that is selectively , movably actuable by movement of the trigger between its first and second positions . a stationary frame assembly provides rigidity and contact points for a telescopically movable tube assembly that extends from the trigger module . a shut - off valve and nozzle are positioned at the distal end of the wand assembly and movement of the shut - off valve is controlled by the trigger and translated by way of the tube assembly .
