A decorative yet useful watering device, configured to deliver water to plants for adequate irrigation below the soil is described. The device is equipped with at least one spike, configured to be placed in direct contact with the soil, and preferably partially buried. The spike is equipped with assorted holes of varying sizes which are configured to allow water to escape from a cavity disposed within an interior of the spike. A decorative element, disposed in communication with a top of a reservoir is present to disguise the device, while adding character to a garden's aesthetic. The large size of the reservoir ensures that a user need not fill the device frequently to ensure a well-watered garden or flowerbed.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to automated water sprinkler systems, and more particularly to programmable electronically controlled sprinkler systems which are controllable to affect sprinkler direction and time of watering over a defined coverage pattern. The particular improvements disclosed herein relate to location awareness of the system based on physical location of the unit relative to one or more base platforms, as well as gesture/motion control of the unit for manual operation through the use of an on-board accelerometer.

The hand washing assembly includes a hood defining a cavity within the hood, a valve structure located at least partially within the cavity, and a lever handle. The lever handle is operatively coupled to the valve structure and configured to move the valve structure between a first position in which the valve structure prevents a flow of fluid through the valve structure and a second position in which the valve structure permits the flow of fluid through the valve structure. The lever handle includes a contact surface positioned within the cavity and configured to move toward a top wall of the hood as the valve structure moves into the second position and configured to move away from the top wall as the valve structure moves into the first position.

The present invention relates to a self-alarm multi-stage complex screen filter for micro-irrigation and the assembly method thereof. The filter comprises a housing, an alarm, a multi-stage screen filtering element, and a segmented brush. The housing comprises a left housing, a middle housing, and a right housing. The multi-stage screen filtering element comprises a plurality of screen filter cylinders. The segmented brush comprises a plurality of bristle frames, a plurality of connecting rods, a connector and a power device. The middle housing is provided with a water inlet. The left housing is provided with a discharge pipe. The installation, disassembly, repair, maintenance of the filter of the present invention can be done more conveniently.

A sprinkler includes a compartment that surrounds its riser portion in an offset or asymmetrical configuration. More specifically, the distance of the compartments walls from those of the riser vary (i.e., increase or decrease) at different locations surrounding the riser. Put another way, the riser is closer to one side of the compartment than other sides of the compartment. This non-concentric configuration allows larger components to fit inside the compartment than would otherwise fit if the riser was symmetrically surrounded by the compartment.
