INFLATABLE SPRAYHEAD

An inflatable sprayhead includes a main body made of an elastic material. The main body includes an inflatable portion and an output portion. The inflatable portion and the output portion are coupled. The inflatable portion has a first chamber inside, and the inflatable portion is changeable between an inflated state and an uninflated state by inflating or deflating the first chamber. The output portion has a second chamber and an output surface, which communicates with the second chamber. The main body includes an isolation portion that is located between the inflatable portion and the output portion, wherein the first chamber and the second chamber are separated by the isolation portion. Thus, when the main body is in the uninflated state, a volume of the main body could be reduced. Additionally, the main body that is foldable and flexible facilitates storage.

Sprinkler with internal compartments

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.

RETRACTABLE CLEANING NOZZLE

A retractable cleaning nozzle for spray cleaning an interior surface of a pipe or a tank includes a nozzle housing configured to be stationary mounted in a hole of the side wall of the pipe or tank and having a front side arranged to face towards the interior of the pipe or tank and a rear side arranged to face away from the interior of the pipe or tank, an inlet port configured for receiving a cleaning fluid, and a cylindrical interior bore with a central axis defining an axial direction, wherein the interior bore is open towards the front side of the nozzle housing. The cleaning nozzle includes a first plug movably arranged in the axial direction within the bore of the nozzle housing between a retracted position and a protruding position, wherein the first plug has a sleeve-shaped body with a front wall closing a front portion of the sleeve-shaped body, wherein the front wall of the sleeve-shaped body includes a first set of spray holes configured to eject cleaning fluid substantially in the axial direction, wherein the sleeve-shaped body of the first plug includes a second set of spray holes configured to eject cleaning fluid substantially in a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction, wherein a front surface of the first plug is substantially flush with a front surface of the nozzle housing in the retracted position of the first plug, and wherein a front portion of the first plug, including the first and second set of spay holes, protrudes beyond the front surface of the nozzle housing in the protruding position of the first plug for enabling spray cleaning of the interior surface of the pipe or tank. The cleaning nozzle includes a second plug arranged within a space defined by the sleeve-shaped body of the first plug and configured for closing a flow path from the inlet port to the first set of holes of the first plug when the first plug is located in the retracted position.

SPRINKLER RISER EXTENSION KIT WITH INTERNAL PRESSURE REGULATOR
20230191438 · 2023-06-22 ·

A sprinkler riser extension kit for elevating a sprinkler head and maintaining a fixed constant pressure at an outlet end in an existing pop-up sprinkler is disclosed. The extension kit comprises a gripping head having a channel defined therethrough and a riser stem extension enclosing a pressure regulator assembly, the extension stem being slidable through the channel of the gripping head. The gripping head engages a cap of an existing sprinkler and the extension stem engages the sprinkler riser of the existing sprinkler. The pressure regulator assembly defines an internal hollow channel. A valve assembly is integrally connected to a spring circumvolving the channel. The spring exerts a constant downward force on the valve assembly. When under pressure, the valve assembly exerts an opposing force against the spring and the two forces cooperate to maintain a constant pressurized release of fluid at the outlet.

Turf system for sprinklers

There is provided a turf cup assembly that attaches to a buried pop-up type sprinkler to blend a top of sprinkler both cosmetically and functionally with turf surrounding the sprinkler. The turf cup assembly includes a turf cup and a sleeve. The turf cup mounts to a riser of the pop-up type sprinkler. The turf cup contains soil and root structure of turf. The sleeve surrounds the turf cup and attaches to a top of a housing of a pop-up sprinkler. The sleeve can be at or slightly below grade, and the cup extends out of the sleeve during an irrigation cycle and retracts into the sleeve at the end of the irrigation cycle.

Rotary full circle nozzles and deflectors

Irrigation nozzles are provided that irrigate a full circle coverage area with different maximum throw radiuses. The nozzle may include two bodies, one nested within the other, that acting together form the full circle coverage area. The two bodies collectively define an annular exit orifice with one of the bodies defining the inner radius and the other body defining the outer radius. A flow restrictable inlet may be used to adjust flow through the nozzle and to adjust the maximum throw radius. The nozzle may also include a flow reduction valve to reduce the throw radius from a maximum distance and may be adjusted by actuation of an outer wall of the nozzle. A deflector for use with an irrigation nozzle is also provided.
