PORTABLE MISTER DEVICE ASSEMBLY KIT
A mister kit provides components to assemble as needed and where needed misters of customizable configurations capable of on-site assembly, connectable with local business and residential water sources, and with the ability to be secured to nearby structures.
SPRINKLER HEAD REPLACEMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD
A sprinkler housing assembly that defines a subterranean compartment to house the sprinkler head body, keeping it free from dirt and debris, yet safely below ground. The housing assembly has a peripherally sealed access opening through which an upper portion of the sprinkler head protrudes, thereby enabling the head to move between its inactive contracted position and its active extended position for watering the lawn. In the inactive contracted position, a user of the present invention may access the body of the sprinkler head in the enclosed compartment, to replace the entire sprinkler head, via an upper opening of the housing assembly, wherein the upper opening is adjacent or just downward to the groundlines. As a result, without digging and with only a screwdriver, the user may remove the entire sprinkler without ruining the lawn.
Irrigation system protection device and method of use
A protection device for an irrigation system having at least one water line and at least one irrigation sprinkler head, the protection device comprising a protector body having a wall defining an interior cavity, a top rim, and a bottom rim with at least two groove pairs, wherein a first groove pair has a first groove profile, and a second groove pair has a second groove profile, the second groove profile being different from the first groove profile, an adapter cap having an outer rim surface, an annular ledge extending inward from the outer rim surface, a bottom surface, and a top surface, the adapter cap detachably connected to the protector body, a collar insert having an outer edge, an inner edge defining a center aperture, and a lower surface, the collar insert detachably connected to the adapter cap, and wherein the protector body is selectively ridingly engaged between a first riding engagement with the first pair of grooves and a second riding engagement with the second pair of grooves on at least one water line.
ANTI RUN-OVER SPRINKLER DEVICE
An anti run-over (ARO) sprinkler device including a housing, piston region, body region, piston, first cap, first seal, primary spring, second cap, second seal, secondary spring and water inlet. The device operates to prevent damage to the device when unintentional force is applied thereto. The device includes a secondary spring which contracts when unintentional force is applied to the device to prevent damage to the device. The secondary spring is configured to operate in either a contracted state where coils of the secondary spring are compressed together thereby causing the piston to pull downwards into the second cavity of the housing when pressure is applied to the second cavity or in a retracted state where the coils of the secondary spring are extended away from one another thereby causing the piston to push outward from the second cavity and into the first cavity when the pressure applied to the second cavity ceases.

GARDENING DEVICES FOR THE EFFICIENT WATERING OF PLANTS
Embodiments are directed to a fluid-emission device. An example fluid-emission device includes a tubular body, a fluid-source coupler, and a tip member disposed opposite the tubular body from the fluid-source coupler. A fluid-transmission lumen in the tubular body fluidly couples the tip member to the fluid-source coupler. The tip member includes a plate having a plurality of fluid-emission lumens that fluidly couple the fluid-transmission lumen to an environment outside the tubular body. The tip member includes a spearhead disposed opposite the plate from the fluid-transmission lumen. The tip member has a spacer disposed between the plate and the spearhead to separate the spearhead from the fluid-emission lumens. The fluid-emission device can be used by inserting the tip member into material and delivering fluid to a target, such as delivering water or fertilizer to plant roots or the like.
AERIAL FLUID APPLICATION TECHNOLOGY FOR ORCHARDS, VINEYARDS AND THE LIKE
A system, device and method for delivering CO2 or other gases to plants in fields, orchards, vineyards and the like. A stake with a windbreak structure and gaseous emitters on the upwind side creates a leeward wind eddy surrounding a plant, such as an orchards sapling. This establishes and maintains a gaseous microclimate beneficial to the plant. The device delivers CO.sub.2 gas to a plant in an agricultural field, orchard, grove, orchard of the like. The device includes an elongated base adapted to be adjustably placed on the ground a predetermined distance from the plant, upwind of the plant. A wind foil is adjustably connected to the base along its elongated length. The wind foil has a curvilinear geometry with a first face having a generally convex configuration, and a second face having a generally concave configuration. An emitter assembly is disposed on the second face of the wind foil. A gas supply conduit is communicatively connected to the emitter and adapted to be connected to a gas supply. A system including multiple devices and a method of making and using the device and system are also disclosed.
Irrigation system
In accordance with one aspect, a faucet-supplied irrigation system is provided having a container, coiled tubing in the container, a plurality of pop-up sprinklers in the container, and a plurality of connectors in the container for attachment to the tubing and sprinklers. The irrigation system includes an irrigation controller in the container and a pressure regulator in the container to regulate water pressure of the supply of water to the sprinklers from the faucet. The container is configured to maintain a plurality of the coiled tubing, pop-up sprinklers, connectors, controller and regulator in a predetermined arrangement within the container.
Irrigation Sprinkler With Turf Cup
A turf cup is described that is mounted to a top of an irrigation sprinkler. The turf cup includes an outer sleeve and a plurality of drainage passages.
Sprinkler elevation device
The present invention resides in a sprinkler elevation device comprising an elongate member having a first end comprising a ground engaging portion, and a second end comprising a sprinkler attachment portion, and a hose retaining member located on the elongate member. The present invention alleviates some the problems associated with presently available sprinkler systems.
