Device for collecting and draining drip water from a gear sprinkler

Abstract

Device for collecting and draining drip water from a gear sprinkler, characterized in that it comprises an annular collecting device and a connecting piece for a drain hose and that the collecting channel or the collecting funnel collects the water running off the sprinkler and drains it away via the connecting piece.

Description

1. Technical area

[0001] The invention relates to a device for preventing dripping water from irrigation systems, particularly stationary gear-driven sprinklers, which, contrary to conventional applications, are not sunk into the ground but are attached to fences, walls, or riding arena barriers. More specifically, it is a device for collecting residual water that runs uncontrollably down the housing after the sprinkler is shut off, thus moistening the fence, wall, or riding arena barrier, and causing long-term damage. 2. State of the art

[0002] With standard gear-driven sprinklers, residual water regularly escapes from the housing, sprinkler head, or nozzle after the water supply is turned off. This water runs down the outside of the sprinkler housing and drips onto the fence, wall, or border, which can lead to unwanted moisture penetration. To date, no solutions are known for specifically capturing this water and discharging it in a controlled manner. 3. Object of the invention

[0003] The object of the invention is to provide a retrofittable device that collects the water running off the sprinkler and directs it through a hose. In particular, this invention is intended to enable the use of gear-driven sprinklers in water-sensitive environments, such as those mounted on the wall or on the railing of riding arenas. It also allows the use of gear-driven sprinklers mounted on wooden walls or fences. 4. Solution to the task

[0004] The task is solved by an annular collecting device (3) that is attached to the sprinkler housing (6). (e.g. The device consists of: • a surrounding water collecting channel or funnel (3), • a passage (4) in the lower part of the funnel, from which the water can flow into a drain pipe (8) • Drain pipe (8) to which a hose (5) or pipe (5) can be attached • and a hose connection for targeted drainage (4).

[0005] The device is ideally made of weather-resistant material, easy to install and fits precisely with the respective housings of the gear sprinklers, creating a watertight connection (7) to the sprinkler housing in the lower area of ​​the collecting device. 5. Example

[0006] In this example, a plastic funnel (3) is slid around the sprinkler housing (6). The funnel (7) fits tightly against the sprinkler housing, thus creating a seal. The accumulating water is collected through the funnel. A duct (4) with a hose nozzle (8) is integrated on the side, to which a drain hose (5) can be connected. This allows the water to be drained away in a targeted manner, preventing it from wetting the areas around and beneath the sprinkler.
