Description

SPRINKLER ASSEMBLY WITH SYSTEM AND STABILIZING BASE UNIT FIELD OF INVENTION

[001] The disclosure described herein generally refers to irrigation systems, more particularly to a sprinkler assembly with a unit connected to a vertical riser pipe and / or a rotating sprinkler head for stabilization. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[002] A conventional sprinkler assembly consists of a sprinkler head, an adapter that holds the sprinkler, a flexible plastic riser / vertical riser tube, a detachable male adapter connected to the flexible plastic riser tube, and a detachable female adapter suitable for fitting the male adapter. Additionally, the female adapter fits securely onto a flexible plastic hose. The sprinkler head is positioned above ground at a specified height using the metal spike bracket. One end of the metal spike bracket connects to the sprinkler that holds the adapter, and the other end is inserted into the ground to a longer length to stabilize the assembly.Additionally, the detachable female adapter is inserted into the plastic hose, and the detachable male adapter, which connects to the flexible plastic riser tube, are connected together to form a watertight seal. A conventional system allows for the detachment and attachment of the sprinkler unit with its hose. However, the conventional system requires multiple components that are fastened or connected together to form the complete assembly.

[003] Another limitation of the conventional sprinkler system is that it attaches the sprinkler head to a metal spike via an adapter that holds the sprinkler. Since the metal spikes are inserted into the soil surface, over time, the soil surface can loosen due to the torque and vibrations generated by the rotation of the sprinkler head and soil moisture, resulting in the sprinkler tilting or falling and damaging crops. Furthermore, the metal spikes corrode over extended use due to the moisture generated during irrigation and the salinity of the soil and water.

[004] Several systems are being developed to overcome some limitations of the conventional sprinkler. In some systems, the sprinkler head is mounted on a rigid riser pipe, and the other end of the rigid riser pipe is connected to a saddle. The saddle is used for stabilization on the ground surface. The saddle connects to the hose pipe via multiple connectors. However, this sprinkler requires breaking the hose pipe into several pieces for connections. Connecting or disconnecting these hose pipe pieces to the saddle is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, this system is more expensive compared to the conventional systems described earlier because it involves additional accessories.

[005] In some other systems, the system comprises a stabilized base unit and a sprinkler head mounted on the stabilized base unit. The system focuses on providing separation between the stabilizer unit and the sprinkler head. However, such a system has a limitation, which is that only one sprinkler head unit can be attached to the stabilizer unit, and the system does not allow the installation of multiple such devices on a single hose. In other words, such systems require a special hose for each sprinkler device. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
