Abstract

The invention relates to a device consisting of a cone-shaped piece 1 arranged in the manner of a funnel and of an adjustable internal conical element 2, the two constituting a drip-type watering device. The funnel cone, which is fixed at the end of a threaded pipe 26 by a screw ring, comprises six concave discs 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and a holed end 10 in the form of a thimble, via which the water drips. The hole of the thimble is smaller on the inside to allow the stopper 16 of the internal element to close it. This element also comprises five concave discs 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and a solid frustoconical end in its lower part 16 which turns on or shuts off the water as desired by screwing up or unscrewing the tap 17. The concavity of the discs of the cone of the funnel and of the internal element makes it possible to deposit impurities in the water.

Description

The invention relates to a two-piece cone compound (I).
Fig. 2 Has a funnel and an adjustable internal element
conical (2) Fig. 2 B, both making up a sprinkler system
dropper shown in Fig. I and Fig. 3. The funnel cone is
fixing at the end of a threaded pipe (26) by a screw ring (3),
has six concave discs (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) and one
perforated end (10) in the shape of a "thimble" to be sewn through which will drip
water, the thimble hole will be smaller inside for
allow the plug (16) of the interior element Fig. 2 B of the
This element also has five concave discs (11)
(12) (13) (14) (15) and a partly frustoconical end
lower (16) which will open or close the water as desired
screwing or unscrewing the tap (17).

The concavity of the discs of the funnel cone and the ele
interior allows depositing impurities from the water.

Having noticed that water pressure plays a big role for the
clogging of sprinkler systems and,
the more water pressure, the more the device hole is
small to regulate water and therefore more clogging
sweats easily.

On the contrary according to the present invention, by cutting total
any water pressure, therefore the hole of the parts (10)
may be larger, and less frequent is blockage, and with
this system the water is more evenly distributed, and in case of ob
partial struction of the end (10) a simple turn movement
from the tap (17) will release the impurities, and for
cleaning thoroughly, by dismantling it, allows it to be cleaned
completely. The advantage of the device according to the invention is that it
is removable and applies to all kinds of watering: pots
flowers, market gardening, fruit trees and grains, and
you can adjust the flow rate at will.

The dimension of the device could be for example four
centimeters in length and two centimeters in width at the inside
the widest part of the funnel, and a centi
meter in the narrowest part, and everything must be made
in a flexible material such as plastic.

The invention also relates to an air supply system for the drip devices described above,
by which we can control the flow of water at will usable for fruit trees that we can irrigate in groups, for example from five to fifteen, for cereals planted in rows depending on the distance at which are planted rows, we can irrigate from five to fifteen rows, and for wheat, barley, oats, herbs or other varieties requiring irrigation by spreading, by changing the pipes we can irrigate by light rain
Fig. 6, and for flowerpots they can also be irrigated with the system according to the invention, FIG. 7.Such a device for watering flower pots drop by drop is very useful during absences from the apartment. It consists of a container forming a water reserve (18) comprising a drip device described in FIG. 1, 2 A, 2B and 3 and three feet to attach to the soil of the watering pot (19) (20) (21) the --- which will be provided with a disc-shaped stop (22) (23 ) (24) to allow it not to become unbalanced on the soil of the pot, the orifice of the pipe placed inside the container (25) being higher than the bottom of the container makes it possible to deposit the impurities of water on the bottom of the container.

 The capacity of the container may be different to allow watering all the flowerpots, from the smallest to the largest, and all made of plastic, but it may be provided in metal to be more ornamental in the apartments. The drip tap will be longer for flower pots.

 The hoses for watering fruit trees and cereals will be of several lengths, ranging from a minimum of twelve meters to a maximum of twenty meters. The advantage of the invention is that. there is no need for a continuous source of water since the system includes aerial tanks seen in FIG. 4. One can irrigate mountainous zones and irregular grounds, that is to say all kinds of grounds not irrigable by the systems known at present.

 In the case of limited possibility where there is no need for large extensions, a reservoir can be placed on a pile of stones receiving water from a surrounding source: we can irrigate land that will suffice for its basic needs . The tanks are preferably made of plastic and with a capacity of five hundred liters arranged every twenty meters as shown in FIG. 4 linked to each other by a pipe and comprising a float (27) disposed at the upper part of the tank FIG. 6 allowing them to be filled and allowing the air to enter once the filling has been completed. Said float is placed under a pipe (28), bent downwards, shown in FIG. 5 A and 5 B to prevent the water from evaporating under the effect of whining and thus conserve all the water that the tank contains without losing a drop.

 The tanks will be suspended at a height ranging from eight to twelve meters from the ground so as not to freeze the work on the ground with the usual working machines. The installation is fixed. The support of the tanks will be done by cables resistant enough to support the weight of the tanks filled with water, the cables will be hung on small metal towers planted on concrete bases, at a distance of one hundred meters, and in the middle, either at fifty meters, a post will be placed to support the cables. The metal towers will be 20 meters apart.

 For sprinkling in fine rain, pipes drilled twenty meters in length hanging at each end to a tank will be provided. The filling will be ensured by hydraulic pump in a closed circuit, and when there is no water on site, this filling of the tanks will be carried out from tanks.

This latter system will not allow water to be irrigated; large areas but enough for dry areas to become productive, especially for fruit trees.

 The tanks will be fitted with a system (29) to open or close the water Fig. 6. For fertilizer and weed killer, it will suffice to mix them in the water distributed.

 The number of concave discs of the funnel-shaped element and of the interior element of the drip irrigation device may well be expected to be less than or greater than the number of five or six indicated above.
