FR2652482A1 - Watering device using injection - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a device making it possible instantaneously and by injection to water plants and shrubs at the level of the root system. It consists of a sharpened point 3 exhibiting a side orifice 4 through which the water is diffused, this sharpened point allowing it to penetrate easily into the ground, of a tube 2, and of a valve 1 used to adjust the flow rate of the water. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for watering household gardens.

Description

 The present invention relates to a device for manual watering of all plants and shrubs, by injecting water into the soil, directly at the roots.

 The traditional watering is carried out using various more or less sophisticated systems but all of them projecting the water above the ground from where the difficulty to obtain a perfect and rapid watering in depth at the level of the roots. The difficulty is all the greater on inclined terrain, such as in the mountains, for example, where water tends to run off instead of penetrating deep into the ground. Although we drown abundantly the surface of the earth, we realize, if we dig, that the roots have not been reached. If you want to water down to the roots, you will need to leave the sprinkler on for an extremely long time.

 The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. It has in fact, according to a first characteristic, a rigid copper tube, at the end of which is welded a tapered brass point allowing it to be easily inserted into the ground and to penetrate without damage into the root system of plants.

Pressurized water (urban network) regulated using a tap (quarter-turn valve) attached to the other end of the tube, circulates inside it, then from the tip, and is diffused by a lateral orifice located almost at the end of the point.

 The sprinkling of the root system is thus practically instantaneous from where an enormous saving of time, a considerable saving of water since one puts the water exactly where it is necessary, without risk of runoff, therefore a sprinkling that the we can qualify as perfect. This type of watering is particularly appreciated for watering certain plants such as pickles, for example, the leaves of which must absolutely not be wet.

 The design of the outlet orifice also makes it possible to use the device in conventional sprinkling as shown in FIG. 3.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention
- Figure 1 shows in section the tip of the device according
the invention.

 - Figure 2 shows the main use of the device.

- Figure 3 shows the use in traditional watering of
device.

 With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a quarter-turn valve 1 used to regulate the flow of water, a rigid copper tube 2, diameter 10 x 12, with a length of about 1.30 m allowing the 'user to reach the ground without having to bend down, with a tapered brass point 3 provided with an orifice 4 allowing the diffusion of water.

 By way of nonlimiting example, the device will have a length of the order of 1.30 m, the rigid copper tube an inside diameter of 10 m / m and an outside diameter of 12 m / m. The valve will be a quarter turn valve.

 The device according to the invention is particularly intended for watering allotments, vegetable or flower gardens.

Claims (4)
