Abstract:
A riser seal cartridge for an irrigation sprinkler. The cartridge is formed of a rigid self support shell, and a sealing member formed of a resilient material covering the shell in areas which provide the seal. The sealing member includes a first portion which seals the top end of the sprinkler body, a second portion which seals an outer surface of the riser, a third portion which connects the first and second portions, and a fourth portion extending from the third seal portion which provides a seal for the support shell lower end portion. The first seal portion provides a high pressure seal to prevent leakage when the riser is in a fully extended position; and the second seal portion provides a low pressure seal during pressure build-up as the riser is extending.
Abstract:
An irrigation sprinkler and sprinkler nozzle assembly including a self contained pressure regulator and flow control ring, which can be assembled with a desired spray deflector, shrub bubbler or rotating stream distributor on the top of the nozzle assembly. The pressure regulator housing is incorporated into the center of the nozzle assembly and includes a reference pressure chamber connected to atmospheric pressure with a spring bias enclosed to bias a pressure responsive movable member that is connected to an upstream pressure balanced flow throttling valve. A combination deflector pop-up pressure regulating mechanism housed in the filter of the nozzle housing assembly is also shown.
Abstract:
A flashlight in accordance with an embodiment of the present application includes an LED light source, a lens positioned opposite the LED light source, a convex mirror positioned substantially in a center of the inner surface of the lens, wherein light from the LED light source is reflected off the convex mirror back toward the LED light source and a concave mirror positioned opposite the convex mirror to reflect the light from the convex mirror as a wide diameter beam of light out of the flashlight through the lens. The convex mirror maybe replaced by a substantially flat, mirrored section of the lens if desired.
