Abstract:
A liquid atomizer comprising a housing (20) fitted with an inlet (26) connectable to a liquid supply line. The housing (20) has a cavity with a longitudinal axis and being in flow communication with the inlet (26); the housing (20) comprises at least one opening (28) for emitting atomized liquid; the housing (20) further comprises at least one vortex generating member (32) formed with a vortex generating path (34, 35) in fluid flow communication with the cavity and extending opposite a respective opening (28) of the housing (20); The at least one vortex generating member (32) having an inside surface facing the cavity and an opposite, outside surface facing away from the cavity. The inside surface of the vortex member (32) is associated with the vortex generating path (34, 35) and comprises at least one outlet nozzle in fluid flow communication with the vortex generating path (34, 35) via an opening (28) extending between the inside surface and the outside surface. The vortex generating path (34, 35) is configured for generating a liquid vortex directed towards the opening (28) to be emitted from the outlet nozzle generally along the transverse direction.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a part circle mechanism assembly (100) mounted on a sprinkler. The part circle mechanism assembly comprises a base (102) with a symmetrical rotational structure. The symmetrical structure further comprises a plurality of contact faces (210). Further a lower trip is mounted on the base. The part circle mechanism assembly further comprise an upper trip mounted on the base (102). At least two sector rings are mounted on the sprinkler. At least one sector ring from the at least two sector rings is in contact with the lower trip. Further the part circle mechanism assembly (100) comprises a trip spring mounted on both trips - upper and lower. The trip spring is configured to actuate the upper trip to reverse a motion of the sprinkler. Further a cover is configured to snap fit on the base (102).
Abstract:
An irrigation device including a water inlet element defining a water inlet, a water outlet element, defining a water outlet, which is welded to the water inlet element to define an interior volume, the water outlet element defining a water pressure reducing labyrinth, and a flexible pressure responsive element, located within the interior volume and being operative to selectably allow water to pass from the water inlet to the labyrinth, the flexible pressure responsive element having at least a first closed operative state, in which water is not allowed to pass from the water inlet to the water outlet, and a second open operative state, which is a water pressure responsive variable open state in which water is allowed to pass from the water inlet via the labyrinth to the water outlet.
Abstract:
A sprinkler riser assembly including a stabilizer base and a riser mount and coupler, removably mountable onto the stabilizer base, the stabilizer base including at least one pressure mount portion and at least one stabilizer base snap engagement portion and the riser mount and coupler including a slidable portion for slidable engagement with the at least one pressure mount portion of the stabilizer base and at least one riser mount and coupler snap engagement portion for operative removable snap fit engagement with the at least one stabilizer base snap engagement portion.
Abstract:
A motion regulation mechanism for a sprinkler, the regulation mechanism comprising a base with a circumferential base pattern; a positioner arm having a positioner arm tip spaced at a gap distance from the base pattern, the base and the positioner arm tip being configured for rotary motion with respect to one another; a driven member interposed between the base and the positioner arm so that a portion thereof is dynamically received within the gap distance. The driven member has a circumferential motion pattern configured for engaging the base pattern, and a contact contour configured for traveling therealong of the positioner arm tip so that the rotary motion entails displacement of the driven member with respect to the base. The motion pattern is constituted by one or more first-type portions matching the base pattern, and one or more second-type portions not matching the base pattern; a resistance mechanism configured for creating resistance to displacement of the driven member with respect to the base.
Abstract:
A self-cleaning solar panel assembly including a solar panel assembly having a peripheral frame, at least one sprayer mount assembly removably attachable to the peripheral frame, each of the at least one sprayer mount including a first element and a second element, both separate from the peripheral frame, the first element and the second element being removably joined together for clamping onto the peripheral frame and at least one sprayer mountable onto the at least one sprayer mount assembly.
Abstract:
A sprinkler including a fixed base defining a water inlet and a nozzle, a rotating assembly arranged for rotation relative to the fixed based about a rotation axis and including a water stream director, receiving a pressurized stream of water from the nozzle and directing it in a generally radially outward direction and a rotation speed governing assembly operatively associated with the rotating assembly and operative to intermittently reduce a speed of rotation of the rotating assembly, so as to thereby increase a radial range of the stream, the rotational speed governing assembly including a rotating enclosure rotating together with the rotating assembly and enclosing a viscous material, a static element and a moving element.
Abstract:
According to the present application there is provided a sprayer comprising a housing having a fluid inlet configured for being statically coupled to a fluid source to receive fluid therefrom. The housing further comprises a fluid outlet configured for the discharging the fluid, the distance between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet being fixed; The sprayer has a bridge mounted over the housing and comprising a dispersion element configured for dispersing fluid discharged from the fluid outlet of the housing; The bridge is configured for displacement over the housing at least between a closed position in which the dispersion element comes into contact with the fluid outlet to thereby seal it, and an open position in which the dispersion element is spaced from the fluid outlet by a gap, allowing dispersion of the fluid.
