| 20100212764 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ADDING FERTILIZER OR OTHER LIQUIDS TO AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM - Apparatus for adding liquid fertilizer to a water line of a sprinkler system includes a mechanical injector device powered by a paddle wheel turned by water flowing through the water line. As the paddle wheel is turned, liquid fertilizer can be advantageously mixed with the irrigation water or other fluid. The fertilizer reservoir can be positioned on the upper portion of the injector apparatus and can include an inlet connection and a button used to hydraulically prime the system. The fertilizer may be fed into the reservoir via tubing from a separately contained fertilizer source. In some embodiments, an inlet nozzle may increase the inlet velocity of the water, thereby permitting the paddle wheel to operate over a greater flow rate range. The tubing or other conduit can be connected to the fertilizer source container via a quick-connect fitting. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20110084151 | Rotary Stream Sprinkler with Adjustable Arc Orifice Plate - A sprinkler includes a riser having an inlet end and an outlet end and a nozzle rotatably supported at the outlet end of the riser. The nozzle has a plurality of circumferentially spaced, radially extending stream forming channels. A gear drive is coupled for rotating the nozzle. A stationary arc plate has an upper surface adjacent a lower surface of the nozzle and includes a first aperture that directs water into terminal ends of the stream forming channels. A manually adjustable orifice plate is mounted in overlapping relationship with the stationary orifice plate. The adjustable orifice plate has a second aperture shaped and aligned with the first aperture so that manual rotation of the adjustable orifice plate increases or decreases an arc of an arc shaped water distribution pattern. A ratchet mechanism including radially deflectable tabs releasably locks the position of the adjustable orifice plate. | 04-14-2011 |
