Abstract
An irrigation fitting comprises a first fitting branch and a second fitting branch. The first fitting branch comprises a first planar region and a second planar region. The second fitting branch comprises a third planar region and a fourth planar region. The first planar region and the third planar region jointly comprise a first curved concave edge and a second curved concave edge. The second planar region and the fourth planar region jointly comprise a third curved concave edge and a fourth curved concave edge.
Claims18
An irrigation fitting comprising:
- a first fitting branch comprising a first planar region, a second planar region, a first recessed region, a second recessed region, a first barbed member, a first branch lateral dimension and a first branch transverse dimension, the first planar region being disposed opposite the second planar region on the first fitting branch along the first branch lateral dimension, and the first recessed region being disposed opposite the second recessed region on the first fitting branch along the first branch transverse dimension;
- a second fitting branch comprising a third planar region, a fourth planar region, a third recessed region, a fourth recessed region, a second barbed member, a second branch lateral dimension and a second branch transverse dimension, the third planar region being disposed opposite the fourth planar region on the second fitting branch along the second branch lateral dimension, the third recessed region being disposed opposite the fourth recessed region on the second fitting branch along the second branch transverse dimension,
- wherein the first planar region and the third planar region jointly comprise a first curved concave edge and a second curved concave edge,
- wherein, within the first fitting branch, the first curved concave edge is disposed opposite the second curved concave edge along the first branch transverse dimension such that the first planar region becomes increasingly narrow toward a center of the fitting across the first branch transverse dimension;
- wherein, within the second fitting branch, the first curved concave edge is disposed opposite the second curved concave edge along the second branch transverse dimension such that the third planar region becomes increasingly narrow toward the center of the fitting across the second branch transverse dimension;
- wherein the second planar region and the fourth planar region jointly comprise a third curved concave edge and a fourth curved concave edge,
- wherein, within the first fitting branch, the third curved concave edge is disposed opposite the fourth curved concave edge along the first branch transverse dimension such that the second planar region becomes increasingly narrow toward the center of the fitting across the first branch transverse dimension;
- wherein, within the second fitting branch, the third curved concave edge is disposed opposite the fourth curved concave edge along the second branch transverse dimension such that the fourth planar region becomes increasingly narrow toward the center of the fitting across the second branch transverse dimension,
- wherein, within the first fitting branch, the first recessed region is disposed intermediate the first curved concave edge and the third curved concave edge along the first branch lateral dimension, and, within the second fitting branch, the third recessed region is disposed intermediate the first curved concave edge and the third curved concave edge along the second branch lateral dimension, and
- wherein, within the first fitting branch, the second recessed region is disposed intermediate the second curved concave edge and the fourth curved concave edge along the first branch lateral dimension, and, within the second fitting branch, the fourth recessed region is disposed intermediate the second curved concave edge and the fourth curved concave edge along the second branch lateral dimension.
