Abstract
A sprinkler irrigation stand includes a base and a clamp. The clamp is pivotally coupled at a first end to a first lateral side of the base and has a non-deployed state and a deployed state. In the non-deployed state, the clamp is not attached at its other second end to the base and in the deployed state the clamp is attached at its other second end to a second opposing lateral side of the base. The base also includes a depression that extends along a longitudinal extension of the base that is orthogonal to its lateral extension.
Claims25
A sprinkler irrigation stand comprising:
- a base having an upper surface and a lower surface which is configured to rest on a ground surface, the upper surface having a depression that extends along a longitudinal extension of the base, the lower surface having a base width (W1) measured in a lateral extension of the base which is orthogonal to the longitudinal extension;
- and
- a clamp coupled to a first lateral side of the base at a first mating region, the clamp comprising a clamp passage configured to slidably receive a lower portion of a sprinkler;
- wherein:
- in the non-deployed state, the clamp is not attached to an opposing second lateral side of the base;
- in the deployed state, the clamp is attached to the opposing second lateral side of the base at a second mating region and the clamp passage directly overlies the depression;
- and
- the stand has a stand height (H1) measured from the lower surface of the base to a top of the clamp;
- when in the deployed state.
A sprinkler irrigation stand comprising:
- a base having an upper surface and a lower surface which is configured to rest on a ground surface, the upper surface having a depression that extends along a longitudinal extension of the base, the lower surface having a base width (W1) measured in a lateral extension of the base which is orthogonal to the longitudinal extension;
- and
- a clamp coupled to a first lateral side of the base at a first mating region, the clamp having a non-deployed state and a deployed state;
- wherein:
- in the non-deployed state, the clamp is not attached to an opposing second lateral side of the base, and
- in the deployed state, the clamp is attached to the opposing second lateral side of the base at a second mating region, the clamp overlying an entire length of the depression in a direction along the longitudinal extension of the base.
A sprinkler irrigation stand comprising:
- a base having an upper surface and a lower surface which is configured to rest on a ground surface, the upper surface having a depression that extends along a longitudinal extension of the base, the lower surface having a base width (W1) measured in a lateral extension of the base which is orthogonal to the longitudinal extension;
- a clamp coupled to the base;
- and
- at least two wheels, the at least wheels being located on opposite lateral sides of the base, the wheels configured to reduce friction between the sprinkler stand and a ground surface on which the sprinkler stand is positioned, during retrieval of an irrigation pipe supported by the sprinkler irrigation stand.
