Abstract
An irrigation pipe constitutes at predetermined spacings the outer sleeve of an irrigation unit, whose inner part comprises a cylinder with a peripheral helical groove. A method for producing such a pipe comprises feeding said cylinder at predetermined intervals into an extruder having an angular extrusion nozzle head and extruding said pipe around it, and after cooling said pipe sufficiently making at least one aperture therein aligned with the forward end of said groove in said cylinder.
Claims7
A continuous irrigation pipe with integrally built-in dripper units spaced at predetermined intervals having an aperture in alignment with each of said units, said dripper units having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet being in communication with the interior of the pipe and the outlet being in communication with the aperture and the exterior of the pipe.
