Abstract
Apparatus for injecting a fluid below a soil or turf surface includes a handle with a support rod attached thereto, and a plurality of nozzles carried by the support rod, each nozzle forming a stream of fluid passing therethrough. Each nozzle is provided with a skid having a curved surface for low friction contact with the soil or turf surface and for holding the nozzle out of contact with the surface. The apparatus is provided with a pump which cooperates with the nozzle to inject the fluid substantially below the soil surface.
Claims11
Apparatus for injecting a fluid below a soil surface comprising:
- an oblong hollow tube member;
- a hollow support rod extending substantially normal to said tube member;
- a plurality of nozzles carried by said support rod, each said nozzle capable of forming a stream of said fluid passing therethrough;
- said tube member communicating with said rod and said rod communicating with all of said nozzles;
- a plurality of spaced, individual skids of generally elliptical cross-section, each positioned adjacent one of said nozzles for providing a low friction contact with said soil surface and for engaging said soil surface to hold said nozzles out of contact with said soil surface, each skid having an aperture therethrough axial with the corresponding one of said nozzles;
- means for pumping fluid through said nozzle under pressure;
- and wherein
- said pumping means and said nozzles cooperate to inject said fluid substantially below said soil surface.
