Stationary drop or fin stream irrigation system for citrus orchards, fruit-trees, vegetables and fodder plants

A controlled water feed irrigation system for plants growing in a field comprising:

• at least one main liquid distribution pipe connected to a source of a pressurized liquid;
• a plurality of secondary distribution pipes oriented substantially transversely to rows formed by the plants and in fluid communication with the main liquid distribution pipe;
• a plurality of vertically oriented conduits extending from the pipes and terminating in upper ends spaced above the ground;
• means fluidly connecting each vertical conduit with a pipe;
• a substantially horizontally disposed liquid distribution tube spaced above the ground;
• means fluidly interconnecting the tube with upper ends of the conduits;
• a plurality of spaced apart liquid distribution cases mounted to the tube, the tube including a like plurality of holes, and each case including means communicating an inside of the case with an interior of the tube through a corresponding hole, the case further including a plurality of spaced apart slots communicating the inside of the case with the exterior thereof;
• and a slightly flexible, relatively small diameter tube member extending from the interior of the case through the slots and having a sufficient length to depend from the case in a generally downward direction to a point proximate the ground;
• whereby the pressurized liquid from the source can flow through the pipes, the conduit and the tube into the interior of the case and hence through the tube members extending through the slots and depending downwardly from the cases to the ground for a metered, low flow dispensing of the liquid to the plants in the field.
