Abstract
A garden sprinkler is provided and consists of a hollow tubular frame in an endless closed path that has a first set of inwardly facing apertures along one portion of the frame forming a first spray tube and a second set of inwardly facing apertures along an opposite portion of the frame forming a second spray tube and a device for removably connecting a standard garden hose to the hollow tubular frame. When the hollow tubular frame is placed on a ground surface and water pressure through the garden hose is low the first spray tube and the second spray tube will spray water inside the endless closed path area. When water pressure through the garden hose is high the first spray tube and the second spray tube will overshoot the endless closed path area and spray water to other areas of the ground surface.
Claims2
A garden sprinkler which comprises
- a hollow tubular frame in the shape of a rectangular closed path having a pair of long arms and a pair of short connecting arms, said closed path having a first set of only inwardly facing apertures along one long arm of the rectangle forming a first spray tube and a second set of only inwardly facing apertures along the opposite long arm of the rectangle forming a second spray tube, wherein in the first set and second set of inwardly facing apertures are at approximately a 30 degree angle with the horizontal and offset from each other to get maximum spraying coverage available, the short connecting arms having no spray apertures;
- and
- (b) means for removably connecting a standard garden hose to a short connecting arm of said tubular frame, the opposing short connecting arm being solid and preventing any flow therethrough so that when said tubular frame is placed on a ground surface and water pressure through the garden hose is low, the spray tube will spray water inside the endless closed path area and when water pressure through the garden hose is high the spray tube will overshoot the closed path area and spray water to the outer areas of the ground surface.
