Apparatus for lawn irrigation

A device for irrigating lawn and gardens utilizing a water hose connected to an above ground water supply, the device comprising:

• a first underground pop-up sprinkler having a bottom inlet with a female fitting means affixed therein whereby the bottom inlet receives water under pressure;
• at least one additional pop-up sprinkler buried below ground level at a position relative to the first pop-up sprinkler, the at least one additional pop-up sprinkler having a bottom inlet with a female fitting means affixed therein whereby the bottom inlet receives water under pressure;
• a housing buried below ground level at a position relative to the at least one additional pop-up sprinkler, wherein the housing is comprised of:
• a chamber having an opened top end and a tapered bottom with a vertical cylindrical wall there-between, the tapered bottom extending downward into a centrally located orifice;
• a protective lid having a diameter the size of the opened top end of the chamber, the lid abutting the opened top end of the chamber;
• a spring hinge configured to connect the lid to the top end of the chamber such that the lid opens upward in a direction parallel to the ground level;
• and
• an inner pipe member concentrically positioned within the chamber, the inner pipe member having an externally threaded top portion and an opened bottom end securely attached to the orifice, the opened bottom end of the inner pipe member having a female fitting means affixed therein;
• two 90 degree elbow pipe members, the first elbow pipe member being buried below ground level beneath the first pop-up sprinkler, the second elbow pipe member being buried below ground level below the housing;
• the first and second elbow pipe members having an opened proximate end being parallel to the ground surface and an opened distal end being perpendicular to the ground surface;
• the distal end of each elbow pipe member having a male fitting means affixed thereto;
• the male fitting means of the second elbow pipe member being securely received by the female fitting means in the housing;
• the male fitting means of the first elbow pipe member being securely received by the female fitting means of the first pop-up sprinkler,
• for each additional pop-up sprinkler, an extending pipe member and a T-Connector means;
• each extending pipe member having an opened lower end and an upper end having a male fitting means affixed thereto;
• the male fitting means of each extending pipe member being securely received by the female fitting means of each additional pop-up sprinkler;
• each T-Connector means securely attached to the lower end of each extending pipe member wherein the proximate end of the first elbow pipe member is interconnected to the proximate end of the second elbow pipe member;
• and
• a means for securely attaching the threaded top portion of the inner pipe member to the water hose whereby water is transported under pressure from the above ground water supply to the first pop-up sprinkler and each additional pop-up sprinkler.
