Abstract
A irrigation device which has a sprinkler head and a wind driven device is disclosed. The device has a support frame which provides water to the sprinkler head. The support frame may include a number of pipes which supply water to the sprinkler head. The sprinkler head may have a rotating bearing and arms which are allow water to be sprayed out in various patterns. The force of the water also rotates the sprinkler head around the bearing. The support frame or sprinkler head also supports a wind driven device which may be audio, visual or both. For example, the support frame may suspend wind driven chimes.
Claims22
A combination sprinkler and wind driven ornament fixture for use with a pressurized fluid source, comprising:
- a fluid inlet connector;
- a framework;
- a pipe in fluid communication with the connector and supported by the framework;
- a fluid outlet in fluid communication with the pipe;
- a wind driven device suspended by the framework;
- and
- wherein the framework has a vertical support pipe joined to one end of an arcuate pipe, the pipe coupled to the other end of the arcuate pipe, and the water outlet is located on the arcuate pipe.
A trellis sprinkler for use with a water source, comprising:
- a pair of vertical pipe supports having a bottom end and a top end;
- an arcuate pipe member fluidly coupled to the top ends of the vertical pipe supports;
- a sprinkler head fluidly coupled to the arcuate pipe member;
- a water source connector coupled to one of the pair of vertical pipe supports;
- a cross rod connected between the vertical pipe supports;
- and
- a wind driven decorative device suspended by the cross rod.
A decorative sprinkler for use with a water hose, the sprinkler comprising:
- a vertical pipe having a bottom end and a top end;
- a hose coupler fluidly coupled to the bottom of the pipe;
- a sprinkler head member fluidly coupled to top end of the pipe, the sprinkler head includes a rotating bearing and a circular pipe having a spray outlet, wherein application of water to the pipe causes the sprinkler head to rotate;
- and
- a wind driven decorative device suspended by the sprinkler head.
A combination sprinkler and wind driven ornament fixture for use with a pressurized fluid source, comprising:
- a fluid inlet connector;
- a framework;
- a pipe in fluid communication with the connector and supported by the framework;
- a fluid outlet in fluid communication with the pipe;
- and
- a plurality of chimes suspended by a rod connected to the pipe network;
- wherein the fluid outlet is a sprinkler head including a rotating bearing and a hollow arm having one end fluidly coupled to the rotating bearing, wherein the arm is rotatable around the bearing when fluid pressure is applied to the sprinkler head.
