Portable Lawn Sprinkler Base
 ✖  |
About nine years ago while managing a ranch here in Arizona I came up with a lawn sprinkler base that can be moved - without tipping over - by simply pulling on the hose. The base consists of three steel legs (one has a ring attached to one end). A garden hose is passed through the ring and screws into a T-fitting on the base. The sprinkler head screws into the top of the T-fitting. When you pull on the hose, the leg with the ring in it lifts up and acts like the hitch on a 2-wheel trailer. Because the other 2 legs are set at an angle, they slide off objects without hangng up. Also, the weight of the hose passing through the ring over the third leg helps give it stability when it's bumped by animals, which keeps it from tip-ping over.
The legs bolt into the base, allowing it to be easily packaged and manufactured. I'm looking for a manufacturer. (Howard H. Horinek, 860 S. Church Ave., Superior, Ariz. 85273 ph 520 689-5326)
