MULTIPLE-TOWER IRRIGATION PIPELINE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A01G25/09 

FIELD: agriculture, in particular, mechanization by furrow irrigation.

SUBSTANCE: multiple-tower irrigation pipeline comprises water supply pipe connected by means of connection and attachment units through sliding member to irrigation sweeps. Each unit for connection to water supply pipe and mechanism for attachment of irrigation sweep thereon during displacement are made separate. Guiding tie-rod for holding of irrigation sweep on sliding member is positioned on irrigation sweep immediately adjacent to respective unit for connection to water supply pipe. Sliding member is made in the form of detachable ring positioned on yoke with flanges. For employment of irrigation pipe on finely contoured plots, where employment of energetic drive cart is not useful, its water supply pipe with carrier wheels and irrigation sweeps is divided into individual sections and equipped with quickly detachable connection, and is further equipped in its mid portion with rigidly fixed shaft for displacement thereof on manual variation of positions.

EFFECT: simplified construction, enhanced reliability in operation and wider operational capabilities in irrigation of finely contoured plots.
