Patent number: 11857899Abstract: A filtering apparatus (100) having a filtering mode and a self-cleaning mode, the apparatus provided for filtering an upstream flowing fluid with filtering elements (20) in the form of a plurality of stackable discs during filtering mode utilizing a first flow direction, apparatus (100) also configured to self-clean the filtering elements (20) the apparatus (100) including an internal fluid diverter (110,210, 310) that is internal to the filter housing. The position of the internal fluid diverter determines the direction of fluid flow through the filter housing and the filter phase. The position of the internal fluid diverter is controlled with a controller disposed external to the filter housing that may be manipulated either manually or by automated means.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Plas-Fit Ltd.Inventors: Uri Alkalay, Gilad Nahmias

Patent number: 11504725Abstract: A rotary sprinkler comprises a rotatable irrigation head with one or more nozzles, associated with liquid feed lines, which extend thereto from a sprinkler base housing, and further comprises a static biasing control base located below the irrigation head, e.g. between the sprinkler base housing and the irrigation head. The sprinkler can comprise a flow regulator arm, whose movement, at least indirectly, results in reducing the cross-sectional area of liquid flow towards at least one of the nozzles, and a flow deflector arm configured to interfere with a liquid jet discharged from at least one of the nozzles in order to affect the angle and range of the liquid jet. The static biasing control base can comprise an array of biasing elements, which can bias a cam follower configured to rotate together with the irrigation head and transfer its rotational displacement to the flow regulator arm and flow deflector arm, e.g. through respective gear elements.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2018Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: CLEVER WATER SPRINKLER TECHNOLOGIES LTD.Inventors: Uri Alkalay, Avihai Simner
