Abstract: The invention, an improved sprinkler structure equips a molded handle and sprinkler majority with internally connected waterways. A valve bar is inside the waterway with extension end extruded out of the majority and connects with a compression board through a screw. A valve opening with contracted diameter is located at the front end of waterway, thus a valve bar can block the valve opening to prevent water spraying from a water outlet. If a valve bar is compressed by a compression board to move backward, water will flow through a water outlet and enters the structure of a sprinkler. Especially, at the sprinkler majority near the side held by a user, a water outlet column connecting with internal waterway inside the sprinkler majority is equipped. A foggy water spray base, which is able to produce foggy water and control water flow is connected to the surrounding edge of the column.

Abstract: A pop-up rotor type irrigation sprinkler has a pivotable butterfly valve body located in its riser just below the nozzle. The valve body is selectively pivotable between fully open and fully closed positions by manually turning a drive member mounted in the upper end of the riser with a hand tool. The drive member is connected to the valve body with a linkage that extends within the riser outside of the water flow path to avoid adversely affecting the water stream ejected from the nozzle. The valve body has an elliptical shape and is curved in section and downwardly concave when in its closed position. Due to its curved shape, the valve body can pivot to its vertical open position in which it rests parallel with the curved cylindrical interior wall of an internal flow tube to minimize flow resistance.

A cabinet structure can enclose the basin, thereby creating a decorative enclosed basin.

Abstract: A sealed worm wheel gearbox is provided having a worm disposed on a driveshaft. The worm engages a bull gear within the gearbox. Eccentric rotatable driveshaft mounts are mounted on opposite sides of the gearbox to support the driveshaft. The driveshaft axis of rotation is offset from the eccentric rotatable driveshaft mount axis of rotation. Thus, when the eccentric shaft mounts are rotated, the driveshaft moves linearly within the gearbox. In this way, rotation of the eccentric shaft mounts enables engagement and disengagement of the worm and bull gears.

Abstract: Tap water supply systems are flushed by opening fire hydrants and running potable water through the fire hydrants for a period of time. Since potable water usually contains chlorine, it is necessary to remove the chlorine before the water enters rivers, streams and bays in order to protect aquatic life. This is accomplished by passing the water through a diffuser attached to the fire hydrant, which diffuser contains a mesh bag with a sodium sulfite tablet therein.
