Abstract: An adjustable sprinkler assembly incorporates a main housing including a cylindrical side wall having a first end portion that leads to a second end portion through an intermediate portion having a hollow interior. A riser member is shiftably mounted relative to the main housing to provide for adjustment of a sprinkler head attached thereto. An adjuster member, including an adjustment zone defined by a plurality of notches interconnected by a longitudinally extending groove, interconnects the riser member and the main housing. A stop member, mounted at the second end portion of the main housing, cooperates with the adjuster member to establish a desired positioning of a sprinkler head relative to the main housing.

Abstract: A pop-up sprinkler assembly includes a housing cover which is readily, vertically adjustable relative to a main housing within which extends a sprinkler head unit arranged in an adapter sleeve that is interengaged with the main housing to establish a blow-out feature. A readily accessible, preferably threadably mounted solenoid is used to control a main water flow valve positioned below an associated frost line. A dirt shield protects the solenoid, as well as a releasable connection between the main housing and the housing cover, from contamination. A hose adapting element is provided to be selectively secured about the sprinkler head unit atop the housing cover.

Abstract: A temporarily installable, quickly and easily removable rack provides for the carriage of long and/or large sheet materials on the outside of the sidewall of a pickup truck type vehicle or the like. The rack consists of an essentially vertical beam with a shoe which rests upon the upper flange of the vehicle cargo box sidewall. The upper end of the beam is secured by a strut or cable which extends into the cargo box and is attached to the bed of the box immediately adjacent the inner sidewall. The beam has a shoe at the lower end providing for the support of any materials carried thereupon, and provision is also made for a retaining strap for the securing of materials against the beam. Attachment points for the strut or cable may be permanently installed; a temporarily installable attachment point is also disclosed which does not require modification of the vehicle structure.
