Self trimming pop-up sprinkler head

摘要

A self trimming pop-up sprinkler head that is able to cut/trim vegetation or herbaceous material that is negatively impacting the functionality of said sprinkler head. The self trimming pop-up sprinkler head comprises a main body, a trimming mechanism, and a piston assembly. The main body functions as the enclosure that receives pressurized fluid. The piston assembly functions as the telescoping/extendable component that is activated by the pressurized fluid. The trimming mechanism is the integrated component that is operatively coupled to the piston assembly and the main body. Through the operative coupling of said components, the trimming mechanism is able to cut/sever vegetation as well as herbaceous material through the ascending and descending actions of the pop-sprinkler. The trimming mechanism accomplishes this through the use of a pair of cleaver assemblies containing a scissionable alignment that cuts/severs vegetation or herbaceous material that intersects said alignment.

1. A self trimming pop-up sprinkler head for use in removing vegetative obstructions comprises,
a main body; a piston assembly; a trimming mechanism; the main body comprises a main fluid inlet and a main fluid chamber; the piston assembly comprises a primary piston, a nozzle assembly, and a main spring; the trimming mechanism comprises a first cleaver assembly and a second cleaver assembly; the first cleaver assembly comprises a first cleaver mount; the second cleaver assembly comprises a second cleaver mount; the main body being in fluid communication with the piston assembly; the piston assembly being extendably positioned within the main body; the main body being capped by the trimming mechanism; the trimming mechanism being traversed by the piston assembly; the main fluid inlet traversing into the main fluid chamber; the primary piston being sleeved by the main spring; and the primary piston being in fluid communication with the nozzle assembly; the second cleaver assembly comprises a piston assembly shaft; the second cleaver assembly being traversed by the piston assembly; and the first cleaver assembly being elastically retained against the second cleaver assembly; the second cleaver mount being positioned opposite the main fluid chamber; the first cleaver mount being elastically retained to the second cleaver mount; and the first cleaver mount and the second cleaver mount each comprise at least one cutting blade; and the at least one cutting blade of the first cleaver mount being scissionably aligned with the at least one cutting blade of the second cleaver mount, wherein the alignment of the cutting blade of the second cleaver mount to the cutting blade of the first cleaver mount permits an incisable engagement.
