Sprinkler saver and grass killer device

摘要

Devices, guards and shields and methods for both protecting sprinkler heads and preventing unwanted vegetation from growing adjacent to the sprinkler heads, which can be applied to most if not all sprinklers on the market. The novel devices, guards and shields can be formed from a two part (upper and bottom part sections) forming a housing with ring shape housing dry and/or liquid herbicides. The ring shape can have a large center hole for allowing the ring shape to be positioned over and about the sprinkler head. The ring shaped housing includes drainage openings through the top and bottom half sections for allowing water from the sprinkler or rain water to pass therethrough and onto a replaceable herbicide which can kill unwanted vegetation such as grass, weeds, roots, trees, from growing adjacent to the sprinkler head.

主权项

1. A sprinkler head protector and grass killer device, comprising:
a hollow double ring shaped housing having an upper section and a lower section, with a large center hole through the upper section and the lower section; the upper section having an inner ring inside of an outer ring, with an annular grooved surface between a lower end of the inner ring and a lower end of the outer ring; the lower section having an inner ring inside of an outer ring, the inner ring of the lower section having a top end for abutting against an underside portion of the inner ring of the upper section, the outer ring of the lower section having a top end for abutting against an underside portion of the outer ring of the upper section, with a floor surface between a lower end of the inner ring and a lower end of the outer ring, the inner ring of the upper section having a diameter being substantially identical to a diameter of the inner ring of the lower section, the outer ring of the upper section having a diameter being substantially identical to a diameter of the outer ring of the lower section; a hollow annular chamber formed between the upper section and the lower section with a top of the annular chamber being the annular grooved surface in the upper section, and a bottom of the annular chamber being the floor surface in the lower section; a herbicide for being placed inside of the hollow annular chamber of the housing; drainage holes in the annular grooved surface in the upper section; and drainage holes in the floor surface of the lower section, wherein the double ring shaped housing is adapted to be placed about a sprinkler head, so water passing through the drainage holes in both the annular grooved surface of the upper chamber and the drainage holes in the floor surface of the lower section causes the herbicide inside of the hollow annular chamber to leach onto ground surfaces adjacent to the sprinkler head to prevent unwanted grass from growing adjacent to the sprinkler head while the double ring shaped housing protects sides of the sprinkler head.
