BREATHER CAP ASSEMBLY

摘要

A breather cap assembly is provided which is configured to be connected to a stand-tube used in a watering system. When the watering system is in normal operation, the breather cap assembly is configured to allow for air to flow between the outside the assembly and the stand-tube. The breather cap assembly also provides for structure which acts as a baffle to minimize the introduction of foreign material from outside the breather cap assembly into the stand-tube. When the watering system is in flushing operation, the breather cap assembly is configured to seal off the stand-tube in order to minimize the possibility of water leaving the stand-tube. The breather cap assembly further also provides for structure which acts as a baffle to collect and retain a majority of any water that does leave the stand-tube during a flushing operation.

主权项

1. A watering system comprising:
a hollow stand-tube having a free end, the hollow stand-tube being configured to hold water therein; and a breather cap assembly associated with the free end of the hollow-stand tube, the breather cap assembly being configured to provide a baffle which minimizes a possibility of foreign material entering the hollow stand-tube through the breather cap assembly, but which still allows for air to flow back and forth between the hollow stand-tube and the outside environment via the breather cap assembly.
