Swivel Inlet Hose-Drag Linear Irrigation Machine

View page
US Patent:
7419107, Sep 2, 2008
Filed:
Jul 11, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/827328
Inventors:
Dennis R. Theilen - Omaha NE, US
International Classification:
B05B 3/18
B05B 3/00
US Classification:
239741, 239723, 2395875
Abstract:
A swivel inlet hose-drag irrigation machine is disclosed which utilizes an inlet elbow mounted in a swivel bearing on the cart to attach a water supply hose to the machine. The inlet elbow is mounted to the side of the four-wheel linear cart rather than behind the cart between the tires. The inlet elbow is free to rotate in a 180 arc so that the hose can be attached from either end of the cart at the side thereof. The machine also includes a pair of vertically disposed and rotatable rollers which are mounted at the opposite ends of the cart to push the drag hose out of the way of the tires of the cart so that the tires of the cart do not roll over the drag hose thereby eliminating any manual handling of the drag hose.

Dennis Theilen - Omaha NE, US
International Classification:
B62D055/00
US Classification:
180/009210, 180/009100
Abstract:
A drive unit for a center pivot irrigation system is described which has a pair of track units mounted thereon. The drive tower includes an elongated base beam having opposite ends. A drive wheel is mounted on each end of the base beam with the drive wheels being driven in conventional fashion. An idler wheel is operatively rotatably mounted on the base beam inwardly of each end thereof adjacent the respective drive wheels. An endless track member extends around each of the drive wheels and the idler wheel associated therewith. Means is provided for vertical movement of the idler wheels as well as means for yieldably urging the idler wheels downwardly with respect to the base beam.

US Patent:
20130041537, Feb 14, 2013
Filed:
Aug 9, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/570574
Inventors:
Craig S. Malsam - Omaha NE, US
Dennis R. Theilen - Omaha NE, US
Assignee:
Valmont Industries, Inc. - Omaha NE
International Classification:
B05B 3/18
B60L 15/20
US Classification:
701 22, 701 50
Abstract:
An irrigation system is disclosed that includes a ground-based platform. In an implementation, an irrigation system includes a span of overhead irrigation equipment. The irrigation system also includes a ground-based platform for coupling with the span of overhead irrigation equipment. The ground-based platform includes a drive for moving the ground-based platform. The irrigation system also includes a linkage for coupling the span of overhead irrigation equipment with the ground-based platform. The linkage is communicatively coupled with the drive of the ground-based platform for communicating information regarding a change in at least one of a position, a direction, or a speed of the span of overhead irrigation equipment with respect to the ground-based platform. The drive of the ground-based platform is configured to use the information received from the linkage to coordinate movement of the ground-based platform with movement of the span of overhead irrigation equipment.
