Abstract:
A new and improved liquid link system for allowing the releasable coupling of a hose to an existing sprinkler head comprising, in combination:a central body portion in a generally cone-shaped configuration having a flat upper surface and a flat lower surface and a water inlet recess extending upwardly from the lower surface to an intermediate location thereof with a small cylindrical aperture extending upwardly from the recess to the upper surface of the cone-shaped member adapted to receive therein a drive assembly post from an existing sprinkler head with an upper end having male threads;a pair of diametrically opposed blocks on the exterior surface of the body portion for rigidity purposes, each of the blocks having a generally cylindrical bore extending therethrough for coupling with the recess to exterior of the blocks;a pair of threaded cylindrical members extending radially outwardly from the blocks with apertures as extensions of the bores and with exterior male threads, one being 3/4"" in diameter and the other being 1"" in diameter;a cap removably positioned over each male thread, each cap having first female threads for removable positioning thereover and for removal to allow coupling by the inlet end of a hose, and the cap removably positionable on the top of the flat upper surface of the central body portion with second female threads for detachably coupling to the threaded drive assembly post; andan annular gasket positioned on the lower surface of the cone-shaped member around the recess for water sealment purposes when coupled to a sprinkler head.
