ABSTRACT:
An automatic liquid delivery apparatus dispenses liquid from a liquid container or other liquid supply to a receiver or zone requiring liquid in response to a detector which is located in the zone and initiates discharge of the liquid. The liquid is retained against discharge from the container or supply by air pressure in a liquid passage and is discharged upon release of the air through the detector, when liquid is needed in the receiver or zone.
The automatic liquid delivery apparatus in a liquid feeding system may be used to supply liquid to growing plants; a detector for each plant or group of plants initiates the dispensing of liquid by a delivery apparatus, each detector sensing the moisture requirements of a particular plant.
The automatic liquid delivery apparatus includes a valve device which retains liquid against discharge from a container or supply by air pressure confined in a space in a passage, and delivers liquid through the passage when the air in the space is released by a control device, which may be a detecting mechanism or other automatic operating element.
