ABSTRACT:
A rotary irrigation system comprises a continuous length of irrigation pipe having sprinkler heads spaced along the length thereof with an inboard end of the irrigation pipe connected to a fixed upstanding water supply pipe and with an outboard end of the irrigation pipe connected to power apparatus for rotating the outboard end of the pipe about the axis of the irrigation pipe. The inboard end of the irrigation pipe is connected so it cannot rotate about the axis of the irrigation pipe, but can move about the water supply pipe. The irrigation pipe is supported at uniformly spaced intervals along its length by a plurality of wheels with the wheels having hubs which receive the irrigation pipe and allow the wheels to rotate in one direction only. The power apparatus applies a torque to rotate the outboard end of the irrigation pipe in a first direction to wind up the pipe. The power apparatus then allows the irrigation pipe to unwind in the opposite direction and to rotate the wheels to advance the irrigation pipe around the water supply pipe. Apparatus is provided for insuring that the irrigation pipe unwinds by a predetermined amount each time so the wheels rotate and advance the irrigation pipe in uniform incremental distances.
