ABSTRACT:
A watering system for use in a greenhouse has a hose carrier that is supported entirely on a single track, the track having a rectangular cross-section. The hose carrier is connected by a cable that winds through a series of pulleys to a drive system so that the carrier moves at one-half the speed of the drive system as the drive system moves along the track in either direction. The water supply and electrical supply are connected at the approximate mid-point of the track and the hose carrier distributes the hose and electrical conductor among support brackets located along the track so that neither the hose nor the conductor become tangled. The tension on the hose and conductor is minimal as each support bracket has rollers thereon and the hose and/or conductor are not used to apply force to the hose carrier to move it along the track. The support brackets on one half of the track can be much smaller than the support brackets on the other half of the track as the hose carrier travels on one-half of the track only. Previous systems have used double tracks, which are more complex and more expensive. Also, it is much more difficult to move a watering system from one track to another track when the track is double than it is when the track is single.
