    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relating to sprinkler head extension include a shaft extender that connects with an original shaft and a cap extender that replaces an original cap of a sprinkler head. In an illustrative example, a sprinkler head extension includes a shaft extender. The shaft extender has a coupling arrangement that connects the shaft extender with an original shaft in the sprinkler head. The sprinkler head extension also includes a cap extender that is configured to replace an original cap of the sprinkler head extension and provide a corresponding size to contain the shaft extender. By using the shaft extender and cap extender, a desired extended height of the sprinkler head may be obtained without replacing the whole sprinkler head. The sprinkler head extension may allow a user to raise the sprinkler head and avoid digging up and ruining the grass around the sprinkler head that needs to be raised.

    Abstract: A fountain system is provided. The fountain system includes a fountain nozzle that includes a body configured to telescope during extension and retraction and a nozzle outlet coupled to an end of the body. The fountain system also includes an extension system configured to actuate the extension and retraction of the body. The fountain system also includes an actuation system configured to activate discharge of a liquid, such as water, from the nozzle outlet. The extension system and the actuation system are discrete systems.

    Abstract: Apparatus for cleaning a surface with a liquid jet, the apparatus having: a primary fluid conduit having a longitudinal axis and two ends, a fluid-intake end and a fluid-exit end; a first motor-driven drive assembly configured to engage the primary fluid conduit and turn the primary fluid conduit about the primary-fluid-conduit longitudinal axis; a first motor configured to engage the first motor-driven drive assembly; a section of the primary fluid conduit being inside of an adjacent penetration sleeve; a section of the penetration sleeve being inside of a piston sleeve; the piston sleeve configured to engage the penetration sleeve and move the penetration sleeve back and forth along a penetration-sleeve linear path over a primary-fluid-conduit exterior surface; an actuator configured to engage the piston sleeve and move piston sleeve back and forth along the piston-sleeve linear path; a penetration-sleeve end being attached to an extension sleeve that has a first end and a second end; the extension-sleeve second end being attached to a swivel rod that has a first end and a second end; the primary-fluid-conduit fluid-exit end being attached to a fixed nozzle having a first end and a second end; the fixed-nozzle second end being attached to a swivel nozzle; the swivel-rod second end being attached to the swivel nozzle; the swivel nozzle configured to pivot between a fully extended position and a fully retracted position as the swivel rod respectively extends and retracts as the penetration sleeve moves back and forth; the swivel nozzle being attached to a nozzle pipe; the nozzle pipe being attached to a nozzle configuration that is configured to open and close a flapper door having a fluid exit orifice; and a continuous fluid-flow channel that extends from the primary-fluid-conduit fluid-intake end through the swivel nozzle.

    Abstract: Swivel shower including a base body, a swivel body including a shower outlet and held on the base body for swivel movement about a swivel axis between a first swivel body end position, constituting a rest position, and a second swivel body end position, constituting an operating position, a shower fluid inlet for supplying a shower fluid, and a swivel drive for driven swiveling of the swivel body, wherein the swivel drive includes a slide piston capable of being pressurized by a fluid pressure of the supplied shower fluid, which piston is arranged for translational movement between a first piston end position, corresponding with the first swivel body end position, and a second piston end position, corresponding with the second swivel body end position. Illustratively, the slide piston is arranged with a translation directional component in parallel to the swivel axis, and/or the swivel drive includes a transmission element in the form of a slotted guide mechanism between the slide piston and the swivel body, wherein the transmission element transmits the translational movement of the slide piston into a swivel movement of the swivel body, and/or the shower outlet in the rest position of the swivel body is swiveled away from a visible face of the swivel shower, and a swivel angle stroke from the first to the second swivel body end position is at most 90°.

    Abstract: An irrigation sprinkler can include an outer case having an inlet end and an outlet end. The sprinkler can include a riser positioned at least partially within the outer case and having an upstream end and a downstream end. The riser can be configured to transition between a retracted position and an extended position wherein the downstream end is positioned on a side of the outlet end of the outer case opposite the inlet end of the outer case when the riser is in the extended position. The sprinkler can include a cup assembly connected to the downstream end of the riser, the cup assembly including organic or artificial turf therein, wherein the cup assembly is configured to be removed from the riser without emptying the turf therefrom.
