Abstract

A Strip irrigator comprising a body member fitted with an inlet for coupling to an irrigation water supply and an outlet nozzle of said body member, defining a longitudinal axis, a distribution member formed with a water engaging portion consisting of two ducts forming between them an essentially V-like shape with an intersection adjacent a lower end thereof, each duct ending at a deflection groove, and a support bracket pivotally supporting the distribution member to the body member. The arrangement being such that responsive to a water jet emitted from the outlet nozzle, the distribution member generates reactionary forces imparting it as a reciprocal rocking motion about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
