said line having bores spaced at periodic distances along its length, each of said bores communicating with a channel member entrance constituted by an admission chamber for irrigation liquid from the pipe line having a reduced height regarding the internal height of the rest of the channelmember so as to provide a filter for particles of certain thickness, said channel member including a plurality of alternated internal walls promoting a plurality of impingements and changes in direction of the fluid that passes through the channel lowering its pressure before the fluid leaves the channel through an outlet bore.
2 Claims, 14 Drawing Figures PATENTED MAR] 1 I975 SHEET 3 0r 9 DRIPPING IRRIGATION TUBING BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the known dripping irrigation systems consisting of applying the irrigation fluid in a controlled manner near the plants, in order to preserve in same the moisture necessary for its growth with a minimum consumption of liquid, use has been made of tubing laid along the rows of plants and including perforations along the tubing, spaced at periodic distances, with or without drippers engaged in these perforations.
These systems have proven to be economically undesirable, specially for furrow crops in which the amount per hectare might be up to 100,000 or more in which the application ofdrippers would be arduous and costly and the lacking of application of same would promote a non-controlled irrigation and substantially without the typical characteristics of the dripping irrigation system.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a new dripping irrigation tubing including all along a main pipe line, a channel member attached thereto having a plurality of integral alternated walls constituting a liquid passage having a plurality of obstacles promoting a depressurization in the irrigating liquid when the it changes directions a great number of times before allowing exit of same through an outlet bore located at the end of the passage or in any other desired location. The pipe line communicates through a hole with the channel member, generally at the beginning of same and by means of a chamber having a reduced height as regards the height of the rest of the channel member, in such a manner that, in turn, prevents the passage of bodies of a given thickness that might occlude the passage, that is, it acts like a filter for the passage of harmful elements. The passage has a given length that is continuously repeated all along the tubing.
The number of alternate walls promoting the changes in the direction of the flow could be multiple, thereby obtaining different and better results depending on the number of the changes of direction that are imparted to the liquid in the least possible length. The walls may be comprised merely of a straight plates or else by a set of teeth tapered at its upper end and alternated to allow a change in the direction of the flow. The main pipe would be a semirigid cylindrical pipe or merely a pipe made up by a laminar strip of flexible film sealed at its side edges to a wall of which the channel member is attached all along or else the laminar film could include the pressure reduction channel stamped in a longitudinal enlargement thereof, said stamped channel member being thereafter covered by a laminar film, all along its length.
These and other objects obtained by the practice of this invention will be better understood and appreciated reading the following description that makes reference to the attached drawings of the preferred embodiments of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The tubing for dripping irrigation of the present invention is made up by a main pipe line 11, having attached all along its length a channel member 12, said channel including a plurality of walls 13, integrally attached to the bottom and each of the side walls of the channel member in an alternate manner, forming a fluid passage 14, with a plurality of obstacles, promoting the impingement of the irrigation fluid a great number of times, thereby causing a substantial reduction in its pressure; the continuous channel member 12 includes a first liquid reception chamber 15, registering with a perforation 16, of pipe 11; this reception chamber of the channel member has a reduced height as regards the normal height of the rest of the interior of the channel member, thereby acting as a filter to avoid the passage of certain particles that subsequently occlude the passage of the liquid inside channel member 12. Said liquid, once having lost a given pressure, flows out through a hole 17 of channel member 12 that is generally located at the end of the liquid passage.
In FIGS. 1 and 2, the interior of the channel member is clearly shown, and the passage of the liquid from the pipe through the passage and to the exterior thereof is indicated with arrows On the other hand, an embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 3 with a modified channel member 12, in which instead of the straight walls 13, a plurality of teeth 18 or bodies tapered upwards are included, and these could end in a point and they are attached to each of the side walls 19 of channel member 12, alternately, promoting a plurality of obstacles in the flow of the fluid passing from the inlet hole 16 to the outlet hole 17. This embodiment is advantageous when using, in the manufacture of the pressure reduction channel member 12 attached to the pipe, a pair of gears that automatically produce in semiplastic material, through a stamping operation, the aforementioned teeth 18.
In FIG. 4, an additional embodiment is shown with a modified channel member 12 in which the inlet hole 16 of pipe 11 opening to channel 12 is located in the central portion of each ofthe depressurization lengths, and same may include an arrangement of alternate multiple walls, including, for example a lengthwise central wall 20, with a plurality of cross walls 21, spaced parallel, alternating with walls 22 attached to the bottom and each of the side walls 19. In this embodiment of the invention, the outlet hole of said channel 12 is illustrated in dotted lines 23, same being near the inlet hole 16 and this embodiment substantially doubles the size of the passage.
With the above mentioned embodiment, other more desirable embodiments can be obtained that increase the number of impacts and changes in the least possible space. In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 5-10, the channel member is indicated by 12" and the interior thereof may have any of the forms described with reference to preceding FIGS. 1-4.
In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5, it can be seen that the main pipe can be constituted by a pair of strips of a flexible film 24, sealed or joined at its side edges 25. Once the liquid is introduced into the tubing, same will adopt its normal cylindrical shape. This type of flexible pipes that can be employed with the present invention allow easier winding of same for transportation or storage, as well as facilitates the attachment of the channel member 12 on same. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, channel 12 is joined at the exterior to one of the films 24 and in contrast, in FIG. 6, channel 12 is attached to the interior of one of the films 24.
In FIGS. 7 and 8 is shown an embodiment of the pipe line contituted of a single strip of film 26 sealed at its ends 27 with the channel member 12 attached either to the exterior (FIG. 7) or to the interior (FIG. 8) of the pipe. In the further embodiments shown in FIGS. 11 to 14 the pipe line is made of a strip of thin film 28 the ends 31 of which are overlapped. The channel member is indicated by 12"" and the interior thereof may have any of the forms described with reference to preceding FIGS. 1-4. However the channel member 12"" instead of being attached to the pipe line is formed integrally as an enlargement 29 of film strip 28 having a curved bottom wall and side walls of uniform height. The channel member 12" is closed by a film strip 30 firmly attached to the pipe line wall adjacent the side walls of the enlargement.
The side edges 31 of this strip of film can be joined either to one side of the channel member 12, as illustrated in FIG. 12, or to the other side as illustrated in FIG. 14, with the result that the depressurization channel member 12 will be located outside the pipe or inside the pipe, respectively.
All final embodiments are merely illustrative of the fact that any change or amendment in the form and detail must be embodied within the spirit and scope of the invention, such as the shape of the passage for reducing the fluid pressure or else the kind of fluid feeding pipe employed. 1
