Abstract:
A handheld pop-up sprinkler riser-clamp for allowing sprinkler heads to be held in upright raised positions for maintenance work. A plastic block can have a side U-shaped cut-out with a continuous slot therebetween. A midportion of the U-shaped slot can have a widened opening that is greater in diameter than the rest of the U-shaped slot. The ends of the U-shaped cut-out can be held together with a screwable member. In operation the widened opening can be slipped over the raised head of the sprinkler head, and then the narrow portion of the clamp member is slid upon the exposed barrel neck of the sprinkler head and snapped into place so that the clamp holds and restricts the sprinkler head from moving back into its' base. The screwable fastener can adjust the width opening of the U-shaped slot as needed for different diameter necks. Maintenance workers can easily carry plural clamp members on their persons and in their pockets to easily slip on and look sprinkler heads in upright positions for maintenance service work.
