therefore, a creeping scaffold for supporting
the movable sprinkling pipe; that is a
scaffold which is torn down at one of its ends
and rebuilt at the of posite end so that the
5 scaffold as a whole virtually creeps along in
the direction in which the .sprinkling pipe
travels.
I do not limit myself to the precise con-
struction shown as variations may be made
10 therein without departing from the spirit
of my invention.
Having thus described my invention what
I claim as new and desire to secure by Let-
ters Patent is as follows:
15 1. In a portable irrigation system, the
combination of a rigid sprinkling pipe and
a supporting scaffold therefor, comprising a
plurality of portable stands adapted to be
arranged in a plurality of lines, each line
20 including at least three stands, and rigid
beams adapted to be detachably connected
to successive stands and provided with means
for bridging said stands to provide an un-
interrupted smooth bearing surface for the
25 pipe, whereby the latter may be rolled upon
the line of beams.
2. In a portable irrigation system, the
combination of a rigid sprinkling pipe and
a supporting scaffold therefor, comprising a
30 plurality of portable stands adapted to bearranged in a plurality of lines, each line
including at least three stands, rigid beams
adapted to be detachably connected to suc-
cessive stands and provided with means for
bridging said stands to provide an uninter- 35
rupted smooth bearing surface for the pipe,
whereby the latter may be rolled upon the
line of beams, a flexible supply hose, and a
swivel joint for connecting the hose and
sprinkling pipe. 40
3. In a portable irrigation system, the

eluding at least three stands, rigid beams
adapted to be detachably connected to suc-
cessive stands and provided with means for
bridging said stands to provide an uninter-
rupted smooth bearing surface for the pipe, 50
whereby the latter may be rolled upon the
line of beams, and means adapted to be
shifted at will along the line of beams and
adapted to maintain the sprinkling pipe in
predetermined position.
