摘要:
A spray apparatus comprises a housing (112) having a fluid inlet (114), a plurality of tubes (118) for dispensing fluid from the housing, and an integrating member (120) operatively coupled to at least a subset of the plurality of tubes for effecting coordinated movement of the coupled tubes in response to movement of the integrating member. An actuator (122), such as a turbine or an adjustable control ring, is employed for inducing movement of the integrating member. The dispensing tubes may be flexible so as to allow for easy adjustment of the fluid-dispensing direction or shape by the application of a lateral force at one or more locations along the length of the tubes.

U.S. Patent No. 4,487,368 describes a sprinkler having a wobbling water distributor head mounted at the end of an angularly disposed tubular water-transporting arm. The base of the distributor head is mounted loosely between spaced shoulders. The wobbling motion of the head causes the distributor arm to traverse a circular path, so that a circular area is sprinkled. The present invention provides a means for con- trollaby varing the distance between the shoulders as the distributor arm rotates, whereby the dimensions of the area sprinkled are also controllably varied.
