摘要： A rotary sprinkler and sled base. The sled base has a main body with a pair of wings pivotally connected thereto at opposed sides. The wings permit compact storage when folded in and provide a wider footprint when folded out to make the sprinkler more stable. The sprinkler head has a water channel which permits the jets to be lower to the ground for increased sprinkler stability. The sprinkler has a plurality of different sized vertical jets to achieve a more uniform water distribution, the top jet spraying further from the sprinkler, the bottom jet spraying the closest. The sprinkler has deflection means. The deflector may be a manually adjustable to fix the maximum spray distance or the deflector may be connected to a cam follower which follows a deformable circular "roller coaster" cam surface to alter the maximum spray distance as the sprinkler rotates. The deflector assembly may also include means for reducing water flow to the all of the jets.
