A sprinkler includes an oscillating tube that receives water from a supply, and the tube oscillates about a longitudinal axis through a range of radial angles. A plurality of nozzles spaced along the oscillating tube distribute water generally upward and outward from the oscillating tube to create a water distribution pattern on the ground. The longitudinal angles of at least some of the nozzles are automatically selectively regulated as a function of the radial angle of the oscillating tube, controlling the impact locations on the ground of the water emanating from the respective nozzles. The longitudinal angles may be automatically regulated such that the water emanating from the respective nozzles reaches parallel, rectilinear, evenly-spaced impact locations on the ground. The ranges of radial angles traversed by at least some of the nozzles may be automatically regulated such that the ends of the water distribution pattern are rectilinear. A rectangular or square water distribution pattern may be thereby automatically produced.

A flow regulator for use with a lawn sprinkler. The apparatus includes an impeller, a regulator portion and a nozzle regulator portion. The sprinkler is configured to regulate the delivery of water according to the shape of the area to be irrigated, so that water is not wasted on adjacent areas which do not require irrigation.
摘要:
A programmable sprinkler for even irrigation of a land area of regular or irregular shape having an upper portion having an upper revolvable housing being supported by a non-revolvable adjusting system attached to a non-revolvable mid section provided with a water passage and further having at least one spray nozzle tiltably supported inside the upper revolvable housing, the water jet inlet port of said nozzle being alignable to a water outlet port; an adjustable cam track attached below the spray nozzle to the non-revolvable mid section; a plurality of cam track adjustment means provided, to the cam track for changing the profile thereof; and a connecting rod disposed, inside the upper revolvable housing, and being in sliding or rolling contact at a lower extremity with the adjustable cam track and at the upper extremity being connected and revolving together with the spray nozzle.

A sprinkler apparatus comprises a sprinkler motor configured to rotate an output gear and a sprinkler tube configured to move in a repeating pattern in response to rotation of the output gear. The sprinkler apparatus further comprises a tube adapter interposed between the output gear and the sprinkler tube. The tube adapter is fixed in relation to the sprinkler tube. The tube adapter includes a first set of teeth and the output gear has a plurality of extending flexible fingers defining a second set of teeth which engage the first set of teeth. The output gear and the tube adaptor include water passages through which water advances from the sprinkler motor to the sprinkler tube. The flexible fingers on the output gear allow the second set of teeth to slide over the first set of teeth and provide a torque limiting relationship between the output gear and the tube adaptor.

A sprinkler head nozzle assembly in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes a nozzle housing with an inlet for pressurized water and an outlet downstream of the inlet, a rotatable arc of coverage adjustment ring mounted on the housing such that rotation of the arc of coverage adjustment ring extends and reduces an arcuate exit opening, a range adjustment ring, or upstream flow area adjustment ring is also provided with an upstream flow area throttling element that increases or decreases the flow area as the range adjustment ring is rotated.

An irrigation sprinkler unit includes a tubular housing enclosing a speed reducing drive which is driven by a water actuated turbine wheel and rotates a rotary nozzle head at a substantially slower speed. The drive also rotates a tubular valve member within an annular valve body within the housing, and the valve member and valve body have cooperating radial ports which automatically and continuously vary the flow rate of water through the housing for continuously varying the radial distance of a water stream discharged from the nozzle head.

A deflector cap for use in connection with a conventional pop-up or other type of rotary sprinkler head is held in a fixed angular position with respect to the sprinkler head housing by means of a downwardly extending rod that slides within a tube fixedly attached to the sprinkler head housing. An annular array of individually-adjustable, wedge-shaped, flat deflector plates is mounted to the underside of the deflector cap. Each of the deflector plates is formed to have an outer wide end and an inner narrow end. The inner end of each of the deflector plates is hingedly attached to the deflector cap at a uniform radial distance from the center of the deflector cap, thereby permitting vertical movement of the outer ends of each of the deflector plates. Vertical movement of the individual deflector plates is facilitated by a screw adjustment mechanism associated with each of the deflector plates. A thin annular sheet of mylar or other flexible material is attached to the underside of the array of deflector plates adjacent the outer ends thereof to provide a smooth water stream transition as the rotating nozzle of the sprinkler head rotationally passes beneath each of the deflector plates. As the nozzle of the sprinkler head rotates during operation, the water stream emitted therefrom will be deflected to varying distances by each of the deflector plates in turn as a function of the arcuate or rotational position of the nozzle in accordance with the vertical adjustment previously made to each of the individual deflector plates.
摘要:
An oscillatable nozzle sprinkler has a primary valve for controlling flow through a nozzle in a nozzle housing. An arc set control sets a desired angle of oscillation of the nozzle housing. An integrated system is set forth so that when a desired angle of oscillation is selected, the primary valve is positioned to provide a desired precipitation rate. A secondary valve is provided to achieve a uniform precipitation coverage.
