Abstract:
A self-adjusting jet breaker (200) for impact sprinklers, including a spout (T) connected to a pressurized water supply line (L) by means of a rotary coupling (R); the spout is provided with a terminal nozzle (U) for generating a jet (G) and with an oscillating arm (B) which is provided with a baffle (D); the device is arranged on the oscillating arm and includes an active surface adapted to interact with the jet between two successive oscillations of the arm. The active surface of the device has an angle of inclination tau with respect to the longitudinal axis of the arm such as to be substantially tangent to the jet when downward transit through the jet from above begins and such as to be inclined during the entire downward transit and vice versa, so as to always receive an upward thrust (F). The device optimally distributes and breaks up the jet, and increases the beat frequency in an automatic manner, i.e. adapting to both high and low jet supply pressures.

Abstract:
A rotating impact sprinkler comprises means for connecting a pressurized water column to a rotating joint which supports a rotating assembly (7) which is formed by a tubular body (8) with a nozzle (12) for generating a jet, an oscillating arm (20) and deflection means mounted at the end of the arm so as to interact with the jet. The deflection means comprise at least one main deflector (40) which oscillates elastically in a direction which is transverse to the arm between a central equilibrium position, in which the surface affected by the jet is minimal, and at least one lateral abutment position, in which the surface affected by the jet is maximal. The variation in cross section in passing from the minimal surface to the maximal one is sudden, so as to instantly increase the withdrawal of energy from the jet and generate impulsive forces on the deflector.
