Sprinkler assembly having coiled weight

A weighted inverted sprinkler assembly for use with an irrigation drop hose, the weighted inverted sprinkler assembly comprising:

• a coiled weight formed from a coiled wire, said coiled weight comprising individual windings;
• a sprinkler assembly coupled to the irrigation drop hose so as to allow fluid flow therethrough;
• and
• a coiled weight support structure coupled to said weighted inverted sprinkler assembly, for supporting and positioning said coiled weight on said weighted inverted sprinkler assembly, said coiled weight support structure comprising an elongated tubular core having a weight supporting shoulder extending radially outward from said elongate tubular core,
• wherein said elongated tubular core of said coiled weight support structure is positioned to be radially aligned within an entire length of the coiled weight,
• wherein the coiled weight is prevented from moving vertically downward with respect to the coiled weight support structure by having one end of the coiled weight touch the weight supporting shoulder of the coiled weight support structure to prevent the coiled weight from moving vertically downward with respect to the weight supporting shoulder, and another end of the coiled weight not touching the coiled weight support structure in a manner that restricts vertical movement, so that said coiled weight is not compressed during use of the weighted inverted sprinkler assembly,
• wherein an end of the elongated tubular core that extends beyond the coiled weight is configured to be coupled to an end of an irrigation drip hose and the coiled weight does not extend beyond the elongated tubular core.
