Abstract
A rotating sprinkler includes a housing and a movable core. The core can assume retracted and extended states relative to the housing and incudes a cover, an impact member and a stream deflector. In the extended state, both the cover and the impact member can pivot between pivoted and non-pivoted states about a hinge defining an axis H generally orthogonal to axis X and the stream deflector is fixed against rotation about the hinge.
Claims17
A rotating sprinkler (10) having a vertical sprinkler axis (X), and comprising:
- a housing (1) extending along the sprinkler axis (X);
- and
- a movable core (2) having retracted and extended states relative to the housing (1), the movable core (2) comprising:
- a core body (160) provided with a stream deflector (16) and a hinge (17), the hinge (17) having a hinge axis (H) which is orthogonal to the sprinkler axis (X);
- a cover (12), and
- an impact member (14) having a liquid path (28) therethrough;
- wherein:
- in the extended state, both the cover (12) and the impact member (14) are configured to pivot independently from one another about the hinge (17) between pivoted and non-pivoted states, while the stream deflector (16) is fixed against rotation about the hinge (17).
