Adjustable sprinkler nozzle

A sprinkler nozzle for a rotary sprinkler having a rotary drive for rotating the nozzle about a rotational axis, the sprinkler nozzle throwing at least one water stream having an adjustable trajectory, which comprises:

• (a) a nozzle body having an exterior defined by a top wall and a peripheral sidewall extending downwardly from the top wall;
• (b) at least one nozzle port, wherein the nozzle port has a radial outer end and a radial inner end to throw a stream of water outwardly from the sidewall of the nozzle body to one side of the nozzle body at a given trajectory relative to a horizontal plane, wherein the nozzle port is adjustable on the nozzle body to allow the trajectory of the water stream issuing from the nozzle port to be adjusted by raising or lowering the radial outer end of the nozzle port relative to the inner end thereof without rotating the nozzle port about a longitudinal fore and aft axis;
• (c) a trajectory adjustment member movably carried on the nozzle body for selectively adjusting the trajectory of the nozzle port, wherein the trajectory adjustment member is operatively connected to the nozzle port for raising or lowering the radial outer end of the nozzle port relative to the inner end thereof when the trajectory adjustment member is selectively operated;
• and
• (d) a torgue receiving member on the nozzle body for connecting to the rotary drive to allow the nozzle body to be rotated about its rotational axis.

A sprinkler nozzle for a rotary sprinkler having a rotary drive for rotating the nozzle about a rotational axis, the sprinkler nozzle throwing at least one water stream having an adjustable trajectory, which comprises:

• (a) a nozzle body;
• (b) at least one variable trajectory nozzle carried on the nozzle body, wherein the nozzle is adjustable on the nozzle body to allow the trajectory of the water stream issuing from the nozzle to be adjusted without rotating the nozzle about a longitudinal fore and aft axis;
• (c) a manually operable, rotatable actuating member carried on the nozzle body which actuating member is configured to be selectively turned by the user by hand, a portion of the actuating member being operatively connected to the nozzle for changing the trajectory of the nozzle when the actuating member is turned by the user;
• and
• (d) a torque receiving member on the nozzle body for connecting to the rotary drive to allow the nozzle body to be rotated about its rotational axis.
