Abstract
A sprinkler apparatus for dosed sprinkling of a base plate of a vibration apparatus for soil compaction is provided. The sprinkler apparatus comprises a fluid tank with a fluid outlet, a valve for controlling the fluid release by the fluid outlet, and a control lever for actuating the valve. Preferably, the control lever concerns a rocking or swivel lever which is fastened to the upper region of the fluid tank. The lever allows a simple and secure dosing of the fluid release in the sprinkler apparatus.

A sprinkler apparatus for dosed sprinkling of a base plate of a vibration apparatus for soil compaction, comprising:
- a water tank with a fluid outlet;
- a valve for controlling the fluid released by the fluid outlet, the valve comprising a conical nipple arranged inside the water tank and a valve insert configured to be inserted from outside the tank and attached on a wall of the tank;
- a tensioning means arranged inside the water tank for holding the conical nipple against the valve insert under a pretension;
- a control lever for actuating the valve, the control lever being arranged outside of the water tank on an upper region of the water tank;
- and
- an actuating rod that extends through the water tank,
- wherein the actuating rod connects the conical nipple with the control lever so that the position of the conical nipple is changed relative to the valve insert under actuation of the control lever.
