Abstract

A sprinkler adjustment member includes a plurality of nozzle tubes aligned in a sprinkler base. An adjustment piece is assembled with the sprinkler base. The adjustment piece controls and guide the plurality of nozzle tubes correspondingly and the adjustment piece swings so as to drive the plurality of nozzle tubes moving at an angle and different water distribution patterns are provided. The sprinkler base is pivotally disposed on a receiving member and for adjustment angle with a pendulum movement. A place base is connected with the receiving member and the receiving member is capable of pivoting on the place base, such that the sprinkler moves and tilts at multi-angles and multi-directions for providing various sprinkling patterns.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sprinkler adjustment member, comprising:
a sprinkler base in which a plurality of nozzle tubes is disposed and comprising a first connecting member and a second connecting member, wherein said first connecting member and said second connecting member are respectively disposed on two sides of said sprinkler base,
a receiving member, comprising a pivoting arrangement, pivoted with said first connecting member and said second connecting member on two sides respectively and correspondingly, wherein said pivoting arrangement is disposed on one end of said receiving member, such that said sprinkler base is pivotable on said receiving member for adjustment angle with a pendulum movement,
a place base, wherein said pivoting arrangement of said receiving member is positioned over said place base and said receiving member is capable of rotating pivotally for 360 degrees on said place base to provide a desired tilting angle of said sprinkler base, such that said sprinkler base moves and tilts at multi-angles and multi-directions for providing various sprinkling patterns; and
a nozzle cover having a plurality of through holes, and an adjustment piece, wherein said sprinkler base having at least a plurality of holes aligned in a row and disposed on top thereof, wherein said nozzle cover coupled at said sprinkler base at a position that said through holes are positioned over said nozzle tubes, wherein said adjustment piece has a pivot end pivotally engaged with said sprinkler base and a plurality of guiding openings spacedly formed at an interval to receive said nozzle tubes, such that when said adjustment piece is pivotally swung, said nozzle tubes are driven to move and tilt at different angle for providing various sprinkling patterns, wherein said adjustment piece has a tapered shape that a width of said adjustment is gradually reduced toward said pivot end.

2. A sprinkler adjustment member, comprising:
a sprinkler base in which a plurality of nozzle tubes is disposed and comprising a first connecting member and a second connecting member, wherein said first connecting member and said second connecting member are respectively disposed on two sides of said sprinkler base,
a receiving member, comprising a pivoting arrangement, pivoted with said first connecting member and said second connecting member on two sides respectively and correspondingly, wherein said pivoting arrangement is disposed on one end of said receiving member, such that said sprinkler base is pivotable on said receiving member for adjustment angle with a pendulum movement,
a place base, wherein said pivoting arrangement of said receiving member is positioned over said place base and said receiving member is capable of rotating pivotally for 360 degrees on said place base to provide a desired tilting angle of said sprinkler base, such that said sprinkler base moves and tilts at multi-angles and multi-directions for providing various sprinkling patterns; and
a nozzle cover having a plurality of through holes, and an adjustment piece, wherein said sprinkler base having at least a plurality of holes aligned in a row and disposed on top thereof, wherein said nozzle cover coupled at said sprinkler base at a position that said through holes are positioned over said nozzle tubes, wherein said adjustment piece has a pivot end pivotally engaged with said sprinkler base and a plurality of guiding openings spacedly formed at an interval to receive said nozzle tubes, such that when said adjustment piece is pivotally swung, said nozzle tubes are driven to move and tilt at different angle for providing various sprinkling patterns, wherein said guiding openings has different lengths that the lengths of said guiding openings are reduced toward said pivot end of said adjustment piece.

3. A sprinkler adjustment member, comprising:
a sprinkler base comprising a first connecting member and a second connecting member located at two sides of said sprinkler base, wherein said sprinkler base further comprises a plurality of nozzle tubes;
a receiving member which comprises a pivoting member, wherein said receiving member is pivotally coupled with said first connecting member an said second connecting member, such that said sprinkler base is pivotable on said receiving member for adjustment angle with a pendulum movement;
a place base, wherein said receiving member is pivoted with said place base; and
an assemble member coupled between said place base and said receiving member, wherein said assemble member comprises a pipe element and a sleeve element formed into an annular body to have a plurality of short claws and a plurality of long claws, wherein said sleeve element is located in said pipe element that said long claws are strutted by said pipe element, wherein said pivoting member of said receiving member is inserted through said sleeve element to engage with said short claws, such that said receiving member is selectively and pivotally rotating for 360 degrees on said place base to provide a desired tilting angle of said sprinkler base, while said sprinkler base moves and tilts at multi-angles and multi-directions for providing various sprinkling patterns.

4. The sprinkler adjustment member, as recited in claim 3 , wherein a bottom of an external diameter of each of said short claws forms a convex part and a bottom of an inner diameter of each of said long claws forms a concave part, wherein said pivoting member has a tooth member formed at an end thereof, wherein said tooth member of said pivoting member abuts against a tail end of said convex part and is stuck in said concave part temporarily, wherein each of said long claws is elastic, wherein when said receiving member is rotated, said tooth member is driven to deviate from one of said concave parts and is temporarily located in the next concave part.

5. The sprinkler adjustment member, as recited in claim 4 , wherein said place base has a screw connecting part, wherein said assemble member further comprises a spiral tooth member coupled at said screw connecting part of said place base.

6. The sprinkler adjustment member, as recited in claim 5 , wherein said spiral tooth member has a slot part at one end thereof, wherein said pipe element is fixed with said slot part firmly.

7. The sprinkler adjustment member, as recited in claim 3 , further comprising a nozzle cover having a plurality of through holes, and an adjustment piece, wherein said sprinkler base having at least a plurality of holes aligned in a row and disposed on top thereof, wherein said nozzle cover coupled at said sprinkler base at a position that said through holes are positioned over said nozzle tubes, wherein said adjustment piece has a pivot end pivotally engaged with said sprinkler base and a plurality of guiding openings spacedly formed at an interval to receive said nozzle tubes, such that when said adjustment piece is pivotally swung, said nozzle tubes are driven to move and tilt at different angle for providing various sprinkling patterns.

8. The sprinkler adjustment member, as recited in claim 4 , further comprising a nozzle cover having a plurality of through holes, and an adjustment piece, wherein said sprinkler base having at least a plurality of holes aligned in a row and disposed on top thereof, wherein said nozzle cover coupled at said sprinkler base at a position that said through holes are positioned over said nozzle tubes, wherein said adjustment piece has a pivot end pivotally engaged with said sprinkler base and a plurality of guiding openings spacedly formed at an interval to receive said nozzle tubes, such that when said adjustment piece is pivotally swung, said nozzle tubes are driven to move and tilt at different angle for providing various sprinkling patterns.
