Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sprinkler includes a turbine, a gear drive, a nozzle turret, and a nozzle that is installed in the turret. The gear drive rotatably couples the turbine and the nozzle. The nozzle has an exit angle which is different from its entry angle to change the trajectory of the water as it passes through the nozzle. The nozzle can be installed in an orientation to increase the trajectory of the water leaving the sprinkler, or installed in an orientation to decrease the trajectory of the water leaving the sprinkler.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. An irrigation sprinkler, comprising: a riser; a turbine; a nozzle turret mounted at an upper end of the riser; a drive assembly mounted in the riser and coupling the turbine and the nozzle turret so that pressurized water entering a lower end of the riser will cause the nozzle turret to rotate; and a nozzle configured for removable insertion into a socket in the nozzle turret, the nozzle having: a base configured to be received by the socket in a first orient…
