12253067 · 2025-03-18 · ·

There is described an actuator device comprising a single molded housing, a linear bridge feature, a spring hook retention feature, and a power spring. The single molded housing is formed by integrating the linear bridge feature across the single molded housing and the spring hook retention feature to one side of the linear bridge feature. The power spring is inserted laterally through the linear bridge feature of the actuator device. The power spring includes a spring hook at one end, and the spring hook of the power spring attaches to the spring hook retention feature of the actuator device. The power spring applies, at least in part, a torque to a control shaft coupled to the actuator device.

Upright sprinkler and a sprinkler system

An upright sprinkler is disclosed. The sprinkler comprises a housing having a conduit extending therethrough, a heat-sensitive valve assembly configured above the conduit, and a nozzle arrangement configured below the conduit. The nozzle arrangement is fluidically connected to the conduit via the valve assembly, such that actuation of the valve assembly enables the flow of a fluid from the conduit to the nozzle arrangement via the valve assembly and further sprays the fluid at different downward-facing angles through the nozzle arrangement.
