NOZZLE SYSTEM AND METHOD
Spray nozzle systems and methods of use are described herein. The spray nozzle system may include a stationary tube, a rigid rotor, and a sub-medium supply source. The stationary tube may be in fluid communication with a pressurized air source. The substantially rigid rotor is in fluid communication with the pressurized air source. The substantially rigid rotor includes a substantially rigid conduit that is in fluid communication with the passages of the stationary tube and the rotor. A portion of the conduit is substantially arched such that an outlet of the conduit is offset a radial distance in a radial direction from the rotor axis. Pressurized air ejected from the outlet produces directional components of the pressurized air in the direction of rotation about the rotor axis; and during use, the pressurized air rotates the rotor and sucks sub-medium from the sub-medium supply source into the stationary tube passage.
ROTARY SPRAYER HEAD
An improved sprayer head assembly is provided, comprising a swivel base; a head assembly; and a cage assembly. The head assembly is operatively attached to the swivel base, wherein the head assembly includes a head having a main passageway and at least two nozzle passageways; a first nozzle and a second nozzle fluidically and rotatably attached to the head, wherein the first and second nozzles are adjustable relative to the head to allow zero rotation of the head, maximum rotational speed of the head, or intermediate rotational speeds of the head during use. The cage assembly surrounds the head assembly for protection and is attached to the swivel base.
Multiple orientation rotatable sprinkler
A rotatable sprinkler including a water outlet nozzle providing a pressurized axial stream of water along a nozzle axis, and a rotatable water deflector assembly, downstream of the water outlet nozzle and receiving the pressurized axial stream of water therefrom, the rotatable water deflector assembly being rotated during sprinkler operation by the pressurized axial stream of water about a rotatable water path deflector assembly axis, the rotatable water deflector assembly including a first rotatable water path deflector portion and a second rotatable water path deflector portion, which is user rotatable relative to the first rotatable water path deflector portion about a second rotatable water path deflector axis, thereby enabling user selection of at least one water distribution parameter.

MULTIPLE ORIENTATION ROTATABLE SPRINKLER
A rotatable sprinkler including a water outlet nozzle providing a pressurized axial stream of water along a nozzle axis, and a rotatable water deflector assembly, downstream of the water outlet nozzle and receiving the pressurized axial stream of water therefrom, the rotatable water deflector assembly being rotated during sprinkler operation by the pressurized axial stream of water about a rotatable water path deflector assembly axis, the rotatable water deflector assembly including a first rotatable water path deflector portion and a second rotatable water path deflector portion, which is user rotatable relative to the first rotatable water path deflector portion about a second rotatable water path deflector axis, thereby enabling user selection of at least one water distribution parameter.
AIRBORNE MATERIAL SPREADING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR SPREADING MATERIAL
A spreading assembly is provided. The spreading assembly comprises a spreadable material container, a spreading mechanism, and a motor. The spreading mechanism is rotatably mounted to a bottom section of the material container and can disperse the spreadable material 360? around the spreading assembly. The motor is operatively connected to the spreading mechanism to engage same in rotation. The spreading assembly comprises a coupling assembly to engage the spreading assembly with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configured to transport the spreading assembly while it operates.
SPRINKLER TOY
A sprinkler toy device and method are provided. In use, a flow stream is received at a connector of a sprinkler base. Next, the flow stream is conveyed to a rotatable arm, wherein the rotatable arm allows for 360 degree movement in a first axis direction. Additionally, the flow stream is then conveyed to a flexible tubular member connected to a metal coil, wherein the metal coil allows for movement in a second axis direction, and the flexible tubular member is capable of movement in the first axis direction and the second axis direction. Further, the flow stream is conveyed to one or more objects connected to the flexible tubular member and the flow stream is expelled through one or more spray valves attached to each of the one or more objects.
MULTIPLE ORIENTATION ROTATABLE SPRINKLER
A rotatable sprinkler including a water outlet nozzle providing a pressurized axial stream of water along a nozzle axis, and a rotatable water deflector assembly, downstream of the water outlet nozzle and receiving the pressurized axial stream of water therefrom, the rotatable water deflector assembly being rotated during sprinkler operation by the pressurized axial stream of water about a rotatable water path deflector assembly axis, the rotatable water deflector assembly including a first rotatable water path deflector portion and a second rotatable water path deflector portion, which is user rotatable relative to the first rotatable water path deflector portion about a second rotatable water path deflector axis, thereby enabling user selection of at least one water distribution parameter.
WATER ROTATABLE DISTRIBUTOR FOR STREAM ROTARY SPRINKLERS
A rotating distributor for use in a rotary type sprinkler is conically shaped and includes a plurality of water channels provided on a bottom surface thereof to guide water from a center axis of the distributor radially outward to an outer circumference of the distributor. The grooves are provided to collect and guide the water with a minimum of spray and turbulence and to impart rotation on the distributor. The depth of the grooves may be used to control flow and range as desired. An elevation control ring may be provided to vary the elevation angle of water leaving the grooves to control range. A kick angle control element may be provided to modify a kick angle at an outer circumferential end of selected grooves to provide speed control, if desired.
