An oscillating sprinkler includes a turbine operatively connected to a movable gear cage that is biased into either a first position or a second position using three torsion springs to drive rotation of a nozzle housing.

An aimable sprinkler is disclosed. The sprinkler can be mounting on an end of a traveling sprinkler system that moves in a linear direction or one that rotates about a center pivot tower. The sprinkler can include a base for connecting to the traveling sprinkler system and a turret coupled to the base so as to move in both yaw and pitch directions relative to the base. The sprinkler aims at discrete points within an irrigation area to achieve an even distribution of water.

The present application belongs to fluid control equipment, in particular, relates to directional controlling mechanism of fluidic sprinkler, comprising a rear reversing mechanism, a front reversing mechanism and a signal stream switching mechanism. A limiting shift rod of the rear mechanism rotate around a locating rod as the center after touching a limiting ring, then realize the reversing of the limiting shift rod. The reverse action of the limiting rod will finally lead a reversing arm to rotate by way of driving a reversing locating block, a rear reversing rod and a front reversing rod to rotate. The rear reversing mechanism, the front reversing mechanism and the signal stream switching mechanism act together, so as to switch a left-side signal stream nozzle and a right-side stream nozzle of a fluidic sprinkler, and bring about the reversing of the rotation direction of the fluidic sprinkler. Directional controlling mechanism of fluidic sprinkler is in a stepping state respectively in the clockwise and the counter clockwise working modes, so that the impact force on a rotary body is small, critical components tend to have a longer working life, an intermediate position does not exist during the reversing of the sprinkler, and the switching of the sprinkler is stable and reliable.

An automatic reversible arc assembly for a sprinkler includes a pair of primary stop members circumferentially spaced from each other by a first amount, and a pair of secondary stop members circumferentially spaced from each other by a second amount, different from the first amount. The primary stop members and the secondary stop members are coupled together and define a pivot assembly pivotable between a first position and a second position. A timer module cooperable with the pivot assembly is configured to hold the pivot assembly in the first position for a selectable period of time, after which the timer module enables the pivot assembly to pivot to the second position. The primary stop members are active in the first position, and the secondary stop members are active in the second position.

A quick connect coupler includes a female connector having a central bore and a plurality of recesses, and a male connector having a post insertable into the central bore. The male connector has a first tab row with a plurality of first tabs and a second tab row with a plurality of second tabs axially spaced from the plurality of first tabs. The first and second tabs are shaped corresponding to the recesses in the female connector. The first and second tab rows are circumferentially offset to effect a two- or multi-step connection between the female connector and the male connector.

An irrigation nozzle with a rotating deflector is provided whose rotational speed may be controlled by a friction brake. The nozzle may also include an arc adjustment valve having two portions that helically engage each other to define an opening that may be adjusted at the top of the sprinkler to a desired arcuate length. The arcuate length may be adjusted by pressing down and rotating a deflector to directly actuate the valve. The nozzle may also include a radius reduction valve that may be adjusted by actuation of an outer wall of the nozzle. Rotation of the outer wall causes a flow control member to move axially to or away from an inlet.

An irrigation sprinkler has a vertical axis (A) and is configured to emit a liquid jet. The sprinkler includes a base and a head operatively connected to the. A reciprocal element rotatably mounted to the head is configured to undergo reciprocal motion about the vertical axis (A), in response to being impacted with the liquid jet from a nozzle belonging to the head. The reciprocal element has a diffuser arm which carries a plurality of integrally formed, spaced apart diffuser posts which are configured to be hit by, and diffuse the liquid jet during the reciprocal motion.
