ABSTRACT:
A sprinkler head comprising a stationary sprinkler body structure defining an inlet adapted to be connected with a source of water under pressure and a water-tight chamber communicating with the inlet, a movable tubular water distributing structure providing an inlet and a spaced discharge nozzle in flow communication relation therewith, a ball and socket connection for (1) mounting the water distributing structure on the sprinkler body structure with the inlet thereof within the chamber and the discharge nozzle exteriorly of the chamber for (a) rotational movement about a generally upright axis and (b) orbital movement in which the rotational axis of the water distributing structure describes a pair of cones whose apexes join at a point coinciding with the center of the ball and socket connection, and (2) providing a water-tight seal for the chamber between the sprinkler body structure and the water distributing structure in any position of movement thereof, a swirl plate within said chamber and an inverted cup-shaped element on the water distributing structure operable in response to the flow of water from the sprinkler body structure inlet to the discharge nozzle for effecting the aforesaid orbital movement of said water distributing structure, and a disk on the water distributing structure in rolling contact with the sprinkler body structure for effecting a fractional rotational movement of the water distributing structure during each orbital movement thereof.
