ABSTRACT:
A horizontal-type fire protection sprinkler has a body defining an orifice and outlet for flow of fluid from a source, and a deflector disposed generally along an axis of the orifice and positioned for impingement of the flow of fluid from the outlet thereupon. The deflector has a generally vertical portion and a generally horizontal flow confining element. A substantial portion of the generally horizontal flow confining element is disposed relatively closer to the orifice than the generally vertical portion.
