ABSTRACT:
Upright and pendent sprinklers for attachment to a supply of fire extinguishant each include a nozzle defining an opening for directing a stream of extinguishant, a deflector for deflecting a portion of the stream generally radially outwardly from the axis of the nozzle opening, and a framework or yoke for supporting the deflector in fixed spaced-apart relation to the nozzle. In the upright sprinkler, a second deflector is provided for deflecting a second portion of the stream generally downwardly concentric with the axis of the nozzle opening. The second deflector includes a downwardly facing concave surface bounded by an outer downwardly directed discharging lip. The second deflector is located intermediate the nozzle and the first-mentioned deflector. The second deflector also includes an inner directing lip defining a proportioning aperture for passing a fixed part of the stream upwardly to the first mentioned deflector and for directing a second portion of the stream upwardly, radially outwardly and then downwardly along the concave surface to the discharging lip. The pendent sprinkler includes a second aperture provided in the yoke beneath the first-mentioned aperture, and at least one vane which projects into the second aperture. The vane creates turbulence in the portion of the stream passed by the first aperture as it passes through the second aperture.
