ABSTRACT:
A two-part housing in which is mounted an elastically stretchable diaphragm dividing the interior of the housing into a substantially peripheral inlet chamber, and a central outlet chamber. The underside of the diaphragm is accessible to the pressure prevailing in the inlet chamber while at least one substantially tangentially oriented passageway connects the peripheral inlet chamber and the central outlet chamber. An inverted cup-like rotor having a hollow shaft is rotatably mounted in the housing, and a tubular projection substantially aligned with the hollow shaft extends inside the rotor. The rotor has an annular peripheral wall, the inner surface of which is provided with at least one discontinuity serving as a race for a ball. A flow of water introduced through the inlet connector enters the central outlet via the tangentially oriented passageways producing a vortex flow and exits the outlet chamber via the hollow shaft and the nozzle-like opening, simultaneously, imparting to the ball an orbital movement which, when encountering the transient discontinuity, imparts an impulse-like, limited angular motion to the rotor.
