Claim 12:
13. A sprinkler shield for placement proximate to a separate and independent sprinkler head to direct spray from the sprinkler head towards a desired area such as a lawn and away from an undesired area such as a sidewalk, driveway or the like comprising:
a stalk comprising a first stalk end and a second stalk end, the stalk being adapted to be placed in ground proximate the sprinkler head;
a rod coupled to the stalk at the second stalk end, where the rod comprises a first rod end, a second rod end, and a pivot at the first rod end;
a stalk spring inserted on the pivot;
a first deflector coupled to rod;
a second deflector at a first angle from the first deflector and coupled to the rod; and
a deflector spring configured to separate the first deflector from the second deflector at an angle about a vertical plane;
whereby the stalk spring is configured to pivot the first and second deflectors, by contact of the sprinkler head with the deflectors, from a first substantially horizontal position over the sprinkler head to a second substantially vertical position adjacent to the sprinkler head when compressed by action of the sprinkler head coming into contact with the sprinkler head.
