Claim Text:
1. A flexible dry sprinkler head comprising: a flexible conduit having a first end and a second end, the flexible conduit being configured to couple to a fluid supply; a sprinkler nozzle mounted at the first end of the flexible conduit, wherein the sprinkler nozzle includes an element that breaks when exposed to predetermined temperatures; and a valve disposed proximate to the second end of the flexible conduit and having an open state and a closed state, the valve configured to allow fluid from the fluid supply to flow through the conduit when the valve is in the open state and to prevent fluid from the fluid supply from flowing through the conduit when the valve is in the closed state; and a link that extends between and is coupled to the sprinkler nozzle and the valve, such that breaking of the element causes the link to allow the valve to move to the open state.
