Claim:
1. A fire sprinkler assembly configured to disperse a fire suppressing liquid over a non-circular coverage area, said assembly comprising: a frame, said frame including a fastener configured to connect with a supply line to receive an outflow of fire-suppressing liquid from the supply line along an outflow axis, a deflector configured to disperse the outflow of fire-suppressing liquid in a generally non-circular conical spray to achieve a non-circular coverage area, said deflector having an overall width and an overall length measured perpendicular to said overall width, said deflector having a mid-point generally centered on said outflow axis, said deflector including a center section containing said mid-point, the non-circular coverage area having a major diameter and a shorter minor diameter generally perpendicular to said major diameter, said overall deflector length being greater than said overall deflector width, said deflector comprising a generally semi-cylindrical body disposed perpendicularly to said outflow axis, wherein said deflector includes a pair of hoods, said hoods extending in opposite directions from said center section to respective outermost edges, said hoods disposed generally parallel to said major diameter, each said hood having a width that tapers from a maximum dimension adjacent said center section to a minimum dimension adjacent said outermost edges.
