Abstract:
A sprinkler nozzle for throwing at least one water stream having an adjustable trajectory, which comprises:(a) a nozzle body having an exterior defined by a top wall and a peripheral sidewall extending downwardly from the top wall;(b) at least one nozzle port, wherein the nozzle port has a radial outer end and a radial inner end to throw a stream of water outwardly from the sidewall of the nozzle body to one side of the nozzle body at a given trajectory relative to a horizontal plane, wherein the nozzle port is adjustable on the nozzle body to allow the trajectory of the water stream issuing from the nozzle port to be adjusted by raising or lowering the radial outer end of the nozzle port relative to the inner end thereof without rotating the nozzle port about a longitudinal fore and aft axis;(c) a trajectory adjustment member movably carried on the nozzle body for selectively adjusting the trajectory of the nozzle port, wherein the trajectory adjustment member is operatively connected to the nozzle port for raising or lowering the radial outer end of the nozzle port relative to the inner end thereof when the trajectory adjustment member is selectively operated; and(d) wherein the trajectory adjustment member is accessible from the top wall of the nozzle body to be operable from above the sprinkler nozzle.
