Abstract:
1. An improved adjustable lawn sprinkler comprising: a counterbalanced rotating nozzle assembly having a top portion, a middle portion and a bottom portion; said top portion of the nozzle assembly having a nozzle for producing a stream of water and wherein according to an angle of the nozzle assembly, the nozzle dispenses the stream of water at an angle of between approximately 45 degrees to approximately 90 degrees relative to the ground; said nozzle forming a central hole through which water flows; said nozzle further forming an annular opening through which water flows; said middle portion having a connecting mechanism for pivotally connecting to said nozzle assembly in a manner that allows said nozzle assembly to rotate; said bottom portion having a counterweight for counterbalancing said nozzle; a water transfer member in fluid communication through said connecting mechanism and to said nozzle assembly; a guide member affixed to said water transfer member and generally circumscribing said upper portion and aligned and positioned by a user to create a specific shape, with the specific shape corresponding to the area of a lawn that is to be irrigated by the water stream produced by the lawn sprinkler, wherein said specific shape can be user defined through manipulation of the position of said barriers; and a plurality of barriers for impinging against said guide member, wherein said nozzle further comprises a deflector for providing movement of the nozzle assembly when a water stream comes into contact with the deflector, wherein said deflector is attached to an elongated wire member having a pivot section and connected at each end to the deflector and the middle section is connected to a pivoting mechanism, wherein when said middle section of the wire member comes into contact with the barriers within the user defined shape, and is curved to a specific formula.
