Abstract:
1. Sprinkler apparatus comprising: a base adapted for attachment to a sprinkler assembly, a nozzle mounted on said base, said nozzle having a passage adapted to provide a liquid jet of a generally rectilinear cross-sectional configuration, means to supply liquid under pressure to the nozzle, a reflector surface disposed to be impacted by said liquid output jet from the nozzle, said nozzle and reflector surface being defined on a unitary nozzle device which is force-fitted into the base, said reflector surface being adapted and contoured to reflect said liquid jet in a spray to an area to be sprayed, said spray being of cross-sectional configuration generally similar to the rectilinear cross-sectional configuration of said liquid jet, the reflector surface having variations in the surface to reflect respective portions of spray at respective inclinations from the reflector to define respective portions of a predetermined spray pattern to respective portions of an area to be sprayed, whereby a spray pattern of a predetermined rectilinear cross-sectional configuration from the reflector surface is applied to the area to be sprayed.
