Abstract:
1. A device for a sprinkler which comprises an outer tube and an inner tube which is mounted in said outer tube in such a manner that said inner tube is moved up and down automatically by water pressure, wherein said device, which is arranged for being connected to said inner tube, comprises: a nozzle assembly having a vertical main channel and defining a water inlet at a bottom of said main channel and a water outlet at one side of said nozzle assembly at the outer end of said main channel, wherein said nozzle assembly further has a side hole formed at a transverse side of said main channel; a nozzle provided at said water outlet of said nozzle assembly; and an adjustment member, which is horizontally coupled with said main channel, selectively closing said water outlet and controlling a diameter of a flow path of said main channel to selectively control a flow volume of water to said nozzle, wherein said adjustment member is formed in cylindrical shape to define a cylinder and a conical frustum and is threaded inside said side hole of said nozzle assembly, wherein a diameter of said conical frustum is larger than a diameter of said cylinder, wherein one end of said adjustment member is arranged for closing said water outlet while the other end thereof is provided with a slot for being rotated and driven, wherein said nozzle assembly is arranged for being hidden within said outer tube when said inner tube is retracted into said outer tube, so as to hide said side hole of said nozzle assembly and said slot of said adjustment member therewithin, wherein when said inner tube is moved upwardly to expose out of said outer tube, said adjustment member is enabled to drive to rotate within said side hole in order to move said adjustment member to close said water outlet, wherein said nozzle assembly comprises a ring secured in said side hole of said nozzle assembly and defined an inner threaded section and an inner bore, wherein said adjustment member has an outer threaded section which is formed at said cylinder and is engaged with said inner threaded section of said ring and is arranged in such a manner that when said adjustment member is driven to rotate, said conical frustum is moved to close said water outlet, wherein said conical frustum has a side end surface arranged to bias against an end surface of said ring when said conical frustum is moved away from said water outlet to prevent said adjustment member being released from said ring.
