Abstract:
1. A sprinkler configured for irrigation of a predetermined area, said sprinkler comprising: a sprinkler body having a central axis, and formed with a an irrigation inlet configured for receiving irrigation fluid, and a nozzle configured for discharging there through a directional jet of said irrigation fluid, said sprinkler further comprising a reciprocal element configured for performing a reciprocal rotary motion about said central axis, and a deflecting member comprising an attachment mechanism for fixed engagement thereof with said reciprocal element, and at least a first deflective surface, said deflecting member being configured for performing a reciprocal rotary motion about said central axis together with said reciprocal element, said deflecting member having a first portion and a second portion, said second portion being angled relative to said first portion and circumferentially spaced from said first portion about the central axis, wherein said deflecting member is configured to assume at least a first position with respect to said nozzle in which said first portion faces said nozzle, by virtue of which the directional jet emitted from said sprinkler and impinging on said first portion is deflected at a first angle yielding a first irrigation range of the sprinkler, and at least a second position with respect to said nozzle in which said second portion faces said nozzle, by virtue of which the directional jet emitted from the sprinkler and impinging on said second portion is deflected at a second angle different from the first angle, yielding a second irrigation range different than the first irrigation range.
