Abstract:
A 360-degree sprinkler head comprising:a main member, shaped like a hollow cylinder, consisting of: an annular member positioned at a center thereof with a plurality of coupling tabs integrated to said hollow cylinder; a stepped edge disposed at an upper end of said hollow cylinder; an adjustment ring, formed as a stepped annular member, including: a round nut at a lower side of said stepped annular member; a helical rib proceeding around a surface opening at an upper end of said stepped annular member; a beveled surface articulated as an outlet along the inner edge of said helical rib; a cap, formed as a funnel-shaped cover member, consisting of: a helical beveled surface formed around a lower surface of an upper portion thereof; a threaded section and a spigot tube sequentially disposed at a middle lower section thereof; a passage through a center of said threaded section and said spigot tube; a plurality of slots disposed at intervals in an outer wall of said spigot tube; a lip formed along an outer periphery of said spigot tube; and a lock bolt wherein said adjustment ring is placed onto said stepped edge of the main member and wherein said threaded section of said cap is fastened into said round nut on the adjustment ring so that said spigot tube at a lower end of said threaded section is inserted into said annular member of the main member and said lip on the spigot tube engages the lower end surface of said annular member, enabling said main member, said adjustment ring and said cap to become a single unitary entity, and finally said lock bolt is inserted upward through a lower extent of the main member and fastened into said passage to prevent the contraction and upward dislodging of said spigot tube.
