Abstract:
A sprinkler assembly ( 10 ) having a receiving member ( 12 ), a fluid tight seal ( 44 ) and a sprinkler frame ( 14 ). The receiving member includes an inner surface ( 22 ) defining an internal passageway and a central axis (A-A) of the assembly. The frame of the sprinkler includes an internal surface ( 38 ) that defines a fluid passage. The sprinkler assembly includes cooperating positioning elements ( 28, 40 ) which engage and couple the sprinkler frame to the receiving member for at least one of an axial and rotational adjustment between the frame and receiving member. The engaged positioning elements facilitate formation or location of the fluid tight seal between the sprinkler frame and receiving member, the seal being spaced from the engaged positioning elements. In one aspect of the assembly, the sprinkler frame and receiving member are made of plastic material (e.g. CPVC).

Claim (Index 17):
A sprinkler assembly for coupling to a fluid supply system, the sprinkler assembly comprising:\n a receiver including an inner surface defining an internal passageway extending from a proximal end to a distal end to define a central longitudinal axis of the assembly, the receiver having a plurality of recesses circumscribed about the central longitudinal axis; and a sprinkler comprising:\n a sprinkler frame having a first end and a second end, the first end comprising a plurality of resilient legs unitarily formed with a plurality of radiused bumps; and \n a deflector coupled to the sprinkler frame; \n wherein the first end of the sprinkler frame is disposed in the internal passageway of the receiver such that the plurality of radiused bumps engages the plurality of recesses to couple the sprinkler frame to the receiver.
