Description
AUSTRALIA Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION INNOVATION PATENT ADJUSTABLE BUSHFIRE PROTECTION BUILDING SPRAYER HEAD The following statement Is a full description of this Invention , including the best method of performing it known to me: 1. ADJUSTABLE BUSHFIRd PROTECTION SPRAYERISPRINKLER HEAD For many years water spray/sprinkler systems have been in use in an attempt to enhance the protection of buildings in the face of potential threat from fire in bushfire prone areas. It is accordingly, the object of this invention, to provide a means of Increasing the efficiency of these fie spray/sprinkler systems. This invention allows for spray/sprinkler heads to be positioned firstly in relation to exterior walls so that a curtain of water droplets Is lormed around the perimeter of the building so that any strong winds accompa nying a fire and moving the fire in the dIrection of the building will then propel the water being forced under pressure from the sprayer/sprnkler head onto the building surface. Because of the 380 degree adjustability of the rotating arms (see FIg I) water can be directed at vulnerable areas which may need special attention. This special attention is typicaly needed because of the potential for airborne embers to gather in areas such as doorways and recesses and the like. Because existing spray/sprinkler heads have been designed for agricultural use, their spray characteristics are notably inefficient when used to protect buildings against bushfire because a. They tend to project water flow away from their fixed position and in a fixed pattern b. They typically use large amounts of water for the area covered. This invention addresses the limitations of these spray/sprinkler heads by the adjustability of the direction of flow and also the ease of installation because of the adjustable flange and threaded feed pipe. A sprayer/sprinkler head in Accordance with this Invention comprises a typical agricultural industry sprinkler spray head with rotating arms which are propelled to rotation by the pressurized water stream exiting the arms. This Invention is designed so that the arms are adjustable through as much as 360 degrees In order to direct the water flow as required. The feed pipe has an external thread, along which a moveable fixdng flange can be screw adjusted to en able the sprayer/sprinkler head to be moved In or out to its required position. A typical use of this adjust ment would be to allow for clearance from gutters of differing profiles attached to the building facia. The sprayer/sprinkler head is preferably made from brass, however, other materials suitable for use when substantial heat is present could also be used. The Invention may be better understood with reference to the illustrations of embodiment of the invention In which: Figure 1 is a one dimensional sectional view of the invention fixed to a building wall via the adjustable fixing flange with the externally threaded feed pipe penetrating the wall. (water would be fed to this Pipe via a wa ter storage tank and petrol or diesel pump). Figure 2. Is a view of a typical spray pattern when a number of sprayer/sprdnkler heads from this invention are affixed to a building wall. Figure 3. Is a one dimensional sectional view of the invention showing how direction of flow can be adjusted by moving the rotating arms through as much as 360 degrees.
Claims (4)
1. A sprayer/sprinkler head comprising two or more rotating arms driven to rotate by water pressure from a nozzle at the end of each arm.
2. Each rotating arm may be adjusted through 360 degrees to allow infinite adjustment of the direction of flow of each arm.
3. An adjustable flange which can be screwed along a feeder pipe with external thread to allow the sprayer/sprinkler head to be moved into or out from the fixing surface as required and in accordance with the length of the feeder pipe required.
4. A sprinkler/sprayer head substantially as herein before described with reference to figures 1-3 of the accompanying drawings. Raymond Leonard Butler Richard John Barrington
