- the change in the nozzle opening results in a change in the jet pattern of the jet pattern generated by the nozzle arrangement.
- the axis of rotation extends in a preferred embodiment of the sprinkler in the regular operating position of the sprinkler substantially vertically.
- a first nozzle body with the first part curve formed by it is fixed in position with respect to the rotatable about the rotation axis and the nozzle assembly supporting sprinkler head and a second nozzle body with the second part curve is relative to the first nozzle body and the sprinkler head movable in the sprinkler head arranged.
- the first nozzle body may be an integral part of the sprinkler head, but is preferably part of a replaceable nozzle arrangement with the first and second nozzle body.
- the mobility of the second nozzle body is given in a preferred embodiment in that the second nozzle body is pivotable about a pivot axis, which preferably runs transversely to the vertical axis of rotation and transversely to the main radiation direction of the ejected water jet.
- the first and second nozzle bodies are in contact with each other at surfaces extending in a circular arc around the pivot axis.
- the pivot axis is preferably substantially horizontal in the regular operating position of the sprinkler.
- an upper portion of the edge curve of the nozzle opening is formed by a portion of the second part curve of the second nozzle body, wherein advantageously in the flow direction in front of the nozzle opening in the second nozzle body, a guide channel for water flowing to the nozzle opening is formed.
- the guide channel is set up for forming a low-turbulence part of the ejected by the nozzle assembly water jet at least for medium and large irrigation and advantageously has an upper boundary surface, which over a greater distance to the transverse dimensions of the nozzle opening at least approximately straight in the direction of ejection of a Nozzle opening leaving bundled beam portion runs and this significantly shaped.
- the guide channel is advantageously narrowed in the flow direction toward one another to the side boundary extending in the flow direction, which advantageously can favor a low-turbulence increase in the flow velocity of the water in the guide channel to the nozzle opening.
- the spray pattern of the ejected water jet contains, in addition to that, the irrigation width at least at medium and large Irregulated bundled beam portion determining the spray widths even weaker bundled beam portions and / or spray portions for sprinkling surface portions lying closer to the axis of rotation.
- a lower portion of the variable edge curve of the nozzle opening is advantageously formed by at least a portion of the first part curve of the first nozzle body.
- the first part curve is at least approximately V-shaped.

- FIG. 1 shows, in a partially sectioned oblique view, an advantageous embodiment of a sprinkler with an adjustable sprinkling width of a water jet generated by a nozzle arrangement DU as a jet pattern SB.
- the sprinkler has a sprinkler housing GE which can be erected on a floor surface and on which a control cam SK forms a running surface LF which surrounds a rotation axis DA which is vertical in typical setup and a sprinkler head rotatable about the vertical axis of rotation DA relative to the housing GE.
- the tread LF is adjustable in its vertical position relative to the housing GE at a plurality of discrete positions via lever SH.
- a nozzle assembly DU is arranged, which contains at least one nozzle body pivotable about a horizontal nozzle pivot axis VA.
- the nozzle body is pivotable about the nozzle pivot axis VA by means of a lever mechanism of levers TV, TZ and TH, wherein a control lever TH is pivotable about a horizontal lever axis HA and rests with an over the sprinkler RK radially outwardly projecting end on the tread LF.
- water is passed under increased pressure to a drive unit AG arranged in a drive unit via a water inlet WE water, which in in itself known manner causes a rotation of the sprinkler head about the axis of rotation DA.
- the moving along the running surface LF end of the control lever is pivoted in accordance with the non-planar course of the control cam SK and this pivoting is via the lever mechanism TZ TV transmitted to a pivoting of the at least one nozzle body about the pivot axis VA.
- the nozzle body which can be pivoted over the lever mechanism is urged by a spring into a pivoting direction which presses the end of the control lever TH resting against the running surface LF against the running surface LF via the lever mechanism.
- the action of the spring force directly on the pivotable nozzle body of the nozzle assembly DU is particularly advantageous because even with any given game in bearings of the lever mechanism always a defined relationship between the pivot position of the at least one nozzle body to the nozzle pivot axis VA and the height profile of the tread LF of the cam given is.
- Such sprinklers with the rotation angle about a vertical axis of rotation DA depending adjustable irrigation width are also known in various other embodiments. The invention is therefore not limited to the preferred embodiment of a sprinkler shown in FIG. Essential features of the invention relate to the nozzle arrangement DU, which is preferably held interchangeably in a nozzle carrier DT on the sprinkler head.
- FIG. 2 shows, in an isolated representation, a preferred embodiment of a nozzle arrangement which has a first nozzle body D1 and a second nozzle body D2 which can be pivoted relative to the latter about the nozzle pivot axis VA contains.
- a form-fitting coupling structure HK which is executed in FIG. 2 in a star shape around the nozzle pivot axis VA and is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a shaft, is provided.
- a partial curve K1 is formed, which in the example shown has two opposite, approximately V-shaped edges running down toward one another.
- the sub-curve K1 determines a part of the edge opening bounding a nozzle opening.
- the nozzle opening is designated in FIG. 2 by OM.
- the edge curve of the nozzle opening OM is bounded at the top by a second nozzle body D2, which in the example sketched has an upper edge K21 and side edges opposite K22.
- FIG. 3 shows the nozzle arrangement according to FIG. 2 in a partially cutaway view from the rear side of FIG. 2, which corresponds to a viewing direction approximately in the direction of the jet ejected through the nozzle opening OM.
- the first nozzle body D1 forms in the advantageous embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 at the same time a substantially roller-shaped housing of the nozzle arrangement, in which the second nozzle body D2 is pivotably mounted about the nozzle pivot axis VA.
- the star-shaped connection structure HK is in this case coupled to the second nozzle body D2 in a rotationally fixed manner with respect to the nozzle pivot axis VA via a common shaft.
- a third nozzle body D3 may be provided, which is preferably arranged non-rotatably in the first nozzle body relative to the first nozzle body.
- the third nozzle body D3 can therefore also be integrally formed with the first nozzle body D3. be formed body D1.
- the embodiment as a separate third nozzle body is based primarily on advantages in terms of manufacturability of the first and third nozzle body as plastic injection molded parts.
- a third sub-curve K3 of the third nozzle body D3 closes the nozzle opening OM downwards. Due to the fixed spatial allocation of the first nozzle body and the third nozzle body, the partial curves K1 and K3 can also be regarded as a partial curve with different curve sections.
- FIG. 3 clearly shows a particularly advantageous embodiment of the second nozzle body DA pivotable about the nozzle pivot axis VA.
- This has upstream of the nozzle opening a guide channel FK, which is bounded by an upper surface and two side surfaces.
- the guide channel FK is open at the bottom.
- the guide channel extends at least approximately linearly with its upper center line, which lies in a vertical plane containing the main beam direction of the emitted beam and the axis of rotation DA.

- the constricting passage of the guide channel FK also favors a large irrigation width of the bundled portion of the water jet ejected through this part of the nozzle opening by a higher flow velocity associated with the narrowing of the cross section.
- a middle pivot position of the second nozzle body D2 is selected, against which the upper edge K21 of the second nozzle body D2 is pivotable both upwards and downwards in order to enlarge or reduce the overall cross-sectional area of the nozzle opening ,
- the nozzle opening is changed in its upper region, in particular an upper portion of the edge curve of the nozzle opening changed and displaced in height.
- the pivoting of the second nozzle sen ifies the inclination angle of the center line of the upper boundary of the guide channel relative to the axis of rotation DA changed, which significantly determines the beam exit direction of the concentrated portion of the jet pattern SB of the discharged water jet.
- a steeper jet exit direction of the bundled portion of the jet pattern SB is advantageously connected to a larger portion of the second part curve at the edge curve of the nozzle opening, so that at steeper exit angle and a larger bundled beam portion is present, which is for uniform sprinkling at larger throw distances of particular advantage ,
- FIGS. 4 to 6 show a pivot position of the second nozzle body D2 assigned to a maximum irrigation width.
- AR denotes the beam exit direction of the beam portion of the beam pattern SB bundled by the guide channel FK.
- the upper edge K21 of the second part curve of the second nozzle body D2 at the outlet of the guide channel is still spaced from the upper boundary of the first part curve K1 forming recess in the first nozzle body.
- the side edges K22 of the second part curve at the outlet of the guide channel FK lie substantially within the opening in the first nozzle body formed by the first part curve K1, so that the blast pattern SB is determined in its upper region essentially by the second part curve K21, K22 and of the guide channel FK is designed as a well-bundled beam component.
- FIG. 5 shows the nozzle arrangement with a viewing direction opposite to the ejected water jet, from which the proportions of the first and the second partial curve at the edge curve of the nozzle arrangement are again illustrated.
- Fig. 6 shows a view obliquely from the front of the nozzle arrangement in the position associated with a maximum irrigation width.
- the nozzle opening is designated OH.
- FIGS. 7 to 9 show different views of the nozzle arrangement in a pivoting position of the second nozzle body assigned to a minimum irrigation width, FIG. 7 being a partially sectioned oblique view from the front, FIG. 8 being a frontal view of the nozzle opening OL and FIG. 9 represent an analogous to Fig. 6 oblique view.
