  A hose 140 is connected to the hose connection part 112. The hose 140 is connected to the sprinkler body 110 via the hose connection part 112 at one end, and is connected to a water source (for example, a water tap) at the other end. Water from the water source is supplied to the sprinkler body 110 via the hose 140.

  A nozzle 120 is attached to the nozzle attachment port 113. The water supplied to the sprinkler body 110 from the water source via the hose 140 passes through the inside of the sprinkler body 110 and is then discharged to the outside from the opening at the tip of the nozzle 120.

  The lever 130 is used to control the start or stop of water discharge from the nozzle 120.

  The lever 130 is attached to the sprinkler body 110 so as to be rotatable with respect to the sprinkler body 110 in a plane including the sprinkler body 110 around the rotation center axis 131.

  Specifically, the lever 130 is between the first position (the position of the solid line in FIG. 1) and the second position (the position of the broken line in FIG. 1) (exactly, the first position and the second position are exceeded). Between the two positions). The first position is a position when the lever 130 is not biased, and the second position is a position when the lever 130 is biased from the first position toward the sprinkler body 110.

  When the lever 130 is in the first position, water discharge from the nozzle 120 stops, and when the lever 130 is in the second position, water discharge from the nozzle 120 is performed.
