1 Claim. l
This invention relates to sprinkler heads for spray nozzles of the type used on lawn sprinklers and the like, and in particular includes a body having a base threaded to receive a water supply pipe or stand with a closed outer end having spaced openings therethrough and with a baille cap threaded on the outer end and provided with an outlet or discharge opening offset from the opening in the end of the body and having a semi-circular baille angularly disposed in relation to the opening.
The purpose of this invention is to provide an improved sprinkler head having a baille nut adjustably mounted on the outer end and a lock nut for securing the baffle nut in adjusted position.
Various types of sprinkler heads have been provided and openings have been used in various positions in the ends of nozzles but it is diillcult to provide adjusting means for regulating the spray without changing the size of the opening and without danger of forming sediment accumulating pockets in the head. With this thought in mind this invention contemplates a sprinkler head having a body with discharge openings in the outer end and with a baille nut secured in adjusted positions on the body by a' lock nut and provided with baille surfaces positioned in the path of water passing through the head.
The object of this invention is therefore, to provide means for forming the outer end oi a sprinkler head whereby the passage oi water through the head is obstructed by offset passages and protruding bailles.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved spray nozzle or sprinkler head that may be threaded on the ends of pipes or sprinkler stands now in use.
A further object oi the invention is to provide an improved sprinkler head having a baille adjustably positioned in relation to the body which is of a simple and economical construction.
With these and other objects and advantages in view the invention embodies a body having an internally threaded base with an externally threaded head with spaced openings extended through the outer end of the head positioned adjacent the side walls thereof, a baille cap threaded on the head of the body and a lock nut also threaded on the said head.
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description taken in connection with the drawings wherein Figure 1 is an elevational view illustrating a semi-circular baille adjustably mounted on the outer end of the body of a sprinkler head.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section through the sprinkler head and cap taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a plan view of the body of the sprinkler head shown in Figures 1 and 2 with the baille cap removed.
Figure 4 is a view similar to that shown in Figure 1 illustrating a modification wherein the baille cap is replaced by a baille cap having an opening in the center thereof. v
Figure 5 is a vertical longitudinal section through the head shown in Figure 4 being taken on line 5-5 of Figure 4.
Figure 6 is a plan view of the head and body shown in Figures 4 and 5 with the baille cap removed.
Figure 7 is a detail taken on line 1--1 of Figures 5 and 6 illustrating the sloping openings lin the outer end ofthe body head'.
Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts the improved sprinkler head of this invention includes a body I Il, a baille nut I I and a lock nut I2.
The body I0 is provided with a hexagonal base I3 having pipe threads I4 on the inner surface for receiving a Water supply pipe or tube of a stand and at the upper end of the body is a head I5 having a centrally disposed boss I6 with openings I'l and I8 extended through the outer wall I9 and the outer surface oi the head is provided with threads 2D. The inner surface of the head I5 is provided with a bore 2l having a conical surface 22 that extends into the bore I6.
The baille nut I I is provided with a hexagonal wall 23, internally threaded to receive the threads 20 of the head I5 of the body I0 and the outer end of the nut is closed by a web 24 having a centrally disposed opening 25 therethrough and a semi-circular baille 26 with a sloping under surface 21 is carried by the web 24 on the outer end of the baille nut through a base 28. The baffle nut lI may be turned to adjust the position thereof in relation to the end of the body Il) and when the baille nut is in the desired position it is secured in this position by lock nut I2, which is also threaded on the threads 20.
In the design shown in Figures 4-7 inclusive the sprinkler head is formed with a body 30 having a hexagonal base 3I with threads 32 on the inner surface and a head 33 on the outer end is provided with a centrally disposed bore 34, and inclined openings 35 are provided in a web 36 forming the outer end of the head 33. The outer surface ci the head 33 is provided with threads 31 and a baille cap 3B with a centrally disposed opening 39 in a web 4|] on the outer 3 end is threaded on the threads 31 on the outer surface of the head of the body 30. The position of the baffle cap or nut 38 may be adjusted by turning the nut on the threads 31 and the nut is secured in adjusted position by a lock nut 4|.
With the parts arranged as shown in Figures 1 and 2 the water passing through the openings l1 and I8 enters a chamber 42 inside of the bale nut or cap Il and from this chamber the water passes through the opening 25, striking the under surface 21 of the semi-circular bale 26 thereby providing a fan shaped outwardly extended spray. The amount of water sprayed and the size of the spray is controlled by the position of the bafie cap Il on the head I and the baille cap or nut is adjusted and secured in the adjusted position by the lock nut I2.
In the design shown in Figures 4 and 5 water passing through the sloping openings 35 enters a chamber 43 inside of the baiile cap or nutv with a. swirling action and the circulating water passing around the inner surface of the cap passes to the opening 39 and isv sprayed outwardly. The amount of water and also the size of this spray is adjusted by the position of the cap 38 on the head of the body 38 and this cap is secured in adjusted position by a lock nut 4|.
The sprinkler head of either design may be made in different sizes to accommodate different types and sizes and the baiiie nut may be secured on the outer end of the head by any suitable means.
It will be understoodv that other modifications may be made in the design and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What is claimed is:
In a sprinkler head, the combination which comprises a cylindrical body having a web extended across the upper end and said web having a cylindrical centrally positioned boss extended from the4 outer surface, said web also having oppositely positioned openings extended therethrough and said openings positioned between the periphery of the boss and the periphery of the body, said body having a hexagonal base and the inner surface of the lower part of the body and the outer surface of the upper part of the body being provided with threads, a nut having a hexagonal body with a cylindrical cavity therein and the inner surface of said body being threaded to receive the threads of the upper part of said cylindrical body, and a nut having a centrally disposed frustro-conical shaped section extended from the outer end and a centrally positioned opening extended through said outer end, said nut being threaded on the upper end of said cylindrical body and said frustro-conical shaped section of the nut having a cavity in one side providing an overhanging outer end thereby forming a -spray baiile spaced from the outer end of the nut and positioned to extend over said centrally disposed opening through the nut,r and a lock nut threaded on the upper end of the body and positioned to coact with the nut from which the frustro-concal shaped section extends thereby providing means for adjusting the position of the said nut in relation to the end of the cylindrical body.
