Abstract:

The present invention relates generally to an improved rotating lawn sprinkler capable of precisely watering lawns with straight edges without over-spraying onto sidewalks and fences. More specifically, the invention relates to a rotating sprinkler with a plane of rotation is adjustable upwards or downwards from horizontal that will water in a triangle pattern when the plane of rotation is angled downwards from horizontal or a diamond pattern when the plane of rotation is angled upwards from horizontal. These watering patterns are possible because the axis of rotation is adjustable, which adjusts the plane of rotation. By adjusting the plane of rotation, the nozzle trajectory is being continually increased or decreased as the sprinkler rotates, which causes the watering pattern to form patterns with straight lines rather than traditional watering arcs.
