Abstract

See full text

A sprinkler head is disclosed having a fluid distribution cage configured to nutate between an upper sprinkler body plate and a lower sprinkler body plate. The sprinkler head has a projection to cause the fluid distribution cage to hang at a non-horizontal angle prior to initiation of nutation. The projection is configured to move or rotate away from the upper cage plate of the fluid distribution cage during nutation initiation. Preferably the projection is positioned on a gimbal ring that rotates in response to force asserted on the projection by the upper cage plate. Preferably the gimbal ring has two projections positioned on opposing sides of the axis of rotation of the gimbal ring.
