A sprinkler head includes a sprinkler body, a nozzle positioned within the sprinkler body, a fixed gear coupled with the sprinkler body, a wobbler cage supported on the sprinkler body, and a water deflector plate coupled with the wobbler cage and disposed downstream of the nozzle. A brake assembly is coupled with the water deflector plate for slowing a rotating and wobbling motion of the wobbler cage and the water deflector plate. The brake assembly includes a shaft extending through the water deflector plate and a brake gear disposed at an end of the shaft, where the brake gear is engageable with the fixed gear. Among other advantages, the design eliminates the use of large fixed strut framework that creates dry shadows in the water pattern. |

A liquid diffuser device for irrigation systems includes a support structure defining a first longitudinal axis with an upper passageway for a liquid jet and a lower tubular body having a bottom wall, a spherical member associated therewith having an outer surface with a predetermined average radius of curvature, a liquid jet deflecting member having an upper plate and a lower stem designed to be introduced into the tubular body and defining a second longitudinal axis. The stem interacts with the outer surface of the spherical member, to allow rotation of the stem relative to the body and nutation of the second axis relative to the first axis. The bottom surface is concave to define with the spherical member a relatively broad and substantially uniform contact surface, to reduce the local specific pressure, thereby decreasing friction, wear and vibrations on the stem and the spherical member during operation. |

A sprinkler head includes a nozzle fixed within the sprinkler body, and a wobbler cage including a water deflector plate downstream of the nozzle mounted for rotating and wobbling motion relative to the sprinkler body. In certain embodiments, a viscous brake is fixed within the sprinkler body and includes a shaft rotatable about the longitudinal axis passing through the nozzle. The shaft is eccentrically coupled to the water deflector plate for slowing the rotating and wobbling motion of the wobbler cage and the water deflector plate. |
