Abstract: The holder for a drinks container includes a holding arm (16) movable from an initial position into a holding position and formed to hold the drinks container around a circumference of the drinks container, a cover (14) movable from a closed position into an open position and a locking device (32,38) for locking the holding arm (16) in the initial position and for unlocking the holding arm (16) when the cover is moved into the open position. In a preferred embodiment the locking device (32,38) includes a slider member (32), a device for displacing the slider member (32) from a first position to a second position when the cover (14) is opened and a detent lug (38) provided on the holding arm (16) that locks the slider member (32) when the holding arm (16) is in the initial position and that unlocks the slider member (32) when the slider member (32) is displaced from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: A fan-jet sprinkler of the type which has an oscillating horizontal nozzle cylinder driven by a turbine wheel and a translation drive, the sprinkler having a rotational connection between its stand and housing, or between the nozzle cylinder and an oscillating drive sleeve, so that the oscillation range can be shifted by adjusting the angular relationship between the oscillation range and the sprinkler stand independently of the drive transmission.

Abstract: A drive mechanism for a swiveling fan-jet sprinkler comprising a water-driven turbine, a reduction gear drive and, on the final drive shaft of the latter, a rotary cam member cooperating with a cam follower on the nozzle cylinder. The rotary cam member is preferably a swash plate with an elliptical torus-like rim, engaged by a fork-shaped cam follower. The mechanism may include adjustability of the swivel angle of the nozzle cylinder through a swash plate with an adjustable inclination on the final drive shaft.

Abstract: A swivelling fan-jet sprinkler which is convertible from a coarse sprinkling mode in which it covers a relatively large irrigation area to a gentler spraying mode in which it covers a smaller area, the conversion being achieved by means of a removable spinner cage which surrounds the nozzle cylinder of the sprinkler. The spinner cage has a captive snap ring cooperating with a groove in the nozzle cylinder to produce a detent action for attachment and removal of the spinner cage. The latter is driven by the water jets which are disturbed in the process.
