Abstract: Mechanisms and method of flow control for use in an oscillating sprinkler that varies the water stream height to lessen the adverse effects of wind on the water streams. The flow control mechanism varies water flow during rotation of a spray tube of a sprinkler to control the height of water streams in predetermined portions of the rotation.

Abstract: An intermittent fluid flow controller including a main body that houses an inlet in controlled fluid communication with an outlet, a mechanical timing mechanism including a rotatable member that rotates during an operation of the timing mechanism, and a first valve operated by the rotatable member. The first valve is disposed in the main body such that a rotational movement of the rotatable member actuates the first valve to intermittently permit and restrict a fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet over a pre-selected period of time determined by the operation of the timing mechanism.
