  • Publication number: 20020043572
    Abstract: An actuation mechanism is used with a sprinkler to allow water to flow out of the sprinkler or to shut off the flow of water. Rather than a conventional trigger, the activation mechanism uses a pushbutton assembly that can be toggled open or closed. This allows the person directing the sprinkler to use the sprinkler without undue stress on the hand and fingers from having to squeeze the conventional trigger. The actuation mechanism is comprised of a pushbutton, a guiding member, a limiting sleeve and a shell. The pushbutton, guiding member and limiting sleeve are housed in the shell. The pushbutton is attached to the guide member that selectively slides in the limiting sleeve. A connecting rod attached to the guiding member interfaces with the valve in the sprinkler and actuates the flow of water.

  • Patent number: 6352212
    Abstract: A sprinkler has a pushbutton assembly and a piston assembly. The sprinkler has a chamber defined to receive therein the piston assembly and the pushbutton assembly. The piston assembly is controlled by the pushbutton assembly to activate the communication between the chamber in the handle of the sprinkler and the inlet of the handle. The pushbutton assembly has a pushbutton movably received in the handle to control an engagement of a piston of the piston assembly to the chamber so as that the the water flow out of the outlet is controlled by the movement of the pushbutton.

  • Patent number: 5806770
    Abstract: A pistol-grip nozzle is provided that includes an inverted "L" shaped metal hollow handle formed of a transverse section and a longitudinal section. The transverse section defines a tenon at a bottom portion thereof. A trigger is disposed at an inside juncture of the transverse section and the longitudinal section and adapted for receiving a control device. The control device has a cambered top surface to correspond to the bottom of the transverse section, a groove defined at a center of the cambered surface along a length thereof in order to slidably engage with the tenon of the hollow handle, a series of recesses defined at a bottom thereof to engagingly receive the upward lip of the trigger. Furthermore, a rose is threadedly mounted to a free end of the transverse section of the hollow handle. The rose provides various water patterns under various water pressures supplied by the trigger.
