<p>A sprinkling device for liquids comprises an emitter tube 18 of resiliently flexible material having a mounted inlet end 24.1 and an unmounted outlet end 24.2, the arrangement being such that, with liquid flowing at a sufficient rate through the emitter tube, hydraulic forces exerted by the flowing liquid on the tube cause the outlet end continuously to move about. The emitter tube is mounted on a fitting 16 which having a flow passage 34 therethrough which leads into the emitter tube, the flow passge having, at its inlet end, a pair of grooves 36 which lead tangentially into the flow passage. These tangentially arranged grooves impart a swirling motion to water entering the emitter tube. A pop-up sprinkler is also disclosed in which the emitter tube is mounted on a plunger which is displaceable in a barrel, the emitter tube protruding through an opening at the end of the barrel.</p> |
