Flat plate concealed horizontal sidewall sprinkler

摘要

A sprinkler assembly having a base including a passageway, an inlet opening communicating with a pressurized fluid source, an outlet opening for outputting a flow of pressurized fluid along a flow path, and an axis extending through the outlet opening. The sprinkler assembly further comprises a top engaging the base and a deployment assembly supporting a flow shaper assembly. The deployment assembly is movably mounted to either the base or the top and is movable horizontally between a retracted position and an extended position for dispersing the pressurized fluid from the outlet opening. A heat responsive trigger is mounted to releasably retain the deployment assembly within the retracted position.

1. A sprinkler assembly comprising:
a base including a passageway, an inlet opening communicating with a pressurized fluid source, an outlet opening for outputting a flow of pressurized fluid along a flow path, and an axis extending through said outlet opening; a top extending from said base having a retaining ridge, said top and said base defining a cavity; a deployment assembly supporting a flow shaper assembly, said deployment assembly movably mounted to at least one of the base and the top and being movable horizontally between a retracted position and an extended position for dispersing the pressurized fluid from said outlet opening; and a heat responsive trigger mounted to releasably retain said deployment assembly within said retracted position, said flow shaper assembly having at least one contact surface for shaping the flow of pressurized fluid from said outlet opening when said deployment assembly is in said extended position, wherein said flow shaper assembly includes an opening aligned along said axis extending through said outlet opening, said opening of said flow shaper assembly at least generally aligned along said flow path extending from said outlet opening along said axis, wherein fluid flows unimpeded through said opening of said flow shaper assembly, said flow shaper assembly having a flow shaper provided at said opening of said flow shaper assembly extending radially inward from a perimeter of said opening toward said axis.
