Combined nozzle set and lift tool for a pop-up sprinkler |
摘要 |
A combined nozzle set and lift tool is provided for use with a pop-up sprinkler, wherein the lift tool comprises a tool body in the form of an injection molded runner formed integrally with a plurality of individual nozzle inserts. An elongated tool stem projects outwardly from the tool body and has protruding tabs at a tip end thereof for reception into an undercut recess formed in a pop-up sprinkler spray head to permit lifting of the spray head from a normal position spring-retracted substantially within a sprinkler housing or case, to an elevated position for facilitated access to the spray head. A selected one of the plurality of nozzle inserts can be separated from the lift tool as by snap-off detachment, whereupon the selected nozzle insert can be mounted on the elevated spray head to individually tailor the characteristics of a water stream projected therefrom during normal sprinkler operation. The lift tool further includes latch teeth for snap-fit engagement with the spray head to permit storage of the combined nozzle set and lift tool on the spray head, to provide a convenient commercial unit which can be transported to an installation site with little or no risk of components becoming lost or misplaced.
