Abstract
A large drop sprinkler head is disclosed including a nozzle, a pair of arms extending outwardly and upwardly from the nozzle and joined at their ends in coaxial alignment with the nozzle. A concave, plate distributor is supported by the arms coaxially with the nozzle. The plate distributor includes a central, cup-like portion and an outwardly, downwardly directed, annular plate. A large drop deflector is disposed within the cup-like portion of the plate distributor. The large drop deflector includes a plurality of equally spaced tines or fingers which extend downwardly towards the nozzle. The plate distributor defines a shoulder and the tines extend generally perpendicular to the plate distributor and beyond the plane of the shoulder.
