Abstract
A sprinkler comprises a nozzle and a distributor head mounted for both rotary and lateral movements with respect to the nozzle. The distributor head has two passageways formed such that when it receives the water jet in one or the other passageway, it directs the jet outwardly of the distributor head with the water applying a force tending to rotate the distributor head in one or the other direction. The sprinkler further includes an abutment, a first stop engageable by the abutment when the distributor head is rotated in the one direction by the flow of water through the first passageway to move the distributor head laterally of the nozzle to align its second passageway with the nozzle, and a second stop engageable by the abutment when the distributor head is rotated in the opposite direction by the flow of water through the second passageway to move the distributor head laterally of the nozzle to align its first passageway with the nozzle.
