(54) Oscillating sprinklers


(57) An oscillating sprinkler has support structure (1, 2, 3, 4) supporting an impeller assembly (5) and a generally cylindrical spray bar assembly (6). An impeller (8) of the assembly (5) applies an oscillating drive motion to the spray bar assembly (6). The assembly (6) is manually rotatable between two alternative positions in the first of which a first set (32) of twenty nozzles is in the operation upwardly facing position and in the second of which a second set (33) of two nozzles is in the operative upwardly facing position. A further adjustment is provided by an adjusting ring (36) rotation of which isolates from the water supply a progressive number of nozzles so as to alter the width of spray produced.
