Abstract
In a particular embodiment disclosed in the specification a sprinkler has a sprinkler body with a passage having an orifice which is normally closed by a cap retained in position by a glass bulb thermally responsive element and a deflector spaced from the orifice and supported from the sprinkler body by a pair of arms. The deflector has a circumferential array of tines separated by openings and the openings located in the plane in the frame arms have a substantially teardrop shape with the larger end closer to the sprinkler axis having a width which is 120% to 160% of the width of the adjacent portions of the frame arms.
Description
SPECIFICATION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to sprinkler arrangements and more particularly to fast response residential sprinkler arrangements.
The National Fire Protection Association standards NFPA 13D and 13R for S residential sprinklers specify minimum flow rates of 9 gallons per minute at a pressure of 9 psi for single sprinklers having a maximum spacing of 6 feet from a wall and 10 gallops per minute at a pressure of 11.1 psi for single sprinklers having a maximum distance of 7 feet or 8 feet from a wall. For two or more sprinklers in the same room having 12, 14 or 16 foot spacings, the minimum required flow rate is 8 gallons per minute at a pressure of 7.1 psi. In order to provide the necessary protection, the distribution of water along the adjacent walls and over the floor area beneath the sprinklers should be substantially uniform.
Various sprinkler arrangements and deflector designs have been proposed heretofore to provide desired water flow rate distribution patterns. For example, the Bosio et al. Patent No. 5,687,914 discloses a sprinkler arrangement having a deflector supported from a pair of frame arms which has enlarged tines in the plane of the frame arms with their inner ends bent away from the frame arms and their outer ends inclined slightly toward the frame arms. The Grinnell Model F680 sprinkler has a planar deflector with keyhole-shaped slots distributed around the periphery with the circular part of the keyhole for slots in the plane of the frame arms having a diameter smaller than that of the other slots. Those arrangements, however, do not provide the desired water distribution uniformity for flow rates and pressures of the type mentioned above for residential sprinklers.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a residential sprinkler arrangement which overcomes disadvantages of the prior art.
Another object of the invention is to provide a fast response residential sprinkler arrangement providing highly uniform water distribution at the minimum required flow rates and pressures.
These and other objects of the invention are attained by providing a sprinkler having a sprinkler body with a passage having an orifice which is normally closed by a cap retained in position by a thermally responsive element and a deflector spaced from the orifice and supported from the sprinkler body by a pair of arms and disposed generally in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the passage in which the deflector has a central portion and a peripheral portion with a circumferential array of tines separated by openings including openings located in the plane of the frame arms having a substantially teardrop shape with the larger end closer to the sprinkler axis with the adjacent tine edges tapering inwardly in the direction toward the periphery of the deflector. As used herein, the term "substantially teardrop" or "generally teardrop shaped" means deflector openings which are relatively wide at an inner end closer to the sprinkler axis and relatively narrow at an outer end closer to the deflector periphery and which have sides that taper inwardly from the wide region toward the narrow region.
Preferably the tines adjacent to the teardrop shaped openings have an outer portion which is displaced out of the plane of the deflector in the direction away from the body of the sprinkler with the outer end inclined slightly toward the sprinkler body. In a preferred embodiment, the portions of the deflector on opposite sides of the plane of the frame arms each have six slot-like openings formed between adjacent tines and two openings closest to the plane of the frame arms on each side extend inwardly from the periphery of the deflector to a greater extent than the other slot-like openings while two openings adjacent to the longer openings are shorter than all of the other openings. In order to provide a fast response, the sprinkler preferably has a thermally responsive device in the form of a glass bulb which normally retains the cap in position in the orifice and is designed to release the cap at a relatively low temperature such as about 155°F.

In a preferred embodiment the largest part 46 of the openings 38 has a maximum width of about 0.16 inch (4.1 mm) and the frame arms 20 and 22 have a thickness of about 0.12 inch (3.0 mm) in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the frame arms in the region adjacent to the boss 24. In this embodiment, the deflector 28 has a thickness of about 0 OS inch (1.27 mm) and a diameter of about 1.18 inch (30.0 mm) and the generally teardrop shaped openings 38 extend inwardly about 0.28 inch (7.1 mm) from the periphery with the inwardly tapering sides 48 terminating in a region SO having parallel sides spaced by about 0.07 inch (1.78 mm) for a distance of about 0.055 inch (1.4 mm) from the periphery 52 of the deflector.
In this embodiment each of the slots 40, 42 and 44 has a width of about 0.062 inch (1.57 mm) while the slots 40 have a length of about 0.28 inch (7.1 mm), the slots 42 have a length of about 0.19 inch (4.83 mm), and the slots 44 have a length of about 0.27 inch (6.9 mm). In addition, the tines 30 on opposite sides of each of the generally teardrop shaped openings 38 are formed with end sections 54 which are displaced away from the plane of the deflector 28 by providing two bent portions 56 and 58 as shown in Fig. 4 and S. These end sections 54 are spaced from the plane of the deflector by about 0.05 inch and they are slightly inclined toward the_sprinkler body at a small angle « such as 1° to 3° and preferably about 1.5° as shown in Fig. 4.
