FIRE PROTECTION SPRINKLER ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024717 titled 'FIRE PROTECTION SPRINKLER ASSEMBLY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a sprinkler assembly that includes a receiving member, a fluid tight seal, and a sprinkler frame. The receiving member has an inner surface defining an internal passageway and a central axis of the assembly. The sprinkler frame has an internal surface that defines a fluid passage. The assembly includes positioning elements that allow for axial and rotational adjustment between the frame and receiving member. The engaged positioning elements facilitate the formation of a fluid tight seal between the frame and receiving member.
- The sprinkler assembly includes a receiving member, fluid tight seal, and sprinkler frame.
- The receiving member has an inner surface defining an internal passageway and a central axis.
- The sprinkler frame has an internal surface that defines a fluid passage.
- Positioning elements allow for axial and rotational adjustment between the frame and receiving member.
- The engaged positioning elements facilitate the formation of a fluid tight seal between the frame and receiving member.
Potential Applications:
- Residential and commercial irrigation systems
- Agricultural irrigation systems
- Fire sprinkler systems
Problems Solved:
- Ensures a fluid tight seal between the sprinkler frame and receiving member
- Allows for axial and rotational adjustment for proper sprinkler positioning
Benefits:
- Improved efficiency and effectiveness of sprinkler systems

Original Abstract Submitted
a sprinkler assembly () having a receiving member (), a fluid tight seal () and a sprinkler frame (). the receiving member includes an inner surface () defining an internal passageway and a central axis (a-a) of the assembly. the frame of the sprinkler includes an internal surface () that defines a fluid passage. the sprinkler assembly includes cooperating positioning elements () which engage and couple the sprinkler frame to the receiving member for at least one of an axial and rotational adjustment between the frame and receiving member. the engaged positioning elements facilitate formation or location of the fluid tight seal between the sprinkler frame and receiving member, the seal being spaced from the engaged positioning elements. in one aspect of the assembly, the sprinkler frame and receiving member are made of plastic material (e.g. cpvc).
