Abstract

Mechanical inversion of direction of a rotating control component of a landscape sprinkler device. Such a device, having a switching member with end stops associated therewith in both pivoting directions the control component, against said stops the switching member stops and is actuated, wherein at least one end stop can be adjusted coaxially with respect to a pivoting axis of the control component. The switching member is configured in an elastically resilient manner on the contact region thereof that is positioned at the height of the end stops such that the contact region retreats back from the adjusting path of the end stop in case of an overload, and devices are provided in order to re-establish the contact region at a defined position in the rotation angle region between the two end slops from the retreated position.
