tank 61. A plurality
of round hole 64 is formed to a peripheral of the buffer tank 61 between the
bottom tube hole 63.
The plurality of round hole 64 communicates with the bottom tube hole 63. An
independent
chamber is formed between the buffer tank 61 and the bottom of the lower cover
40, the round
washer 45 will seal the round hole 62 of the buffer tank 61.
Therefore, while water supplied from the round hole 64 of bottom tube 60 being
sprinkled out of
the central water path 82 of the driving shaft 80 through the outer ring water
path 25 of the lower
tube 20, excess water pressure can push the round washer 45 so that excess
pressurized water
will flow into the buffer tank 61 so as to be drained through the lower
independent chamber 500.
While the water pressure is back to normal, the round washer 45 pushed by the
compress spring

44 will seal the round hole 62 again so as to automatically adjust water
pressure.
Moreover, the transmission gear of the present invention shown in FIG. 23 is
arranged by two
sets of gear engaging to each other. Each gear set has a plurality of double-
layer gear serially link
by an axle, and the two axles are received by the first upper and lower axial
holes and the second
upper and lower axial holes respectively.
The embodiment of the water passage for embedded rotary sprinkler according to
the present
invention is shown in FIGS. 24 and 25.
The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same may
be varied in many
ways. The scope of the claims should not be limited by the preferred
