1. A transverse axis water sprinkler for a lawn or garden area, the sprinkler comprising:

  • a spray arm that is generally straight and extends along a longitudinal axis between ends thereof, the spray arm having a longitudinal water flow passage extending generally along said axis and enclosed by a peripheral wall and at least one end cap;

    a plurality of spray nozzles spaced apart along the peripheral wall of the spray arm generally from one said end to the other, each said nozzle communicating from the flow passage through the peripheral wall to an exterior thereof and in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the spray arm;

    a connection for pressurized water to the water flow passage of the spray arm; and

    a movement mechanism which causes the spray arm to oscillate about a horizontal axis extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the spray arm,whereby pressurized water flowing through the water inlet will be distributed generally evenly upon a selected length and width of said lawn or garden area by oscillation of the spray nozzles on the spray arm about the horizontal axis.
