Abstract
A water delivery device that may be used in a water display is described. The device includes an orifice or outlet through which water is shot out. The shape and configuration of the water device may be varied to dynamically adjust the configuration of the water shot out from the device. For example, the water delivery device may shoot out water in the shape of a fan, and the width of the fan may be varied.
Claims15
A water delivery device that emits a stream of water that may be varied in appearance, comprising:
- opposing flanges that each include an inner surface and an end wall, that are assembled and remain assembled together through an overlapping engagement of the inner surfaces, that when assembled form a nozzle having an orifice defined by the inner surfaces and the end walls through which the stream of water is emitted, and that are rotatable relative to each other to move the end walls toward each other or away from each other to thereby vary the size of the orifice;
- to vary the appearance of the stream of water;
- and
- wherein the opposing flanges each include a mounting flange having a hole that accommodates a pipe which provides water.
A water delivery device that emits a stream of water that may be varied in appearance, comprising:
- a pair of opposing flanges that each are mounted to a water source, that each include a water inlet to receive water from the water source, that each include an arm and a slot, that are assembled to form a nozzle having an orifice through which the stream of water is emitted and wherein the opposing flanges are assembled by the arm of each flange fitting into the slot of the opposing flange, and that are rotatable relative to each other, by the arm of each flange sliding within the slot of the opposing flange;
- wherein rotation of the flanges relative to each other varies the size of the orifice to vary the appearance of the stream of water.
