Irrigation nozzles

An irrigation nozzle comprising:

• a nozzle body;
• said nozzle body forming a first body portion;
• said first body portion generally cylindrical in shape forming a nozzle cavity and at least one non-deflecting nozzle passage;
• each said non-deflecting nozzle passage extending from said nozzle cavity to an exterior surface of said first body portion;
• the spatial orientation, curvature, and hydraulic diameter of each said non-deflecting nozzle passage configured such that water flowing from said nozzle cavity through each said non-deflecting nozzle passage flows radially outward from said first body portion on a desired trajectory;
• said nozzle body constructed as a unitary object.

An irrigation nozzle comprising:

• a nozzle body;
• said nozzle body forming a first body portion;
• said first body portion generally cylindrical in shape forming a nozzle cavity and at least one deflecting nozzle passage;
• each said deflecting nozzle passage extending from said nozzle cavity to an exterior surface of said first body portion;
• each said deflecting nozzle passage includes a deflector surface located adjacent to said exterior surface of said first body portion;
• the size and spatial orientation of each said deflector surface and the curvature and hydraulic diameter of each said deflecting nozzle passage upstream from each said deflector surface are configured such that water flowing from said nozzle cavity through each said deflecting nozzle passage impinges upon each said deflector surface and spreads tangentially to a desired magnitude while flowing radially outward from said first body portion on a desired trajectory;
• said first body portion further forming at least one non-deflecting nozzle passage;
• each said non-deflecting nozzle passage extending from said nozzle cavity to said exterior surface of said first body portion;
• the spatial orientation, curvature, and hydraulic diameter of each said non-deflecting nozzle passage configured such that water flowing from said nozzle cavity through each said non-deflecting nozzle passage flows radially outward from said first body portion on a desired trajectory;
• said deflecting nozzle passages and said non-deflecting nozzle passages configured such that irrigation within a desired irrigation pattern occurs and irrigation outside said desired irrigation pattern is minimized during operation of said irrigation nozzle;
• said nozzle body constructed as a unitary object using an additive manufacturing process.
