Abstract
An improved suction nozzle is comprised of a narrow constant height slot passageway open at one end and communicating at the other end with an expansion chamber which, in turn, is connected to a cylindrical manifold. An orifice in the end of the manifold assists in the development of parallel fluid flow along the manifold axis.
