Abstract
A high pressure spray nozzle is provided having a central fluid stream that can be converted to a fan shaped fluid stream by rotation of a housing cap. Rotation of a second portion of the housing produces a cone shaped fluid stream which is coaxial with the central fluid stream.
Claims1
A high pressure nozzle for varying the flow pattern of a fluid emanating therefrom, wherein said nozzle has a nozzle opening through which fluid flows comprising:
- a body member having a passage for fluid to flow therethrough;
- a resilient member located in said body member, said resilient member having surface means comprising opposed, substantially flat surfaces which are deformable to form an open path that smoothly converges in the direction away from said nozzle opening for shaping the flow pattern of fluid through said nozzle wherein the width of said surface means is wider than the width of said nozzle opening and means for forcing said resilient member into the fluid flowing through said nozzle so that a fluid stream emanating from said passage can be formed into a wider stream.
