Claims12
A spray nozzle, comprising:
- a nozzle adapter having an axial bore therethrough;
- and
- a nozzle tip having a cylindrical mounting section with a plurality of parallel splines disposed about an outer peripheral surface thereof, said nozzle tip being press-fit into said nozzle adapter so that said splines are in frictional engagement with a circumferential inner surface of said axial bore through said nozzle adapter to secure said nozzle tip to said nozzle adapter, said splines deforming said circumferential inner surface of said axial bore to create a seal between said nozzle tip and said nozzle adapter.
A spray nozzle tip, comprising:
- a nozzle tip having a cylindrical mounting section with a plurality of splines disposed about an outer peripheral surface thereof adapted for sealing engagement with a nozzle adapter, said cylindrical mounting section terminating in semi-spherical dome shaped end section at one end and in a cylindrical base section at the opposite end, wherein said base section has a larger outer diameter than an outer diameter of said cylindrical mounting section.
