Claims14
A universal head for fixing a nozzle to a fluid distribution duct;
- comprising:
- a cap-like sleeve shaped so as to be connectable with an outlet of the fluid distribution duct;
- a nozzle insertion slot formed at a top part of said sleeve;
- and
- locking means formed proximate to said slot for locking said nozzle in the slot, said locking means comprising at least one pair of substantially longitudinal and diametrically opposite elastic wings that are radially expandable and arranged so as to allow insertion of said nozzle therebetween, said wings comprising each a lower end which is rigidly coupled to said cap-like sleeve proximate to said slot, and a free upper end which is shaped so as to wrap around and lock said nozzle in said slot.

A universal head for fixing a nozzle to a fluid distribution duct, comprising:
- a cap-like sleeve having a top part and a bottom part, said sleeve being shaped so as to allow accommodation therein of the nozzle upon insertion the nozzle through said bottom part and to be connectable at said bottom part thereof with an outlet of the fluid distribution duct;
- a nozzle insertion slot fanned at a top part of said sleeve;
- and
- locking means formed proximate to said slot for locking said nozzle in the slot, said locking means comprising at least one pair of substantially longitudinal and diametrically opposite elastic wings that are radially expandable and arranged so as to allow, upon accommodation of the nozzle inside said sleeve, insertion of the nozzle therebetween, said wings comprising each a lower end which is rigidly coupled to said sleeve proximate to said slot, and a free upper end which is shaped so as to wrap around and lock said nozzle in said slot.
