Claim Text:
1. A spray nozzle comprising: a frustoconical body defining a wall, a proximal portion, a distal portion, a longitudinal axis, and a face at the distal portion that is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, the body wall at the distal portion being thicker than the body wall at the proximal portion; a first plurality of air conduits defined by the body wall of the distal portion and arranged about the longitudinal axis, each of the first plurality of air conduits having an inlet and an outlet; a second plurality of air conduits defined by the body wall of the distal portion, each of the second plurality of air conduits having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet and the outlet of each of the second plurality of air conduits being equidistant from the longitudinal axis, the inlet of each of the second plurality of air conduits being circumferentially offset from a corresponding outlet of the second plurality of air conduits; a liquid conduit defined by the body wall of the distal portion and having an inlet and an outlet, the outlets of the first plurality of air conduits and each of the second plurality of air conduits being radially disposed about the outlet of the liquid conduit on the face of the body, wherein the liquid conduit further defines a bend, the liquid conduit being substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis between the liquid conduit inlet and the elbow bend, and the liquid conduit being substantially coaxial with the longitudinal axis between the elbow bend and the liquid conduit outlet; and wherein each inlet of the first plurality of air conduits being radially offset from a corresponding outlet of the first plurality of air conduits, the outlets of the first plurality of air conduits defining a first circumference about the outlet of the liquid conduit and the outlets of the second plurality of air conduits defining a second circumference about the outlet of the liquid conduit, the first circumference being less than the second circumference, each of the first plurality of air conduit outlets and each of the second plurality of second air conduit outlets are positioned in a common plane.
