Abstract:
A solid cone jet nozzle comprising:(i) a housing having a cylindrical bore with a central longitudinal axis which is open at its opposite terminal portions which are internally threaded, said respective internally threaded terminal portions having different internal diameters;(ii) liquid inlet means integral with said housing having a cylindrical bore with a central longitudinal axis perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis of the cylindrical bore of said housing said liquid inlet means being open and internally threaded at its end which is distal from said housing and being closed at its end which is proximal said housing except for a passage which is displaced from the central longitudinal axis of the bore of said inlet means and which extends into the cylindrical bore of said housing substantially tangential to said cylindrical bore of said housing, said liquid inlet means being provided with an external notch at its open end which is distal from said housing and a washer seated at the open end of said liquid inlet means surrounding the cylindrical bore of said liquid inlet means said washer having an internal peripheral key which extends parallel to the central longitudinal axis of said cylindrical bore for engaging said external notch;(iii) a first cap means having an outer terminal portion in the form of a flaring nozzle with an opening in line with the central longitudinal axis of the cylindrical bore of said housing and an oppositely extending externally threaded extension port to removeably threadably engage only one of said internally threaded terminal portions of said housing; and(iv) a second cap means having a closed outer terminal portion and an oppositely extending threaded extension which terminates in a surface having discrete raised elevation which is transverse to the central longitudinal axis of the cylindrical bore of said housing, said solid threaded extension being removeably threadably engageable only with the other of said internally threaded terminal portions of said housing.
