Abstract:
A flow nozzle connectable to a fluid source, the flow nozzle comprising:an inner tubular body having an output end and a front surface; an outer tubular sleeve overlapping said inner tubular body and axially mounted on said inner tubular body for continuous relative rotational adjustment around an axis extending lengthwise of said inner tubular body and outer tubular sleeve wherein the outer tubular sleeve has a plurality of grooves disposed on the outer surface of said outer tubular sleeve, said grooves aligned parallel to the axis of said outer tubular sleeve; an outer discharge orifice disposed on one end of the outer tubular sleeve adjacent to the output end of the inner tubular body; a circular discharge orifice through the output end, wherein the circular discharge orifice and the outer discharge orifice overlap over all rotational adjustments; and a circular flow cavity on the front surface of the output end providing fluid communication between the circular discharge orifice and the outer discharge orifice, wherein a constant distance is maintained between the outer tubular sleeve and the front surface of the inner tubular body along the axis of rotation when the outer tubular sleeve is rotationally adjusted.
