Abstract:
1. A liquid spray nozzle assembly for an outlet pipe of an air blower, the nozzle assembly comprising: an outer annular member adapted to be secured to the outlet pipe; an inner member radially spaced from and secured to said outer annular member by a plurality of support members to define air flow passages, the inner member having a central opening and a lower surface with vanes extending therefrom; and a supply pipe extending into said central opening whereby air flowing through said central opening will act to shear liquid exiting the supply pipe against an edge of the central opening to break up the liquid into droplets that will be carried along in a dispersed pattern by the air flowing between the outer annular member and the inner member; wherein at least one of the support members includes a ledge positioned to receive a clip defined by the supply pipe such that the supply pipe is attached to said at least one support member.
