PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Combination Spray and Jet Nozzle for Garden
Syringes, Hose Pipes, Pumps, and the like.
We, HERBERT STONE, of Bracebridge Street Works, Bracebridge Street, in
the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer, and WALTER WHITE, of 9, Wilson Road,
Birchfields, near the City of Birmingham, Works Manager, do hereby declaro
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved combined spray and jet nozzle
which may be readily applied to garden syringes, hose pipes, pumps, and other
like articles.
Broadly it consists of a double chambered body, with one or more inlets into
first chamber, two inlets from first chamber into second chamber with one final
discharge outlet from the second chamber. These inlets and outlets are so
arranged, that one inlet to the first chamber, and one from the first to the second
chamber, and the final outlet are all in a line, so that a direct flow may pass
through in the form of a jet or uninterrupted stream; while again, within the
said first chamber is loosely carried a disc or cover plate, which, when the
aforesaid stream jet is being used-covers the second (lower) outlet from first
chamber, but when the device is turned half way around, the said plate falls and
now covers the straight through outlet in first chamber, leaving the second outlet
open, which said outlet communicates with a circular path in second chamber,
which empties itself into a circularwise chamber surrounding the discharge outlet
in such a manner as to give a rapid turbinating notion to the liquid previous
to and during its discharge, by which a fine spray discharge is effected.
Thus by a half turn movement, the cover plate or disc falling to the bottom
of its chamber, covers one or the other of the outlets to the second chamber,
and hence automatically gives either of the kinds of discharge desired.
One inlet into first chamber may suffice, but with a second-when placed oppo-
site to the second outlet in first chamber-the liquid in its rapid flow tends to
press upon the cover plate to seal it against the desired closed outlet.
If desired it may be arranged that the coverplate may be made to occupy a
mid position so as to leave both inlets to the second chamber open, so that the
flow may pass simultaneously through both and thereby produce a combination
of jet and spray, which may be termed a rough spray.
The form of coverplate may also be modified as for instance it may be of the
form of a ball with a suitable seating in the outlets.
In some cases the beforenamed first chamber may be dispensed with, inasmuch
as equivalent means may be used for carrying the cover plate &c.
Such a device it will be readily seen may be easily applied as a terminal to
hose pipes, pumps, syringes, and the like.

Syringes, Hose Pipes, Pumps, and the like.
We, HERBERT STONE, of Bracebridge Street Works, Bracebridge, Street, in
the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer, and WALTER WHITE, of 9, Wilson Road,
Birchfields, near the City of Birmingham, Works Manager, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a new or improved combined spray and jet nozzle
which may be readily applied to garden syringes, hose pipes, pumps, and other
like articles.

Broadly it consists of a double chambered body, with one or more inlets into
first chamber, two inlets from first chamber into second chamber with one final 1
discharge outlet from the second chamber. These inlets and outlets are so
arranged, that one inlet to the first chamber, and one from the first to the second
chamber, and the final outlet are all in a line, so that a direct flow may puss
through in the form of a jet or uninterrupted stream; while again, within the
said first chamber is loosely carried a disc or cover plate, which, when the 1
aforesaid stream jet, is being used-covers the second (lower) outlet from first
chamber, but when the device is turned half way around, the said plate falls and
now covers the straight through outlet in first chamber, leaving the second outlet
open, which said outlet communicates with a circular path in second chamber,
which empties itself into a circularwise chamber surrounding the discharge outlet
in such a manner as to give a rapid turbinating motion to the liquid previous
to and during its discharge, by which a fine spray discharge is effected.
Thus by a half turn movement, the cover plate or disc falling to the bottom
of its chamber, covers one or the other of the outlets to the second chamber,
and hence automatically gives either of the kinds of discharge desired.
One inlet into first chamber may suffice, but with a second-when placed oppo-
site to the second outlet in first chamber-the liquid in its rapid flow tends to
press upon the cover plate to seal it against the desired closed outlet.
"
If desired it may be arranged that the coverplate may be made to occupy a
mid position so as to leave both inlets to the second chamber open, so that the
flow may pass simultaneously through both and thereby produce a combination
of jet and spray, which may be termed a rough spray.
The form of coverplate may also be modified as for instance it may be of the
form of a ball with a suitable seating in the outlets.
In some cases the beforenamed first chamber may be dispensed with, inasmuch
as equivalent means may be used for carrying the cover plate &c.
In order to more clearly explain the nature of this our said invention, and
the manner in which the same may be performed, we have appended hereunto
an illustrative sheet of drawings, upon which are figures and numbers of refer-
ence, similar numbers referring throughout to the same thing or part, and in
which:
Fig. 1, is a side sectional elevation of this invention shown in the required
position for delivering a jet or straight stream.
Fig. 2, is a sectional elevation on line A-B, Fig. 3 a similar' sectional view
on line CD and Fig 4, another similar view on line E-F, all of Fig. 1.
Fig. 5, is an end view of the chamber cover plate.
Fig. 6, shows the invention when moved into the position for delivering a
spray.

on line I J both of Fig. 6.
Fig. 9, is a sectional view showing a modified form of carrying the moveable
disc and thus practically dispensing with the first chamber.
Fig. 10, is a sectional view on line K-L, and Fig. 11, a similar view on
line MN, both of Fig. 9.
Fig. 12, shows a slight modification in the shape of moveable cover plate.
Fig. 13, shows the application of the invention to a hose pipe tap or the like.
Fig. 14, is a side sectional view, and Fig. 15, an end view illustrating a
modification of this our invention as adapted to suit a ball valve device.
Referring to Figs. 1 to 8 inclusive: 16, represents the hose pipe, or pump
barrel, or other water conduit to which this our invention may be attached.
17, is a chamber which is covered by the plate 18, in which latter is made the
flow holes 19. 20, is a second chamber which is divided off from the first chamber
by the plate 21. In this plate are outlet holes 22 and 23. The chamber 20, is
formed with a circular part 24, which shall lie in line with the hole 22 and
the final outlet 25, and one of the holes 19, in the plate 18, is also arranged
to be in the same line, so that there may be a clear through passage. In the
chamber 20, however, we form a circular path 26, whose one end 27, lies in line
with the outlet hole 23. This circular path is carried into the circularwise
chamber 24. In the first chamber 17, is placed a disc 28, which is free to move
about as the fitting is turned about, the said chamber being preferably shaped
with four partly formed divisions, so that as the fitting is turned about, the
disc shall lodge in one of such divisions, as seen in Figs. 1, 4, 6 and 8.
It will now therefore be seen on reference to Figs. 1, to 5, that the disc 28, lies
below and clear of the opening 22, and consequently the water will pass straight
through and out at 25, in the form of a jet. By turning the fitting through
half a turn however as seen in Figs. 6, 7 and 8, the disc 28, now covers the
hole 22, but leaves uncovered the hole 23, hence the water flows into the circular
path 27, and follows the direction shown by arrows in Fig. 7, into circular
chamber 24, by which a rapid turbinating motion is imparted previous to and
during its discharge, thereby producing a fine spray. It will be readily under-
stood that if the fitting be turned around one fourth of a revolution instead of
one half, the disc 28 will occupy a mid position, and so leave both of the holes 22
and 23 open, so that the flow will pass through both at the same time. This
will give a combination of the fine spray with the straight jet, which may be
termed a broken or rough spray.
It will also be noticed that in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 4, and 6 & 8,
that the water pressure behind the disc 28 assists in sealing the covered outlet,
which more perfectly ensures the desired result from the uncovered outlet.
In Figs. 9 and 11, it will be observed that the first chamber is dispensed with
by loosely carrying the movable disc 28, upon a pin 29; the said disc 28",
having sufficient play in its hole 30, to permit of its movement to cover either
one of the holes 22 or 23, or to occupy a mid position, leaving both open. In
Fig. 12, the disc 28b is further shown to be carried in a pendulous manner upon
pin 29, with the same result as before stated in reference to the holes 22 and 23.
It will be also readily seen that the disc 28, may be substituted by a ball or
the like, so long as it is made capable of movement from one hole to another and
to occupy a mid position if desired.
One form of this may be seen in Figs. 14 and 15, in which arrow 31 shows
the straight through course for the jet, while the turbinating chamber 26, gives
the necessary spiral motion to the water as indicated by the arrow 32. Midway
between these two positions the ball may lie in the hollow 17, so that the water
may as before described simultaneously flow through the straight jet and the
spray.
Such a device it will be readily seen may be easily applied as a terminal to
hose pipes, pumps, syringes, and the like, as illustrated for example in Fig. 13.
