"Improvements in or relating to Spray Nozzles."
'
We, PHILIP JOHN DOYLE, Engineer, of No. 15 Market Street, Memphis in the
State of Tennessee, and PAUL CARL ALBERT NEUMANN, Manufacturer, of No. 1236
Garden Street, Hoboken, in the State of New Jersey, both in the United States of
America, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention relates more particularly to that class of nozzles which are used
on hose pipe through which a forced stream of water passes though it may be used
for any purposes for which nozzles are employed and it is so adapted and arranged
that it can be made to either spray the water or allow it to pass out in a solid stream:
or to spray and at the same time allow it to pass out in a solid stream and any of
these changes can be readily effected.
This invention consists essentially of a tube nozzle surmounted by a casing to
which is secured an enlarged head in which are formed a number of perforations
which spray the water passing out of them. The opening for the solid stream is
closed by a suitable valve and the perforations are closed by a sliding sleeve or
cover provided with a bell mouth for directing the spray which is moved over and
away from the projections in the enlarged head. This invention further consists
of certain details of construction that will be hereinafter more fully described and
in order that this invention may be fully understood we will proceed to describe
the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: —
Fig 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of the device.
Fig 2 is a vertical section taken on the line 2-2 Fig 1, and
Fig 3 is a horizontal section taken on the line 3-3 Fig. 2.
In the said drawings-1 represents the tube for the solid stream and 2 the casing
for enclosing the tube.
The tube as will be seen is supported concentrically within the casing 2 by
means of the lugs 3 which are carried by the tube 1 and works on the screw-
thread 4 formed on the casing 2. By this construction water is allowed to pass
through the space 5 into the enlarged head 6 which is screwed onto the casing 2
at 7. The head is closed at 8 but has an opening 9 for the passage of the tube 1
and it is provided with the inclined openings 10 which spray the water.
These openings are opened and closed by means of the bell-shaped portion 11
of the sleeve 12 which works on the tube 1 through the medium of the screw-
threads 13 and 14.
15 represents a flaring portion on the bell part 11, and
16 represents pivoted arms for operating the sleeve and to also serve as a means
for holding the nozzle. They may be turned down when not in use.
The rear end of the casing 2 is formed with the enlarged portion 17 and with
the screw-threaded end 18 for attachment to à water supply.
19 represents a valve which is mounted in the enlarged part 17 so as to be
turned therein by the handle 20.
The valve is formed so as to have a passage way 21 and with the thickened

page_text: parts 22 either of which when turned to the proper position closes the entrance to
the tube 1 and thereby shuts off the water supply.
23 represents a removable cap for the enlarged portion of the casing 2 which
when it is desired to take out the valve is taken off and when the valve is out of
the way the tube I can be removed by unscrewing it from its bearing in the casing
and pushing it out at the supply end 18.
The operation of this device will be readily understood from the above descrip-
tion. It will be seen that by turning the valve and sliding back the sleeve a
solid stream and a spray can be directed where desired or either the spray or solid
stream may be used alone as desired and a change from one to the other can be
easily effected.

We, PHILIP JOHN DOYLE, Engineer, of No. 15 Market Street, Memphis, in the
State of Tennessee, and l'AUL CARL ALBERT NEUMANN Manufacturer, of No. 1236
Garden Street, Hoboken, in the State of New Jersey, both in the United States of
America, 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 more particularly to that class of nozzles which are used
on hose pipes through which a forced stream of water passes though it may be used
for any purposes for which nozzles are employed and it is so adapted and arranged
that it can be made to either spray the water or allow it to pass out in a solid strean
or to spray and at the same time allow, it to pass out in a solid stream and any of
these changes can be readily effected.
This invention consists essentially of a tube nozzle surmounted by a casing to
which is secured an enlarged head in which are formed a number of perforations
which spray the water passing out of them. The opening for the solid stream is
closed by a suitable valve and the perforations are closed by a sliding sleeve or
cover provided with a bell mouth for directing the spray which is moved over and
away from the projections in the enlarged head. This invention further consists
of certain details of construction that will be hereinafter more fully described and
in order that this invention may be fully understood we will proceed to describe
same with reference to the drawing left with the Provisional Specification herein,
in which drawings:
Fig 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of the device.
Fig 2 is a vertical section taken on the line 2-2 Fig 1 and
Fig 3 is a horizontal section taken on the line 3-3 Fig 2.
In the said drawings-1 represents the tube for the solid stream and 2 the casing
for enclosing the tube. The tube as will be seen is supported concentrically
within the casing 2. by means of the lugs 3 which are carried by the tube 1 and
works on the screw-thread 4 formed on the casing 2. By this construction water
is allowed to pass through the space 5 into the enlarged head 6 which is screwed
onto the casing 2 at 7. The head is closed at 8 but has an opening 9 for the
passage of the tube 1 and it is provided with the inclined openings 10 which spray
the water. These openings are opened and closed by means of the bell-shaped

page_text: portion 11 of the sleeve 12 which works on the tube 1 through the medium of the
Screw-threads 13 and 14. 15 represents a flaring portion on the bell part.
16 and 16 present pivotted arms for operating the sleeve and to also serve as a
means for holding the nozzle. They may be turned down when not in use.
The rear end of the casing 2 is formed with the enlarged portion 17 and with
the screw-threaded end 18 for attachment to a water supply. 19 represents a valve
which is mounted in the enlarged part 17 so as to be turned therein by the
handle 20. The valve is formed so as to have a passage way 21 and with the
thickened parts 22 either of which when turned to the proper position closes
the entrance to the tube I and thereby shuts off the water supply.
23 represents a removable cap for the enlarged portion of the casing 2 which
when it is desired to take out the valve is taken off and when the valve is out of
the way the tube 1 can be removed by unscrewing it from its bearing in the casing
and pushing it out at the supply end 18.
The operation of this device will be readily understood from the above descrip-
tion. It will be seen that by turning the valve and sliding back the sleeve a
solid stream and a spray can be directed where desired or either the spray or solid
stream may be used alone as desired, and a change from one to the other can be
easily effected.
Having thus described and ascertained the nature of our said invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is:-
-
1. In a nozzle of substantially the character specified the combination of a tube
a casing for said tube having a head provided with a series of inclined perforations
and a central opening for the passage of the tube, a valve for said tube and a
sliding sleeve for opening and closing the perforations substantially as shown and
described.
2. In a nozzle the combination of a tube, a casing enclosing said tube and
provided with a central opening for the passage of a tube and a head having per-
forations, a valve for said tube and a sliding sleeve having a bell mouth for said
perforations substantially as shown and described.
3. In a nozzle the combination of a tube a casing for said tube a head secured
to said casing and provided with a central opening for the passage of the tube and
a series of inclined perforations a valve for said tube a sliding sleeve for said
perforations and suitable means for adjustably moving said cover consisting of a
threaded portion on the cover engaging a threaded portion on the tube substan-
tially as shown and described..
4. A nozzle comprising a tube for a solid stream of water a casing enclosing
