Improvements in connection with the Inside of the Nozzle of the
Garden Syringe.
WILLIAM HICKIN, of the Firm of Thomas Hickin & Son, 83, Buckingham Street,
Birmingham, Brassfounders, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
The object of my improvements in connection with the inside of the nozzle, of
the garden syringe, is to provide a wide, & powerful spray spreader, by means of
a loose plug, working within the nozzle & its circumference serrated obliquely.
In carrying out my invention, I construct & use any desired pattern syringe, used
either in the hand, or by the foot, or on wheels or tank or any other structure, for
the purpose of a syringe throwing fine sprays of water. I make in metal, or any
other material, a plunger, or plug, with a tail at one end, round the body of the
plug, I cut four (more or less) oblique guts, or furrows, or channels therein, which
gives the plug, somewhat of the appearance of a round cutter or spiral screw.
This plug, I place inside the nozzle of the garden syringe, & its flat face towards the
concave of the inner point of the nozzle, thereby forming a small cavity, & the
oblique channels cut in the side of the plug, leads to this small space. The tail
end of the plug is for the purpose of readily & quickly removing, with the fingers
the plug, from the nozzle, when it becomes clogged or choked & is easily cleansed &
replaced again. Thus my improved nozzle, carrying the gutter cut plug, is screwed
upon the rose of the garden syring or in any other required position.
When the garden syringe is worked, the water (or other substance) rushes
through the channels into the cavity in the nozzle, & boils again as in a foaming
cataract, & fighting with force to free itself from the confined space, at last issues
through the small hole in the nozzle in very fine drops & falling resembling Scotch
mist, with a circumference of some thirty feet more or less.

Improvements in connection with the Inside of the Nozzle of the
Garden Syringe.
WILLIAM HICKIN, of the Firm of Thomas Hickin & Son, 83, Buckingham Street,
Birmingham, Brassfounders, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
-
The object of my improvements, in connection with the inside of the nozzle, of
the garden syringe, is to produce a wide and powerful spray spreader, by means of
a loose plug, working within the nozzle, & its circumference serrated obliquely.

page_text: In carrying out my invention I construct & use any desired, pattern garden syringe,
used, either in hand, or by foot, or on wheels, or tank, or hose pipe, or any other
structure, for the purpose of throwing fine sprays of water, or liquid manures, or
other substance, I make in metal, or any other material, a plunger, or plug with
a tail, at one end, round the body of the plug, I cut four, more or less, oblique
furrows, or channels, or curved grooves therein which gives the plug somewhat of
the appearance of a round cutter or spiral screw, or other shaped groves, or openings
may be formed, upon the body, or the circumference of the plug, if so desired.
This plug I place inside the nozzle or nose piece (which at its bottom, is made
concave) & its flat face or other formed face, towards the concave of the inner
point, of the nozzle, thereby forming, a small cavity, & the oblique channels, cut
in the side, of the plug lead to the small space. The tail end or the small centri-
fugal spindle of the plug is for the purpose, of readily & quickly removing, with
the fingers, the plug from the nozzle, or nose piece, when it becomes clogged or
choked, & is easily cleansed, & replaced again. Thus, my improved nozzle carry-
ing the cut or grooved plug, is screwed upon the rose, of the garden syringe or in
any other required position..
When the sprayer is worked, the water, or liquid or manure, or other substance,
rushes through the channels, with great speed, into the cavity between the bottom,
of the plug & the concaved nozzle the water boils again as in a cataract, & fighting
with force, to free itself from the confined space at last issues through the small
hole, in the nose piece, or nozzle in fine sprays, & falling resembling Scotch mist,
according to the pressure, with a circumference of some thirty feet more or less.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I will now more particu-
larly describe it with the aid of the accompanying drawings in which similar parts
are marked, with like letters of reference.
Fig. 1 represents an elevation of my improved plug & showing the oblique
channels round the body, & also the tail end of the plug. Fig. 2 represents a
plan of the bottom of my plug. Fig. 3 represents a section of my nozzle with its
end concave. Fig. 4 represents a section of my nozzle, & with an elevation of my
plug therein, also showing the small cavity between the bottom of the plug &
nozzle.

Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, in in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1st. To make a loose plug with channels thereon to fit within the nozzle of a
garden syringe, or hose pipe, or any such like articles, where pressure is used, &
fine sprays are required, for the purpose, set forth described & illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.
2nd. The concave in the inside of the nozzle or nose piece, for the purpose herein
described.
3rd. The combination of the plug, & the concave, inside the nozzle, for the
purpose of producing sprays.
4th. The plug, as shown at Figures 1, 2, & 4, as & for the purpose herein
described.
