PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Nozzles of Pipes.
I, HARRY ALBERT MURPHY of Haverhill House, Halliwell Road, Bolton in the
County of Lancaster, Physician and Surgeon, do hereby declare the nature of my
said invention to be as follows:-
This invention refers to improvements in or relating to nozzles of pipes whereby
a spray, jet or column of water or a combination of both or liquid, gas, steam, or
other suitable medium that may be produced and employed. The nozzle is fitted
or mounted on the end of a stand or pipe and provided with a circular or other
convenient form of valve having ports or openings to allow of the passage of water
or liquid that may be employed for extinguishing fire. The valve casing is screwed
or secured on the upper end of the stand pipe in any convenient manner, and is
provided with an opening or openings leading to the jet and spray nozzle. The
jet is placed inside the spray or spreader nozzle; the space between its outer
diameter and the inner diameter of the spray or spreader nozzle being employed
for the passage of water or liquid to the spray nozzle. The upper or outer end
of the jet nozzle is provided with a spreader plate, which may be fast or louse, or a
cone, which may be held by a pin, tube, or the nozzle disposed inside the spray or
spreader nozzle. The circular or other valve is provided with ports or passages to
allow of water or liquid heing supplied through the nozzle and spray producer
at one and the same time, or separately, and is provided with a handle or its
equivalent to regulate and operate the same at will. The circular valve is con-
structed to form a complete shut off from the jet nozzle and allow only of the
spray which may be employed for watering gardens, and other purposes, such as,
washing windows, buildings, and watering streets.

only of the spray which may be employed for watering gardens, and other purposes,
such as, washing windows, buildings, watering streets, and extinguishing fires.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1-Sheet 1-is a sectional elevation of my improved nozzle-Fig. 2 a
sectional elevation of same through line A' B in Fig. 1-Fig. 3a front or
side elevation of the outside of Fig. 2-Fig. 4 n sectional plan through line C' D'
in Fig. 1Fig. 5a part sectional elevation of my improved nozzle with upper end
of jet nozzle concaved to produce a straight jet.-Fig. 6-Sheet 2-a sectional
elevation of one modification of my improved nozzle with the jet open-lig. 7a
sectional elevation through line M' N in Fig. 6, and Fig. 8 a sectional elevation of
Fig. 6 showing the jet nozzle closed and the spray nozzle open.
In all the figures the same letters are employed to indicate corresponding parts.
A is the nozzle; B valve; C ports or openings; D aprender plate; E jet nozzle ;
E ports or passages lending to spray or spreader and F the handle for operating
the valve B.
The nozzle A is fitted or mounted on the end of a stand or pipe and is provided
with the circular valve B having the ports or passages C to allow of the passage
of water or liquid that may be employed for extinguishing fire. The valve casing A
is screwed or secured on the upper end of an ordinary stand pipe in any convenient
manner, and is provided with the openings E and E leading to the jet and spray
nozzle. The jet Elis placed inside the spreader nozzle or plate D; the space or
passage E' being provided to supply the water or liquid to the spray nozzle D. The
upper end of the jet nozzle E is provided with the spreader plate D, which may
be fastened or secured by the nut or nuts K, or, by a cone which may be held
by a pin, or, the nozzle E disposed inside the spray or spreader nozzle E'. The
circular or other valve B is provided with the ports or passages C to allow of water
or liquid being supplied through the nozzle E and spray producer E at one and
the same time, or separately, the said valve being provided with the haudle For
its equivalent to operate the same at will. The circular valve B is so constructed
as to form a complete shut off from the jet nozzle by the part H of the valve B,
when a spray will be produced. To produce a perfectly straight jet or column of
water I provide the concave W on the upper or outer end of the jet nozzle Eas
shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 5. To prevent the outer end of the compound nozzle A
being damaged in case it falls or is struck against some hard substance I groove the
outside of same and dispose therein the india-rubber or other pliable ring Z.
My invention shown in Figs. 6, 7 and 8 is specially designed for watering gardens,
lawns, washing windows, buildings, watering streets, extinguishing fires, and other
similar purposes..

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. The general arrangements, constructions, and combination of parts composing.
the improvements in or relating to nozzles of pipes as herein before described and as
illustrated in the annexed drawings.
2. In nozzles for the indicated purposes the combination of the nozzle A, valve B
with the ports or passages C, passages E and E', spreader D, nuts K, and handle F,
substantially as described and illustrated in the annexed drawings.
