We MAXIMILIAN ALBERT LUTZNER and HERMANN DANIEL RUDOLPH GUMTOW
of Berlin in the Empire of Germany, Engineers do hereby declare the nature of
our 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 refers to an apparatus in which small jets of water cross each
other and so are diffused into spray, which apparatus is covered with a shell or
pipe to produce a sucking effect or draught at one end or opening of such shell
or pipe.
This sucking effect or draught may be utilised in different ways i.e. either to
introduce fresh air charged with a certain degree of dampness into the rooms to be
ventilated for instance rooms of hospitals or of tobacco factories for the precipitation
of the tobacco dust, or to clear the room for instance of a Paper Factory of damp air,
gases or vapour through this suction. Besides the apparatus may be used for
different industrial purposes, for instance to suck gas from the retorts and purify
it at the same time from the ammonia without a pump or scrubber.
This water spray apparatus is only used in combination with a covering shell
or pipe to produce the suction, but Figures 1, 2 and 2ª represent details of the
apparatus without the covering to show the construction. The apparatus
represented in Figure 1 is fixed to the water pipe and the water leaves the
apparatus following the direction of the arrows in 3 ways.
1. Through the straight opening a
2. Through the slanting openings b b b. These openings are so constructed that
the water jets cross each other and diffuse the water into spray, while the middle
jet has also the object of increasing the suction.
Figure 2. represents a modification of the spray apparatus. The plug B screwed
into A has also several openings ccc, but besides it is furnished with a thorn d
against which latter the jets strike and so diffuse the water into spray. Figure 2 c
represents a plan of the plug B. The thorn d can also be omitted as the jets cross
each other, the openings c being slanting and so diffuse the water into spray.
Figures 3, 4, 5 and 7 represent also modifications shown with the covering shell
or pipe U.

page_text: The apparatus Figure 3 consists of a strong ring e furnished with holes bored in
a slanting direction from which the water squirts, the jets crossing each other and
the water diffusing into spray, the middle jet also serving to increase the suction.
In Figure 4 the water holes are bored so that the jets strike against the covering
pipe U partially diffuse the water jets which rebound and cross each other after
the rebound, and then wholly diffuse the water into spray. The middle jet from h
serves to increase the suction.
Figure 5 is a small apparatus with 3 jets which cross each other and diffuse
without the use of a middle jet.
The apparatus represented in Figure 7 is much larger and consists of 3 rings k, k¹,
and These rings are rigidly connected with each other and the water squirts
from holes in their nether periphery in the direction of the arrows.
Figure 8 is an inverted plan of Figure 7 the points indicating the water holes.
Figure 6 represents the apparatus shown in Figure 1 in use both sucking and
pressing.
The spray sucks the air into the U shaped pipe U and expels it in the direction
of the arrows. The water used flows away through l.
Having now particularly 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. The combination of a water spray apparatus in which the water jets cross
each other and so diffuse the water into spray with a covering shell or pipe for the
purpose of producing a suction or draught at one end or opening of such covering
shell or pipe substantially as specified.
2. A water spray apparatus in which the water jets cross each other and diffuse
the water into spray, with or without a middle thorn or a middle jet substantially
as specified.
