COMPLETE SPECIFICATION
An Improved Nozzle or Spout for Funnels or similar Vessels.
WILLIAM JOHN HOLLIS 19 Eastpark Terrace Southampton Ironmonger, 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 improvements in the nozzles, or spouts of funnels, or
similar vessels.
This invention has for its object, the production of a nozzle or spout for funnels or
similar vessels, that shall be more effectual in its operations than those hitherto used or
employed.
This nozzle or spout consists of a taper straight, or moulded tube, of metal,
or other material, either wrought, or cast, and containing a number of vertical
grooves, corrugations, or flutes, the said nozzle, or spout, to be attached to funnels
or similar vessels of metal or other material, and in order that my said invention,
may be properly understood, I have hereunto appended an explanatory sheet of
drawings, whereon
Fig. 1, Sheet 1 shews a taper nozzle, or spout, with vertical grooves, corrugations,
or flutes, as applied to a funnel.
Fig: 2, Sheet 1 shews a straight nozzle, or spout with vertical grooves, corru-
gations, or flutes as applied to a funnel.
A, relates to the bodies of funnels.
B, relates to the nozzles or spouts.
C, relates to the inlet end of nozzles or spouts.
D relates to the outlet end of nozzles or spouts.
On the drawings, the same reference letters wherever repeated indicate similar
or like parts.
Fig. 1, Sheet 1, A shews the body of funnel.
B shews the taper nozzle, or spout attached to body of funnel.
C shews the inlet of taper nozzle or spout of funnel.
D shews the outlet of taper nozzle or spout of funnel.
Fig. 2, Sheet 1, A shews the body of funnel.
.
B shews the straight nozzle or spout attached to body of funnel.
C shews the inlet of straight nozzle or spout of funnel.
D shews the outlet of straight nozzle or spout of funnel.
As it is evident, that the shapes, or sizes of the nozzles or spouts may be altered
from the views already shewn, so as to obtain the greatest possible results, without
departing from the spirit or principle of this invention it is to be clearly understood,
that I do not confine myself to any definite size, length, or pattern of nozzles,
or spouts, neither do I confine myself to any fixed or determined number of grooves,
corrugations, or flutes in the said nozzle or spout, neither do I confine myself to the
shape, width, or depth of the said grooves, corrugations or flutes, in the said nozzles
or spouts, neither do 1 confine myself to any particular metal, substance, or material
used in the construction of the said nozzle or spout.
Having now particularly described, and ascertained the nature of my inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
5 claim is,
1. An improved nozzle or spout, for, and to be attatched to funnels, and similar

page_text: and such like vessels, the said nozzle or spout consisting of a tube, either taper,
or straight, or moulded, and containing a number of vertical grooves, corrugations,
or flutes.
2. An improved nozzle or spout, for, and to be attatched to funnels, and similar,
and such like vessels, the said nozzle or spout consisting of a tube either taper, or
straight, or moulded and containing a number of vertical grooves corrugations or
flutes, manufactured of metal, or other substance, or material, either wrought
or cast.
3. The general construction of a nozzle or spout, for and to be attatched to
funnels, and similar, and such like vessels, and consisting of either a taper,
straight, or moulded tube, having a number of vertical. grooves, corrugations or
flutes.
Dated this 10th day of March 1894.
