page_text: I, GEORGE WALTER GOOLDEN WILLIAMS, of 13 Pitt Street, Barnsley, in the
County of York, Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
The object of this invention is a nozzle for garden hose, syringes, and the like,
which by a simple adjustment may be arranged to throw a solid jet, or one or more
different sprays as required.
This nozzle I construct of a ring or tubular piece of such form that it may be
screwed on to or otherwise attached to the hose or the like, in connection with
which the nozzle is to be used.
In the end of this ring or tubular piece is secured a disc, perforated with one,
two, or more different sets of holes, the number of sets being dependent upon the
number of different sprays the nozzle is required to throw. On this fixed disc is
mounted a second loose disc perforated in such a manner that by suitable adjust-
ment the perforations in it, and one of the sets of perforations in the fixed disc
may be brought to register with one another.
Passing through central openings in these two discs and through a boss formed
on or attached to the inner surface of the fixed disc is a hollow plug held in position
by a flange and nut, or in any other suitable manner and having its outer end open
and inner end closed.
Through the side of this hollow plug near its inner end is formed an opening,
whilst a similar opening is formed through the side of the boss on the inner surface
of the fixed disc. The plug and boss therefore constitute a plug tap which may
be opened or closed at will by simply revolving the former whilst the plug also
constitutes a jet nozzle.
The plug and loose perforated disc are so arranged relatively to one another
that when the perforations in the latter are arranged to register with one of the
sets of perforations in the fixed disc so that the nozzle will throw a coarse, fine, or
other spray, the escape through the plug will be closed, and when the plug is so
arranged as to permit of the issue of a jet therefrom the openings through the
perforated plates will be closed, thus permitting of a nozzle so constructed being
used either as a spray or jet nozzle as required.

page_text: I, GEORGE WALTER GOOLDEN WILLIAMS, of 14 Western Street, Barnsley, in
the County of York, Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly describedi
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is a nozzle for garden hose, syringes, and the like,
which by a simple adjustment may be arranged to throw a solid jet, or one or more
different sprays as required.
This nozzle I construct of a ring or tubular piece of such form that it may be
screwed on to or otherwise attached to the hose or the like, in connection with
which the nozzle is to be used.
In the end of this ring or tubular piece is secured a disc, perforated with one,
two or more different sets of holes, the number of sets being dependent upon the
number of different sprays the nozzle is required to throw. On this fixed disc is
mounted a second loose disc perforated in such a manner that by suitable adjust-
ment the perforations in it, and one of the sets of perforations in the fixed disc
may be brought to register with one another.
Passing through central openings in these two discs and through a boss, formed
on or attached to the inner surface of the fixed disc is a hollow plug held in position
by a flange and nut, or in any other suitable manner and having its outer end open
and inner end closed.
Through the side of this hollow plug near its inner end is formed an opening,
whilst a similar opening is formed through the side of the boss on the inner surface
of the fixed disc. The plug and boss therefore constitute a plug tap which may be
opened or closed at will by simply revolving the former whilst the plug also
constitutes a jet nozzle.
The plug and loose perforated disc are so arranged relatively to one another
that when the perforations in the latter are arranged to register with one of the
sets of perforations in the fixed disc so that the nozzle will throw a coarse, fine, or
other spray, the escape through the plug will be closed, and when the plug is so
arranged as to permit of the issue of a jet therefrom the openings through the
perforated plates will be closed, thus permitting of a nozzle so constructed being
used either as a spray or jet nozzle as required.
A nozzle so constructed is illustrated in plan and sectional elevation in Firs. 1
and 2 respectively of the accompanying drawings, whilst Fig. 3 is a sectional
elevation of a slightly modified form thereof.
Like letters refer to like parts throughout the drawings.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2-the tubular piece a has secured in it a disc b
perforated with one or more different sets of holes and upon it is mounted to revolve
a second disc c similarly perforated.
Through these two discs and a boss d formed on the fixed disc b passes a hollow
plug e held in position by nut f, and having its outer end open and its inner end
closed.
Through the side of this plug is an opening g whilst a similar opening g' is also
formed through the side of the boss d. the plug and boss thus form a plug tap and
jet nozzle, which may be opened or closed at will by simply revolving the latter,
whilst the two discs form a spring nozzle which may be opened or closed and varied
by suitably adjusting the movable discs, the whole being so arranged that when the
jet is open the spray is closed and vice versa.
In the modification shown in Fig. 3 the position of the discs is reversed, the
movable disc occupying the innermost position of the two instead of the outermost

page_text: as above described. In this case also the boss d is formed on the exterior of the
fixed plate b and the plug e attached to the movable disc c and the whole held in
position by a nut h and collar k.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
A nozzle provided at its end with a fixed and movable disc, each correspondingly
perforated with one or more sets of perforations in combination with a central jet
outlet, the whole arranged constructed and operating substantially as described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
