PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Spraying Nozzles for Washing Hops, and for
other purposes.
I, HENRY SEYMOUR TETT, of Preston Works, Faversham, in the County of
Kent, Agricultural Implement Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved nozzle for hop-washers and the like and
has for its object to provide improved means for spraying the liquid passing through
such nozzle.
The nozzle constructed according to my invention is adapted to be screwed
onto a tap, pipe or nipple adapted to be connected to the arm or hose of the washer.
Within the nozzle I arrange a disc which is preferably seated upon the nut, the
said disc having formed through it a hole or holes drilled in an inclined or spiral
direction in such a manner that the liquid passing therethrough would be caused
to rotate as it issues from the nozzle and be thereby sprayed.
In some cases I form through the disc a hole in axial alignment with the hole in
the nozzle.
In practice each nozzle is provided with two or more interchangeable discs
having holes of different sizes corresponding with the quantity of liquid to be
discharged from the nozzle in a given time.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Spraying Nozzles for Washing Hops, and for
other purposes.
I, HENRY SEYMOUR TETT, of Preston Works, Faversham, in the County of
Kent, Agricultural Implement Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manuer the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an improved nozzle for hop-washers and the like and
has for its object to provide improved means for spraying the liquid passing through
such nozzle.
The nozzle constructed according to my invention has arranged within it a disc
having formed through it a hole or holes drilled in an inclined or spiral direction.
To enable my invention to be fully understood will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of my improved nozzle: and,
Figures 2 and 3 are end and side elevations respectively of one of the discs:
Figures 4 and 5 are an end elevation and longitudinal section respectively of a
modified form of disc.
a is the nozzle proper, is the disc, and c is a nut or collar screwed into the end
of the nozzle. The nozzle a is formed with a seat adapted to receive the disc b,
the said disc being held against the seat by the nut c which is screwed down on to
it, all as clearly shewn in Figure 1. d, d are the holes formed in the disc, the said

holes being drilled as herein before stated in an inclined or spiral direction so
that the liquid issuing through the said holes into the nozzle will be caused to
rotate, whereby as it issues from the nozzle it will be delivered in the form of
Any suitable number of holes d, d may be formed in the disc and of any suitable
diameter according to the amount of liquid to be delivered through the nozzle in
a given time; as shewn in Figure 2 the disc is provided with three holes whereas
in Figures 4 and 5 only two holes d, d are shewn. I may in some cases provide
the disc with a central hole such as e, Figures 4 and 5, the sand holes being in
alignment with the hole through the nozzle.
In practice each nozzle is provided with two or more interchangeable discs
having holes of different sizes to suit different requirements.
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 :-
1. A spraying nozzle for washing hops and for other purposes having an internal
dise provided with spirally formed or inclined holes, substantially as described.
2. The manufacture and use of the improved spraying nozzle hereinbefore
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
