Patent ID: 7506828

Claim:
A quick installation fluid dispensing nozzle assembly for mounting upon a fluid dispensing module having a longitudinal axis, comprising: a fluid dispensing nozzle member adapted to be disposed in fluidic communication with a fluid dispensing module so as to receive a fluid, to be dispensed, from the fluid dispensing module, said fluid dispensing nozzle member having at least one fluid dispensing discharge port formed therein for discharging the fluid in accordance with a predetermined pattern; an annular nut member having means disposed thereon for effectively engaging a first portion of said fluid dispensing nozzle member so as to prevent the separation of said fluid dispensing nozzle member from said annular nut member in a first direction, and thread means formed upon a first internal peripheral wall portion for threadedly engaging the fluid dispensing module; means, mounted upon said annular nut member, for engaging a second portion of said fluid dispensing nozzle member so as to prevent the separation of said fluid dispensing nozzle member from said annular nut member in a second opposite direction with respect to said first direction whereby said fluid dispensing nozzle member will be retained internally within said annular nut member so as to form an integral assembly with said annular nut member whereby said integral assembly, comprising said fluid dispensing nozzle member and said annular nut member, can be fixedly mounted upon the fluid dispensing module as a result of said annular nut member being threadedly engaged upon the fluid dispensing module; and means, mounted upon said fluid dispensing nozzle member, for interconnecting said fluid dispensing nozzle member with the fluid dispensing module, such that while said annular nut member is being threadedly engaged upon the fluid dispensing module, said fluid dispensing nozzle member will be prevented from undergoing rotation with respect to the fluid dispensing module whereby the orientation of said at least one fluid dispensing discharge port, formed within said fluid dispensing nozzle member, is maintained with respect to the longitudinal axis of the fluid dispensing module so as to preserve said predetermined fluid dispensing pattern.
