Patent ID: 7406971

Claim:
A method of simultaneously flushing the inner surfaces of a plurality of cavities in each of a plurality of parts comprising the steps of: installing a plurality of parts into a holder in spaced apart relationship in a first plane, with each part having at least a pair of openings and associated internal cavities spaced apart in a plane other than said first plane; providing a guide member near said part openings said guide member having a plurality of passages formed therein, including adjacent passages that are in a common plane parallel to said first plane and including adjacent passages that are in a common plane other than said first plane and wherein each of said passages has an axis aligned in coincidence with a respective part opening; providing a manifold opposite said holder with said manifold having a source of high pressure fluid connected thereto and having a plurality of probes extending therefrom with each of said passages having an axis aligned coincident with a respective probe tube axis; advancing said manifold and said plurality of probes along the axes of said probes such that said probes pass through the respective passages and into respective internal cavities; and causing high pressure fluid to flow through said probes and into said cavities to flush out any foreign matter that may reside on the inner surfaces thereof.
