Patent ID: 8328112

Claim:
A fluid spray nozzle, comprising: a discharge surface; an orifice disposed on the discharge surface; an impingement surface oppositely facing the orifice, the impingement surface having a distal portion being generally converging triangular shaped and having a rounded tip and being oriented at an impingement angle measured relative to a centerline of the orifice, the impingement angle being less than 90 degrees whereby a portion of fluid will be deflected back to along the discharge surface; a deflection ridge smoothly bridging a gap between the impingement surface and the discharge surface, the deflection ridge defining a spray angle which limits the discharge of fluid by providing a transition between the impingement and discharge surfaces; said orifice being laterally spaced apart from the deflection ridge and a fluid fitting in fluid connection with the orifice, the fluid fitting adapted to receive a pressurized fluid.
