Abstract:
A directional flow control device includes a housing extending along a longitudinal axis between an inlet end and a discharge end. A flow deflector is received in the housing. The flow deflector is rotatable in the housing about a rotation axis parallel to the longitudinal axis. The flow deflector has a flow channel therethrough having an intake bore at a front end of the flow deflector and a discharge bore at a rear end of the flow deflector. The intake bore is coaxial with the rotation axis and the discharge bore is offset from the rotation axis.

Claim (Index 11):
The directional flow control device of  claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a front housing and a rear housing, the front housing having a front pocket receiving the front end of the flow deflector and an inlet bore in flow communication with the intake bore, the rear housing having a rear pocket receiving the rear end of the flow deflector, the rear housing having a first outlet bore and a second outlet bore, the flow deflector being rotatable to selectively couple the discharge bore in flow communication with the first outlet bore and being rotatable to selectively couple the discharge bore in flow communication with the second outlet bore.
