Abstract:
Spray nozzle systems and methods of use are described herein. The spray nozzle system may include a stationary tube, a rigid rotor, and a sub-medium supply source. The stationary tube may be in fluid communication with a pressurized air source. The substantially rigid rotor is in fluid communication with the pressurized air source. The substantially rigid rotor includes a substantially rigid conduit that is in fluid communication with the passages of the stationary tube and the rotor. A portion of the conduit is substantially arched such that an outlet of the conduit is offset a radial distance in a radial direction from the rotor axis. Pressurized air ejected from the outlet produces directional components of the pressurized air in the direction of rotation about the rotor axis; and during use, the pressurized air rotates the rotor and sucks sub-medium from the sub-medium supply source into the stationary tube passage.

Claim (Index 33):
A method of cleaning a surface, comprising:\n providing pressurized air from a pressurized air source to a spray nozzle, wherein the spray nozzle is a hand-held apparatus, the spray nozzle comprising: a first tube in fluid communication with the pressurized air source; a rigid rotor coupled to the first tube, wherein the rotor comprises an opening extending through at least a portion of the rotor, and wherein the opening is arched or angled such that an outlet of the opening is offset a radial distance in a radial direction from a rotor axis; engaging an actuator, coupled to the first tube, allowing air from the pressurized air source to flow into the opening and be ejected from the outlet; rotating the rotor using pressurized air ejected from the outlet; and cleaning, at least partially, a surface.
