Abstract:
A nozzle is disclosed for use within a filter for inputting a jetting stream into the filter media to clean the filter media. The nozzle comprises an inlet for communication with a jetting stream source, and a plurality of plates stacked parallel and abutting one another. The plurality of plates comprises at least a top plate and a bottom plate, one of the plates having an aperture through the center thereof for receiving the jetting stream, wherein between adjacent plates at least one space is provided extending from the outside edge of the plates to the interior of plates and in fluid communication with the aperture for channeling the jetting stream radially outward from and substantially parallel with the longitudinal plane of the plate.

Claim (Index 1):
A nozzle for use within a filter for inputting a jetting stream into filter media, the nozzle comprising:\n an inlet for communication with a jetting stream source; at least a first plate and a second plate stacked parallel and abutting one another, the first plate having an aperture through the center thereof for receiving the jetting stream, each of the at least first and second plates having opposite flat surfaces perpendicular to a stacking direction thereof, wherein each of the first and second plates includes at least one ridge on one of the opposite flat surfaces thereof, said at least one ridge defining a respective channel between said plate and a plate adjacent thereto, wherein the channel extends from an outside edge of the second plate to an interior of the second plate in fluid communication with the aperture for guiding at least a portion of the jetting stream in a radial, curvilinear outward direction from and substantially parallel with a longitudinal plane of the second plate, wherein the outer diameters of the first and second plates are substantially varied.
