  • the inlet channels 50 are laterally limited in a cross section transverse to their longitudinal extension by portions of the rib 49 and delimited on the upper side by the cap bottom 43. Only the arrangement of the cap 39 on the Receiving pin 38 leads to the complete enclosure of an inlet channel 50 using the end face 40 on the pin side as the channel bottom.
  • the inlet channels 50 open radially on the outside into an annular channel 52 which is set in the cap assignment position. This results from the stepped circumferential surface 42.
  • the guide channels 50 run tangentially to a central chamber 53 formed between the end face 40 and the cap base 43 in a plane transverse to the longitudinal axis y.
  • the central chamber 53 is preferably aligned coaxially to the longitudinal axis y, correspondingly having a circular cylindrical wall into which wall the inlet channels 50 openly enter.
  • a lateral boundary wall which is formed by the rib 49, preferably runs tangentially into the ring wall of the central chamber 53 (cf. Figure 10 ).
  • the inlet channels 50 are arranged in an angular distribution evenly distributed in plan around the longitudinal axis y.
  • the continuous rib When viewed in the circumferential direction with respect to the longitudinal axis y, the continuous rib forms both the inner and the outer side wall of each inlet channel 50 and, moreover, a radially outer connecting wall between the inner and outer wall.
  • the cap 39 preferably sits on the end face 40 with the entire rib surface directed towards the receiving pin 38.
  • the sealing surfaces 47 and 51 provide a targeted entry of medium through the liquid path 41 and the inlet channels 50 into the central chamber 53, from which the medium M can emerge swirled through the spray nozzle 48.
  • FIG 11 shows the possible arrangement and orientation of the inlet channels 50.
  • Each inlet channel 50 has a fluid axis a directed in the direction of the central chamber 53.
  • These (here three) fluid axes a run tangentially into a circle K in the area of the central chamber 53, the center of which is formed by the longitudinal axis y.
  • the circle K in this case has a diameter which is smaller than the diameter of the central chamber 53 which is not influenced by the inlet channels 50 and which is considered in relation to the longitudinal axis y.
  • the circle K can moreover be dimensioned larger than the free diameter or a large dimension transversely to the longitudinal axis y of the spray nozzle 48.
  • the side walls 54 arranged downstream of the fluid axes a in the clockwise direction run tangentially into the wall of the central chamber 53.
  • the side walls 55 arranged upstream in the clockwise direction with respect to the fluid axes a can run parallel to the side walls 54.
  • An arrangement is shown in which a side wall 55 encloses an acute angle of, for example, 10 to 30 °, further, for example, approximately 15 °, to the associated side wall 54 of the same inlet channel 50.
  • All side walls 54 and 55 can be formed by the completely circumferential rib 49.
