Application led December 9, 1912. Serial No. 736,202.

lt has for its particular object the produclti-on of a nozzle in which the two jets of oil or fluid will be forced into the path of each other, thereby causing the two streams to cylindrical body portion of the nozzle has av be broken into a fan shaped spray.

The invention consists in certain novel` vof the present invention. Fig. 2 represents a transverse section of a portion of said pipe and a nozzle secured thereto. Fig. 3 represents a longitudinal section of the same, and Fig. 4 represents an end view of said nozzle. Similar characters designate like parts throughout the several igures of the drawings.

'In the drawing, 10 represents the usual delivery pipe of any well-knownform of street oiler, oil or fluid being forced thereto through the central pipe 11. At equal intervals between thetwo ends of said pipe are positioned the nozzles 12, each of which is provided with an external conical recess 13 in its outer end. These nozzles 12 are provided with external threads by'which they are secured in the wall of the pipe 10, each nozzle having a conical inner end 14 extending Ainto the interior of said pipe 10. The conical projection 14 at the inner end of the base of the -same diameter as that of the said body portion with the periphery of which the edge of said base conforms and registers. From opposite points in the wall of said conical end 14 and above the inner wall of the pipe 10 extend the two holes or restricted passages 15 communicating at their opposite ends with the conical recess 13. These holes 15 are in the same plane and their axes converge within the recess 13 preferably in the center thereof. As the jets of oil o1' fluid forced through the pipe 10l pass `through these holes 15 they converge in the center of the recess 13 and are broken into a fan` shaped spray extending longitudinally of said pipe 10. The various nozzles l2 are preferably spaced near enough together to permit the various fan shaped sprays to,

strike each other, thereby breaking `the oil into liner particles and making a continuous sheet of line oil extending the entire length of the pipe 10.

In order to have the sprays from the nozzles longitudinally of the pipe 10 it is es- I sential that the nozzles 12 should be positioned in the pipe 10 so that the holes 15 are all at right angles to the axis of said pipe. By this arrangement the fluid passing through each pair of said holes 15 will impinge upon each other and be forced outwardly into a fan shaped spray at right angles to the path of said fluid as it is discharged from said holes 15. It is self-evident, however, that a single nozzle may be used to good advantage for some classes of work, in which case it might be threaded to the end of the delivery pipe, or in the side wall as shown.

The holes 15 are located suiliciently above the inner wall of the pipe 10 to permit the sediment to collect in said p ipe without clogging said holes 15. Moreover, as the iiuid'is forced through the pipe 10 it will Vstrike the conical end 14, thereby causing it to be moved over the mouth-of the holes 15 thus keeping them free from sediment.

When in operation the oil or other iluid passing through the holes 15 will be delivered to the ground with such force and in such a fine spray that it will penetrate all the dust of the road and soak it thoroughly rather than settle on top of the same, as is usually the case. Obviously this is a great improvement.

his nozzle is very effective in its opera.- tion and is simple in construction, as is evident from an inspection of the drawings.

drical body portion terminating at one end in avconical projection With a base conforming to and registering with the periphery of said body portion, and provided at its opposite end With a conical recess With an unbroken Wall, said body portion having two diametrically disposed steeply inclined passages extending from the inner end of said conical recess to the face of said conical projection at points above the base thereof.

2. A nozzle having a cylindrical body portion terminating in a cone shaped end the base of which is the same diameter as said body portion and provided with a conical recess at the opposite end, the Wall of which is unbroken and more steeply inclined than the Wall of said cone shaped end, the face of thelatter having extending therefrom elongated restricted passages diametrically disposed parallel to opposed lines of the Wall of said recess With which the opposite ends of said passages communicate.

3. A. nozzle having an elongated cylindrical body portion terminating at one end in a conical projection With a base conforming to and registering With the periphery of said body portion, and provided at its opposite end Witha conical recess with an unbroken steeply inclined Wall, said body portion having two diametrically disposed steeply inclined passages extending from the inner end ofsaid conical recess to the face of said conical projection at points above the base thereof.
