The conical member may be'kept in position laterally by means of a removable cover secured to the casing a by studs and nuts and shaped on its inner surface to correspond to the member g. rlhe cover may be provided with a set screw to bear tightly against the conical member. By removing the cover both the latter and the nozzle can be easily removed from position. In Figs. 1, and' 2, we have shown the cover 7a as part of the cone g, the combined unit being secured to the casing a by studs and nuts m. The studs pass through slots n in the' cover to enable a jack screw 0 carried by the upper flange p ofthe casingI a to jam themember g' down on to the vnozzle Z9 before'the cover kis tightened up.
