SPRAY NozzLE.`

Application led January 23. 1926. Serial No. 83,222.

My invention relates to an improved and compact form of spray nozzle and has particular application to such nozzles as are used in connection with the usual showerv bath equipment.

The objects of my invention are, among other things, to provide a novel and simplified form of nozzle of this type in whlch the mutually parallel individual streams or jets forced downwardly through the perforated discharge plate of the nozzle head are transversely cut and deflected intermittently, thereby effectively breaking .up such continuous discharge streams whereby an exhilerating and tonic effect is produced on ythe skin of the batherfrom the individual lsub-divided streams in whichthe separate globules of water strike the body with rapid but intermittent succession.

With these and other objects in view my invention comprises the novel combination, construction and arrangement of the varlous parts embodied in my spray nozzle, and as hereinafter described and then particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In thev drawings, Fig. 1 is an enlarged sectional `eleva ion of my improved spray nozzle certain parts being-.broken away for the sake of clearness;

Fig. 2 is a plan view looking upwardly in Fig. 1; and A Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several figures.

Referring to Fig. 1, the downwardly flaI'-, ing head 4 of my nozzle has secured to its top the water inlet chamber 5 in which the water pipe (not shown)` may be screw threaded. Extending laterally from lthe chamber 5 are two curved outlets 6 and 7 having their openings 8 and 9 respectively projecting downwardly and directions'as shown in Figs. 1 and AtfiXed to the lower end of the head 4 is the perforated discharge plate 10 having suit-` in opposite so thatwater under pressure forced from the chamber 5 through the curved outlets 6 y close parallelism with the face of the plate 10 and extending to the outer rim thereof as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The nut 19 threaded on the end of the shaft 15 holds the rotary stream-cutter 16 in place while the washer 20 spacesthe rotary stream-cutter 16 from the plate 10 as shown in Fig. 1.

In operationwater under pressure -fiows from the chamber 5 through the curved outlets 6 'and 7 and forcibly impinges on the propeller blades 15 causing the propeller v14 rapidly' to revolve and also diffusing the water within the head 4. Such water is then discharged from the head 4 through the orifices 11 in continuous streams or jets which are immediately cut into intermittent finelydivided streams by the horizontally-rotating

arms

17 and 18 secured to the shaft 15 driven by the propeller 14 as herei'nbefore described. s

It will be noted that the movement of the

arms

17 and 18 is transverse t0 the falling jets from the orifices 11. and. such arms in travelling across such continuous streams effectively break up the jets so as to pro-l duce finely-divided intermittent streams which then fall on the body of the bather.

Various changes or modifications may be made in the form of the. s t ructural elements embodied in my improved'isprajT nozzle without departing from the principle and scope of' my invention and without sacrificing its advantages.

I claim as my invention 1. A- spray nozzle comprising a head having a substantially flat perforated discharge plate at one end, water outlets within the head, a propeller actuated by water. issuing under pressure from said outlets, and a rotary water-cutting member actuated by said propeller in front of and in mutual parallelism with said discharge late, whereby the jets from the discharge p ate are transversely cut by'said member. f

2. A spray nozzle comprising a head hav-v ing a substantially flat perforated dischar plate at one end, water outlets "within t e head, a propellerhaving a, series of blades actuated by water issuing under pressure from said outlets, and a rotary water-cutting member actuated by said propeller in frontyof and in mutual arallelism with said discharge plate, whereby the jets from the discharge plate are transversely cut by said member.

3. A spray nozzle comprising a head having an inlet chamber at the .top anda substantially flat perforated discharge plate closing -the bottom, a plurality of curved water outlets leading laterally from said chamber within the head, a propeller within the head having blades adapted to be driven by Water under pressure from said outlets to rotate the propeller, and a rotary member having fiat cutting arms arranged in parallelism with, and in front of, said discharge plate and revoluble with said propeller, whereby the jets from the dischargev plate are transversely cut and intermittently deflected by said cutting arms.

4. Aspray nozzle comprising a head having an inlet chamber at the top and a substantially flat perforated discharge plate closing'the bottom, a plurality of curved water outlets leading laterally from said chamber within the head, a shaft journalled in said discharge plate, a propeller mounted on said shaft within the head having blades adaptedv to be driven by Water'under pressure from said outlets to rotate the propeller, and a rotary member having flat cutting arms arranged in parallelism with, and in front of said discharge plate and mounted on said shaft and revoluble with said propeller, whereby the jets from the discharge plate are transversely out and intermittently deflected by said cutting arms.

l 5. A spray nozzle comprising a head having an inlet chamber at the top and a circular substantially flat perforated discharge plate closing the bottom, a plurality of curved Water outlets leading laterally from said chamber within the head, a shaft journalled in said discharge plate, a propeller mounted on said shaft Within the head having blades adapted to be driven by water under pressure from said outlets to rotate the propeller, and a rotary memberhaving radially disposed sector-shaped cutting arms projecting in promixity to the outer face of, and approximately to, the outer rim of said discharge plate and in parallelism therewith, said member being removably securedvto said shaft and revoluble in unison with said propeller, whereby the jets from the discharge plate are transversely Vcut and intermittently deflected by said cutting arms.

6. A spray nozzle comprislng a head having an inlet chamber at the top and a circularI substantially flat perforated discharge plate closing the bottom, a plurality of curved water outlets leading laterally from said chamber within the head, a shaft journalled in said discharge plate, a propeller mounted on said shaft Within the head having blades adapted to be driven by water under pressure from said outlets to rotate the propeller, .and a rotary member having a pair of flat radially disposed, sectorshaped cutting arms projecting inproximity to the outer face of, and approximately to, the outer rim of said discharge plate and in parallelism therewith, said member being removably secured to said shaft and revoluble in unison with said propeller, whereby the jets from the discharge platc are transversely cut and intermittently deflected by said cutting arms.
