IMPRovEMENT IN FouNTAlN-NozzLEs.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 182,4 [3, dated September 19, 1876; application filed August :21, 1576. y

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAviD B. CHASE, of West Winsted, in the county of Litchfield and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Fountain-Nozzles; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying d rawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe saine, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in-

Figure 1, a side view of the nozzle when the ow is out off; Fig. 2, a vertical central section of the nozzle enlarged; Fig. 3, a trailsverse section of the saule; and in Fig. 4, a plan illustrating the operation of the nozzle.

This invention relates to an attachment for fountain nozzles, lthe object being to dis-` charge a spray, and by the force of the discharge cause the nozzle to rotatle. It consists in combining, with a stationary nozzle or discharge, a iexible tube, terminatingv With a nozzle perforated transversely, the said perforations inclining both longitudinally and radially, as more fully hereinafter described.

The device is shown as applied to a common hose-pipe, A, made fast in vertical position 5 but it may be applied to any discharge similarly` arranged. Bis a flexible tube or -common india-rubber nose, of such a nature as to be extremely flexible. One end of this flexible part B is drawn on over the tip of the nozzle. To the other end the discharge or nozzle proper C is attached. This nozzle C consists of acylindrical tube, its outer end wholly or partially closed, and o n the sides of the nozzle several perforations, a, are made. These perforations incline longitudinally inward from the end, or downward, as seen in Fig. 2. They also have a radial incline,as seen in Fig. 3, the radial incline all being in the same direction. This completes the de- Vlce.

The loose pipe having been secured in a`vertions in Vthe tube C. The jets discharging', as l indicated in broken lines, Fig. 3, through the inclined perforations, and impart to ita rotating or revolving force, while the longitudinal incline causes a reactionary force upon the tube C toward the xcd nozzle A. i f

As the rotary or revolving motion of the tube C would twist the flexible tube, this force, combined with the longitudinal force, causes the flexible tube to swing around the tixed nozzle, the tube performing one full revolution to each full swing around( the fixed point. The twist, therefore, which would be put into the flexible tube by the revolution of the discharge-tube, will be taken out by the swinging around the fixed pointthat is to say, the swinging of the flexible tube around this fixed point would twist the tube once around, if the free end did not revolve,`and as the revolution of the tube by the force of the 'water is in the same direction as the twist which would be imparted to the tube by such swinging around the fixed point, one twist counter-acts the other, the twisting force of the discharge vcausing the tube to swing in order to free itself from the twist given it by the discharge.

I'claiin- In combination with a liexible discharge-` tube, the tubular discharge,'pertbrated with openings inclined both longitudinally and radially, substantially as described.
