SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.` 598,873, dated February 8, 1898.

Application filed March 8, 1897.l

To a/ZZ whom it may concern/.-

Be it known that I,'ARTHUR WV. JOY, of Bangor, in the county of Penobscot and State of Maine, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Nozzles, of which the following is a specification. y

My invention is an improved nozzle for sprinkling, (Snc. and the invention consists in certain novel constructions, combinations, and arrangements of parts, as will be vhereiuafter described, and pointed 'out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective View of my nozzle as adapted for street and lawn sprinkling purposes. Fig. 2 is a sectional view on about line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on about line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 shows the nozzle adapted for use upon a hose. Fig. 5 illustrates a somewhat different form of nozzle. Figs.`6 and 7 'are detail sections, and Figs. 8, 9, and l0 illustrate a means for securing the hollow heads in the body and for aiding in distributing the water.

The nozzle shown in Fig. l comprises a body A, having a chamber B in communication with the water-supply, and is provided with the sockets C, communicating by ports C with thev chamber B, such sockets being flared toward their outer ends and receiving the hollow conical heads D, which may be screwed in the sockets C, as shown, or be held in other suitable manner, and are provided on their outer sides with grooves d, eX- tending to or nearly to their outer ends and opening at the outer side ofthe head and forming spray-passages. I have'also shown the walls of the socket as grooved at d', and the grooves d d Inay be arranged to register or either of such grooves may be employed to form intermediate spraying-ways along thel outer sides of the heads.

The heads D are hollow,and their end plates D' are provided with outlets D2, D3, and D, the outlet D2 being at the center'and being countersunk at its inner end, forming a seat for the rounded valve F,which may be a ball, as shown; but any body having a convex form to fit in the countersink would answer. The walls of the countersunk seat are grooVed at f, leading to the outlet D2, forming spraying passages or ways around the ball. The

Serial No. 626,435. (No model.)

width of the spraying from this center hole D2 may be varied by varying the width of the countersinking andcorrespondingly increasing the size of the ball and hole D2.

The end of the bodyA is rounded, it being designed to attach it to a pipe under the sidewalk, so it will lie i'lat on the curbing or project slightly from the outside of the curbing, when it would not obstruct foot travel and its circular form would not interfere with passing vehicles; but the end of the body A might in some instances be straight and so force the water or spray in a straight-stream. The outlets D3 and D4 are countersunk or chambered at their inner ends at d2 and d4,

such chambers being partly covered by platesl D5 and D6, as shown. The number of the outlets D3 and D4 may be increased, if desired.

While I have shown the head A as provided with three sockets C, it will be understood that the number of such sockets and accompanying heads may be varied, increased or reduced, as desired. In Fig. 4 I show the nozzle with but one spraying-head and adapted for application to a street-washing hose.

In the construction shown in Fig. 5 the nozzle is formed with a chamber G and a number of small holes extended therefrom at diierent angles and opening out of the end of the nozforming tapering passages e for the water discharged from the outlets D2 D2 D4. This frame, it will be seen, also serves to hold the heads D in the body, and suitable means are provided for securing the swinging end of the frame E.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The nozzle herein described consisting of the body having a socket, the hollow conical IOO head secured in said socket and having its outer side grooved forming waterways leading to the outer side of the body and having its end plate provided with an-outlet countersunk at its inner end, the walls of such countersink bein g grooved forming waterways, and the rounded valve operating in such countersink all substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. A nozzle substantially as described comprising a body having a socket, a hollow head iitted in said socket and provided in its outer or end plate with outlets counters unk at their inner ends and the plates partially covering the inner ends of such countersunk ends substantially as shown and described.

3. The nozzle herein described comprising the body having a socket and a hollow head iitted therein and having water-outlets and the frame secured to said body and adapted to retain the hollow head in the socket substantially as shown and described.

4. In a nozzle the combination of the body having sockets and perforated hollow heads iitted therein and the frame held to said body and having bars extending over the said heads and tapered substantially as shown and desecured to the body and extended across the scribed.

5. A nozzle composed of the body having x sockets, the hollow heads fitted in said sockets and the frame hinged at one end to the body and having tapered bars extending across the hollow heads substantially as shown and described.

6. The improved nozzle herein described consisting of the body having a chamber and a plurality of sockets in communication therewith, the hollow conical heads held in said sockets and provided in their outer sides with grooves forming waterways or channels and having its end plate provided with a central outlet conntersunk at its inner end and having its walls grooved forming waterways or channels and the rounded valve operating therein, and also having the outlets countersunk at their inner ends and partially covered at such end substantially as shown and described.

7. A nozzle comprising the body having a socket, and a head fitted in said socket,

grooves being formed between said socket and head forming water-outlets leading alongside said head substantially as described.

8. A nozzle comprising the body provided with the outlets and the frame extending from side to side of the body across said outlets and arranged to be impinged upon by the water discharged through said outlets substantially as described.

9. A nozzle comprising a body having a socket,a head tted in said socket and a frame head whereby to retain the same in the socket substantially as described.
