HARRY E. MCKEOHNEY, OF-ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.

HosE-NozzLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 14, 1908.

i Application iled September 7, 1907. Serial No. 391,813.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, HARRY EMCKEOHNEY, of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hose-Nozzles, which improvement is fully set forth in the -following specification and shown in the accom# panying drawings.

My invention is an im roved nozzle for hose, designed more particu arly for use with fire engines in the matter of extinguishing fires and for similar purposes.

One object among others in constructing this nozzle is to provide movable coacting parts so arranged that by shifting them a arge stream of water of the full capacity of the tip or nozzle proper may be thrown, or a slender stream of small diameter may be discharged through but independent of the tip, a further shifting of the parts also serving to shut off the discharge of water altogether.

Other objects andA advantages of the invention will be brought out and made to appear in the following description,.and the novel features pointed out in the appended claims, reference being-had to the accompanying drawing which, with the reference numerals marked thereon, form -a part of this specification.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a side view of my improved nozzle with parts shown in various positions by full and dotted lines. Fig. 2 is an elevation of parts at the middle of the device seen as indicated by arrow in Fig. 1, further showing the construction, parts being broken away. Fig. 3 is a view ooking into the end of the nozzle. Fig. 4 is a transverse section on the dotted line a in Fig. 5, small parts being broken away. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the nozzle mainly in central longitudinal section, seen in the direction in which Fig. 1 is seen, parts bein lshown in two positions by full and dotte lines. Fig. 6 is a transverse section of inner parts on the dotted line b in Fig. 5. Fig. 7 1s an axial section of parts on the dotted ine in Fig. 6, parts being broken away. Fig. 8 is a plan of the base of the axial tube with the u per portion mainly broken away, the barrelp being in transverse section and the threaded ring broken away, a part at the left being horizontally sectioned on the dotted line c in Fig. 7 to uncover the ring of packing. Fig. 9 is a side elevation of the lower parts of the axial tube, detached, further showing the form, parts being broken away. Figs. 1

andV 2 are drawn to a scale smaller than that of the remaining figures.

Referring to the parts shown, 1 in the various figures is the main base portion of the nozzle, internally threaded at its lower end to receive the hose.

2 is the barrel of the nozzle held to have longitudinal motion in the upper end of the base 1.

3 is a cap threaded upon the upper end of the base 1 and forming a cover therefor, holding a ring of packing, 4, Fig. 5, to insure a Water-tight joint around the barrel 2. The cap 3 is formed with a hexagonal periphery 5 for receiving a wrench to turn it, and a divided or branched standard 6, Figs. 1, 2, 4, and 5, at one side of the barrel 2 to which is pivotally hung a U-shaped bail or lever 7, by means of a transverse bolt 8 passing through the ends of the lever and the branches of the standard, a sleeve 29 being placed between the branches. The lever 7 is formed with two opposite inwardly-projecting trunnions 9 9, Fig. 4, extending between two pair of transverse spaced ledges 10 10, Figs. 1, 4 and 5, projecting from the sides of the barrel 2. By means of this construction when the lever 7 is swung one way or the other on the pivot bolt 8 the barrel will be correspondingly moved longitudinally through the upper end of the main base piece 1, these movements of the lever and the barrel being indicated by the dotted-line positions shown in Figs. 1 and 5. The'barrel 2 is formed near its upper end with an enlarged part 11 above which it is exteriorly threaded to receive the tip or nozzle proper 12.

Within the main base 1 is placed removably a circular rest or holder 13, Figs. 5, 6 and 7, crossing the axis of 4the base 1 and formed with a ring 14 having its periphery threaded and inserted in a threaded seat 15 in the base 1 above its lower end. This holder 13'has a central body-portion 16 connected with the ring 14 by radial ties 17 leaving spaces 18 for the Vpassage of the water through it into the base 1. The central part 16 has a ilange 19 at its upper side forming a shallow cup for holding a disk 20 of packing material upon which the lower open end of the barrel 2 may at times rest. This holder 13 has a central threaded stud 21, clearly shown in Fig. 7, for receiving an internally threaded circular body 22 holding, as a base, a slender tube 23, said tube, the barrel 2 and the main base 1 being coaxial. This inner stud 21, and an upper body portion 25 re` ceiving the lower end of the axial tube 23 and being connected with the part 24 by thin radial ties 26 with spaces 27 between for the flow of water into the tube 23. The part 25 of the expanded part or tube base 22 is larger in diameter than the bottom part 24 and meets the inner surface of the barrel 2, a ring 28 of packing material, Figs. 5, 7, 8 and 9, serving to render the joint water-tight between the base 22 and the inner surface of the barrel.

The tube base 22 is usually screwed rmly upon the stud 21 of the holder 13 so that said base, the tube 23 and the holder 13 act as a single piece, being inserted into and removed from the main base piece 1 as a single body. And in use the said parts, that is to say, the inner base 22, the tube, the holder and the main base 1 are relatively motionless While the lever 7 and the barrel 2 with the tip 12 may occupy any one of three different positions as may be necessary. That is to say, when the lever is in its lowest position, as appears in full lines in Figs. 1 and 5, the inner end of the barrel 2 will press the packing disk 20, as clearly shown in Figs. 5 and 7, in which position no water can flow through or out of the nozzle, the latter being temporarily out of action. When the lever is at its upper position, shown by dotted lines in Figs. 1 and 5, the barrel and the tip 12 will be extendedv as shown by the dotted positions in the two figures, the lower end of the barrel being up dis* tant from the disk 20 and forming a full opening into and through the barrel and thus permitting a discharge of water of the full capacity of the exit opening of the tip 12. If, again, the lever be moved to occupy the intermediate position, shown lowest in dotted lines in Fig. 1, the barrel will be only slightly raised trom the packing disk 20, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 9, and sucient to uncover the openings 27 Figs. 7, 8 and 9, leading into the tube 23 but not sufficient to allow water to pass into the barrel. In this position of the parts a stream of water will flow out of the tube through but independent of the tip 12, the latter being, for the time, idle, for while the barrel is in contact with the part 25 of the tube base 22 and the ring of packing 2S no water can ilow into it and the tip 12, the only stream issuing from the nozzle being that delivered through the tube 23. Thus by adjusting the lever 7 the outilowing water may be directed through both the barrel and the tube 23, or through the axial tube 23 alone alternately, or wholly stopped.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A hose nozzle com rising a base portion, a barrel held movab y by the base portion, a cap for the base portion encircling the barrel a standard on said cap, a bent lever pivoted to the standard lwith parts to engage the barrel an inner tube base, a tube carried thereby coaxial with said barrel.
