NOZZLE To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CnAnLns G. HEss, citizen of the United States, residing at Fort Worth, in the county of Tarrant and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Nozzles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in nozzles.

The object of the invention is to provide a nozzle having a novelly constructed valve arranged to be adjusted in conjunction with a cylindrical head to produce sprays of various degrees of fineness, a heavy or full stream, or a round stream such as is produced by the ordinary nozzle.

Another feature resides in the simple construction of the valve and its arrangement whereby it is readily seated by the pressure of the liquid.

A still further object lies in the construc tion and the particular disposition of the s ray opening whereby the nozzle when p aced on the ground serves the purpose of a awn spray.

Finally the object of the invention is to provide a device of the character described that will be strong, durable, quick acting and convenient in use, comparatively inexpensive to produce, also one in which the parts will not be liable to get out of working order.

'With the above and other objects in view, the invention has particular relation to certain novel features, anexample of which is de scribed in the specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the nozzle showing the valve in elevation, Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the nozzle taken at right angles to Fig. 1, Fig. 3 is an elevation of the nozzle, Fig. 4: is a partial vertical sectional view similar to Fig. 2 but showing the valve adjusted to a different position, Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the valve, and Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the nozzle showing it in position for use as a lawn spray.

In the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a nozzle which is formed with a neck portion 2 which terminates in a cylindrical head. 3, lying at right angles thereto. At one side of the vertical center of the head an elongated rectangular spray opening 4. is provided. Within the head a cylindrical valve 5 is mounted to freely turn. The valve is provided with a cutaway portion 6 and an out Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 390,107.

' Fig. 2 it will be apparent that the valve is positioned to permit the fluid to pass from the neck 2 through the orifice 7 and out through the opening 4. Or in other words the valve is turned until the orifice 7 registers with the opening 4 and a round stream, such as is desired for ejecting a fluid at a distance is produced.

It is evident that some means for turning the valve 5 must be provided and for efiecting this, the valve is formed at its inner end with a slot 8 which receives a lug 9 carried on a disk 10 mounted on the end of a valve turning stem 11, the latter carrying at its outer end operating wheel 12. The valve stem 11 passes through a suitable stuffing box 14 threaded into the open end of the nozzle head 3 and forming a bearing for the disk 10 so that the valve is held against longitudinal displacement. It is obvious that by making the valve and the stem separate, the valve is capable of a slight independent movement so that it is readily seated by the pressure of the liquid. A valve of this construction and arrangement is quickly and readily manipulated and it is only necessary to grasp the wheel 12 and turn the same to revolve the valve 5 and produce the desired effect in either a stream or spray. By turning the valve to the position indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2 the full stream passing through the neck 2 is permitted to pass through the head 3 and out through the opening i. Should it be desired to entirely shut off the passage of the liquid it is simply necessary to turn the valve to the position indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2. In Fig. 4 the valve is shown as partly closing the o ening 4; which reduces the stream and pror uces a spray which can be readily varied by slightly turning the valve and decreasing or increasing the size of the opening. in this view the valve 5 is shown in position in "full lines for producing a fine spray and in dotted lines for producing a coarser spray. In effecting any of these adjustments or the one previously described it is never necessary to revolve the valve more than one complete revolution.

I desire to call attention to the fact that in use, the valve is conveniently grasped in a substantially vertical position, the stream being ejected at the proper angle on account of the location of the opening 4. The nozzle being grasped in one hand the wheel 12 may be readily turned with the otherhand. When wardlyg tapering orifice 7. By referring to it is desired to use the nozzle as a lawn spray it is laid in a horizontal position with the opening 4 uppermost and the valve properly a justed as shown in Fig. 6.

It is to be understood that this nozzle may be used in various ways and in ejecting different kinds of liquids under different conditions. number and it does not possess internal operating threads or other complicated and eX- ensive constructions likely to get out of orer and with the working of which heavy liquids would interfere.

What I claim, is:
