ADJUSTABLE SMOOTH BORE NOZZLE

摘要

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a nozzle that may allow the operator to adjust the flow rate of the fluid through a straight stream nozzle, while maintaining an open waterway. A nozzle may be devised that utilizes an adjustment motion common to operators of such a nozzle, where the adjustment motion allows the operator to switch between a fully open flow and a restricted flow. The fully open flow can provide a smooth bore straight profile stream of fluid at a higher flow rate, and the restricted flow can provide the smooth bore straight profile stream at a lower flow rate.

1. A nozzle, comprising:
a fluid flow control body configured to control fluid flow into the nozzle; a nozzle base operably coupled with the fluid flow control body, and comprising a base fluid passage; a nozzle tip operably coupled with the nozzle base, and comprising a tip fluid passage in fluid communication with the base fluid passage, the tip fluid passage comprising a straight bore passage configured to provide a straight stream fluid discharge from an outlet of the nozzle disposed in an open position and in a restricted position; and a restrictor component configured to restrict flow of fluid between the base fluid passage and the outlet of the nozzle when the nozzle is disposed in the restricted position; and a restriction actuator operably coupled with the restrictor component, and configured to actuate the restrictor component between the open position and restricted position.
