Spray nozzle attachment and methods therefor

摘要

A spray nozzle comprising a fitting that includes a connector, an elongate cylindrical portion extending from the connector, and a bore formed longitudinally through the fitting. A flexible tube is disposed in the bore. The nozzle includes a sleeve that includes an inlet opening configured to slideably receive the cylindrical portion. The sleeve includes a converging outlet operative to selectively deform an end portion of the tube when the sleeve is urged longitudinally toward the connector.

1. A spray nozzle, comprising:
a fitting including a connector attachable to a hose, an elongate cylindrical portion extending therefrom, and a bore formed longitudinally through the fitting; the cylindrical portion including a retaining ring disposed on a distal end thereof; a flexible tube disposed in the bore; and a sleeve including an inlet opening configured to slidably receive the cylindrical portion, and a converging outlet operative to selectively deform an end portion of the tube when the sleeve is urged longitudinally toward the connector; the sleeve including a plurality of longitudinally spaced detent grooves adapted to receive the retaining ring; the sleeve being slidably moveable, longitudinally, along the cylindrical portion between at least first and second spray positions, wherein the end portion of the tube is deformed by an amount corresponding to the longitudinal position of each detent groove.
