APPARATUS FOR AND PROCESS OF FILLING A MUFFLER WITH FIBROUS MATERIAL UTILIZING A DIRECTIONAL JET

摘要

A nozzle (22) for delivering texturized fibrous material into a chamber of a muffler has a body (26) including a texturized fibrous material passageway (28) and a separate directional jet passageway (30). A method of filling a chamber of a muffler with texturized fibrous material includes the steps of extending a wand (20) into the muffler so that a nozzle (22) on the wand is received in the chamber, discharging a stream of texturized fibrous material into the chamber from a first passageway (28) of the nozzle and discharging a directional jet (50) into the stream of texturized fibrous material from a second passageway (30) of a nozzle (22) whereby the stream of texturized fibrous material is redirected into a desired filling direction (52) to more efficiently fill the chamber.
