Fluid-abrasive nozzle device
| Details |
Inventors: Watson, John D.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Smith; Gary L.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: LoJacono, Sr.; Francis X.
A fluid-abrasive nozzle adapted for use as a controlled discharge means in combination with a high-pressure system for discharging a fluid-abrasive stream at a high velocity, whereby unwanted material on a given surface can be removed, or wherein the texture or physical characteristics of such surface can be altered by the controlled discharge from the nozzle, the nozzle being removably mounted to a gun-like support handle. Fluid under high pressure and flow is pumped through a pressure port in the main body and through a plurality of controlled-diameter orifices positioned annularly about a discharge ring in an inclined plane, whereby the fluid passing therethrough converges toward a common point downstream thereof. The high-velocity fluid streams leaving the front of the discharge ring pass through respective clearance holes formed in a centrally disposed piston whereby a venturi effect and resulting negative pressure are created by the cone-shaped spray formed by the converging fluid streams. This negative pressure allows the abrasive or other agents to be drawn through the central passage of the piston, thereby introducing the abrasive into the fluid streams to intermediate and produce an effective blasting pattern of the desired size and shape. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A fluid-abrasive nozzle device removably attacked to a gun-like structure for use in high-velocity, high-pressure fluid-pump systems, including an abrasive material, wherein the nozzle comprises: a main body having a fluid-inlet passage and a pressure chamber formed therein, said inlet communicating with said pressure chamber and connected to said liquid pump system; abrasive inlet means having a discharge end, said inlet means mounted within said main body to allow flow of abrasive material through said nozzle device; fluid-discharge means disposed adjacent said pressure chamber and including a plurality of predetermined sized orifices disposed in said fluid discharge means and communicating with said pressure chamber; a mixing chamber positioned at the discharge end of said abrasive inlet means and said fluid-discharge means, wherein said abrasive material is intermingled with the liquid being discharged through said orifices; wherein said fluid-discharge means comprises an annular discharge ring having said orifices equally spaced apart from each other in a circular arrangement around said ring, said orifices being inclined inwardly and forwardly of said chamber, wherein high-velocity fluid streams are discharged into said mixing chamber, said fluid and said abrasive material being commingled to be discharged in a homogeneous manner; wherein said abrasive inlet means comprises: a piston having a central passage therethrough to provide flow of said abrasive material through said nozzle; a piston head having a plurality of holes therethrough arranged in aligned relationship with said orifices of said discharge ring, said holes communicating with said mixing chamber whereby fluid from said orifices pass through said holes into said chamber.
2.
A nozzle device as recited in claim 1, wherein said fluid being discharged from said orifices forms a conical-shaped high-velocity spray of a plurality of fluid streams converging within said mixing chamber, said spray creating a vacuum in said mixing chamber whereby said abrasive is drawn therein to intermingle with said fluids to be discharged from said chamber in a controlled pattern
