A device for spraying particulate material, comprises a nozzle (10) having an inlet for receiving particulate material under pressure and an outlet for discharging the material, and a housing (8) surrounding at least the outlet portion of the nozzle (10). Passages (30) defined between the housing (8) and the nozzle (10) having inlets to receive a wet fluid under pressure and terminate in an annular outlet zone (50) surrounding the outlet portion of the nozzle (10) whereby the particulate material discharged from the nozzle is surrounded by an annular stream of fluid discharged from the passages. The device may be used for sand blasting, with dry sand being discharged from the nozzle, (10), the sand being enveloped within an annular stream of water discharged from the outlet zone (50) in order to minimize dust formation. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A device for spraying particulate material, comprising a nozzle having an inlet for receiving particulate material and an outlet for discharging the material, a housing surrounding at least the outlet portion of the nozzle, said housing having a cylindrical inner surface in close proximity to the outer surface of the nozzle, and said housing having an outer end closely adjacent the outlet of the nozzle, said cylindrical inner surface having a plurality of grooves formed in and extending along the cylindrical inner surface of said housing, said grooves each being of constant cross-sectional shape and angularly spaced apart around the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical inner surface of said housing with each of said grooves having an inlet end comprising an angled port remote from the outlet of the nozzle and an outlet end closely adjacent to the outlet of the nozzle, means defining an annular water chamber communicating with parts to feed water under pressure into the grooves, said grooves defining with the outer surface of the nozzle a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart passages along which the water passes to be discharged in an unconfined stream which encloses and mixes with the outer layer of particulate matter discharged from the nozzle.
2.
A device according to claim 1, further comprising a socket, said housing having an inner end portion remote from the outer end, said inner end portion being within the socket, and screw means threadedly connected with the socket and releasably mounting the nozzle and the housing to the socket, said chamber being annular and being defined between the socket and the housing.
Description:
The present invention relates to spraying devices, and more particularly to spraying devices for use in sand blasting.
One problem of sand blasting using dry sand is the production of dust or an aerosol of a solid phase dispersed in a gaseous phase, during the sand blasting operation, which creates a health hazard or problem, such as for example silicosis, amongst the operator or people in the vicinity of the operation
