  • Publication number: 20020023975
    Abstract: A spraying nozzle is described which is provided with an outlet opening for forming a liquid jet and with an impact surface which is arranged behind this outlet opening in the flow direction, for generating a spray fan. The impact surface is constructed as a convexly curved surface of a tongue extending from the outlet opening into the liquid jet, the impact surface also being set at a setting angle &agr; with respect to the axis of the liquid jet emerging from the outlet opening.
