Patent number: 9259746Abstract: An adjustable nozzle comprising a nozzle body with an inlet, an outlet and a flow chamber having a smooth bore extending between the inlet and the outlet. An elastic water impervious material is in fluid communication with the inlet and is tapered and is able to expand due to its elasticity. An adjustable non-rusting member connected to the nozzle body expands or constricts to either increase or decrease the inner diameter of the nozzle body to adjust the flow rate through the nozzle.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2014Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: WaterShield LLCInventor: Robert M. Marino

Patent number: 8002201Abstract: A device and method are provided for regulating two types of flow from a nozzle. The first flow is a deluge stream and the second flow is a fog spray. The deluge stream is controlled by the nozzle operator using a first flow control valve, such as a ball valve. The fog spray is controlled by the nozzle operator using a second flow control valve. The nozzle permits the nozzle operator to manually control the flow of the nozzle, thereby permitting quick regulation and adjustment of flow types and amounts to accommodate then existing fluid pressure and supply conditions to address fluid application needs.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2008Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Watershield LLCInventor: Robert M. Marino
