Abstract: A nozzle for a mist lubricator system has an emitter head located in a tubular housing. The emitter head has tapered passageways terminating at an end from which lubricant drops are directed to a target to be lubricated. The emitter head can be incorporated in lubricator systems of various types, including those utilizing a cycling feed metering system. A nozzle constructed in accordance with the present invention can be used in reduced airflow systems and exhibits substantially lessened lubricant loss during low and no airflow periods.

Abstract: An improved fluid jet nozzle, having particular utility in the textile field, has a body with an air inlet for a pressurized fluid, such as air, a manifold, and an outlet. The outlet is in the form of parallel series of outlet apertures, the apertures of a series being laterally offset from the outlet apertures of an adjacent series. The outlet apertures may be formed as portions of slots in shims mounted in the nozzle. The aperture configuration provides for better balance between overall flow uniformity and economical fluid usage.
