  • Fluid nozzle having a swirl unit and orifice plate, and means for facilitating assembly thereof
    Patent number: 5934569
    Abstract: In a spray nozzle, a carrier defines a spray aperture, a groove surrounding the spray aperture for receiving an o-ring, a first locating bore for slidably receiving an orifice plate seated against the o-ring and for aligning the orifice plate with the spray aperture, and a second locating bore for slidably receiving a swirl unit and aligning the swirl unit with the orifice plate and spray aperture. A pair of retaining lugs project inwardly from the carrier a predetermined distance for engaging the upstream end of the swirl unit to thereby retain the swirl unit and orifice plate within the carrier. The swirl unit defines on its peripheral surface a recessed flat which is aligned with the retaining lugs to thereby clear the lugs upon inserting the swirl unit into the carrier. An elongated slot is formed on the upstream end of the swirl unit for receiving a screw driver.
