Ball And Socket Flow Connection Patents (Class 239/587.4)
  • Patent number: 6178570
    Abstract: The system includes a jet, a rotating member or “eyeball” housing a series of discharge nozzles that can be adjusted to vary the location of an outlet flow stream as well as the direction and speed of the eyeball's rotation. A high pressure water jet flows into the eyeball and exits through the discharge nozzles. Depending upon the adjustable orientation of the nozzles, relative to the rest of the eyeball, the eyeball can be rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise, and at varying speeds. The discharge nozzles are further positionable to permit them to be displaced in a common direction.
