My invention relates to improvements in spray forming devices and the object of my invention isto provide a spray forming device of simple, cheap and efficient construe-A I operation.

tion that may be connected with a hoseor Y.

conduit through which water under pressure Fig2`is a view partly in section and partly in elevation on a llarger'scale of the saine, certain portions being broken away.

Referring to the drawings, throughout which like'refere'nce numerals designate like \parts, 'designates ya tube connected at one end with anozzle member 6 havinga tubular passageway 7 that terminates in a discharge orifice 9 of restricted area. A triangularly shaped spray forming member or bathe plate 10 is supported in front of diseharge orifice 9 by a wire 11 that extends through a suitable hole in a lug 12 on nozzle member 6 and is adjustably secured to said lug'12 by a screw 13. A` slip collar 14 on .nozzle 6 and movable longitudinally thereof,

serves to adjust wire 11, thereby governing the position of spra/y forming plate 10 and thus 'regulating the spray that is formed by said platerom the liquid discharging from oricev9.

The' inlet endot pipe 5is connected with avalve 15, which may be connected with a hose' or conduit 16 through which water under pressure mai;or be supplied. f. Nozzle member 6 has a tubular branch i conduit 8 extending therefrom and inclined toward the rear end of saidmozzle, the co'nduit 8 being connected byfa flexible connector orvhose 17 with a bell shaped suct-ioI which liquid, as chemical for forming a .suit-- gable spray'may be contained.. The suction.

member 18 A has notches-19` in its p1eripheralA portions around the bottom edge so that when it is placed on the bottom of container 21, liquid may enter through the notches 19, v

it being practically impossible to obstruct the entrance ot such liquid.

A disc 20, preferably of rubber, is provided on nozzle 6 just to the. rear of lug 12 tojprevent liquid from the spray nozzle from flowing backwardly rlown nozzle 6 and pipe 5 and .getting onto the hands or person ot the operator of the device.

In operation, the device may be connected with a hose 16 asfshown, the bail of container 21 may be placed over the valve member 15 orpipe' whereby the cont-ainer'will be sup-f ported, and the suction member 18 may be placed in the container. Flow ot water nnd`er pressure through nozzle 7 will cause solution from container 21 to'be drawn upwardly through hose 17 and passageway into nozzle 7 where said solution will be mixed with esv the water thereby forming a proper spray. 1

The solution and water being discharged from-orifice 9 will strike forcibly against spray forming member 10 thus breaking the said water and solution up into a l finely divided spray and directing it outwardly in the proper manner. The position of spray ffo'rming member 10 may be quickly and easily regulated by slip ring 14: which is movable toward and away from lug 12 andY which serves when so moved to bend or flex wire 11 thereby varying the i angular position of spray. formino member 10-. ,Wire 1l may, also be. adjusted by looseningscrew 13 and moving said wire within lug 1,2 to bring` sprayforming member l() closer to or farther away from orifice 9.

It 'will be obvious that by attaching the spray member 10 with a wire 11 to the lug 12 the spray may be raised by the movement of the ring 14 toward thF-leit -forin doing so the wire. 11 is thereby made more resilient and w-hen the force 'of the water and solution strikes the memberllO it will cause a coarser spray than the member 1() will when inthe position shownV in Fig. 2.

lThe foregoing description vand accompanying. drawings clearly Adisclose a. preferred embodiment ofmyinvention butit will be understood that' this disclosure is merely illustrative and that numerous changes may be made within thel scope following claim. y r

Ivclaim: 1 Y

In a spraying device, a nozzle, a lugon and spirit4 of the' said nozzle, av wirev adjustablysecured to said lug in spaced relation to the body of said said collar being of an internal diameter subnozzle and extending beyond the discharge stantially equalling the diameter of the nozend of the nozzle, a spray forming member zle plus the thickness of the Wire. 10 on the outer end of said Wire and supported In witness' whereof, I hereunto subscribe 5 solely thereby, and a slip collar disposed on my name this 9th day of January A. D. 1925.

said nozzle and over said Wire and adapted l to be moved longitudinally on said nozzle, SAMUELfL. SMITH.
