SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,148, dated June 2, 1885.

Application led October 14, 1884.

.To laZZ whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, EDWIN E. ToMLrNsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State oi'Connecticut,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hose-Nozzles; and I do hereby declare the following to 'be a full, clear, and exactdcscription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the 1o art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to certain novel and useful improvements in hose-nozzles; and it has for its object to provide a nozzle by means of i5 which the water from the hose may be regulated and controlled so that it will issue either in the form of coarse spray, ne spray, or in a solid stream, and, furthermore, to provide a nozzle which may be readily turned to adjust the flow irrespective of the pressure of the waterin thehosc; and with these ends in view my invention consists in the details of construction and combination of elements hereinafter fully and in detail explained, and then specifically designated by the claims.

In order that those skilled in the art to which my invention appertains may more fully understand its construction and operation, I will proceed to describe the same in detail, referring by letter to the accompany'- ing drawing forming a part of this specification, and which shows a central vertical section of my improved nozzle.

A is a sleeve of metal, provided at B with an opening for the exit of the water, and ilaring outward from that point. The lower end of this sleeve passes through a threaded collar, C, and a metal band, D, secured to the eX- treniity 'of the sleeve by pin E, holds it within the collar, but permits said sleeve to be readily rotated. Fis also a sleeve, threaded externally at its upper portion to hold the collar C, and internally at its lower portion for at tachment to the hose.

At the interior central portion of sleeve F is out a thread having a steep pitch, and with this thread engages the threaded lower end of the spindle G. This spindle is hollow from its lower end to the openings H, from which 5o point to its upper extremity it is solid.

(No model.)

At I are slots out through the hollow body of the spindle, and the pin E, passing through them, holds the sleeve and spindle together so far as any rotary motion is concerned. The spindle is, however, capable of a longitudinal 5 5 movement within sleeve A, as far as the pin E, sliding in slots I, will permit.

The conical head .I of the spindle is of such size as to pass readily through the opening B, and the shoulders K are arranged to seat 6e at the opening and so entirely close the same.

The operation of my invention is as follows: As will be readily understood, the turning of sleeve A, and the consequent rotation of the spindle within, will cause the head of the lat- 6 5 ter to be either drawn back from or protruded through the opening B. Vfhen drawn back through the opening and within the sleeve as far as the movement of the pin E in the slot I will admit, the conical head is far enough 7o from the opening to allow the water, which comes up through the hollow spindle and the openings H, to issue in a solid stream. Moving the spindle toward the opening causes the cone-shaped head to break up the column of waterinto spray, liner as the shoulders approach their seat, until the flow of water is shut off entirely.

I am well aware that nozzles using an interior spindle moving longitudinally within the 8o body of the device as a means of increasing or decreasing the flow of water have heretofore been used, as see the patent to Clemens, No. 174,781, of March 14th, 1876, and I do not wish to be understood as laying claim, broadly, tothe construction embodied therein. The gist of my invention rests in the device employed for giving to the spindle the desired longitudinal mot-ion within the sleeve, readily, easily, and irrespective of the press- 9o ure at which the water is forced through the hose.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, with the rotatable sleeve A, of the spindle having the solid head and hollow body portion provided with openings II, and fitting said sleeve, and a pin xed to the sleeve passing through slots in roo the hollow portion of the spindle and upon 3.
