Abstract
Abstract A directional device for an orifice member having a minimum orifice diameter and an orifice outlet end is disclosed. The orifice member conducts the fluid in an outward direction through the orifice outlet end. The directional device directs the fluid in a predetermined direction toward a work area and has a longitudinal member provided with an outlet end and an inlet end. The inlet end of the longitudinal member has an inlet end diameter equal to or less than the minimum orifice diameter. Packing means are disposed between the inlet end and the orifice outlet end. The packing means has a bonding strength sufficient to secure the inlet end of the longitudinal member to the orifice member during the transmission of the fluid through the directional device but insufficient to prevent the removal of the directional device from the orifice member into the work area without damage to or movement of the orifice member. A directional member is connected to the outlet end of the longitudinal member for directing the fluid in the predetermined direction into the work area.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 23
Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
In combination: a. an orifice member having a minimum orifice diameter and an orifice outlet end and adapted to conduct a fluid in an outward direction through said orifice outlet end; b. a directional device for directing said fluid in a predetermined direction toward a work area and having: 1. a longitudinal member having an inlet end and an outlet end, a. said inlet end of said longitudinal member having an inlet end diameter equal to or less than said minumum orifice diameter, 2. packing means disposed between said inlet end of said longitudinal member and said orifice outlet end and having a bonding strength sufficient to secure said inlet end of said longitudinal member to said orifice member during transmission of said fluid through said directional device but insufficient to prevent the removal of said directional movement device from said orifice member into said work area without damage to or mont of said orifice member, and 3. a directional member connected to said outlet end of said longitudinal member for directing said fluid in said predetermined direction into said work area.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
182 words
In combination: a. an orifice member having a minimum orifice diameter and an orifice outlet end and adapted to conduct a fluid in an outward direction through said orifice outlet end; b. a directional device for directing said fluid in a predetermined direction toward a work area and having: 1. a longitudinal member having an inlet end and an outlet end, a. said inlet end of said longitudinal member having an inlet end diameter equal to or less than said minumum orifice diameter, 2. packing means disposed between said inlet end of said longitudinal member and said orifice outlet end and having a bonding strength sufficient to secure said inlet end of said longitudinal member to said orifice member during transmission of said fluid through said directional device but insufficient to prevent the removal of said directional movement device from said orifice member into said work area without damage to or mont of said orifice member, and 3. a directional member connected to said outlet end of said longitudinal member for directing said fluid in said predetermined direction into said work area.
