Abstract
Abstract A nozzle arrangement is provided which is especially adapted for spraying chemical solvent, abrasive, compressed air and/or water onto the surface of an automobile in order to prepare such surface for repainting. The nozzle arrangement generally includes at least a pair of nozzles and means for connecting the nozzles to each other in a manner such that the nozzles are disposed at an angle to a vertical plane passing through the connecting means to form a first variable V-shape and the nozzles are canted at an angle to a horizontal plane intersecting said vertical plane to form a second variable V-shape. Such a nozzle arrangement will provide a double taper multi-angle abrading action on the surface being treated to form a gradual concave or shallow-V shaped depression on such surface.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A nozzle arrangement adapted to be connected to a source of material to be sprayed, comprising, in combination, at least a pair of nozzles, and connecting means for connecting said nozzles to each other in a manner such that said nozzles are disposed at an angle to a vertical plane passing through said connecting means so as to form a first V-like shape and said nozzles are canted at an angle to a horizontal plane passing through said connecting means so as to form a second V-like shape.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words
A nozzle arrangement adapted to be connected to a source of material to be sprayed, comprising, in combination, at least a pair of nozzles, and connecting means for connecting said nozzles to each other in a manner such that said nozzles are disposed at an angle to a vertical plane passing through said connecting means so as to form a first V-like shape and said nozzles are canted at an angle to a horizontal plane passing through said connecting means so as to form a second V-like shape.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
The nozzle arrangement in accordance with claim 1 wherein said connecting means comprises at least first pivot means connecting said nozzles to each other in a manner such that said nozzles are at a variable angle to the vertical plane so that the area covered by said nozzles may be widened or narrowed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
57 words
The nozzle arrangement in accordance with claim 1 wherein said connecting means comprises at least second pivot means connecting said nozzles to each other in a manner such that said nozzles are canted at a variable angle to said horizontal plane so that the depth or taper of the area covered by said nozzles may be varied.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
71 words
The nozzle arrangement in accordance with claim 1 wherein said connecting means comprises pivot means connecting said nozzles together in a manner such that said nozzles are disposed at a variable angle to said vertical plane to form said first V-like shape which is variable in shape and said nozzles are canted at a variable angle to said horizontal plane to form said second V-like shape which is variable in shape.
