Abstract
Abstract A fire-fighting cannon nozzle assembly comprisees first and second feed conduits which become coaxial in a rotary sleeve assembly and extend through a body assembly and also through a swivel joint assembly for simultaneous projection of two fire-fighting agents. The rotary sleeve assembly provides for rotary movement of the body assembly about a vertical axis and the swivel joint assembly provides for rotary movement of the discharge nozzles about a horizontal axis.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A fire-fighting cannon nozzle assembly for simultaneous discharge of two fire-fighting agents, comprising: a body assembly; a pair of substantially coaxial nozzle conduits for said agents in the body assembly; feed conduits for said agents; nozzle discharge means adapted to allow outlet of said agents; and means for rotary movement of said body assembly in a horizontal plane, said body assembly being further provided with a swivel joint means; said swivel joint means accomodating of said pair of nozzle conduits and allowing for rotary movement of part of said nozzle assembly in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis, each nozzle conduit being provided with a rotary and sealing sleeve for the simultaneous rotary movement of said body assembly about a vertical axis.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
123 words
A fire-fighting cannon nozzle assembly for simultaneous discharge of two fire-fighting agents, comprising: a body assembly; a pair of substantially coaxial nozzle conduits for said agents in the body assembly; feed conduits for said agents; nozzle discharge means adapted to allow outlet of said agents; and means for rotary movement of said body assembly in a horizontal plane, said body assembly being further provided with a swivel joint means; said swivel joint means accomodating of said pair of nozzle conduits and allowing for rotary movement of part of said nozzle assembly in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis, each nozzle conduit being provided with a rotary and sealing sleeve for the simultaneous rotary movement of said body assembly about a vertical axis.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
126 words
A fire-fighting cannon nozzle assembly according to claim 1, wherein: said body assembly is provided with a first end connected to an assembly of said rotary and sealing sleeves; said rotary and sealing sleeve assembly housing the two feeding conduits; said conduits being separate from each other for receiving the separate agent flows free from mixture within said body assembly and being rotatable during use of the nozzle assembly about the vertical axis of said sleeve assembly; a second end of said body assembly being provided with said swivel joint assembly, and said nozzle conduits being in coaxial relationship within said swivel joint assembly; and said nozzle discharge means being in fluid communication with said swivel joint assembly and being rotatable about the horizontal axis thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
An assembly according to claim 2 wherein said discharge conduit means are substantially coaxial with each other and are each connected to a respective non-coaxial discharge conduit member for discharge and projection of the respective said agent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
A fire-fighting cannon nozzle assembly according to claim 1, wherein: said pair of substantially coaxial conduits comprises an outer annular conduit and an inner conduit, each respective conduits being connected to a respective feed conduit.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
An assembly according to claim 4 wherein the outer annular conduit means is formed by a body portion of the body assembly.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
An assembly according to claim 5 wherein the inner conduit means is formed by a flexible tube within the body portion.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
An assembly according to claim 6 wherein said inner conduit flexible tube is fixed to a smooth bearing and connection sleeve held substantially coaxially within the outer annular conduit by holding members.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
28 words
An assembly according to claim 4 wherein the outer annular conduit is fixed on an outer part of said rotary sleeve assembly, which is provided with sealing means.
