Abstract
Abstract A fan jet nozzle for surface coating, particularly for high-pressure spraying, is created whose inside dome is not fashioned rotationally-symmetrical. The dome interior is semicircular in the one plane of section in which the nozzle slot extends, but is ogive in the plane perpendicular thereto, the plane which is perpendicular to the lengthwise plane of the fan jet nozzle slot. The two sections, semicircular and ogive, steadily verge into one another around the center axis of the nozzle. The dome configuration results in less wear from abrasion of spraying fluid through the nozzle slot, in particular, onto the wall edge between the dome and the nozzle slot.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
235 words
In a fan jet nozzle for sprayer devices having a cylindrical liquid delivery channel and a nozzle slot, whereby the cylindrical channel terminates in an interior dome and whereby the nozzle slot cuts into the dome, the improvement comprising: the dome is rotational-asymmetrically fashioned with respect to a center axis of the nozzle such that the dome has a semicircular cross section only in a first plane of section through said center axis of the nozzle, said first plane coinciding with a lengthwise plane of the nozzle slot, and said dome has a second cross section in the form of an ogive in a second plane of section through said center axis of the nozzle, said second plane perpendicular relative to said first plane, said ogive being formed of two sub-circles that proceed from a common point on the center axis of said nozzle, said common point coincides with an intersection point of said semicircular cross section in said first plane of section with the center axis of the nozzle and, proceeding symmetrically at both sides of said axis, said sub-circles enter tangentially into said cylindrical channel, whereby the radius of each of the sub-circles is larger than a semicircle radius of the semicircular cross section of said first plane of section; and said dome steadily verges in cross section around said center axis of the nozzle between said semicircular and said ogive cross sections.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
235 words
In a fan jet nozzle for sprayer devices having a cylindrical liquid delivery channel and a nozzle slot, whereby the cylindrical channel terminates in an interior dome and whereby the nozzle slot cuts into the dome, the improvement comprising: the dome is rotational-asymmetrically fashioned with respect to a center axis of the nozzle such that the dome has a semicircular cross section only in a first plane of section through said center axis of the nozzle, said first plane coinciding with a lengthwise plane of the nozzle slot, and said dome has a second cross section in the form of an ogive in a second plane of section through said center axis of the nozzle, said second plane perpendicular relative to said first plane, said ogive being formed of two sub-circles that proceed from a common point on the center axis of said nozzle, said common point coincides with an intersection point of said semicircular cross section in said first plane of section with the center axis of the nozzle and, proceeding symmetrically at both sides of said axis, said sub-circles enter tangentially into said cylindrical channel, whereby the radius of each of the sub-circles is larger than a semicircle radius of the semicircular cross section of said first plane of section; and said dome steadily verges in cross section around said center axis of the nozzle between said semicircular and said ogive cross sections.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The improvement of claim 1, wherein the ratio of the sub-circle radii of said ogive cross section to the semicircle radius of the semicircular cross section are between 1.4:1 and 3.0:1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
123 words
In a fan jet nozzle for sprayer devices having a cylindrical liquid delivery channel and a nozzle slot, whereby the cylindrical liquid delivery channel terminates in an interior dome and whereby the nozzle slot cuts into the dome, the improvement comprising: the dome is rotational-asymmetrically fashioned about a center axis at said nozzle, having an ogive cross section in a place of section perpendicular to a lengthwise plane of the nozzle slot; and wherein said ogive cross section is formed of two sub-circles that proceed from a common point on the center axis of the nozzle, said two sub-circles having radii which are greater than a radii of said cylindrical channel, said two sub-circles proceed tangentially into merging relationship with said cylindrical channel.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
123 words
In a fan jet nozzle for sprayer devices having a cylindrical liquid delivery channel and a nozzle slot, whereby the cylindrical liquid delivery channel terminates in an interior dome and whereby the nozzle slot cuts into the dome, the improvement comprising: the dome is rotational-asymmetrically fashioned about a center axis at said nozzle, having an ogive cross section in a place of section perpendicular to a lengthwise plane of the nozzle slot; and wherein said ogive cross section is formed of two sub-circles that proceed from a common point on the center axis of the nozzle, said two sub-circles having radii which are greater than a radii of said cylindrical channel, said two sub-circles proceed tangentially into merging relationship with said cylindrical channel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
The improvement of claim 3, wherein said dome comprises a semicircular cross section in a plane of section which coincides with said lengthwise plane of said nozzle slot.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
The improvement of claim 6, wherein said common point coincides with an intersection of said semicircular cross section with the center axis of said nozzle.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
The improvement of claim 5, wherein the ratio of the sub-circle radii of said ogive cross section to the semicircle radius of the semicircular cross section are between 1.4:1 and 3.0:1.
