Abstract

TITLE: A DEVICE FOR PROJECTING A CLEAN, SMOOTH CONSTANT DIAMETER SOLID COLUMN OF WATER. This invention relaes to a device for projecting a clean, smooth, constant diameter solid column of water comprising a container having an entry poing for water under pressure and an exit point for exit of solid column of water, a deflector disposed radially in the said container to direct the water to flow through a three dimensional plastic mesh disposed centrally in said container, the velocity of said water is successively reduced at said deflector and said three dimensional plastic mesh flow into a chamber disposed at one end of said container to flow out as a solid column of water through a circular aperture having a sharp edge and a shaped chamber.

This invention relates to a device for projecting a clean, smooth, constant diameter solid column of water. PRIOR ART A conventional nozzle projects a jet of water which almost immediately after exiting from the nozzle starts to break up so that the jet or column of water becomes wider with distance and is also composed of small individual droplets. BRIEF DESCRIPTION Therefore the main object of the present invention of a device which produces a unique jet or column of water which does not break up, remains solid and of the same diameter fromthe start to almost the finish. 3. According to the present invention there is provided a device for projecting a clean, smooth, constant diameter solid column of water comprising a container having an entry point for water under pressure and an exit point for exit of solid column of water, a deflector disposed radially in the said container to direct the water to flow through a three dimensional plastic mesh disposed centrally in said container, the velocity of said water is successively reduced at said deflector and said three dimensional plastic mesh flow into a chamber disposed at one end of said container to flow out as a solid column of water through a circular aperture having a sharp edge and a shaped chamfer. The nature of the invention, its objective and further advantages residing in the same will be apparent from the following description made with reference to the non limiting exemplary embodiments of the invention represented in the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 shows the sectional elevation of the device. Figure 2 shows the end view of section BB of the device of DETAIL DESCRIPTION The device consist of a container (1) of circular shape whereby water at a certain pressure enters at one point (2) and the solid column of water exists from another point (3). There is a deflector (4) which is semicircular in shape and centrally disposed in the container (1) in front of the entry point(2). The deflector (4) is axially shifted from the central axis of the container (1) so that one end of the deflector (4) is in contact with the inside wall of the container (1) and the other end is in contact with the outside wall of a chamber having a plastic mesh (5). The deflector (4) serves two purposes: to direct the water in one direction and to slow down the velocity. The water then flows through a three dimensional plastic mesh (5) which further slows the velocity and removes all turulence. The water flows out of the three dimensional plastic mesh (5) into a chamber (6) formed at the end. It then flows out as a solid column of water (7) through a circular aperture (8) having a very sharp edge and a specially shaped chamfer. Additionally, disposed centrally in the container (1) and near the chamber (6) , the invention includes a separate light (plain or coloured) such that the light (9) shines through the solid column of water (7) and it appears as one column of light or of colour throughout its length. Also by provision of a suitable mechanism on the outside face of the exit hole (10) the column of water can be interrupted at variable frequency such that the column appears to be cut into individual pieces. The effect is of individual and variable lengths of water being projected through the air (11). The invention described hereinabove is in relation to the non-limiting embodiments and as defined in the accompanying claims. WE CLAIM; 1. A device for projecting a clean, smooth, constant diameter solid column of water comprising a container (1) having an entry point (2) for water under pressure and an exit point (3) for exit of solid column of water, a deflector (4) disposed radially in the said container (1) to direct the water to flow through a three dimensional plastic mesh (5) disposed centrally in said container (1), the velocity of said water is successively reduced at said deflector (4) and said three dimensional plastic mesh (5) flows into a chamber (6) disposed at one end of said container (l) to flow out as a solid column of water (7) through a circular aperture (8) having a sharp edge and a shaped chamfer. 2. The device for projecting a clean, smooth, constant diameter solid column of water as claimed in claim 1 wherein said container (1) is provided with a light (a) disposed centrally near said chamber (6) which shines through the solid column of water (7) appearing as one column of light. 3. The device for projecting a clear,smooth, constant diameter solid column of water as claimed in claims 1 and 2 wherein said light (9) may be coloured so that said column of water (7) appears as one column of colour throughout its length projected through the air (11). 4. The device for projecting a clean, smooth, constant diameter solid column of water as claimed in claims 1 to 3 wherein said column of water (7) is interrupted at variable frequency such that the column of water (7) appears to be cut into individual pieces projected through the air (11). 5. A device for projecting a clear, smooth, constant diameter solid column of water as herein described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings. This invention relates to a device for projecting a clean, smooth, constant diamter solid column of water comprising a container (1) having an entry point (2) for water under pressure and an exit point (3) for exit of solid column of water, a deflector (4) disposed radially in the said container to direct the water to flow through a three dimensional plastic mesh (5) disposed centrally in said container (1), the velocity of said water is successively reduced at said deflector (4) and said three dimensional plastic mesh (5) flow into a chamber (6) disposed at one end of said container (1) to flow out as a solid column of water (7) through a circular aperture (8) having a sharp edge and a shaped chamber.
