Abstract
A nozzle is provided which is capable of varying the direction of discharge of a fluid. As shown in FIG. 2 the nozzle 11 has sidewalls defining a circular opening 12 and a plug 14 mounted within the nozzle for transverse movement in the plane of the nozzle outlet. Thus a component of velocity can be imparted to the jet in any direction around 360° in the plane of the nozzle outlet. Operation of the nozzle is by means of a plurality of piston-in-cylinder devices 18,20 acting between the plug 14 and the nozzle sidewalls. The plug is mounted on an arm 15 in a universal joint 16.
