Abstract

A spray head having a body provided with separate inlets for two fluids, the inlets having a common longitudinal axis and being in end abutting relation. One inlet leads to a chamber for receiving one of the fluids, the chamber being provided with means through which the fluid is discharged, and the other inlet leads to a post, manufactured simultaneously with the manufacture of the chamber and integral with the body. The post is located in the chamber and is hollow so that the other fluid is discharged therefrom by the aspirating action of the first, and the two fluids are commingled, the second fluid being atomized by the first. Various nozzle structures are disclosed from which the commingled discharges flow, the ultimate discharge being in the form of a cone, or a flat fan by the employment of opposed supplemental fluid jets, or non-circular in formation as shaped by appropriate terminus aperturing, or flattened and diverted by impact with an impingement surface in the path of the discharge.
