DEFINITION

Classification: 239/587.1

TERMINAL MEMBER ADJUSTABLY OR SHIFTABLY CONNECTED TO FLOW CONDUIT:

(under the class definition) Apparatus having joint means to change the relationship of the terminal outlet and connected flowline to adjust the position or to vary the direction of the terminal outlet.

(1) Note. Include herein are jointed or articulated nozzles having a downstream section movably connected to a serially related upstream section where both sections are at least nominally claimed as nozzle parts.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

229, for wriggler or flexible distributors having continuous movement relative a support during spraying.

265.35, for a reaction motor discharge nozzle comprising a member which may be selectively shifted to various positions to vary the line or course of fluid discharge with respect to a fixed axis.

266+, especially subclass 269 for spray pipes which may be movably coupled to another spray pipe.

279, for support means comprising a flow conduit only arranged to form a ground support for the nozzle. 525+, for flow line or nozzle attached or carried handgrips or holders.

537+, for a distributor in which the terminal member and a valve part move unitarily.

579, for a distributor in which movement of the terminal flow member controls a flow regulator in the fluid system.

285, Pipe Joints or Couplings, appropriate subclasses, especially

184+, for a nominally recited nozzle section connected by a coupling member to a conduit means which is not claimed as a nozzle section.
