Abstract

A nozzle assembly for connecting to the outlet of a fluid flow source and providing a specified fluid flow spray includes: (a) a connector having a flow passage which extends between its ends, with the connector's upstream end being configured so as to mate with the fluid flow source's outlet, and with this connector passage at a point between its ends having a connector orifice, (b) a nozzle in the form of a fluidic insert configured so as to generate a specified fluid flow spray, (c) a housing having a fluid flow passage which extends between its ends and a rib which extends outwardly from the housing's exterior surface, with the portion of the housing's passage proximate its downstream end being configured so as to allow for the insertion and housing of the fluidic insert, and with the housing's upstream end being configured so as to be rotatably mounted in the connector fluid flow passage's downstream end, and (d) a retention cap having an opening extending between its ends that is configured to allow the housing downstream end to project through the opening, with the cap's upstream end being configured to mate with the housing's rib and the connector downstream end so as to hold the housing and connector in a proximal relationship which aids in preventing fluid flow leakage at their junction.
