Abstract
The invention relates to a spray nozzle comprising an elastomeric tube () comprising a proximal end () through which a fluid is intended to enter said tube (), and a distal end (). The spray nozzle also comprises a slit () formed in the elastomeric tube () between the proximal end () and the distal end (), for spraying the fluid out from the elastomeric tube (). The elastomeric tube () includes a reinforcing element () for limiting deformation of the elastomeric tube (). By providing a slit in a tube between the proximal and distal ends of the tube, the slit can be sized to provide a broad spread pattern to the spray. The reinforcing element prevents over-expansion or deformation of the elastomeric tube.
