Abstract
An improved spray nozzle for use in, for example, fuel injection systems in internal combustion engines. The nozzle includes an element having a hollow interior in fluid communication with a liquid pressurizing device. At least one slit is located in the element and the sides of the slits are in abutment with each other for liquid pressures within the interior less than a predetermined value. Pressurizatin of the interior results in the sides of the slit being spaced from each other to permit the liquid to flow from the interior to generate a liquid spray pattern.
