Abstract
This invention relates to a nozzle for dispensing and aerating liquids. The nozzle provides for the formation of a substantially hollow conical vortex which aspirates air into its interior. The vortex is formed within a chamber so that the base of the vortex impinges upon the chamber walls. This impingment results in the formation of a turbulent film which, when brought in contact with the aspirated air, results in aeration of the liquid forming the film. A foam like characteristic is given the liquid by the entrapment of the air as the liquid is dispensed.
