Abstract
A spray nozzle for an electric iron includes a nozzle cap having an outlet orifice formed in an end wall thereof. The cap includes an axially extending cylindrical wall defining an axially extending bore. A fluid delivery tube is provided in the bore. The inside surface of the end wall includes at least two circumferentially spaced raised pads. The sides of adjacent pads define slots therebetween. A substantially flat disc-like member is disposed in the bore adjacent the pads. The diameter of the member is somewhat less than the diameter of the bore to define a circumferentially extending groove. The opposed surfaces of the end wall and the member define a cavity. The pads define the radially inner circumferential border of the cavity. The slots formed between adjacent pads are disposed on lines that are tangent to the cavity. The end of the fluid delivery tube is notched to form 'V'-shaped surfaces. The ends of the legs of the 'V' are in engagement with the confronting surface of the disc-like member to move the member into engagement with the pads.
