Abstract
An external bushing for the outlet end of a nozzle spout having a generally tubular body defining an inner cavity which includes a first section and a concentric second section. There is a first open end at the first section and a second open end at the second section. The second section has an end wall which slightly reduces the diameter of the second open end. The outside diameter of the first section is greater than the outside diameter of the second section. The inner diameter of the tubular body is generally constant from the first open end to the second open end and is approximately the same as the outside diameter of a dispensing nozzle spout. However there is groove formed in the inner surface of the tubular body at the approximate juncture of the first and second sections. The bushing is applied over the discharge end of a nozzle spout and attached by an internal swage operation which presses some spout material into the internal groove.
