Abstract
A jetting opening for jetting a washer fluid is formed on a jet fitted under pressure in a nozzle body installed on a hood of a vehicle. The jetting opening is formed on a bottom of cross-shaped grooves formed at a front part of the jet. The jetting opening is slot-shaped and extends in a lengthwise direction thereof and communicates with the domed portion positioned at a front portion of a fluid passage for feeding the washer fluid to the jet. The area of the jetting opening is reduced by a reducing portion positioned at the center of the jetting opening in the lengthwise direction thereof. Both sides of the reducing portion are symmetrical with respect to a line passing through the center of the reducing portion and extending in the lengthwise direction of the reducing portion. Thus, the jetting opening is gourd-shaped.
