Abstract

A monolithic 3-D printed nozzle assembly that produces a variable water pattern includes a first translucent hollow section portion that receives a first stream of water and provides a linear stream of water moving along a longitudinal axis of the first section. A translucent tangential injector portion integrally formed with the first section defines at least one passageway. The injector portion receives a second stream of water and directs it to rotate about a rotational axis using the passageway(s). A second translucent hollow section portion integrally extends from the first section and receives the linear stream of water from the first section and the second stream of water rotating about the rotational axis from the tangential injector, providing a third stream of water formed therefrom. A third translucent hollow section portion integrally extends from the second section and receives the third stream of water, directing it to an exterior environment.
