Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A controlled droplet application (CDA) nozzle has a CDA nozzle cone having a first axis of rotation in a first position and, after adjustment, a second axis of rotation in a second position orthogonal to the first. A rotationally adjustable directional shroud surrounds at least a portion of the cone, the directional shroud blocking at least a portion of a lip of the cone regardless of whether the cone is positioned in the first or second axis of rotation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

At least the following is claimed: 1. A controlled droplet application (CDA) system, comprising: a frame; and a CDA nozzle adjustably coupled to the frame, the CDA nozzle comprising a cone that is movable relative the frame between a first position having a first axis of rotation and second position having a second axis of rotation wherein the second axis of rotation is orthogonal to the first axis of rotation, wherein the CDA nozzle further comprises a directional shroud, the directional shroud comprising a single arc, the single arc covering all but a single contiguous portion of a product-dispersing lip of the cone. 2. The CDA system of claim 1 , wherein the directional shroud further comprises an aperture disposed where the single arc is not. 3. The CDA system of claim 1 , wherein the directional shroud is rotatable. 4. The CDA system of claim 1 , wherein the cone comprises an additional axis of rotation in a third position.
