Abstract
Abstract A dual purpose nozzle adapted to be attached to a blow gun or the like such that the blow gun can then be used for several functions; namely, to provide a high velocity jet of air for cleaning purposes and also to enable inflation of pneumatic tires or the like, thereby eliminating the need for repair shops to have to provide separate equipment for the two functions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
231 words
A nozzle adapted to attach to a blow gun so as to convert the blow gun to dual purpose utility, comprising: a tubular body having an end face and further including a bore extending axially from one end to the other end of said body; a depressor within said bore, and means in the form of a shoulder formed in the bore for restraining axial movement of said depressor; said depressor including a pin extending axially and of such length as to engage a pin on a tire valve when such valve is inserted into the other end of said body; said depressor further including a disc integrally formed with said pin, and at least one opening in said disc for permitting air to flow substantially unrestrictedly from the one end of said tubular body to the other; threads at said one end of the tubular body for engagement with corresponding threads in said blow gun so that said nozzle will have its longitudinal axis coincide with the longitudinal axis of the blow gun; a sealing washer fitting against said depressor; a retainer ring abutting said sealing washer, said retainer ring having a first portion threadedly engaged with the other end of said body, adjacent said end face, and a second portion extending axially beyond said end face said second portion including apertures extending radially therethrough to provide a safety measure.
