ABSTRACT:
Adjustable nozzles for directing a solid-stream of fluid and associated methods for using the same are provided. According to one embodiment, the adjustable nozzle includes a base member having an aperture therethrough defining a nozzle inlet. The nozzle includes a plurality of elongate vanes each having first and second ends. The first ends of the vanes extend from the base member in a circumferential configuration so as to form an interior region. The second ends of the vanes are operable to define an expandable nozzle outlet. The nozzle includes a liner extending from the nozzle inlet to the nozzle outlet within the interior region. The liner is structured to direct the fluid from the nozzle inlet to the nozzle outlet. Each of the plurality of vanes is biased towards the liner to thereby support the liner and control the flow of the fluid therethrough.
