ABSTRACT:
A water inlet nozzle is mounted to a clothes washer so that water exiting therefrom during the spray rinse cycle is directed onto a load of clothes which has circumferentially accumulated near the bottom of the wash basket during the drain and spin cycle. The water inlet nozzle has an upper member joined to a lower member which forms a dispersion chamber therebetween. The lower member includes an inclined bottom wall which tends to cause water flowing into the inlet nozzle to disperse laterally. The lower member also includes a cascade portion which is curved downwardly and has a transversely convex crown formed within its radius of curvature which induces some water to flow toward the lateral side walls of the lower member. The upper member has a curved forward wall and a front lip which is angled downwardly and rearwardly. A discharge orifice is formed between the terminal edges of the cascade portion and the front lip which is narrower near its center than it is at its edges. The front lip has a radius of curvature formed therein which is larger near the front lip's center than it is near its edges so that water exiting near the edges of the discharge orifice is directed more rearwardly than the water exiting near the center of the discharge orifice thereby forming an arcuate spray pattern. The edges of the spray pattern are directed higher upon the load of clothes in the wash basket than the center of the spray pattern which assures that the clothes are rinsed as thoroughly as practically possible during the spray rinse cycle.
