A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11850609B2) discloses a unique spray head design comprising an inlet, a plurality of nozzles, and impingement surface portions. Each nozzle produces a jet of fluid directed towards an impingement surface, where the fluid breaks into droplets. The nozzles are divided into sets, each set directed towards a specific impingement surface portion at different angles, resulting in streams of droplets with varying geometric centerlines. The design also includes specific positioning of the nozzles relative to the impingement surface portions to ensure optimal impact and droplet formation.

Furthermore, the patent details additional features such as the alignment of the nozzles, the configuration of the impingement surfaces to form droplets with elongate transverse cross-sections, and the arrangement of the nozzles along a curved line. The spray head design also includes an outer housing with a central void and a handle portion for ease of use. The impingement surface portions are described as continuous flat surfaces, contributing to the efficient formation of droplets. Overall, the patent highlights a novel spray head design that optimizes fluid dispersion and droplet formation for various applications.
