A fluid wand including a pistol grip, a nozzle and a tubular body communicating therebetween. The nozzle includes a hemispherical end wall adjacent a slit like opening configured as a rectangular box-like passageway and the piston grip maintains constant pressure on either side of an on/off valve. The emerging flow emanating therefrom is configured initially as an elongate ribbon which thereafter, due to enhanced cohesive forces engendered in a hemispherical end wall portion of the nozzle, causes the ribbon to reform as a substantially solid cylindrical shaft of fluid.

A fluid dispensing device comprising, in combination: a nozzle through which the fluid passes, an upstream conduit connected to said nozzle at one end and valve means at an opposite end, said valve means having a valve gate and a valve seat dimensioned such that, when said valve means is open, allowing the fluid to pass therebeyond, flow rate on both sides of said valve means is substantially equal, wherein said valve means includes a handle portion, a valve cavity and associated valve housing portion, and a barrel portion, passageways in said barrel and an interior of said handle of substantially identical circular cross-section, said handle including a trigger grip carried on a top surface and undulations on a bottom surface to facilitate manually grasping said handle, said trigger grip including a top wall overlying a portion of said barrel and downwardly extending side walls, said trigger grip pivoted to said barrel portion and said trigger grip\s cylindrical interior communicating with an opening in said valve housing portion, wherein said valve housing portion and said opening receives a free end of a valve stem to pass therethrough and underlie said trigger top wall, an O-ring circumscribing a portion of said stem and adjacent said top wall and in fluid-tight communication with an O-ring seat thereat, a valve wall medially disposed on said valve stem supporting a valve seal on a surface proximate to said O-ring, said valve seal juxtaposed to an integrally formed valve seat carried in said valve housing portion, whereby reciprocation of said valve stem by said trigger grip moves said valve seal and associated valve wall away from said valve seat from a closed to an open position, wherein said valve stem further includes a portion extending from said valve wall remote from said valve seal, said last named stem portion supporting a compression spring thereover and a free end of said compression spring residing within a recess carried on an end cap threadedly connected to a portion of said valve housing, whereby releasing said trigger grip automatically closes said valve, wherein said nozzle received fluid from said pistol grip and has an interior of circular cross section, and an end wall adjacent a nozzle slit is configured as a hemispherically shaped wall, wherein said nozzle slit is a rectangular box-like passageway, wherein said nozzle interior decreases in circular cross section as it approaches said hemispherical wall.
