Abstract

An outlet hood ( 1 ) for mounting at an end of an outlet duct ( 3 ) of a spraying device for highly viscous or gel-like media. The bottom ( 7 ) of the outlet hood ( 1 ) has a uniform thickness and is provided with outlet openings ( 8 ) which diverge relative to each other. The bottom of the outlet hood ( 1 ) is outwardly arched and the outlet openings ( 8 ) have a uniform cross section over their entire length which corresponds to the thickness of the bottom ( 7 ), and the outlet openings ( 8 ) are arranged distributed over the bottom ( 7 ).

Claims (13)

1. An outlet hood ( 1 ) for mounting at an end of an outlet duct ( 3 ) of a spraying device for highly viscous or gel-like media, wherein the outlet hood ( 1 ) comprises a bottom ( 7 ) having a uniform thickness and provided with outlet openings ( 8 ) which diverge relative to each other, wherein the bottom ( 7 ) is outwardly arched and the outlet openings ( 8 ) have over an entire length thereof which corresponds to the thickness of the bottom ( 7 ) a uniform cross section, and wherein the outlet openings ( 8 ) are uniformly distributed over the bottom ( 7 ), wherein the outlet openings ( 8 ) have a round cross section, and wherein the cross section diameter is between 5 and 50 micrometers.
