Abstract: A water jet apparatus for propelling a boat. The water jet apparatus has a mechanism for adjusting the size of the outlet of the exit nozzle. The size of the outlet is increased to provide initial thrust and decreased for high speed. A smaller opening is also desirable for low-speed maneuvering. A cone made of resilient material is mounted to the stator hub. A hydraulically driven piston causes the resilient cone to elongate. This changes the shape of the cone and the position of the cone in relation to the exit nozzle outlet. When the resilient cone is elongated, the area of the exit nozzle outlet is decreased.

Abstract: A water jet apparatus having a mechanism for providing additional lateral thrust when a boat is moving in reverse. A steering nozzle is pivotably mounted at and in flow communication with the outlet of a flow-through housing, and has a pair of opposing side thrust nozzles. The water flow exiting the steering nozzle is reversed by a reverse gate which covers the main outlet of the steering nozzle and by a reverse nozzle incorporated as part of the steering nozzle. The reversed flow exits the steering nozzle via the reverse nozzle, which directs the reversed flow forward and downward. When the steering nozzle is turned a predetermined angle to one side in reverse, the side thrust nozzle on the opposing side is swung into the path of water flow exiting the housing outlet. In this position, the side thrust nozzle directs a portion of the flow exiting the housing outlet in a direction approximately at a right angle relative to the centerline of the turned steering nozzle to provide additional lateral thrust directed toward the one side.

Abstract translation: 一种喷水装置，具有当船反向移动时提供额外的横向推力的机构。 转向喷嘴可枢转地安装在流通壳体的出口处并与其流动连通，并且具有一对相对的侧面推力喷嘴。 离开转向喷嘴的水流被覆盖转向喷嘴的主出口的反向门和作为转向喷嘴的一部分结合的反向喷嘴相反。 逆流通过反向喷嘴离开转向喷嘴，其反向流向前和向下引导。 当转向喷嘴相反地向一侧转动预定角度时，相对侧的侧面推力喷嘴摆动到离开壳体出口的水流的路径中。 在这个位置上，侧面推力喷嘴将离开壳体出口的流的一部分相对于转向转向喷嘴的中心线大致成直角的方向引导，以提供朝向一侧的另外的侧向推力。
