Abstract:

Water effects devices including a generally annular pressure chamber having an inlet, an upper wall portion, and at least one horizontally elongated outlet spaced apart from and disposed below the upper wall portion. The pressure chamber may include a baffle configured to block flow along any otherwise uninterrupted straight line extending from the inlet to the outlet. The outlet may include a scupper plate projecting from the outlet opening and away from the outer surface of the pressure chamber. The baffle and the scupper plate may constitute a single sheet of material extending from within the pressure chamber, proximate a wall of the chamber opposite the outlet, to the location away from the outer surface of the pressure chamber. Devices including ornamental housings providing a central void are also disclosed.
