FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a nozzle apparatus showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is a rear elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a left side view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a right side view thereof;

FIG. 5 top plan view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a rear right perspective view thereof;

FIG. 8 is a front left perspective view thereof; and,

FIG. 9 is a bottom perspective view thereof.

The broken lines in the drawings are included for the purpose of illustrating portions of the nozzle apparatus and form no part of the claimed design.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the nozzle apparatus employing the claimed design has a plurality of nozzles aligned along the long side of a single manifold, each nozzle being detachably attachable to the manifold. Electromagnetic valves (piezo valves) for the nozzles are mounted on the bottom of the manifold in a 1:1 ratio to the nozzles and together form an ejector incorporated into a color sorting machine that uses color to sort out selected grains from a large quantity of grains and other particulate matter.
