Rice Granted Patent Pending

Status Of Speed Nozzle

Rice Propellers, located in the

North Pacific coast of Mexico, is a major supplier of propellers and nozzles for U.S. shipyards and fish- ing fleets. The company has recently developed the Rice Speed

Nozzle Design and the Skewed

Kaplan Propeller. Rice has been granted the Patent Pending Status from the Patent and Trademark

Office of the U.S. Department of

Commerce.

The Rice Speed Nozzle is report- edly a completely new design. The inside and outside shells are cam- bered and rounded. With these nozzles, users can reportedly obtain maximum thrust without losing free running speed.

In 1995, Rice Speed Nozzles were installed on 140 boats in the U.S. — mainly in the Gulf of Mexico and the East Coast. So far, in 1996, the nozzle has been installed on more than 90 boats.
