1. A nozzle system for a fluidized bed, comprising:
a pipe for insertion through an air distributor plate in the fluidized bed and extending up through a refractory material on the air distributor plate;
a shaft received in the pipe with a stop which supports the shaft on the distal end of the pipe;
a cap including a top surface supported by a solid skirt, the inner diameter of the skirt larger than the outer diameter of the shaft defining a protected annular exhaust space between an outer diameter of the shaft and an inner diameter of the cap skirt defining an exhaust air path from the nozzle system downwardly between the shaft and the cap skirt and under the skirt towards the stop on the shaft, a throat and a depth of the annular space between the outer diameter of the shaft and the inner diameter of the cap skirt establishing a predetermined pressure drop through the nozzle;
spaced discreet supports extending inwardly from the cap skirt supporting the cap on a top of the shaft; and
a rod extending within the pipe and the shaft up through an opening in the top surface of the cap, a fastener on the distal end of the rod urged against the top of the cap, and a handle on the proximal end of the rod spanning the proximal end of the pipe.
2. The nozzle system of claim 1 in which inner diameter of the cap steps down between the skirt bottom and the opening.
3. The nozzle system of claim 1 in which the stop includes a washer on a collar which supports the shaft on the distal end of the pipe.
4. The nozzle system of claim 1 in which the handle includes a T-handle on the proximal end of the rod spanning the proximal end of the pipe.
5. The nozzle system of claim 1 in which each of the supports define the throat and the depth of the annular space between the cap skirt and the shaft.
6. The nozzle system of claim 1 in which, if the cap fails, a nut on the rod will burn off and the rod will drop through the air distributor plate.
7. The nozzle system of claim 1 in which the nozzle system does not include any moving parts.
8. The nozzle system of claim 1 in which the supports are machined to fix a throat and a depth of the annular space.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.

3. The money clip of claim 1, wherein the outer pockets on the first leaf and the second leaf are attached to the first main portion and the second main portion, respectively, along the second end, a top edge and a bottom edge.
4. The money clip of claim 1, wherein the clip is biased towards the spine.
5. The money clip of claim 4, wherein spine has a tube that is adapted to receive a spring, and wherein clip is pivotally attached to the spine and wherein the spring operably engages the clip and pivots the clip to a closed position.
6. The money clip of claim 5, wherein the clip has an over-center configuration.
7. The money clip of claim 5, and further comprising a ball bearing operably mounted in the tube intermediate the spring and the clip.
8. The money clip of claim 1, wherein the clip has a proximal end, a distal end and an intermediate region intermediate the proximal end and the distal end, wherein the clip is operably attached to the spine proximate the proximal end, wherein the intermediate region is proximate the spine when the clip is in a closed position, and wherein the distal end is spaced apart from the spine when the clip is in the closed position.
9. The money clip of claim 1, wherein the first leaf, the second leaf, and the spine are fabricated from leather, cotton, polyester or combinations thereof.
10. A money clip comprising:
a first leaf having a first end and a second end, wherein the first leaf comprises:
a first main portion having a first side and a second side;
a first inner pocket attached to the first side to provide a first opening proximate the first end and a second opening proximate the second end; and
a first outer pocket attached to the second side to provide an opening proximate the first end;
a second leaf having a first end and a second end, wherein the second leaf comprises:
a second main portion having a first side and a second side;
a second inner pocket attached to the first side to provide openings proximate the first end and the second end; and
a second outer pocket attached to the second side to provide an opening proximate the first end;
a spine operably attached to the first ends of the first leaf and the second leaf; and
a clip pivotally attached to the spine.
11. The money clip of claim 10, wherein the inner pockets on the first leaf and the second leaf are attached to the first main portion and the second main portion, respectively, along a top edge and a bottom edge.
12. The money clip of claim 10, wherein the outer pockets on the first leaf and the second leaf are attached to the first main portion and the second main portion, respectively, along the second end, a top edge and a bottom edge.
