Problems solved by technology

However, this counter-mounted design, despite having an extendable feature, still has limitations in use since the extendable portion requires constant support (eg, grip) from the user
Additionally, hose components corresponding to the extendable portion of the counter-mounted faucet design are often stored under the sink when not in the extended configuration, which can lead to tangling or snagging of the hose components

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 021,781, filed May 8, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] The present application relates generally to the field of ceiling mounted faucets intended for use in domestic, restaurant and commercial environments and includes means for mounting to ceiling joists. [0004] Existing kitchen faucets are typically fixed in the area around the sink (eg, the counter), which may have limited reach and may not supply water to all desired areas. Additionally, the size of the faucet assembly may have limitations on what can be placed in the sink. For example, some cookware, such as pots, may be too tall to fit under a standard kitchen sink faucet, hindering its ability to be filled or washed. Some faucet models may have extendable components, allowing greater reach for the hos...
