Embodiment Construction

[0042] For a better understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood, however, that this is not intended to limit the invention. Applications of the principles of the invention herein will often occur to those of ordinary skill in the art of the invention. One embodiment of the present invention is described in detail, although the description of specific technical features irrelevant to the technical field is omitted for the sake of clarity.

[0043] A rotary spray aerator 70 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be referred to figure 2 , 3, 4 and 5 for illustration. Such as figure 2 , 3, the rotary spray aerator 70 includes a spray or rotary head 72 that can rotate to direct the flow of water. Although the mist aerator 70 will be described with reference to a faucet, it is envisioned that the mist aerator 70 may be used to direct other types of fluids and ...

Abstract

A combination swivel spray aerator includes a stem that defines an inlet port for supplying water. The stem includes a neck and a swivel connector that is provided at one end of the stem. A spray head is coupled to the swivel connector in a swiveling manner. The spray head includes a housing and a swivel seal that seals between the housing and the swivel connector. A shroud is coupled to the stem for hiding at least the neck of the stem from view in order to provide a clean appearance. The swivel spray aerator further includes a diverter that switches between spray and aeration modes regardless which direction the spray head is rotated. A gimbal mechanism in the spray head allows the spray head to twist without requiring excessive swiveling friction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to mist aerators, and more particularly but not exclusively to a rotary type mist aerator that provides a clean appearance while allowing water to flow when the spray head is rotated in either direction. Background technique [0002] Rotary mist aerators provide additional functionality to kitchen faucets as well as other types of faucets. The rotary mist aerator allows for the rotation of the water stream over a larger sink area which allows the sink, dishes and other objects to be cleaned more thoroughly. Often, rotary aerators have a mist function that provides additional cleaning power over standard aeration streams. Typically, a diverter in the aerator is used to switch between spray and aeration modes. Traditionally, rotary aerators have been designed as attachments to existing faucets, which provide a functional but not aesthetically pleasing effect to the end of the faucet spout. This aesthetically unp...
