Faucet having support bracket

Abstract

A faucet having a support bracket contains: a body, a flexible outlet pipe, a spray head, and a support bracket The body includes a vertical axis extending along a central portion thereof, and the flexible outlet pipe extends outwardly from a top of the body and includes an outflow segment. The spray head is connected with the outflow segment, the support bracket includes a first rotatable connector disposed on the body and includes a first tab extending outwardly from the first rotatable connector, wherein the first tab has a first rotation axis separated a distance from and perpendicular to the vertical axis. The support bracket includes a second rotatable connector having a head segments and a distal segment, wherein the head segment is rotatably connected with the first tab to form a first movable joint, and the distal segment is connected with or removed from the spray head.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a faucet, and more particularly to the faucet which has a support bracket configured to support a spray head of the faucet.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A faucet with articulating arm is disclosed in US Publication No. 20150308088A1 to overcome defects of pull-down faucets, for example, the sprayer cannot be flexibly fixed to a desired position.[0003]The faucet includes a body; a hub mounted on a top of the body; two articulating arms rotatably connected with two sides of the hub respectively; a forearm rotatably coupled with one end of the articulating arms; a nest rotatably joined with one end of the forearm so as to magnetically attract with a sprayer; a waterway formed by a flexible tube and communicating with a top of the hub; the sprayer connecting with one end of the waterway so as to spray water.[0004]The hub has a first pivot axis rotatably connected with the articulating arms and perpendicular to a longitudina...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a faucet with a support bracket that can be rotated on or off to avoid interfering with the handle. The bracket maintains operational firmness and allows for flexible adjustment of the spray head as it is rotated. The bracket is designed to enhance stability and can adjust the spray head to a desired angle using magnetic attraction. This allows for convenient and easy adjustment of the faucet without having to stop and start the faucet.

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, the body has a handle fixed thereon, thus interfering operation of the handle.

The articulating arms and the forearm are close to the waterway and the handle, so they are interfered by the waterway and the handle.

The sprayer tilts horizontally as the nest revolves relative to the forearm, but is cannot slant forward and backward, thus reducing flexibility of water supply.
