Abstract
A safety device: including a first internal chamber and an attachment arrangement to allow the device to be attached to a fluid delivery spout, so that fluid delivered through the spout is directed into the first internal chamber. At least one first exit conduit having a first end in communication with the first internal chamber and at least one second exit conduit having a first end in communication with the fluid inlet. The first internal chamber and first exit conduit are separated from the fluid inlet and second exit conduit so that fluid entering the device through the attachment arrangement and passing through the device to the second end of the first exit conduit will not come into contact with fluid entering the device through the fluid inlet and passing through the device to the second end of the second exit conduit.
Claims17
A safety device comprising:
- a main body comprising a first internal chamber;
- an attachment arrangement comprising a tap aperture presented on the rear surface of the device to allow the device to be attached to a fluid delivery spout, so that fluid delivered through the spout is directed into the first internal chamber;
- at least one first exit conduit having a first end in communication with the first internal chamber and having an open second end;
- a fluid inlet presented on the front surface of the device, into which fluid can be introduced into the device;
- and
- at least one second exit conduit having a first end in communication with the fluid inlet and having an open second end,
- wherein the first internal chamber and first exit conduit are separated from the fluid inlet and second exit conduit so that, when the free end of a fluid delivery spout is inserted into the tap aperture, and the device is correctly oriented, fluid entering the device through the attachment arrangement and passing through the device to the second end of the first exit conduit will be channelled downwards through the first exit conduit and will not come into contact with fluid entering the device through the fluid inlet and passing through the device to the second end of the second exit conduit.
A method of diverting fluid, comprising placing a safety device according to any preceding claim over a fluid delivery spout, so that fluid delivered through the spout is directed into the first internal chamber.
