Abstract
A side spray has a hand-held spray unit connected via a manifold to two fluid input supplies. The manifold converts the two separate input supplies into a joint output supply, in which a first fluid feed is partitioned from a second fluid feed. The first and second fluid feeds are supplied to first and second input ports respectively of a mixing chamber located in the spray unit. Upon actuation of the side spray, fluid from the first and second fluid feeds can mix in the mixing chamber in the spray unit before being output. The mix ratio of the first and second fluid feeds may be adjustable.
Claims16
A spray device for delivering a user-directable output fluid flow, the spray device having:
- a spray unit detachably mountable on a work surface;
- and
- a fluid supply arranged to deliver fluid to the spray unit, the fluid supply including first and second fluid feeds,
- wherein the spray unit includes a mixing chamber which has first and second input ports connected to the first and second fluid feeds respectively and an output port, whereby fluid received in the mixing chamber from the input ports is mixed before exiting through the output port.
A mixer tap assembly having:
- a mixer tap comprising a mixing chamber having a first input port and a second input port adapted to receive fluid from a first fluid feed and a second fluid feed respectively, and a fluid outlet arranged to deliver mixed fluid received from the mixing chamber;
- and
- a spray device for delivering a user-directable output fluid flow, the spray device having a hand-held spray unit which has first and second input ports arranged to receive fluid from the first and second fluid feeds respectively,
- wherein fluid received in the spray unit via the first and second input ports is mixed in the spray unit before being output, whereby mixing in the spray unit is independent of mixing in the mixer tap.
