Abstract
An electrolytic ozone generator for use with a faucet and methods for assembling and using the same.
Claims23
An ozone generator for use with a faucet, the ozone generator comprising:
- an outer cartridge;
- and
- an electrolytic cell assembly received within the outer cartridge, the electrolytic cell assembly including:
- a first housing;
- a first current spreader operably coupled to the first housing, the first current spreader including a planar body and a terminal having a first electrical connection to a first wire lead;
- a first electrode in electrical communication with the planar body of the first current spreader;
- wherein the first housing and the outer cartridge cooperate to define a first water flow path across the first electrode;
- wherein the planar body of the first current spreader is sealed from the first electrical connection between the terminal of the first current spreader and the first wire lead, and the first electrical connection is outside of the first water flow path;
- a second housing operably coupled to the first housing;
- a second current spreader operably coupled to the second housing, the second current spreader including a planar body and a terminal having a second electrical connection to a second wire lead;
- a second electrode in electrical communication with the planar body of the second current spreader;
- wherein the second housing and the outer cartridge cooperate to define a second water flow path across the second electrode;
- and
- wherein the planar body of the second current spreader is sealed from the second electrical connection between the terminal of the second current spreader and the second wire lead, and the second electrical connection is outside of the second water flow path.
