US 5,494,222 A · Faucet spout

Abstract

A faucet spout including a sleeve member having a lower water exit, a core member having a closed end, a filtering screen, a resilient adapter fitted onto a faucet and a cap member. The core member is disposed in the sleeve member with the closed end facing the water exit of the sleeve member. The filtering screen is disposed in an inner insert groove of the sleeve member above the core member. The resilient adapter is disposed on an inner step section of the sleeve member. The cap member is screwed on an upper end of the sleeve member to associate the resilient adapter with the sleeve member. When the faucet is opened, the water flowing into the sleeve member is more than the water flowing out of the sleeve member so that the water accumulates therein and creates turbulence and back pressure, making the resilient adapter more firmly engage with the faucet without easily detaching therefrom. The water under pressure will be injected from the water exit of the sleeve member in fog pattern.
