Abstract
Sink spray head with supply jet variation and flow rate regulation, comprising a body defining at least two distinct water supply areas in communication with a distribution chamber controlled by a diverting cut-off driven by means of two distinct selection keys accessible outside the body, a cut-off being also provided for the regulation of the water flow rate. The keys are operatively connected to the regulation cut-off.
Claims21
A sink spray head with supply jet variation and flow rate regulation capabilities, the sink spray head comprising a body defining at least two distinct water supply areas in communication with a distribution chamber, flow of water from the distribution chamber to the water supply areas being controlled by a diverting first cut-off manipulable by distinct first and second selection keys accessible from outside the body, a regulation second cut-off being also provided for the regulation of the water flow rate, the first and second selection keys being operatively engageable with the second cut-off, the first and second selection keys each being equipped with a respective stem suitable for interacting with a first slide connected to the diverting first cut-off, the spray head including a second slide flanked with respect to the first slide and operatively engageable with the regulation second cut-off, the stem of the respective first and second selection keys being suitable for interacting with the second slide equipped with two inclined ramps substantially parallel to each other, both ramps suitable for being engaged by the stem of one of the first and second selection keys.
A spray head comprising:
- a fluid distribution chamber;
- a body defining at least two distinct water supply regions in fluid communication with the distribution chamber;
- a diverting first cut-off configured to control water flow from the fluid distribution chamber;
- a regulation second cut-off configured to regulate water flow to at least a portion of the spray head;
- a first slide coupled to the diverting first cut-off;
- a second slide coupled to the regulation second cut-off and including a first inclined ramp and a second inclined ramp, substantially parallel to the first inclined ramp;
- and
- first and second selection keys accessible from outside the body, each of the first and second selection keys including a stem, at least one of the stems being configured to interact with the first slide to move the diverting first cut-off and control fluid communication from the distribution chamber, at least one of the stems being configured to interact with at least one of the first and second ramps of the second slide to move the regulation second cut-off.
