Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9206788A1] The present invention comprises a water spout for a sink, bathtub or the like, for providing a sheet-like flow of water. The spout has an inlet (40) with a central longitudinal axis and an inlet cover (25) disposed with the spout for directing inflowing water away from the central longitudinal axis into a first chamber (65). The top of the first chamber is defined, at least in part, by a substantially horizontal baffle (90) which preferably extends from the front of the spout to a point proximate the rear wall of the spout leaving a gap between the rearward edge of the baffle and the rear wall of the spout. A second chamber (85), preferably having a volume greater than the volume of the first chamber, is disposed above the substantially horizontal baffle. The water exits the spout through a mouth located at a high position in the second chamber.
