Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2337099A] A device for mounting on a fluid dispensing device comprises a flow regulating means adapted to move within the device in response to the flow of fluid within the device so as to enlarge or create one or more flow paths. The flow regulating means comprise two regulating members 10, 14 which are linked to one another such that movement of the upstream member 10 causes movement of the downstream member 14. The members are biased into a rest position by a spring 15 so as to partially restrict fluid flow. Upstream member 10 partially restricts fluid flow through the device at all positions thereof such that a force in opposition to the biassing force acts upon the upstream member at all operative positions of the member. The device can be secured to the outlet of a tap in several ways one of which includes radially expansible means - see figures 4a and 4d.
