Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019106044A1] The present invention is a tap system that intents to ease the accessibility of the water (or fluids) flows by deviating the flow laterally and upwards (from its initial direction) by a removable mounted rotatable apparatus. The present invention enables a lateral and upwards derivation of the water or fluids flow in a parabolic shape at the exit of the tap. This modification allows the users to reach the water/fluids with their mouth in an easier way compared to conventional taps, as the water is coming closer to the mouth and therefore it is not necessary to bend the neck and back as much as with conventional taps. The present invention does not allow to have a vertical water or fluid flow and at the same time a derivated water or fluid flow, hence saving water.
