Abstract: A connector assembly for attaching a free end of a hollow tubular member to another article includes a bushing member for insertion within a free open end of the tubular member and a clip member for engagement of at least one interior surface of the hollow tubular member and for retaining the bushing member within the hollow tubular member, and an attachment member for connecting the article to the bushing member disposed within the tubular member.

Abstract: An inner-gripping glide assembly with an outer sleeve for mounting upon the end of a tubular member, which glide has an upright pedestal with outwardly extending gripping prongs for insertion into the tubular member and wherein a relatively wide gap is provided between the pedestal and sleeve so as to allow the tubular member to nest against the bottom surface of the sleeve thereby allowing maximum penetration by means of the pedestal-mounted gripping prongs into the tubular member and avoidance of plating-process flashing which may be formed upon the inner wall surfaces of the tubular member within the vicinity of the open end thereof.

Abstract: In a stream-controlling device for faucets, water from the faucet passes through a first flow-restricting orifice in a circular flow restrictor mounted in a casing secured to the faucet, the restrictor having a conical wall portion sloping downwardly and inwardly toward the orifice. From the latter water enters a chamber between the restrictor and the casing's bottom wall, the latter having opposite the orifice a recess with a conical surface which deflects the water radially outward through an annular second flow-restricting orifice formed by the bottom wall and the lower end of the restrictor's conical wall. From this second orifice, which has a larger throughflow area than the first orifice, water enters an annular subchamber having a substantially enlarged volume due to the restrictor's conical wall.

Abstract: Within a cylindrical barrel to be secured to the water faucet are a basket surrounding a mixing chamber, a diffuser overlying the mixing chamber and forming a diffusing chamber, having peripheral openings for flow of water to the mixing chamber, and a flow restrictor disc having a control opening for admitting water from said faucet to the diffusing chamber, the diffuser having resilient detents allowing the disc to be snapped into position on a seat of the diffuser where the disc is releasably retained by the detents. Preferably, a ring surrounds and supports the diffuser and forms therewith a passage for flow of water from the diffuser openings to the mixing chamber, the ring being supported on part of the basket.
