  • Patent number: 5242119
    Abstract: A laminar stream spout attachment for faucets comprises a plurality of spaced-apart parallel perforated plates and associated screens. The perforated plates reduce flow velocity and distribute the flow uniformly across the attachment. The screens operate to trim the stream and reduce the associated flow noise, thus providing a high-quality stream which is clear, straight, free of mist and spray, quiet, soft and essentially splash-free with a minimal number of parts.
