  • Patent number: 5127111
    Abstract: A spout provides an extended sheet of flowing water for a bathtub or the like with readily obtainable rates of water flow and pressure. The spout employs a plurality of water jets along a tubular conduit which form a thin continuous sheet after striking a vertical tub wall. Slotted nozzles at either end of the conduit form a fan spray, one edge of each which attaches to the continuous sheet to provide the aesthetic impression of a continuous higher volume flow. The conduit may be supported by a bracket bolted to the vertical wall. A shroud having a planar back wall and a series of downwardly opening notches may be installed between the conduit and the bracket after the bolts are in place, simplifying the installation of the spout.
