  • Patent number: 7344094
    Abstract: A sprayer for attachment to the spout of a faucet. The sprayer comprises a coupling, a spray head through which fluid may be directed for expulsion and a neck portion. The coupling releasably secures the sprayer to the spout of a faucet. The neck portion connects the coupling to the spray head and includes a passageway permitting the flow of fluid from the spout of the faucet to the spray head. The neck portion is flexibly resilient and permits the spray head to be displaced from a rest position where it is generally aligned with the longitudinal axis of the sprayer to a deflected position where it is deflected from its rest position. The resiliency of the neck portion causes the spray head to be normally biased toward its rest position. The neck portion further includes a deflection limiter preventing the spray head from being deflected more than a pre-determined amount from the longitudinal axis of the sprayer.

  • Patent number: 7032253
    Abstract: A sink basket and plug assembly comprising a basket portion and a plug portion. The basket portion includes a well having at least one fluid passageway extending therethrough. The plug portion is at least partially receivable within the well and has an open and a closed position. When closed the plug restricts the passage of fluids through the fluid passageway. When open the plug permits the flow of fluid through said fluid passageway. At least one of the basket portion and the plug portion includes an indexing member and the other includes an indexing receiver. The indexing member is releasably receivable within the indexing receiver and retains the plug in its open position. Movement of the plug from its open to its closed position requires the application of a lifting force to the plug to dislodge the indexing member from the indexing receiver.
