Abstract
A contact guard for use with a water faucet housing having a discharge end portion configured to discharge water along a discharge axis. The contact guard includes an inner surface extending about a central axis, with the inner surface defining a central passageway extending between a proximal end portion and a distal end portion along the central axis. A plurality of guard extensions may be arranged in spaced relation to each other. At least one pair of adjacent guard extensions form an auxiliary flow channel in fluid communication with the central passageway. The auxiliary flow channel includes a radial component extending radially outward relative to the central axis and a secondary component angled relative to the radial component. The at last one pair of adjacent guard extensions include at least one portion that overlaps each other along an axis perpendicular to the central axis.
