Abstract
The present invention comprises a water spout for a sink, bathtub or the like, for providing a sheet-like flow of water. The spout has an inlet with a central longitudinal axis and an inlet cover disposed within the spout for directing inflowing water away from the central longitudinal axis into a first chamber. The top of the first chamber is defined, at least in part, by a substantially horizontal baffle which preferably extends from the front of the spout to a point proximate the rear wall of the spout leaving a gap between the rearward edge of the baffle and the rear wall of the spout. A second chamber, preferably having a volume greater than the volume of the first chamber, is disposed above the substantially horizontal baffle. The water exits the spout through a mouth which is fluidic communication with the second chamber. The mouth is most preferably in fluidic communication with a forward position of the second chamber at a point higher than the rearward edge of the baffle. In this manner, water must, at least initially, flow upwardly in the second chamber before exiting the mouth of the spout.
