FAUCET ASSEMBLY WITH AERATOR CARTRIDGE AND METHOD FOR MOUNTING SAID ASSEMBLY

摘要

Faucet assembly with aerator cartridge (1′), which is screwed by means of an attachment thread (12) into the mouth (100), which has no sealing gasket, wherein water (W) seeping through the attachment thread (12) is at least partially reintroduced into a casing (10) of cartridge (1′) through suitably positioned aeration windows (13), being dragged by the air flow (A), which is sucked into said aeration windows (13) by the water flow within an internal flow path (2) of said cartridge (1).

主权项

1. A faucet assembly comprising: a mouth with an internally threaded portion; and an aerator cartridge, which is inserted within said mouth, said cartridge defining an internal flow path from an upstream inlet to a downstream outlet; said cartridge comprising: a casing; at least one jet breaking means positioned to intercept said internal flow path, said casing being provided with an outer lateral surface provided with an attachment thread, which is screwed into said internally threaded portion of said mouth, such as to define a threaded coupling and at least one aeration window opening on the internal flow path, said aeration window being positioned at or underneath the attachment thread, directly contacting the same or joined to the same by a continuous profile of the outer lateral surface; wherein no sealing gasket is provided for preventing the water seeping through said threaded coupling between the mouth and the cartridge; wherein the torque required for unscrewing said threaded coupling is lower than 1 Nm.
