MAGNETIC COUPLING FOR SPRAYHEADS

摘要

A faucet including a faucet head, a body and a magnetic coupling releasably coupling the faucet head to the faucet body. Faucets having sprayheads that pull out from the faucet body enable users to manipulate the sprayhead independent of the faucet body and to aim the water spray directly at a target instead of requiring the user to place the target under the sprayhead. Such rnior art faucets typically utilize locking bayonet connectors, or connectors comprising collars and snap fingers to produce a retaining force to couple the sprayhead to the faucet body.
