Patent Application
20130291977
The present invention relates to a faucet outlet structure with a close and hollow water curtain, and more particularly to water flowing down from the faucet through the water stopping portion inside the water outlet to generate a close and hollow water curtain, so that the water can flow through a larger area to increase the washing efficiency and to further achieve the goal of saving water.
Conventionally, the faucet installed on the sink generates a cylindrical water flow with a smaller washing area and can only focus on a partial area. Therefore, it may be inefficient because the user has to repeatedly change the position of both hands to completely wash both hands and items. A faucet structure that can generate a larger washing area has been developed, wherein a water outlet tube is formed at an upper portion of a main body and a U-shaped water outlet is formed at a rear end of the water outlet tube, so when the water flows down the U-shaped water outlet, a half-opened water curtain is formed to achieve the goal of saving water by increasing the washing areas. Even though the washing area is larger, the water curtain is still half-opened, so the user cannot wash the hands conveniently. In other words, the user still has to move the hands while washing them, which lacks of washing efficiency. Therefore, there remains a need for a new and improved faucet to generate a close and hollow water curtain, so that the water can flow through a larger area to increase the washing efficiency and to further achieve the goal of saving water.
The problem the present invention wants to solve is that the water curtain is still half-opened, so the user cannot wash the hands conveniently. In other words, the user still has to move the hands while washing them, which lacks of washing efficiency.
To present invention provides a faucet outlet structure with a close and hollow water curtain. The structure has a faucet body having a water outlet tube extending forward at an upper portion of the faucet body, a water outlet formed at a front portion of the water outlet tube, and a water stopping portion disposed inside the water outlet. When the water from the faucet flows down through the water stopping portion, a close and hollow water curtain is generated, so that the water can flow through a larger area to increase the washing efficiency and to further achieve the goal of saving water.
Comparing with the conventional arts, the present invention is advantageous because when the water from the faucet flows down through the water stopping portion inside the water outlet, a close and hollow water curtain is generated, so that the water can flow through a larger area to increase the washing efficiency and to further achieve the goal of saving water.
