ABSTRACT:
A spout assembly includes an inner tube adapted to be in fluid communication and in watertight connection with a faucet body, and an outer tube telescopically fitted on the inner tube. An outer circumferential wall of the inner tube has a plurality of annular retaining grooves disposed therein and spaced apart from and aligned with one another for receiving annular elastomeric members. Each elastomeric member extends beyond the outer circumferential wall to form an annular bump portion. The outer tube is slidably fitted on the outer circumferential wall, and has an inner peripheral wall with an annular friction member to surround and in slidable contact with the outer circumferential wall. Thus, when the friction member is brought into engagement with one of the annular bump portions by sliding movement of the inner peripheral wall, the engaged annular bump portion will be deformed radially to increase the friction force therebetween so as to arrest the inner peripheral wall from moving relative to the outer circumferential wall.
