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. The outer tube includes a proximate tubular end slidably fitted on an outer circumferential wall of the inner tube, a distal tubular end extending beyond the inner tube, and an inner peripheral wall facing the outer circumferential wall. A lock member includes a latch portion disposed in the inner peripheral wall, a stem portion disposed diametrically opposite to the latch portion and radially and outwardly of the outer tube so as to permit an external operation of the stem portion, and a connecting portion disposed therebetween. Thus, the latch portion is movable between an arrested position, where the latch portion is registered with and extends into one of the retaining recesses of the outer circumferential wall so as to arrest the outer tube from moving relative to the inner tube, and a retracted position, where the latch portion is radially moved to be relieved from the retaining recess and to permit sliding movement of the outer tube relative to the inner tube. A biasing member is disposed to bias the latch portion to extend into one of the retaining recesses in the arrested position.
