ABSTRACT:
A swivel spout construction for a faucet in which there is provided a composite spout defined by an elongated generally U-shaped shell and an elongated plate both molded from plastic material. The shell and plate define sealing flanges which are secured together by means of hot plate welding. The shell and plate together define end walls, sidewalls and an upper and bottom wall which form a waterway. A hollow, cylindrical spud extends from the bottom of the plate at the spout inlet and is retained in a cylindrical bore of the faucet underbody by means of a retaining ring and a hold down nut. The construction provides for a swivel spout which is suitable for kitchen use under relatively high hydrostatic pressures and with a capability to withstand water hammer and shock pressures generated by the opening and closing of a dishwasher inlet valve. The composite spout provides for a low cost esthetically pleasing design that has relative ease of manufacture as compared to other designs.
