Claim 0:
1. A sprayhead comprising:
a body extending in a longitudinal direction between an inlet end, which is configured to receive a fluid, and an outlet end;
a first diverter movable relative to the body along a radial direction, the radial direction transverse to the longitudinal direction;
a first actuator configured to control movement of the first diverter;
a biasing member configured to bias the first actuator in a first position, such that the first actuator is configured as a momentary switch;
a second diverter movable relative to the body along the longitudinal direction;
a second actuator configured to control movement of the second diverter, the second actuator pivotally coupled to the body, such that a rotation of the second actuator moves the second diverter in the longitudinal direction;
a first outlet member disposed at the outlet end and configured to emit the fluid either as a first spray pattern or at a first velocity, wherein the first outlet member is in fluid communication with the inlet end in a second position of the first diverter;
a second outlet member disposed at the outlet end and configured to emit the fluid either as a second spray pattern or at a second velocity, wherein the second outlet member is in fluid communication with the inlet end in the first position of the first diverter and in a first position of the second diverter; and
a third outlet member disposed at the outlet end and configured to emit the fluid either as a third spray pattern or at a third velocity, wherein the third outlet member is in fluid communication with the inlet end and wherein the second outlet member is disconnected from the inlet end in the first position of the first diverter and in a second position of the second diverter.
