Claim 0:
1. An adjustable fluidic coupling to be fitted to a fluid dispensing wall outlet, wherein the coupling comprises:
a fluid channel extending between an upstream fluid inlet and a downstream fluid outlet;
an inlet part formed of at least one tubular body and comprising a first conduit extending therethrough along a first longitudinal axis between the inlet at an upstream end and a first connection port at a downstream end portion, said port having a first fluid opening and a first circumferential tapered mating surface aligned on a first port axis;
an outlet part formed of at least one tubular body and comprising a second conduit extending therethrough along a second longitudinal axis between a second connection port at an upstream end portion, said second port comprising a second fluid opening and a second circumferential tapered mating surface aligned on a second port axis, and a third opening at a downstream end portion;
a stem part comprising a stem axis and fluid passageway extending between a fourth opening at an upstream end portion and the outlet at a downstream end portion;
wherein the first and second ports are configured for complementary tapered engagement of the first and second mating tapered surfaces on aligned port axes to connect the inlet part to the outlet part such that the first and second conduits are in fluid communication via the first and second openings and form said fluid channel between the inlet and the outlet;
wherein said outlet part is fixedly connected to said stem such that said second conduit and said passageway are fluidly connected by said third and fourth openings;
a compression member selectively movable between a first position holding the first and second mating surfaces in abutment for free rotation of the inlet part about the coaligned port axes relative to the outlet part thereby providing for angular adjustment of the inlet relative to the outlet, and a second position whereby the first mating surface is compressively engaged with the second mating surface to frictionally bind the first and second mating surfaces to angularly fix the inlet relative to the outlet;
wherein said fluid inlet comprises a threaded portion for torqued threaded connection of said inlet to a threaded end of said wall outlet, to thereby resist relative rotation of said coupling relative to said outlet; and an inlet seal fluidly sealing the inlet port to the wall outlet.
