Abstract:
1. A water outlet fitting comprising a flexible water feed pipe which at one end may be connected to a water supply and at the other end is connected to a spray head, and with a bendable, deformable casing element surrounding the water feed pipe, wherein the casing element is surrounded by a flexible tube-shaped protective casing; and the casing element is formed by a helical spring which comprises at least first and second spring portions each having a straight spring axis in which in a resting state windings bear against one another under pretension, and a curved third spring portion arranged between said first and second spring portions having a curved spring axis in which the windings on an inner face thereof bear against one another, and on an outer face thereof are arranged at a mutual distance from one another, such that, when the spray head has been deflected relative to one of the straight spring axes, the curved spring portion, together with the two spring portions having, in the resting state, the straight spring axis, ensures that the spray head automatically returns into a resting position, in which under the action of all spring portions, the spray head adopts a stable position.
