Abstract:
1. A kitchen sink sprayer, comprising: a body enclosed in an outer enclosure for being gripped by a user and provided with a coupling to a flexible water supply hose, which is adapted to be connected to a faucet for adjusting the flow-rate between a closed position and an open position; said body comprising inside it a rod that has, at one end, a tip adapted to open selectively the access of the water to at least one duct for forming a central jet and to at least one duct for forming a peripheral jet, and is provided with an actuating element; wherein said actuating element comprises a tab that is connected to said rod and protrudes from the outer enclosure of the sprayer, at the lateral surface thereof, by an extent that is sufficient for contact grip by the user when it is necessary to actuate said rod to move it from one of its selection positions to the other and vice versa; wherein said coupling is structurally independent from the body and from the outer enclosure of the kitchen sink sprayer; wherein a flange portion of said coupling is enclosed by said outer enclosure; wherein said body, together with said coupling, is held in position in said outer enclosure by a plug, the plug being set against the body, which in turn is set against the flange portion of the coupling; wherein said body is not directly constrained to said coupling against translation away from said coupling along a longitudinal axis of the sprayer, said body being simply supported by the plug, said plug being constrained to said outer enclosure against translation along the longitudinal axis of the sprayer, so that said plug restrains in a longitudinal position said body otherwise free to move away from the coupling within the outer enclosure.
