Abstract:
A tamper-resistant aerator including an aerator cartridge, an insert defining at least one removal slot, and a locking ring defining at least one removal slot at least partially disposed within a housing is disclosed. The locking ring rotates with respect to the housing to allow alignment of the removal slot of the locking ring with the removal slot of the insert. Alignment of the slots form a continuous passageway through the locking ring and into the insert. Alternatively, a plurality of removal slots may be provided. A mating engagement between the locking ring and the housing secures the locking ring within the housing while still allowing it to rotate with respect to the housing. An aerator system is also provided comprising an aerator as described above and a tool adapted to be received in the continuous passageway formed by the alignment of the slots and engage the insert.

Claim (Index 1):
A tamper-resistant aerator comprising:\n a housing; an aerator at least partially disposed within the housing; an insert engaged with a portion of the housing, the insert defining at least one insert removal slot adapted to receive at least a portion of a tool; a locking ring at least partially disposed within the housing, the locking ring defining at least one locking ring removal slot adapted to receive at least a portion of the tool, the locking ring rotatable relative to the housing, wherein the locking ring is rotatable to align the at least one insert removal slot with the at least one locking ring removal slot; and a mating engagement between the locking ring and the housing, wherein the mating engagement is adapted to secure the locking ring within the housing, and wherein the mating engagement comprises at least one protrusion on an exterior surface of the locking ring and a corresponding indentation on an interior surface of the housing adapted to receive the at least one protrusion.
