SPRAY ATTAHMENT FR FAUGETS.

Application tiled May 13, 1%12.

To all 'zo/2.0m it may concern:

. Be it known that I, Timonoiin G. FIsoHnL, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Manhattan borough, city, county, and State of New York, have invented cert-ain new and useful Improvements in Spray Attachments for Faucets, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to an improvement in spraying devices, the object being to provide a devicethat can be attached directly to a faucet and by which means the tvater that flows from the faucet will be sprayed.

The main object of the invention is to provide an attachment which can be applied `directly to a faucet Without the use o-f a hose or other similar duct, the said attachment being particularly adapted for bathing purposes.

A further feature of my invention com prises an adjustable shield "which is movably secured to the spraying device and by Which means the sprayed Water, or rather some of the sprays of Water, are prevented from striking the face. A

. My improved device is also designed to hold a toilet perfume, salt, or a medicament.

I Will now proceedto describe my'invention in detail, the novel features of which I will finally point out in the claim, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part hereof, wherein? Figure 1 is a side vien1 of a faucet'having my improvement applied thereto; F ig. 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional view thereof, the section being taken on a line 2--2 in Fig. 3; and Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional plan View, thesection being taken on a line 3 3 in Fig. 2. y

As herein illustrated, my improvement comprises al cylindrical box or container 1,

provided, at one end thereof, with a iange 2, threaded exteriorly thereof, as at 3, with which the threaded flange 3a of a cap 4 engages. The cap Li is designed to hold a resilient conical or tapering bushing 5 made preferably of rubber. yThe bushing 5 is held in Contact with the flange 2 by means of the cap 4. The function of the bushing 5 is to grip the faucet and hold the box l thereon.

Speeeaton .of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 3, 1912.

Serial No. 699,906.

To permit of the escape of the Water, I perforate the box l as at 6, and as many openings as desirable may be used. The boX l is preferably closed at the bottom, as shown.

To regulate the spray, I provide a movable band 7, having a deliecting hood 8. When the band 7 or spray regulating device is located, as shown, the Water, as it flows from the spout 10 of the faucet 9, will flow through the openings dbeloW 'the band, as the said band will close all those openings which are located in that portion of the Wall of the boi; l which is covered bythe said band.

lhould I desire, for instance, to shut o.

the openings intermediate the top and bottom of the box l, I would move the band to the dotted position. As the band or shut oli 7' is adapted for ymovement longitudinally of the box l, I am able to shut ed the spray at various points longitudinally of the said bon. The hood 8 is adapted to prevent the upper zone of jets fromspraying too high.

The tapering bushing 5 adapts the box for attachment'to ,faucets of various sizes, and it Will also be noted that the box 1 can readily be unscrevved from the cap l Without removing the bushing from the faucet for the purpose of placing a medicament for movement longitudinally thereof and over said openings, and a deiieeting hood at the lower edge of said band, and integral therewith, said'hood being located adjacent said openings.-

Signed at New York' city, N. Y., this 10 day of May, 1912.
