Spout Apparatus
Summary Problem: To provide a spout apparatus in which sagging of the mesh structure portion in the flow-conditioning member due to water pressure can be suppressed even if the flow-conditioning member is formed by a fine diameter mesh structure, and the flow-conditioning member can be compactly constituted and flow velocity distribution made uniform.
Solution Means: The embodiment of the invention is a spout apparatus 2, including a spout apparatus main unit 6, a flow-conditioning member 12, and a spray member 16; wherein the flow-conditioning member 12 is formed by a mesh structure in which numerous fine holes are formed, and the mesh structure is layered and formed three dimensionally, such that the mesh structure portion of at least a portion of the mesh structure extends in a direction parallel to the direction of water flowing into the flow-conditioning member.

Micro-bubble generator and shower head
One object is to generate, without the need for a motive power source and a high level of machining accuracy, micro-bubbles containing a large amount of fine air bubbles. Another object is to provide a micro-bubble generator that switches between micro-bubble water, which contains micro-bubbles, and foamed water containing a large amount of air and having a tender texture. The micro-bubble generator includes: a water passage that includes a smaller diameter portion and a larger diameter portion disposed on the downstream side of the smaller diameter portion; an air inlet disposed in the larger diameter portion and an elastic body disposed in the air inlet and configured to isolate the water passage from external air. The elastic body is compressible by negative pressure generated in the water passage, causing the external air to be sucked into the water passage through the air inlet and over the compressed elastic body.
Fluidic faucet spray face and spray generation method
A flow-restricted compound spray generating device 100 includes a spray face member 120B including at least one fluidic circuit oscillator defining geometry 132 including an outlet orifice 138 in the spray face member's central area configured to aim an oscillating spray 300 having a selected oscillating spray thickness distally along a spray axis 112. The spray face member 120B also includes a plurality of non-oscillating (e.g., laminar or jet) spray generating orifices 160B arrayed evenly around the spray face member's periphery to aim a plurality of non-oscillating laminar or jet sprays 302 distally along the spray axis 112 to provide a ring of high velocity streams arrayed around the central oscillating spray 300 to generate a compound spray 310 with an outflow which has a pleasing spray density with an apparent outflow thickness which is substantially equal to the spout orifice's diameter 320.
