Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a designed assembly that allows consumers to easily replace aerators without worrying about which measurement system to use. The assembly allows for the storage and dispatch of products with a single specification, simplifying inventory management and production items. The structural design is based on the metric and imperial threads of faucet water outlets and their variation tolerances, resulting in a universal measurement effect for the aerator.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, a metric aerator cannot be used with an imperial faucet, and an imperial aerator cannot be used with a metric faucet, and a forced engagement of different specifications may cause inadequate engagement and permeation.
As a matter of fact, most consumers is not aware of the faucets that they have been used are in metric or imperial measurement, or do not have the knowledge of identifying the specification of the faucet they are using, so when buying an aerator, they would not pay the attention to which is the suitable specification, and often feel frustrated when being aware that the specification is wrong and the purchased product can be not used.
In addition, there is another problem related to the lack of specification knowledge, when the consumer take the product back to the shop for replacing the one with right specification, the free replacement may not be carried out because the package material of the product is damaged or not complete, or the product has some scratches, so extra money has to be paid for getting the right product.
As such, not only the money may unnecessarily pay out, extra time and other inconvenience may also happen.

Abstract

The present invention provides a thread structure of an aerator of a faucet water outlet, which is to solve the problem of the different metric and imperial measurement of the thread of an existed faucet water outlet would result in the aerator cannot be universally used for both measurements; based on the ditch, the major diameter and the ditch diameter of the metric and imperial thread of faucet water outlet and the variation tolerance, the present invention calculates the universal measurement of corresponding ditch, major diameter and ditch diameter and the variation tolerance, such that the aerator can he engaged and locked in a metric faucet water outlet and also can be engaged and locked in an imperial faucet water outlet, thereby achieving a universal utilization effect.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001](a) Field of the Invention:[0002]The present invention relates to a thread structure of an aerator of a faucet water outlet , with the design of the pitch, the major diameter and the pitch diameter of an internal tread of the aerator and the variation tolerance, an effective engagement relation can be established when subject to the different metric and imperial specifications of the external thread of a faucet water outlet. As such, the present invention provides a universal utilization and application.[0003](b) Description of Related Art:[0004]For avoiding an issue of water splashing while controlling the flow amount of discharged water from an faucet, an aerator is often installed in the water outlet part, thereby obtaining smoother water flow and preventing water splashing, so when a user allows the water to be discharged in a massive amount, the surroundings is prevented from being splashed with water and being wet.[0005]What shall be addressed ...
