Abstract

See full text

A flow-control faucet aerator is configured to be fitted on a spout of a faucet and includes a housing, an aerating device installed in the housing, and a washer installed above the aerating device. The washer is provided with at least one mouth and an aqueduct circling the mouth. The aqueduct is made of an elastic material and has a neck that has a wall thickness smaller than a wall thickness of the rest of the aqueduct. The neck of the aqueduct deforms at different levels according to different levels of water pressure at the spout of the faucet, so as to change a diameter of the aqueduct and in a flow of the faucet, thereby contributing to flow control and water conservation.
