Abstract:
A pivoting sleeve assembly (20, 220) for aligning a fluid delivery device perpendicular to a mounting surface when the fluid delivery device is mounted to a wall, the pivoting sleeve assembly comprising a fluid delivery device (30) attached to a fluid supply, a sleeve (60), attached to and surrounding the fluid delivery device, the sleeve having an inner surface and an outer surface, and having a lower tubular portion (46) and an upper arcuate portion (44) directly above the lower tubular portion, the arcuate portion curving upwards and outwards from the top of the lower tubular portion, and an annular pivot ring (70) having an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface having an arcuate shape to conform to the shape of the upper arcuate portion of the sleeve, so that the sleeve may pivot within the contours of the pivot ring. This allows the sleeve to orient the fluid delivery device for proper mounting to the surface.
