Abstract: A shape memory faucet has a base configured to be coupled to a surface, a spray head configured to direct a spray of fluid, and a faucet spout disposed between the base and the spray head, the faucet spout comprising a waterway and at least one elongated member formed from a shape memory alloy material. The faucet spout having the elongated member(s) formed from the shape memory alloy material is deformable from an initial shape corresponding to a rest position to a displaced shape corresponding to a deployed position. The elongated member(s) formed from the shape memory alloy material are operable to return the faucet spout to the rest position when released from the deployed position.

Abstract: A shape memory faucet includes a base having a flat portion configured to be coupled to a surface and a body portion extending from the flat portion in a direction away from the surface, a spray head configured to direct a spray of fluid, and a faucet spout extending from the body portion of the base to the spray head. The faucet spout includes a waterway and at least one elongated member formed from a shape memory alloy material disposed adjacent to the waterway.
