Abstract: A faucet spout mounting assembly includes a spout having an elongated tubular portion. There is a spout hub having a cavity, with an end of the spout tubular portion being positioned within the cavity and rotatable relative thereto. There is a water passage in the hub communicating with the cavity. The spout hub has exterior threads thereon and there is a spout nut threadedly engaging the spout hub and extending along the spout elongated tubular portion and beyond the spout hub. There is a recess in the spout nut facing the spout elongated tubular portion and a spring member is positioned within that recess. The spring member has spaced portions thereon, some of which bear against the spout nut and some of which bear against the spout elongated tubular portion, to thereby restrain radial movement between the spout and the spout nut while providing no essential increase in resistance to rotary movement of the spout.

Abstract translation: 水龙头喷嘴安装组件包括具有细长管状部分的喷口。 存在具有空腔的喷口毂，其中喷嘴管状部分的端部定位在腔体内并且可相对于腔体旋转。 毂内有一个与通道连通的水通道。 喷嘴毂在其上具有外螺纹，并且存在螺纹接合喷口毂并沿着喷口细长管状部分延伸并且超出喷口毂的喷嘴螺母。 喷口螺母中的凹口面向出口细长管状部分，并且弹簧构件位于该凹部内。 弹簧构件在其上具有间隔开的部分，其中一些间隔部分抵靠着喷嘴螺母，并且其中一些压靠在喷口细长管状部分上，从而抑制喷嘴和喷嘴螺母之间的径向移动，同时不提供对旋转运动的抵抗力的必要增加 的喷口。

Abstract: A faucet escutcheon and mounting member therefor includes an escutcheon having a generally central opening for a faucet body and a defined shape surrounding the faucet body opening. The mounting member has a defined shape similar to that of the escutcheon and dimensionally smaller whereby the mounting member is located within the confines of the escutcheon when both are mounted on a sink deck. The mounting member has a plurality of outwardly extending flexible fingers in yielding contact with the interior of the escutcheon whereby when said escutcheon and mounting member are positioned on a sink deck there is essentially no movement therebetween.

Abstract translation: 龙头孔及其安装构件包括具有大致中央的开口用于水龙头本体的孔罩和围绕水龙头体开口的限定形状。 安装构件具有与孔罩类似的限定形状，并且尺寸较小，由此当两者都安装在水槽平台上时，安装构件位于孔罩的范围内。 安装构件具有多个向外延伸的柔性指状物，以与孔罩的内部接触，由此当所述孔罩和安装构件定位在水槽平台上时，基本上不存在其间的移动。
