Abstract
Abstract Connecting assembly for connecting a dish- or clothes washing machine to a faucet above a sink, basin or the like, the connecting assembly being rotatably connectible with the outlet part of the cock body by means of a swivel device such as an automatic coupling having a coupling sleeve and a nipple in order to make possible rotation of said connecting assembly around the center axis of said swivel device to a desired angular position. Said connecting assembly comprises a hollow journal part which is provided with a through-flow channel and, at its one end, is connected with said swivel device and which extends laterally out from the center axis of said swivel device and which is provided at its outlet end with a hose nipple for connection of the water inflow hose. The journal part is externally cylindrical along a portion of its length in order to form a bearing for a hub that supports an arm extending out from said hub and having a water outlet channel which opens at the outer end of said arm in order to direct the waste water down into the sink in the direction adjusted for by the angular adjustment of said journal part around the swivel axis and the angular adjustment of the hub around the center axis of said journal part. The arm supports a hose nipple that is connected with the outlet channel in said arm and is adapted to be connected to the outflow hose of the machine.
