Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A device for stabilizing a jet of water delivered into the ambient air by the mouth of a spout, comprising at least one support member arranged within said spout, said support member being bathed by said jet and defining a limit surface of said jet, and several elongated members extending from said support member substantially up to the delivery mouth of the spout, said elongated members having a substantially constant section, being arranged in substantially parallel mutual relationship along said limit surface of the delivered jet and forming a palisade wall, and each pair of successive elongated members being spaced apart by a free space forming a passage for the ambient air.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
112 words
A device for stabilizing a jet of water delivered into the ambient air by the mouth of a spout, comprising at least one support member arranged within said spout, said support member being bathed by said jet and defining a limit surface of said jet, and several elongated members extending from said support member substantially up to the delivery mouth of the spout, said elongated members having a substantially constant section, being arranged in substantially parallel mutual relationship along said limit surface of the delivered jet and forming a palisade wall, and each pair of successive elongated members being spaced apart by a free space forming a passage for the ambient air.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
A stabilizer device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said support member is located centrally of the water jet, whereby said support member and the elongated members extending therefrom give to the delivered jet a tubular shape, the elongated members being arranged along the inner limit surface of said tubular jet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A stabilizer device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said support member is ring-shaped and is passed through by the water jet, and the elongated members extending from said support member are arranged along the outer limit surface of said water jet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
103 words
A stabilizer device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said support members are in number of two, a first support member being located centrally of the water jet, and a second support member being ring-shaped and passed through by the water jet, whereby said first support member and the elongated members extending therefrom give to the delivered jet a tubular shape, the elongated members extending from said first support member being arranged along the inner limit surface of said tubular jet, and the elongated members extending from the second support member being arranged along the outer limit surface of said water jet.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A stabilizer device as set forth in claim 1, further comprising an aerating device having a central member, said central member forming the support member for Said elongated members.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
A stabilizer device as set forth in claim 1, further comprising an aerating device having a ring-shaped member, said ring-shaped member forming the support member for said elongated members.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
A stabilizer device as set forth in claim 1, further comprising an aerating device having a central member and a ring-shaped member, both said central member and ring-shaped member forming the support members for said elongated members.
