Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a flow spout comprising a wide flat chamber in sheet form, in which at least one liquid inlet opens out and which is in communication with the outside by a long, narrow slot. According to the invention, the flow spout comprises a concave curved surface constituted at least in part by generatrices parallel to one another and disposed so that its generatrices are at least approximately horizontal and its rear edge is at a level higher than its front edge, and said wide flat chamber is arranged so that its long, narrow slot is disposed on the rear edge side, close to said concave curved surface and at least substantially parallel to said generatrices.
