|---|---|
| Abstract | The present invention relates to an improved polymeric fluid flow control device, particularly and not exclusively to a domestic polymeric fluid flow control device such as taps or faucets. A fluid flow control device of the present invention comprising an inner body (1) and an outer body (2), wherein the inner body (1) is over-moulded in a portion of the outer body (2) with polymeric materials. The inner body (1) according to the present invention comprises an outlet passage (14) having an inner body inlet (11) at one end, and a downwardly bent outlet (17) at the other end. The inner body (1) according to the present invention may further provided with any one of or combinations of a flange (15) at the inlet (11) end, a ring (12) integrally formed with the flange (15) and securing means on the outer surfaces of each of its distal (18) and proximal (20) ends. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the securing means at the distal (18) end is a horizontal protrusion (101) from said outlet (17); whereas the securing means at the proximal end (20) is a protrusion (102) from said inner body (1). The protrusions (101, 102) enable the inner body (1) to be firmly secured in a predetermined position within a moulding cavity when over-moulded to form an outer body (2) of a fluid flow control device. The fluid flow control device produced according to the present invention has an appropriate contour as desired and an improved appearance. The present invention fruther relates to methods of manufacture thereof. |
