RETRACTABLE SPRAY HEAD FAUCET WITH DAMPENED RETRACTION FEATURE
A faucet having a retractable spray head with a dampened retraction feature. One aspect is a faucet assembly comprising a collar fixedly attachable to a hose, and a damper mechanism including a rotary damper including a pinion, and a rack including a hose catch that allows the hose to move freely until the collar intersects with a hose catch, wherein the rack and the pinion movably connect. When a faucet spray head is moving from an extended position to a retracted position, the hose passes through the hose catch until the collar intersects with the hose catch, the collar engaging with the hose catch to move together with the rack along the rotary damper, thereby slowing retraction of the faucet spray head until the faucet spray head is in the retracted position.
