CAM CLEAT ASSEMBLY FOR PLUMBING FIXTURES EMPLOYING FLEXIBLE HOSES
An apparatus for securing a flexible plumbing hose, and then conveniently releasing the hose so that it may be retracted, as well as related plumbing fixtures is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a two-piece cleat assembly which easily engages and disengages the hose. The cleat assembly comprises two spring-loaded cam cleats that can partially rotate to pinch and grip the flexible hose in place but can quickly released by physically lifting the hose away from the cleat assembly. The two-piece cleat assembly may be employed as a component in a plumbing fixture such as a shower system having a hose attached to a hand-held shower head, or in a kitchen faucet having a hose attached to a hand-held sprayer. The cleat assembly is configured as a replaceable cartridge which can easily be disassembled from the plumbing fixture for replacement or repair.
