Patent Images
1. A spout mounting assembly comprising:
- a mounting hub defining a longitudinal axis;
a spout supported for rotation relative to the mounting hub;
a retaining member operably coupled to the spout and the mounting hub, the retaining member configured to restrain axial movement of the spout relative to the mounting hub; and
a biasing member operably coupled to the spout and the mounting hub, the biasing member configured to provide an axial load between the spout and the mounting hub.
