Mechanical Simplicity
Posted on
The recent places I have lived have all had these kinda cool kitchen faucets, where the tap part extends with a cord/pipe. You can then pull this to while doing dishes and then when you let go, it magically pulls back into the holder.
A picture:
I never thought or cared about how it worked, up until I had to replace one and the way it works is just freaking awesome. It's just a weight around the extendable/cord pipe. (the blue thing)
{"height": 400, "orig_height": 1040, "orig_width": 1566, "static_path": "static/processed_images/faucet.ea44b7b5e1d6cda4.png", "url": "https://blog.imraniqbal.org/processed_images/faucet.ea44b7b5e1d6cda4.png", "width": 602}
As you let go, the weight pulls the tap back into the holder.
The simplicity, the reliability, the genius.
Chefs kiss.
