     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT  
       [0018]    The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.  
         [0019]    Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and  3 , a preferred embodiment of the present invention is essentially comprised of abase holder  10 , an adjustment holder  20 , a coupling holder  30 , a diverter  40 , a plug  50 , a rotation connector  60 , a rotation holder  70 , a bonnet  80 , and a divergence gasket  90 . Wherein, the base holder  10  indicates a disk shape and has an opening at its top to define a spacious interior. The inner wall of the base holder  10  is threaded and multiple circular holes  101  are arranged in a ring on a base plate in the base holder  10 . A hollow stem  11  in trapezoid rises from the center of the base plate and a guide hole  111  in conic shape upside-down is provided in the upper part of the stem  11  while multiple gaps  112  are cut on the wall of the opening at the top of the stem  11 . A through hole  112  with treaded inner wall in a diameter larger than that of the guide hole  111  is provided in the lower part of the stem  11 . The through hole  112  is further adapted with a strainer holder  12  containing a strainer  13  and a threaded outer wall for the strainer holder  12  to be screwed inside the lower part of the stem  11 .  
         [0020]    The divergence gasket  90  made of comparatively resilient material, e.g. rubber, in sheet disk shape has a circular hole provided at its center and multiple conic studs  91  arranged in equal spacing between any two abutted studs. The quantity of those multiple conic studs  91  is the same as that of those circular holes  101  provided in the base holder  10 . A conic water outlet  901  penetrating through the top is provided inside each of those studs  91 . The divergence gasket is placed on the top of the base plate in the base holder  110  so that each stud  91  respectively penetrates its corresponding circular hole  101  in the base plate.  
         [0021]    The lower part of the hollow adjustment holder  20  is related to a disk shaped coupling flange  201 . The circumference of the coupling flange  201  is threaded so to engage the inner wall of the base holder  10  for the adjustment holder  20  to be coupled to the base holder  10 . A female circular groove  203  is provided over the coupling flange  201 . The upper part of the adjustment holder  20  in a reducing diameter smaller than that of the lower part defines an insertion part  202 . A separation cover  21  has a thin wall and is made in conic shape. Multiple latches  211  with each inclined upward into the separation cover  21  are provided around the circumference at the bottom of the separation cover  21  to merely lock up the circular groove  203  of the adjustment holder  20  when the separation cover  21  covers up the adjustment holder  20 .  
         [0022]    The coupling holder  30  has its outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the insertion part  202  of the adjustment holder  20  and a female circular groove at the bottom to accommodate a leak-proof ring  31 . A trapezoid through hole is formed inside the coupling holder  30  and the inner wall of the upper part of the coupling holder  30  is threaded to engage the insertion part  202  of the adjustment holder  20 .  
         [0023]    The diverter  40  has its outer diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the larger end of the through hole inside the coupling holder  30 . A conic shaped divergence block  401  protrudes from the center of the top of the diverter  40  and multiple circular holes  402  arranged at equal spacing between any two abutted holes are provided in circular with the divergence block  401  as the center. The base of the diverter  40  is formed with a flange  41  with its outer diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the smaller end of the through hole in the coupling holder  30 . The flange  41  is used to guide airflow and has a down slope facing outwardly on its inner wall. A connection tube  42  internally threaded protrudes below the center of the bottom of the diverter  40  for the diverter  40  to be placed into the trapezoid through hole in the coupling holder  30 .  
         [0024]    The upper part of the plug  50  relates to a threaded rod  501  with its outer diameter equal to that of the connection pipe  42  of the diverter  40 ; and the lower part of the plug  50  relates to a head  502  with its outer diameter greater than the guide hole  111  in the stem  11  of the base holder  10 . The plug  50  is inserted through the bottom of the stem  11 , the guide hole  111  and finally engaged to the connection pipe of the diverter  40 .  
         [0025]    The rotation holder  70  relates to a hollow body and has it both ends open with the upper open end in smaller diameter than that of the lower open end. The inner wall of the rotation holder  70  at where approximately in middle is threaded. The upper part of the rotation holder  70  is made in a conic shape and arc surface to define a passive rotation part  701  and the lower part of the rotation holder  70  related to a coupling part  702  with its outer wall threaded is made in an outer diameter equal to the inner diameter of the coupling holder  30  for the rotation holder  70  to be engaged to the coupling holder  30 .  
         [0026]    The lower part of the rotation connector  60  relates to a rotation ball  601 , and the upper part of the rotation connector  60  relates to a hollow threaded rod  602  containing a water way  603 . The threaded rod  603  is first inserted with a leak-proof ring  63  before being placed into the bottom of the rotation holder  70  so that the rotation ball  601  and the leak-proof ring  63  hold against the upper open end of the rotation holder  70  while the threaded rod  602  is exposed. A positioning ring  61  made of resilient material and provided with a central hole is placed at the bottom of the rotation ball  601 . Aslope  611  cut at a certain inclination from the top of the central hole of the positioning ring  61  holds against the spherical surface of the rotation ball  601 . Furthermore, a hollow positioning washer  62  having a threaded outer circumference is engaged to the threaded inner wall of the rotation holder  70  is used to lock up the rotation connector  60  to secure the positioning ring  61 . In turn, the positioning ring  61  produces a proper compression against the rotation ball  601 .  
         [0027]    A threaded pivoting hole  801  to be engaged to the faucet is formed inside the upper part of the bonnet  80 . Inside the lower part of the bonnet  80  is formed a rotation space  802  in a radius slightly greater than that of the top of the rotation holder  70 . The rotation space  802  is made in an approximately semi-spherical shape. A threaded hole  803  is provided upward in the center of the rotation space  802  to be engaged to the threaded rod  602  of the rotation connector  60  with the rotation point connected to the rotation holder  70  falling within the rotation space  802 . A water inlet  804  is formed over the threaded hole  803  and is connected through the pivoting hole  801  in the bonnet  80 .  
         [0028]    Now referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the bonnet  80  of the preferred embodiment of the present invention is pivoted to the spout of a faucet  1 . Deflecting the spout converter as desired in conjunction with the rotation connector  60  and the rotation holder  70  may change the direction of the water delivered. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the base holder  10  of the spout converter is in a position when it is pushed up. Wherein, the stem  11 , the adjustment holder and the separation cover  21  are all at their respective upper dead points to open up an area between the guide hole  111  in the stem  11  and the head  502  of the plug  50 . The water from the faucet  1  flows through those circular hole  402  in the diverter  40  and turns into pressurized jet to enter into the guide hole  111  and a spacing is formed between those gaps provided in the upper inner wall of the guide hole  111  and the slope on the inner wall of the air guide flange  41  of the diverter  40 . Accordingly, the air is sucked in by the spacing to mix the water flowing through the guide hole  111  at high pressure and high speed, thus to create more air bubbles for the water flowing through the strainer holder  12 . On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 5, when the base holder  10  is pulled down, the stem  11 , the adjustment holder  20  and the separation cover  21  all descend together with the base holder  10 . However, the plug  50  is not displaced, thus to close up the exit of the guide hole  111  with the head  501  of the plug  50 . Meanwhile, an opening is formed as the top of the stem descends to clear away, from the diverter  40  to admit the water flowing through the opening into the adjustment holder  20 , then through the divergence gasket  90  and outlets  901  of those studs  91 , and finally to be delivered in divergence.  
         [0029]    As disclosed above, a spout converter of the present invention by pushing up or pulling down the base holder converts the water to be delivered either in gush or in convergence and the direction of the water delivered may be changed by deflecting the spout converter. The design of the separation cover  21  prevents direct of the adjustment holder  20  upon pushing up or pulling down the base holder  10 ; therefore, the hand of the user will not be burnt by the hot water flowing through the adjustment holder  20 . As the rotation connector  60  is completely built in the bonnet  80 , again, fingers of the user are prevented from being hurt when deflecting the spout converter. Furthermore, all the components of the present invention are threaded to one another to allow easy removal for cleaning and service purposes.  
         [0030]    It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.  
         [0031]    While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
A converter threaded to the sprout of a classical faucet made of metal to compromise the classical style of the faucet allows water be delivered either in gush or divergence; a separation cover being provided to separate the heat generated from hot water flowing through the converter to avoid burning the user; and a reducing design for the rotation point of the rotation connector to avoid hurting the user.
