Abstract
A slow close faucet assembly includes a magnetic collar and a linear damper mechanism. The magnetic collar is fixedly attachable to a hose of a faucet. The linear damper mechanism has a body portion, a base portion, and a top portion. The linear damper mechanism further includes at least one damper and a damper bar. The at least one damper has a first end and a second end connected to the base portion. The linear damper bar houses a magnet and is located at the top portion of the linear damper mechanism and is connected to the first end of the at least one damper. The linear damper bar is capable of moving relative to the base portion. The magnetic collar is movable relative to the linear damper mechanism as the hose moves between a retracted position and an extended position.
