TWO-HANDLE INDUCTIVE FAUCET
A two-handle inductive faucet includes a faucet body, a faucet housing, a faucet base, and a control box. The faucet body is installed to the faucet housing. The faucet body includes two valve core assemblies, a first water outlet pipe, and two first water inlet pipes. The faucet body has two water inlet channels and an upper water outlet channel. The faucet housing is provided with a protruding sensor unit. When the control box receives an opening signal of the sensor unit, the control box controls water from the two water inlet channels to be mixed and then flow out through the first water outlet pipe.
MULTI-HOSE ARRANGEMENT
Multi-hose arrangement (1) having an outer hose (2) and at least one inner hose (3, 3a) disposed in the outer hose (2), and at least one coupling end (4) to which the outer hose (2) and the at least one inner hose (3, 3a) are attached. The the at least one coupling end (4) has a flow opening (5) for the outer hose (2), in which flow opening (5) is disposed a receptacle (6) for the at least one inner hose (3, 3a), and this receptacle encompasses the at least one inner hose (3, 3a) on less than a full circumference of the at least one inner hose (3, 3a).
THERMOSTATIC MIXER WITH SINGLE CONTROL LEVER
A thermostatic mixer, including manually adjusting means to adjust the inflow rates of hot water and cold water in the mixer, operable by the user, and automatic adjusting means to adjust the temperature of the mixed water delivered by the mixer, adjustable by the user, is described. The user manually adjusts the flow rate and sets the desired temperature of the mixed water; the temperature is feedback controlled by automatic thermostat means. The mixer includes a single control lever operable by the user to control both the manually adjusting means to adjust the inflow rates of hot and cold water and the automatic adjusting means to adjust the temperature of the mixed water. In order to facilitate adjusting of the temperature, the mixer includes a gear mechanism functionally interposed between the control lever and the adjusting shaft of the automatic adjusting means to adjust the temperature of the mixed water.
SHOWER APPARATUS
The present invention discloses a shower apparatus, which comprises an upper body, a lower body and a mixing valve, the upper body and lower body are interconnected and fixed, the upper body is provided with a capacious space, the mixing valve is placed within the capacious space; the lower body comprises a cold water inlet channel, a hot water inlet channel and a mixing water outlet, the upper body comprises a cold water crossing channel, a hot water crossing channel and a mixing water crossing channel, the upper body comprises a cold water crossing channel, a hot water crossing channel and a mixing water crossing, channel, the cold inlet channel, the hot inlet channel and the mixed water outlet are hermetically connected to the cold water crossing channel, the hot water crossing channel and the mixed water crossing channel, respectively. The shower apparatus adopts modular split design, which takes the lower body as the base platform, so that the upper body can be replaced with different functions, with simple structure and low cost, and satisfy the matching of platform functions at the same time; in addition, the shower apparatus integrates the automatic stop valve group into the upper body to realize modular assembly, with simple structure and convenient structure.
REDUCED PROFILE FAUCET HANDLE ASSEMBLY
A reduced profile faucet handle assembly illustratively includes a mounting shank receiving a valve assembly, and an escutcheon operably coupled to the mounting shank. A mounting ring is positioned intermediate the mounting shank and the escutcheon, and a retainer couples the escutcheon to the mounting ring.
SINGLE-HAND OPERATED FAUCET
Disclosed herein is a faucet including a housing, inlet and outlet ports associated with the housing, a faucet cartridge having hot and cold water inlets for receiving respective flows of hot and cold water through the inlet port, a mixed water outlet, and a mixing chamber disposed between the hot and cold water inlets and the mixed water outlet for liquid flow communication therebetween, a flow guide connected to the mixed water outlet of the faucet cartridge, for guiding an outflow of water therefrom to the outlet port so as to prevent the outflow of water from contacting the housing, and a sealing element configured to create a sealed interface between the faucet cartridge and the flow guide so as to prevent leakage.
Two-layer vanity or sink unit
Disclosed herein is a two-layer vanity unit. The two-layer vanity unit includes: a cabinet; an upper vanity unit disposed on a top of the cabinet and exposed to the outside; a lower vanity unit disposed inside the cabinet so that it is selectively put into the cabinet when not in use and withdrawn from the cabinet when in use; drain pipes connected to the upper and lower vanity units; and cold and hot water pipes connected to the upper vanity unit. Control is performed to adjust one or more of water supply and water cutoff for the upper or lower vanity unit and an amount and temperature of the available water according to an operation mode of the lever of the faucet provided on the upper or lower vanity unit, thereby controlling a type of supply of available water.
REVERSE OSMOSIS DRINKING WATER SYSTEM WITH DEDICATED POWERED FAUCET
An air gap adapter for use with a water treatment faucet constructed and arranged for being mounted in a standard countertop faucet opening. The adapter includes an adapter base with an underside, defining a base throughbore for a standard faucet inlet nipple, having an RO retentate inlet port and a separate RO retentate outlet port. A cone insert has a platform covering at least a portion of the base, and a cone formation vertically projecting from the platform and being in fluid communication with the inlet port. An outlet opening is on the cone formation in fluid communication with the outlet port. An adapter cover disposed over the cone insert and the base includes a cone cover portion and a base cover portion, as well as a cover throughbore in registry with the throughbore. The adapter is constructed and arranged to be optionally mounted to a countertop with the faucet.
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT-EMITTING FAUCET
An ultraviolet light-emitting faucet includes an inlet assembly, an outlet assembly, an operation assembly, a water-proof light-emitting module and a light guide. The operation assembly includes a conduit for connecting an inlet channel of the inlet assembly to an outlet channel of the outlet assembly. The conduit includes a cave, an optical channel, and an operation chamber including a first open end in communication with the cave and a second open end in communication with the optical channel. The water-proof light-emitting module is located in the cave and operable to cast ultraviolet light and visible light into the operation chamber through the first open end of the operation chamber. The visible light further goes into the optical channel through the second open end of the operation chamber. The light guide is supported on the operation assembly and operable to guide the visible light out of the optical channel.
