JET REGULATOR FOR A SANITARY FAUCET AND SANITARY FAUCET HAVING SUCH A JET REGULATOR
A jet regulator (1) for a sanitary faucet (2) that contains a first spray plate (3) for dispensing the liquid as a laminar jet; and a second spray plate (4) for dispensing the liquid as a mist jet. Moreover, a sanitary faucet (2) having such a jet regulator (1) is proposed.
Integrated mixed tap water and conditioned water faucet assembly with pull out sprayer head
An integrated mixed tap water and conditioned water faucet assembly has a pull-out sprayer head and a spout. The spout has an upwardly extending portion, a downwardly extending dispensing portion and a bight extending between the upwardly extending portion and the downwardly extending dispensing portion. A conditioned water housing and the sprayer head are disposed at a lower end of the downwardly extending dispensing portion and extend downwardly therefrom.
Spout apparatus
Problem: To provide a spout apparatus in which sagging of the mesh structure portion in the flow-conditioning member due to water pressure can be suppressed even if the flow-conditioning member is formed by a fine diameter mesh structure, and the flow-conditioning member can be compactly constituted and flow velocity distribution made uniform. Solution Means: The embodiment of the invention is a spout apparatus 2, including a spout apparatus main unit 6, a flow-conditioning member 12, and a spray member 16; wherein the flow-conditioning member 12 is formed by a mesh structure in which numerous fine holes are formed, and the mesh structure is layered and formed three dimensionally, such that the mesh structure portion of at least a portion of the mesh structure extends in a direction parallel to the direction of water flowing into the flow-conditioning member.
ARTICULATING FAUCET
A water delivery device includes a first conduit section and a second conduit section rotatably coupled to the first conduit section by a magnetic joint. The magnetic joint includes a plurality of magnets that cooperatively define a plurality of rotational positions between the first conduit 5 section and the second conduit section.
CONTAINER FILLING FAUCET
A faucet includes a spout, a water level sensor, and a controller. The spout includes a water outlet having a first set of nozzles oriented at an angle with respect to a central axis defined by the water outlet such that water discharged from the first set of nozzles converges at the central axis at a focal distance from the water outlet. The water level sensor is disposed on the spout, and is configured to detect a distance between the water outlet and a level of water in a container disposed below the water outlet. The controller is configured to control the flow of water through the water outlet based on a comparison between the detected distance and the focal distance.
Faucet attachment adapter
Methods and apparatus are provided through which in one preferred embodiment a faucet attachment adapter includes a seal, a seal housing, an adapter housing and a hose adapter. A first end of the seal is mounted to an interior of the seal housing. A second end of the seal is mounted to an interior of the adapter housing. The adapter housing is free to rotate relative to the seal housing. An end of the seal housing may be placed over a faucet or spigot. Rotation of the second end of the seal relative to the first end of the seal allows the seal to rotate between an open orientation and a sealing orientation around the faucet or spigot. An end of a hose is connectable to the hose adapter. A spray or scrubber attachment may then be connected to the other end of the hose. A locking mechanism may be utilized to prevent unwanted rotation of the adapter housing relative to the seal housing.
FAUCET INCLUDING CAPACITIVE SENSORS FOR HANDS FREE FLUID FLOW CONTROL
A faucet comprises a spout, a passageway that conducts water flow through the spout, and an electrically operable valve disposed within the passageway. A first capacitive sensor has a first detection field that generates a first output signal upon detection of a user's hands in the first detection field, and a second capacitive sensor has a second detection field that generates a second output signal upon detection of a user's hands in the second detection field. A controller is coupled to the first and second capacitive sensors and the electrically operable valve. The controller is programmed to actuate the electrically operable valve in response to detecting the user's hands in the first detection field and not in the second detection field for a predetermined period of time surrounding the detection of the user's hands in the first detection field.
Composite Faucet Body and Internal Waterway
The present application generally relates to a faucet. The faucet includes a continuous internal waterway and a body. The continuous internal waterway includes a first chamber, a second chamber, a valve seat, and a waterway. The second chamber is configured to receive water from a water source. The valve seat is coupled to the first chamber and the second chamber. The valve seat is in fluid communication with the second chamber. The waterway is in fluid communication with the valve seat. The body encapsulates the continuous internal waterway. The faucet is operational to receive the water from the water source and to provide the water to the waterway. The body is isolated from the water by the continuous internal waterway during operation of the faucet.
Pull-out sprayhead and related faucet provided with enhanced reciprocal coupling system
Pull-out sprayhead (1) for a faucet, comprising: an inlet fitting (10) provided with a coupling end (11a) which can be connected to an extractable water supply pipe; a supply mouth (10d) in fluid communication with said coupling end (10d); and a magnet (12) fixed at the inlet fitting (10) and designed to allow releasable connection of said pull-out sprayhead (1) to a faucet neck (20), said magnet (12) being arranged in a watertight housing chamber (13) defined between an outer wall of said inlet fitting (10) and a covering nut (14) fastened to said inlet fitting (10).
Plumbing Fixture Fluid Diversion Assembly
A plumbing fixture fluid diversion assembly minimizes dripping from an outlet conduit of a spout body by restricting passage of accumulated fluid through the outlet conduit. The assembly comprises a hollow spout body having an inlet conduit that carries fluid to a diversion chamber. The diversion chamber is in communication with the inlet conduit and the outlet conduit. A routing notch helps control the flow of the fluid towards a chamber opening that is disposed between the diversion chamber and the outlet conduit. The chamber opening enables passage of fluid to the outlet conduit. A flap selectively covers and uncovers the chamber opening to control dripping from the outlet conduit. The assembly generates an initial force to at least partially urge the flap towards the chamber opening for covering by pulling a cable, displacing magnet proximal to the flap, or creating a vacuum to displace the flap.
