A faucet that includes a base; a riser having a first end, which couples to the base, and a distal second end; a first pivot member extending between first and second ends, wherein the first pivot member operatively couples to the second end of the riser at a first pivot axis located between the first and second ends of the first pivot member; a spout fluidly connected to the base through the riser and the first pivot member, the spout comprising an inlet end, which couples to the second end of the first pivot member such that the spout is rotatable relative to the riser through the first pivot member; and a biasing member operatively coupled to the first end of the first pivot member such that the biasing member creates a force, which biases and/or dampens relative rotation between the spout and the riser about the first pivot axis.

An outlet structure of a faucet valve seat, has a valve seat and a sleeve pipe, wherein the valve seat forms a sleeve hole, the sleeve pipe is used to set an outlet pipe, and the sleeve pipe is sleeved in the sleeve hole. The sleeve pipe penetrates through a plug hole, and one end of the outlet pipe is inserted into the plug hole, such that a long axis is parallel to the central axis of the valve core, and a central axis of the plug hole forms an included angle with the long axis as θ. The valve seat can be selected by the sleeve pipe with the corresponding angle of the plug hole according to the needs of the outlet pipe, and meet the diversified demand of the outlet pipe elevation angle.

A system for distributing water from a bathtub spout protruding from a wall into a bathtub residing below the spout is disclosed. The system includes a wall plate mounted to the wall and surrounding but not contacting the spout, the wall plate having a bracket portion extending away from the wall, the bracket portion enclosing but not contacting the spout. The system further includes a water diverting portion configured to fit over and attach to the bracket portion of the wall plate, the water diverting portion configured to receive water flowing out of the spout and to divert the water to an outlet. The system further includes at least one tubular member fluidly connected to the outlet of the water diverting portion, the at least one tubular member terminating in an outlet having a plurality of holes to create a spray pattern from the water flowing out of the spout.

A timed touchless faucet assembly for indicating to a user a time remaining for a flow of water includes a spout that is coupled to a surface proximate to a basin. An upper end of the spout is positioned over the basin. A sensor, which is proximity type, and a barometer are coupled to the spout. A controller, which comprises a power module, is operationally coupled to the sensor, the barometer, the spout, and a water source. The controller is positioned to receive a signal from the sensor when a hand of the user is positioned between the upper end of the spout and the basin. The controller is configured to selectively fluidically couple the spout to the water source concurrently with coupling the barometer to the power module. The barometer provides an indication to the user of the time remaining for the flow of water through the spout.

Disclosed is a bearing configured to couple a faucet spout to a faucet body. The bearing includes a plurality of fingers extending parallel to a central axis of the bearing. The plurality of fingers is configured to engage with the faucet spout at an intermediate position between a first end of the bearing and a second end of the bearing. The fingers are configured to exert an outward pressure to the faucet spout. The fingers are also configured to compress in a substantially axial direction.

The invention relates to a water distribution device for a shower installation. The distribution device is of the hand-held shower head type or of the overhead shower head type. The distribution device includes a distribution head configured to be connected to a water supply line. The head includes a first group of water ejection nozzles arranged on a first face of the head, and a second group of water ejection nozzles arranged on a second face of the head. The second group of nozzles is oriented so that when the distribution device is in a position of use allowing a jet of water expelled by the first group of nozzles to be oriented downwards and forwards, the jet of water expelled by the second group of nozzles is oriented upwards and forwards, so as to generate a bell-shaped jet.

A dual-outlet faucet and a dual-outlet faucet system are disclosed. The dual-outlet faucet has two water channels to output two different types of water flows, which is convenient for the user to use. The dual-outlet faucet system includes the dual-outlet faucet and a water treatment apparatus. The dual-outlet faucet system can output the normal water and the water processed by the water treatment apparatus, which is convenient for the user to use.

A water faucet system including a faucet having a neck comprising a water passageway and liquid soap delivery line, both integrated within the neck assembly. The water faucet system features a streamlined neck assembly that includes a water outlet or spout, located at the distal portion of the neck assembly, and additionally includes a separate soap outlet located at a predetermined location. The soap delivery (soap dispensing) is initiated by a user performing an activation event directed to a sensor system located in the neck assembly. In preferred embodiments, the sensor system utilizes touchless type sensors so to avoid any physical contact with the neck assembly.

A faucet includes a base and a valve cartridge disposed in the base. The valve cartridge can control a flow of water. The faucet includes a structure that supports the valve cartridge. The structure includes a mount having a first protrusion, a second protrusion, and a smooth portion that extends between the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The structure includes a lock plate that detachably couples to the mount. The lock plate can engage the first protrusion in a first rotational position to secure the lock plate relative to the first protrusion. The lock plate can slide along the smooth portion in a second rotational position.

Provided is a liquid dispensing device. The liquid dispensing device includes an internal member coupled to a sink and a nozzle. A liquid processing module is installed separately from the dispenser and may include components to generate, for example, a heated liquid, a cooled liquid, or a liquid having a sterilizing agent. Piping coupling the liquid processing module to the nozzle may extend through the internal member, and one or more components may couple the internal member under the sink. One or more valves may be positioned on the piping to direct fluid from the liquid processing module to the nozzle or to discharge fluid.
