Magnetic coupling for sprayheads
A faucet including a faucet head, a body and a magnetic coupling releasably coupling the faucet head to the faucet body.
Self-supporting bathtub spout extension system
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.
PROXIMITY FAUCET POWER SOURCE DETECTION
A fluid dispensing device and method for controlling the device are provided. The device includes a housing defining a fluid outlet. A valve controls the flow of fluid to the outlet. A sensor is configured to detect an object outside of and proximate to the housing. A solenoid is configured to move the valve between an open position and a closed position. A controller is configured to receive the output signal of the sensor, determine a characteristic of noise in the output signal such as a level of noise, adjust at least one of a sampling rate of the output signal and an amount of filtering of the output signal responsive to the characteristic of noise in the output signal, and transmit a control signal to the solenoid responsive to the output signal.
Conical showerhead and filter
A filter cartridge for a showerhead includes a frame having an upstream plate and a downstream plate, both having a respective plurality of openings formed therein. The frame defines at least one upstream void outside of the upstream plate, and at least one downstream void outside of the downstream plate. A filter element is coupled to the frame and has a conical configuration including upstream and downstream faces, and a sidewall extending between the upstream face and the downstream face, with the upstream face being smaller than the downstream face. The filter element is positioned relative to the frame with the upstream face in direct fluid communication with the at least one upstream void and the plurality of openings formed in the upstream plate, and the downstream face in direct fluid communication with at least one downstream void and the plurality of openings formed in the downstream plate.
Dual-outlet faucet and dual-outlet faucet system
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.
SANITARY FITTING AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING SUCH A SANITARY FITTING
A sanitary faucet (1) containing a faucet body (2) with an outlet (4) having an outlet opening (3); a valve adapter (5) disposed in the faucet body (2); a valve (6) for at least partially closing off the outlet opening (3), which is at least partially disposed in the valve adapter (5); and a connection element (7) for connecting a water guide (8) disposed in the outlet (4) to a water aperture (9) of the valve adapter (5), wherein a linear slide guide (10) is used to attach the connection element (7) to the valve adapter (5). In addition, a method of assembling a sanitary faucet (1) is proposed.
Bathtub faucet
The present invention relates to the technical field of fluid switches, and more particularly to an bathtub faucet, comprising a housing (10), a first valve (11) which is disposed in the housing in the radial direction of the housing (10) and configured for switching on or switching off the flow of the fluid towards the outlet (100); a first base (12) which is disposed in the housing in the axial direction of the housing (10) and configured for diverting the fluid therethrough, and the first base comprises: first fluid guiding ports (120) disposed along the radial direction of the first base (12) and second fluid guiding ports (121) disposed at two ends of the first base (12) along its axial direction and are respectively communicated with the first fluid guiding port (120), and the first valve (11) is configured to sealingly engage to the first base (12) and communicated with the first fluid guiding ports (120), so that the fluid is controlled by the first valve (11) to be communicated with the second fluid guiding port (121) at the upper end or shut off, wherein the fluid is introduced from the second fluid guiding port (121) at the lower end and then diverted through the first fluid guiding port (120).
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.
FAUCET AND SPOUT THEREOF
A faucet includes a base, two water controllers disposed on the base, an outer tube connected to the base, an inner tube disposed within the outer tube, and a spout. The spout has a first channel that is only in communication with the outer tube, a second channel that is only in communication with the inner tube, and a spacer portion separating the first and second channels by a certain distance.
Combination emergency wash and faucet unit
A combination emergency wash and faucet unit includes a base, an emergency wash arm pivotally coupled to the base, and a spout pivotally coupled to the base. The emergency wash arm includes an emergency wash unit that is rotatable relative to the base about a first vertical axis. The spout is rotatable relative to the base about a second vertical axis. The first vertical axis is offset from the second vertical axis.
