Manifold for dispensing units
A manifold for water dispensing units includes a manifold body having: one or more inlet paths, an outlet path, a collecting chamber delimited by a lateral wall and communicating with the inlet paths and with the outlet path. The collecting chamber is configured to receive a cartridge body for the regulation of flow. A safety group is associated to the manifold body and includes: a flange removably attached to the manifold body, a safety shutter provided with through inlet gaps and with shut-off surfaces and a control body for the movement of the safety shutter: from a first position in which the through inlet gaps communicate with the inlet paths and contrast means prevent the separation of the control body and the cartridge body from the manifold body, to a second position in which the shut-off surfaces sealingly close the inlet paths. A sliding surface allows the separation of the control body and the cartridge body from the manifold body, and vice versa.
EXPOSED HOSE FAUCET
A fluid delivery device comprises a faucet. The faucet includes a hub, a sprayhead, and a hose coupling the hub to the sprayhead. Each end of the hose has a pivot coupling. One of the pivot couplings is configured to permit rotation of the hose relative to the hub. Another of the pivot couplings is configured to permit rotation of the sprayhead relative to the hose.
Faucet with offset valve
A faucet assembly includes a faucet body having a mounting axis in a direction the faucet body projects from a mounting point. The assembly further includes a valve housing projecting from the faucet body and a valve disposed in the valve housing. The valve is configured to rotate about an axis parallel to and offset from the mounting axis.
HANDLE ASSEMBLY AND A FAUCET WITH THE SAME
The present disclosure relates to the field of fluid switch, and in particular, to an handle assembly and a faucet with the same, wherein the handle assembly comprises a handle including a handle rod; a handle housing which has an inner cavity and a through-hole, and the through-hole is defined by an inner wall which is formed by the handle housing extending towards the inner cavity from its one end, the through-hole is configured to be tapered at a transition position where the inner wall connects the handle housing, and the handle rod is rotatably fitted into the though-hole; a first wear-resistant member which is elastic and received in an accommodating area formed by a transition part of the through-hole and the handle rod; and a second wear-resistant member which is engaged to the handle rod and rests against the inner wall so that the handle rod and the handle housing are positioned on the same plane by suffered the limitation of the second wear-resistant member after making the handle rod and the handle housing in place.
METERED DISPENSE INPUT DEVICE
The present disclosure relates to a metered dispense input device that wirelessly communicates with a wireless control module of an electronic faucet to allow wireless control of the faucet such that selected volumes of water can be dispensed. The present disclosure further relates to a metered dispense input device that is integrated into an electronic faucet to allow the dispensing of selected volumes of water.
Faucet assembly with friction ring
Disclosed is a friction ring including a body and a contact member. The body is configured to couple the friction ring to at least one of a faucet assembly or a faucet valve assembly. The contact member is disposed on the body. The contact member is configured to slidably engage with a valve stem of the faucet valve assembly. The contact member is further configured to press against the valve stem to increase a frictional force between the contact member and the valve stem over a full range of movement of the valve stem.
PERPETUAL FLOW FAUCET ASSEMBLY
A perpetual flow faucet assembly includes an inflow fitting that is fluidly coupled to a fluid source. A ball valve is positioned within the inflow fitting. The ball valve is positionable in an open position thereby facilitating a fluid to flow through the inflow valve. Additionally, the ball valve is positionable in a closed position thereby inhibiting the fluid to flow through the inflow valve. An outflow fitting is fluidly coupled to the inflow fitting such that the outflow fitting receives the fluid from the ball valve when the ball valve is opened. An outflow restrictor is positioned within the outflow fitting for restricting a rate of flow of the fluid through the outflow fitting. A spout is fluidly coupled to the outflow fitting such that the spout receives the fluid when the ball valve is opened thereby directing the fluid into the dipping well.
WATER MIXER WITH LEVER HANDLE
A water mixer with mixer cartridge (40) with control element (42) and lever handle (31) operable from left to right to control the ratio water flow from respective hot and cold intakes to a single outlet (18), and about a transverse axis to control rate of flow. A mixer body (20) defines a post (22) and a protruding outlet arm (24) at its end. The body defines, at the aforesaid end of the post and extending into the arm, a rim (25) about a recess (26) that receives part of the lever handle in a central off position thereof. In another aspect, lever handle (31) is pivotally mounted to support (50, 150) at a first pivot (52,54) that is fixed against translation and to the control element of the cartridge at a second pivot (48) that is slidable in a slot (39).
Mixer water faucet
A mixer water faucet for installation through a bore in a work surface in proximity to a water supply, includes a stationary housing extending transversely through the bore; a faucet body mounted onto the housing, rotatable relative thereto; a main and auxiliary spouts extending from the housing; main and auxiliary supply hoses extending through the housing for conveying water to the main and auxiliary spouts, respectively; and a diverter for selectably directing a supply of water to the main and auxiliary spouts, wherein the main spout rotates about a rotation axis extending through the faucet body, the rotation causing a lateral movement and partial twisting of the auxiliary water supply hose with respect to the main water supply hose thereby to allow thereby to allow freedom of movement of the auxiliary spout and the auxiliary hose during extension and retraction thereof.
Adjustable handle device for use with a valve stem
The adjustable handle device for use with a valve stem comprises a body, a cap, a plurality of jaws, and a handle. The device may couple to a valve stem of a faucet in place of a valve handle that is missing or broken. The plurality of jaws located within the body may be raised and lowered by rotating the cap relative to the body. A jaw thread on the plurality of jaws may engage a cap thread on the interior of the cap to cause movement of the jaws. The jaws may be included by a jaw inclination angle such that raising or lowering the jaws may cause the lower ends of the jaws to separate or to converge. Convergence of the lower ends of the jaws may allow the jaws to grip a valve stem. A handle may cover the cap to enhance the user's grasp.
