FAUCET WITH INTEGRATED SOAP DISPENSER
A faucet having an integrated dispensing device is provided. The faucet includes a center shaft centered on an axis, a handle portion extending away from the center shaft at a first angle and coupled to the center shaft, and a dispensing device rotatably coupled to the center shaft about the axis. The dispensing device includes a dispensing body and a dispensing arm. The dispensing body defines a first end proximate to the handle portion and a second end opposite the first end. The dispensing arm is coupled with the dispensing body and extends away from the dispensing body at a second angle, the second angle being the same as the first angle.
VALVE CARTRIDGE HOUSING ASSEMBLY
A faucet assembly including a housing body, a valve assembly received within the housing body, and a waterway assembly having a base supporting the valve assembly. A face seal is positioned between the valve assembly and the base of the waterway assembly. An upper radial seal is positioned between the valve assembly and an internal surface of the housing body, and a lower radial seal is positioned between the base and the internal surface of the housing body.
Electronic faucet with smart features
A faucet is provided that electronically controls the flow volume and temperature of water being dispensed. The faucet illustratively includes a faucet body and a faucet handle. In some embodiments, the faucet may include a faucet body and be voice controlled. The faucet illustratively includes an inertial motion unit sensor mounted in the faucet handle to sense spatial orientation of the faucet handle. The faucet illustratively includes an electronic flow control system to adjust flow volume and temperature of water being dispensed. The faucet illustratively includes a controller configured to receive signals from the inertial motion unit sensor and control the electronic flow control system to adjust flow volume and temperature of water being dispensed based upon the position of the faucet handle.
Wall-mounted faucet
A wall-mounted faucet may include a control handle, five adapters, a positioning member, and a panel set. The panel set has different adjusting pieces and locating sleeves to be selected such that the wall-mounted faucet can be applied to different sizes of control valves through different of the adapters, the adjusting pieces, and the locating sleeves. Also, the panel set has a plurality of locking points and locking boards, which increases the convenience for assembly.
FAUCET HANDLE WITH ANGLED INTERFACE
A faucet assembly including a handle that rotates about a rotational axis extending perpendicular to an angled interface for adjusting a first water parameter. A dial is supported for rotation independent of the handle for adjusting a second water parameter.
Showerhead bracket
A showerhead bracket including a bracket body, a spool rotatable relative to the bracket body, and a flow control knob non-rotatably connected to the spool such that the flow control knob and the spool rotate together relative to the bracket body. The flow control knob non-slidably connected to the spool to inhibit axial disengagement of the flow control knob from the spool.
Valve enclosure
A valve enclosure and side handle faucet system comprising the valve enclosure. The valve enclosure comprises an inlet portion, an outlet portion and a valve cavity. The valve enclosure further comprises a ball valve and is mounted to the side of a spout such that fluid enters the valve cavity perpendicularly from a fluid inlet line and exits the cavity perpendicularly from an outlet such that the distance between the input and output flow to the cavity is minimized.
FAUCET WATERWAY ASSEMBLY WITH MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION DEVICE BETWEEN HANDLE INTERFACE AND VALVE
A faucet waterway assembly is provided having a housing comprising a first valve for controlling flow of hot water and second valve for controlling flow of cold water. A first handle interface is configured to attach to a first handle for controlling the first valve and to rotate about a first axis of rotation that is spaced apart from the housing. A first mechanical transmission device is provided coupled to the first handle interface and coupled to the first valve, wherein rotation of the first handle interface about the first axis of rotation causes the mechanical transmission device to cause rotation of the first valve about a second axis of rotation to control the flow of hot water. A second handle interface for controlling the second valve is provided, along with a corresponding second mechanical transmission device for coupling the second handle interface to the second valve.
Multi-line faucet with undercounter valve assembly
A faucet system includes a first assembly configured for positioning above an upper surface of a support, the first assembly including a handle that is movable between an on configuration and an off configuration, a second assembly configured for positioning below a bottom surface of a support, the second assembly including a valve assembly configured to connect to two or more fluid lines; and an elongated member: coupling the second assembly to the first assembly such that moving the handle between the on configuration and the off configuration causes the elongated member to operate the valve assembly, and having a hollow interior defining a fluid pathway between second assembly and the first assembly through which fluid from at least one of the two or more fluid lines is provided to the first assembly when the handle is in the on configuration.
Faucet handle with dual valve stem cavities
A faucet handle comprising two valve stem cavities. A first valve stem cavity is different from second valve stem cavity in at least one characteristic of size, shape, or orientation to allow a single faucet handle to be used with different valve stems for different types of applications. A first valve stem cavity may be configured to receive a valve stem in a substantially vertical orientation as may be commonly used with a lavatory faucet application and a second valve stem cavity may be configured to receive a valve stem in an angled orientation as may be commonly used with a tub or shower faucet application. Any combination of differing characteristics may be used for the first and second valve cavities to accommodate different valve stem characteristics.
