A sprayhead retraction assembly includes a hose coupled at a first end to a faucet sprayhead and at a second end to a water source. The assembly further includes a first member having a first portion that is engaged with the hose between the first and second ends of the hose. The assembly further includes a constant-force spring coupled at a first end to a second portion of the first member and coupled at a second end to a fixed surface.

Spray head retraction assembly

A faucet mounting assembly for a faucet includes a conical nut and a receiving clip. The conical nut is coupled to a nozzle. The receiving clip is coupled to an inner surface of the faucet and is configured to receive the conical nut within. The receiving clip includes a substantially annular base, one or more tabs and a slot. The one or more tabs including fixed ends fixed to the substantially annular base and free ends opposite the fixed ends and bounded by the slot. The one or more tabs are configured to flex radially between a non-flexed position and a flexed position. The one or more tabs flex into the flexed position when the conical nut is repositioned in and out of engagement with the receiving clip and return to the non-flexed position when the conical nut is seated within the receiving clip.

Intelligent control faucet

An intelligent control faucet includes a faucet that includes a manual operation valve, an intelligent control module, a water egress tube, a cold water ingress tube, a hot water ingress tube, and a magnetic reed detection device. The water egress tube, the cold water ingress tube, and the hot water ingress tube are connected to the manual operation valve. The intelligent control module is connected, in a series manner, to the water egress tube. The magnetic reed detection device is mounted to the water egress tube and is connected through a feeding cable or directly to the intelligent control module. Water flow can be established or cut off through pulling the water egress tube so that the use is made easy.
