Faucet extender
A faucet extender having a channel adapted to extend and divert a fluid out of an open edge away from a faucet opening. The faucet extender may have a fluid outlet fitting having a receiving opening and a flow-through opening. The faucet extender may have an attachment mechanism that pivotally rotates and secures the fluid outlet fitting in an angle that diverts the fluid to the open edge. The faucet extender is adapted to interface with a variety of different faucet configurations.
FAUCET APPARATUS
The object of the present invention is to provide a faucet apparatus in which both the area for the air inlet port and the area for the babble-water flow discharge port are secured, without excessively increasing sizes of a faucet aerator cap and a faucet apparatus. The air inlet port is provided in a lateral surface of the faucet aerator cap. The flow channel of the spout is provided with a communication port for guiding air between the outside wall and the flow channel toward the air inlet port.
Water Outlet Device
A water outlet device comprises a water inlet mechanism, a diversion mechanism, and a guide mechanism rotatably connected to the water inlet mechanism. The diversion mechanism is disposed in the water inlet mechanism and penetrates through the axis of the guide mechanism. The water inlet mechanism comprises a water inlet channel. The diversion mechanism comprises a first water outlet channel. The guide mechanism comprises a second water outlet channel and a third water outlet channel. When the guide mechanism moves with respect to the diversion mechanism, the water inlet channel is communicated with the first water outlet channel, the second water outlet channel or the third water outlet channel. The water outlet device can realize switching of multiple water forms to discharge three types of functional water in a limited space and has a small size and rich functions.

Hot water use warning device for faucets
A low-cost hot water use warning device, having the shape of an aerator housing, including a metallic housing inner core (2) with threads configured for attachment to a faucet and a ridged indented channel for accommodating a thermochromic belt (6) or band that may constitute several layers including an outer thermochromic layer (10) capable of changing its color at a certain temperature, a second high thermal conductivity layer (11) made of copper for evening out temperature gradients and a third low heat conducting polymeric layer (12) for imposing a controlled delay. At each vertical side of the thermochromic belt are flanking wedge-shaped isolation grooves (7). The device operates as an awareness indicator for informing a faucet user of excessive temperature and duration of hot water use.
