20240301672 · 2024-09-12 ·

A sprayer attachment with a faucet sleeve for securing to a tub faucet. The sprayer attachment includes a hose having a spray head at a first end and a faucet attachment disposed at an opposing second end, wherein the faucet attachment can be inserted within or around a faucet opening to allow water to pass through the hose to the spray head. The faucet sleeve extends from the second end of the hose, wherein the sleeve is movable between a non-use configuration and an in-use configuration. In the non-use configuration, the sleeve is rolled towards the first end, exposing the faucet attachment. In the in-use configuration, the faucet attachment is inserted within or around the faucet opening and the sleeve is unrolled, concealing the faucet attachment. The sleeve is flexible and elastic to secure around a length of the faucet.

QUICK CONNECT COUPLING DEVICE FOR USE WITH HOSES AND HOSES INCLUDING QUICK CONNECT COUPLING DEVICE
20180252346 · 2018-09-06 ·

A coupling device is provided for mounting onto a faucet having an externally threaded portion terminating in a free end. The device includes a pair clam-shell shaped members pivotably connected to each other to form a housing enclosing a tubular connector member having a connector at one end for connection to a hose. A pair of opposed shoes, a washer and a pressure applying member are located within the housing. An actuator lever is coupled to the clam-shells to pivot them with respect to each other into various positions. In one position the shoes are brought into engagement with the externally threaded end portion to mount the coupling device on the faucet. In another position the pressure applying member moves the tubular connector member into engagement with the washer to compress the washer between it and the free end surface of the faucet to couple the faucet to it in a fluid-tight interface.

A coupling device for mounting onto the spout of a faucet is disclosed. The device is connected or connectable to a hose and includes an elastomeric sleeve and a clamp assembly. The clamp assembly includes a housing and a pressure applying member. The housing has a cavity holding the sleeve between a back wall and the pressure applying member. The sleeve receives the externally threaded spout. The pressure applying member is movable to a closed position to compress the sleeve tightly about the spout to releasably secure the device to the faucet. The pressure applying member is also movable to an open position to release the spout from the sleeve. Also disclosed is a cap device for releasably sealing an externally threaded mouth of a bottle or other hollow vessel and making use of an elastomeric sleeve and a clamp assembly similar in many respects to the coupling device.

A RV winterizing method that introduces antifreeze to a RV system using a reverse flow procedure by using fittings or a coupling, where the coupling includes a band composed from a strip with a set of ends which over lap when the strip wraps around itself, a knob situated above the set of ends at a top portion of the band, wherein the knob adjust the band. A semi-tubular fitting is braced within the band where the semi-tubular fitting includes a set of lips extending up an inner wall of the band. A hole arranged at a central bottom portion of the semi-tubular fitting. Finally, a fitting continuing from the hole wherein the band attaches to a faucet to create a watertight seal, and enables a non-toxic antifreeze to flow through the fitting, into the faucet and into a plumbing system.
