A faucet includes a handle and a handle connection system. The handle includes an opening and a handle annular projection at least partially extending about the opening. The handle connection system is configured to be partially contained within the opening, threadably coupled to a yoke, and selectively coupled to the handle annular projection. The handle connection system is configured to facilitate rotation of the handle relative to the yoke while the handle connection system is threadably coupled to the yoke.

A protective cap for a plumbing fitting is disclosed. The plumbing fitting has a body having a cavity with a flow path extending therethrough. The protective cap comprises a sealing surface. In a first mode the sealing surface is configured to engage with the body to seal the cavity. The protective cap further comprises a receptacle for receiving an actuator. In a second mode the protective cap engages with the actuator of a mechanism fitting within the cavity such that the protective cap forms a handle for the actuator.

A water control valve with offset valve core has a main body with a flowing slot, the circumferential wall of which is formed with a water inlet and outlet. An offset rotary valve core is configured offset inside the flowing slot and has a rotary shaft and a water stopping seat. The face of the water stopping seat faces the circumferential wall and has a sealing ring. When the water stopping seat rotates along with the offset rotary valve core and is aligned with the inlet, the sealing ring is pressed against the circumferential wall to close the inlet, thus forming the water stop mode. The rotary shaft and the circumferential wall of the flowing slot define a flowing space. The flow from the inlet must pass through the flowing space and exit through the outlet. A dialing component is used to connect and drive offset rotary valve core.

A probe assembly configured to selectively restrict fluid flow through an outlet of a closed transfer system. The probe assembly has an elongate probe body with a top end portion, a bottom end portion, an outer wall, and an internal structure defining a fluid chamber extending from the bottom end portion to the top end portion. The fluid chamber has a fluid chamber inlet at the bottom end portion extending through the outer wall into the fluid chamber and a fluid chamber outlet at the top end portion extending from the fluid chamber through the outer wall. A probe tip with a cylindrical bore is configured to engage the top end portion of the elongate probe body and a probe tip outlet is configured to be in fluid communication with the fluid chamber outlet. A rotating head located circumjacent to the probe tip and adjacent to the probe tip outlet is configured to rotate about the probe tip. The rotating head having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a vane extending from the inner surface through the outer surface.

The present invention provides an extension member for coupling with a quick coupler key. The extension member includes: a first member; a second member; a handle; and a third member. Methods of using the extension member for coupling with a pipe and a quick coupler key, which is coupled to a quick coupler assembly are also provided.

A handle includes a torque limiting device. The torque limiting device includes a plurality of driven members and a plurality of driving members. The plurality of driving members is configured to drive the plurality of driven members in a first direction to turn a valve. In response to turning the valve, the plurality of driving members disengages from the plurality of driven members upon reaching a torque threshold. Feedback is provided when the torque limiting device reaches the torque threshold.

The present invention relates to a tap cartridge that includes a routing of a cable that may transmit data and/or supply electricity, for a tap handle or lever with electronic functions, and which also relates to the tap containing said cartridge with the routing system, wherein the configuration of a parameter of the fluid supplied is performed by rotation of said handle or lever, all thanks to a positioning through the inner cartridge and of an extra accumulation of cable in a space of the cartridge prior to the connection of the lever.

Embodiments of the invention provide a probe assembly configured to selectively restrict fluid flow through an outlet of a closed transfer system. The probe assembly has an elongate probe body with a top end portion, a bottom end portion, an outer wall, and an internal structure defining a fluid chamber extending from the bottom end portion to the top end portion. The fluid chamber has a fluid chamber inlet at the bottom end portion extending through the outer wall into the fluid chamber and a fluid chamber outlet at the top end portion extending from the fluid chamber through the outer wall. A probe tip with a cylindrical bore is configured to engage the top end portion of the elongate probe body and a probe tip outlet is configured to be in fluid communication with the fluid chamber outlet. A rotating head located circumjacent to the probe tip and adjacent to the probe tip outlet is configured to rotate about the probe tip. The rotating head having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a vane extending from the inner surface through the outer surface.

A control knob for rotating a shaft in a household appliance, in particular for operating a valve shaft in a gas valve of a cooking hob. The control knob comprises: a knob element for manual operation by an operator, the knob element comprising an opening; and a coupling element made of light-transmitting material configured to send light through the opening towards the operator; the coupling element being configured to connect the knob element to the shaft in a rotationally fixed manner.
