FAUCET WITH SAFETY INTERLOCK FOR NEAR-BOILING AND CHILLED WATER
A two-way or four-way water faucet dispenses near-boiling water on demand but has a safety interlock. A control valve assembly is attached to the faucet. The interlock uses two disks pressed into contact, each having a single projecting sector. One disk is fixed to the valve body. The other disk, fixed to the handle, slides against the first. The disks must be pulled apart by sliding the handle while it is being turned to superimpose the sectors and turn the control valve, connecting the faucet to the vented near-boiling water supply. A reed switch inside the fixed sector is activated by a magnet inside the rotatable sector and activates a near-boiling water pump.
Water flow control valve
A water control valve may comprise a valve shell, a sliding block, an operating valve piece, a fixing valve piece, a valve base and a check valve. The sliding block, the operating valve piece and the fixing valve piece are stacked sequentially and positioned inside the valve shell. The sliding block has a valve rod which is formed at an upper portion thereof and sticking out of the valve shell, and a bottom portion of the sliding block is engaged with the operating valve piece such that, through operating the valve rod, the sliding block is configured to drive and have movements with the operating valve piece concurrently to perform different aligning patterns between the operating valve piece and the fixing valve piece, thereby enabling the water control valve to control on/off operation of a faucet, the amount of water flow and the mixing ratio of hot/cold water.
WATER CONSERVATION FAUCETS
A water conservation faucet seamlessly integrating a tactile feedback mechanism into existing faucets to spur user controlled pre-set water flow rate, energy conservation, and cost savings. During movement of the handle, the user receives tactile feedback through the handle indicating the position of the handle as it moves from one pre-set position to the next. In addition to tactile feedback, the handle provides visual feedback to the user as the handle remains in the fixed position until the user chooses to move handle to another position.
