Composite faucet body and internal waterway
The present application generally relates to a faucet. The faucet includes a continuous internal waterway and a body. The continuous internal waterway includes a first chamber, a second chamber, a valve seat, and a waterway. The second chamber is configured to receive water from a water source. The valve seat is coupled to the first chamber and the second chamber. The valve seat is in fluid communication with the second chamber. The waterway is in fluid communication with the valve seat. The body encapsulates the continuous internal waterway. The faucet is operational to receive the water from the water source and to provide the water to the waterway. The body is isolated from the water by the continuous internal waterway during operation of the faucet.
CANTILEVERED FAUCET SPOUT
A faucet assembly including a spout with two fluid channels spaced apart from one another by a void. In an illustrative embodiment, the fluid channels converge near at least one outlet of the faucet assembly to create a desired flow pattern (e.g., waterfall flow) when the water source is operational and fluidly coupled to the faucet assembly. In an illustrative embodiment, the faucet spout is formed through additive manufacturing.
FAUCET INCLUDING A ROTATABLE SPOUT ARM
A faucet assembly including a spout arm supported by a spout hub and configured to rotate about a vertical axis. In an illustrative embodiment, the faucet assembly is formed through additive manufacturing.
Electronic user interface for electronic mixing of water for residential faucets
A water delivery system is disclosed. The water delivery system may have an electronic user interface. The electronic user interface may be a portable device. The electronic user interface may include inputs to select water temperature, water flow rates, water flow patterns, and/or task based presets. A mixing valve for use with either manual faucets or electronic faucets is disclosed.
Via hole mounting apparatus
A top mount mechanism is located at the bottom of a mixer, faucet, or tap. The top mounting mechanism includes the following parts: a top mount flange (2), a clamp plate (3), and connecting accessories. The top mount flange (2) and clamp plate (3) are linked via the connecting accessories. The top mount flange is located at the bottom of a mixer, faucet, or tap, flexible hoses from a mixer, faucet, or tap go through the top mount flange (2) and clamp plate (3). Connecting accessories includes a clamp screw (4) and guide pins (5) at the sides, the clamp plate (3) can rotate through a spigot (7) on the guide pins (5), and it is connected to the clamp screw (4) via thread connection, the clamp plate (3) moves up and down sliding along the guide pins (5).
Sensor-operated pull-out faucet
A sensor-operated pull-out faucet can include a spout having a hose disposed therein, a pull-out spray head fluidly coupled to the hose and configured to dock at an end of the spout, and a sensor assembly disposed at least partially in the spout proximate the end of the spout. The sensor assembly can include a sensor and a shutter disposed adjacent the sensor. The shutter can be operable to obscure the sensor in a closed state and expose the sensor in an open state. The faucet can also include a control unit communicatively coupled to the sensor and configured to control fluid flow through the hose and the pull-out spray head based on control signals generated by the sensor.
Magnetic coupling for sprayheads
A faucet including a faucet head, a body and a magnetic coupling releasably coupling the faucet head to the faucet body.
FAUCET DEVICE
A faucet device includes a hot water/water mixing valve, a water purification cartridge, a primary side flow path that supplies water to the hot water/water mixing valve and the water purification cartridge, and a secondary side flow path that discharges mixed water flowing out from the hot water/water mixing valve and purified water flowing out from the water purification cartridge to a water discharge port. The primary side flow path and the secondary side flow path are disposed between the hot water/water mixing valve and the water purification cartridge.
Pull-out water outlet apparatus
A pull-out water outlet apparatus has a support mechanism and a water outlet mechanism with a water outlet portion. A pull hose connected to the end of the water outlet extends from the support mechanism port into the support mechanism, the water outlet mechanism has a guide means, the inner wall of the support mechanism has a guide groove, wherein the guide means includes a leading portion extending from the outer rotary wall of the water outlet mechanism and at least one auxiliary portion, the height that the leading portion extends out of the outer rotary wall is greater than the height that the auxiliary portion extends out of the outer rotary wall. The inner wall of the support mechanism has a portion for recessing the guide groove and a rest portion, the guide groove leads to the support mechanism port and forms the guide groove inlet.
Faucet with hose connection
The present invention provides a faucet with a hose connection that is easier to assemble, install, uninstall, and disassemble. The faucet includes a hose, a valve body, a mounting shank, a first hose retainer, and a second hose retainer. The mounting shank includes a first end and a second end. The first hose retainer includes a base section. The base section includes a first hose opening. The second hose retainer includes a first end section, a second end section, and an intermediate section. The first end section includes a second hose opening. The second end section includes a first hose retainer opening. The intermediate section includes a first hose retainer channel. The hose is fluidically connected to the valve body at or near the first end of the mounting shank. The hose is mechanically connected to the valve body at or near the second end of the valve body.
