CONTROL DEVICE FOR A WATER SUPPLY PLUMBING FIXTURE
20230023445 · 2023-01-26 ·

A command device for a water supply plumbing fixture that extends along a main axis and has a base group fluidically connectable to at least one inlet line and to supply lines, and an activation and regulation group engaged with the base group is provided. The activation and regulation group has a plurality of activation members configurable in an active configuration and a passive configuration in which the activation members respectively allow or prevent passage of water to a respective supply line, and a regulation member having an annular adjustment crown angularly rotatable, the activation members being housed at least in part within the adjustment crown, and a valve element, housed at least in part inside the adjustment crown, engaged with the base group and with the adjustment crown, so that each angular position of the adjustment crown corresponds to a respective configuration of the valve element.

METHOD OF MODIFYING A FLUID SUPPLY FEATURE
20230228071 · 2023-07-20 ·

A method of modifying a fluid supply feature having a conduit communicating fluid from a source to a valve through which fluid is delivered to a point of use. The method includes the steps of: obtaining a kit made up of a plurality of components; and interconnecting the plurality of components with each other and at least one of the conduit and valve to thereby maintain the plurality of components in an operative relationship wherein the plurality of components overlie an exposed surface on at least one of the valve and conduit.

SANITARY EQUIPMENT PART
20230017857 · 2023-01-19 ·

A part includes a base material, a colored layer on the base material, and a surface layer on the colored layer, wherein the colored layer contains Zr, and optionally, C and/or N, a ratio (H.sub.Zr .sub.oxide/H.sub.Zr) of a peak height derived from Zr oxide (H.sub.Zr oxide) to a peak height of Zr (H.sub.Zr) at an interface of the colored layer on the side of the surface layer is more than 0 and less than 4.5, the interface is a point where Zr is detected by sputtering the part from the side of the surface layer with an XPS depth direction analysis, and the ratio (H.sub.Zr oxide/H.sub.Zr) at a point where Ar sputtering is performed for 5 minutes from the interface of the colored layer on the side of the surface layer with the XPS depth direction analysis is 0 to less than 3. The surface layer is water-repellent and exhibits a sputtering time of 5 minutes or less

ADJUSTABLE FLUIDIC COUPLING
20220396935 · 2022-12-15 ·

An adjustable fluidic coupling includes a fluid channel extending between an upstream fluid inlet and a downstream fluid outlet. An inlet part includes a first conduit extending therethrough between the inlet at an upstream end and a first connection port at a downstream end portion. An outlet part includes a second conduit extending therethrough between the outlet at a downstream end and a second connection port at an upstream end portion. The coupling further includes a compression member selectively movable between a first position and a second position. The fluid inlet includes a threaded portion for torqued threaded connection of the inlet to a threaded end of the wall outlet, and an inlet seal fluidly sealing the inlet port to the wall outlet.
