FIXING STRUCTURE FOR FLUSHING DEVICE

A fixing structure for flushing devices, including a fixed seat, a guiding connection part, a first magnetic part, and a second magnetic part. The fixed seat has two opposite ends; one is fixed to a fixed plane, while the other has a recess. The first magnetic part is provided in the recess; the guiding connection part is provided on the flushing device to connect the flushing head and an outlet pipe. The second magnetic part is provided on the guiding connection part; when the guiding connection part is close to the recess, the second magnetic part magnetically attract the first magnetic part. The first magnetic part and the second magnetic part are magnets or magnetic. Therefore, users can connect the guiding connection part with the fixed seat without exerting a force. Furthermore, the fixing structure can be magnetically attracted to positioning without visual confirmation, which is more convenient to use.

Top-mount twist-on faucet
09719236 · 2017-08-01 · ·

A top-mount faucet assembly includes a coupling mounted on a counter that selectively couples a faucet thereto. The counter coupling has a disc-shaped collar with two keepers and a land for selectively locking the faucet. The land has a v-shaped part and a n-shaped part. The faucet has a main valve body with a locking assembly. To couple the faucet to the counter coupling, the main valve body is placed over the coupling and turned clockwise so that slots align with the keepers to fix the faucet axially to the coupling. As the faucet rotates clockwise, the locking assembly rides along the v-shaped part until captured by the n-shaped part to lock the faucet in place rotationally. To uncouple the faucet from the coupling, a button is pushed so that the locking assembly moves radially inward out from the n-shaped part, then the faucet is turned counter-clockwise.

Faucet fixation system

A faucet fixation system includes a fastener configured to couple to a faucet, and a connector. The connector includes a base and a nut assembly. The base includes a bore. The nut assembly is disposed in the bore around a portion of the fastener, and includes a first locking member, which has a first threaded portion and a first actuating portion, and a second locking member, which has a second threaded portion and a second actuating portion. In a locking position of the connector, the first and second threaded portions engage threads of the fastener to prohibit relative translational movement between the connector and the fastener while allowing the connector to rotate along the threads of the fastener. In a non-locking position of the connector, the first and second threaded portions disengage the threads of the fastener to allow translational movement of the connector relative to the fastener.
