Patent number: 7775462Abstract: A spray device for use as a supplementary fluid output, having a mixing chamber for receiving and mixing fluid from two input supplies which supplies mixed fluid to a spray head through a flexible conduit. The relative proportions of input supplies received in the mixing chamber is controlled by a mix controller having a mix actuator which is connected to a mix valve associated with the mixing chamber by an upstanding rotatable sleeve. The spray device is mounted on a hole in a work surface by mounting means. The flexible conduit and the upstanding rotatable sleeve pass through the hole in the work surface and a bore in the mounting means. The mix controller may control the rate of fluid flow through the device.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2006Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Hornbeam Ivy LimitedInventors: William Peter Herring, James Moore

Patent number: 7607449Abstract: A mixer tap assembly is shown which has a mixing chamber for mixing fluids from two inputs, and a mix controller to control the ratio of fluid flow into the mixing chamber from the inputs. The mix controller includes a mix actuator which operates a mix control apparatus, such as a rotatable sleeve, which is connected to a mix valve apparatus associated with the mixing chamber. The mix actuator and a fluid outlet are mountable on or above a work surface via a mounting apparatus, while the mixing chamber is mountable below the work surface. Furthermore, the mix control apparatus and an output conduit, between the fluid outlet and the mixing chamber, pass through a bore in the mounting means, so minimizing the footprint of the mixer tap assembly on the work surface.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2006Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignee: Hornbeam Ivy LimitedInventors: William Peter Herring, James Moore

Patent number: 7320336Abstract: A plug which is insertable into a outlet from a vessel, to seal the vessel so that it may hold liquid. To prevent overflow, the plug has an in-built valve which automatically opens when it experiences a predetermined threshold pressure. The threshold pressure can be adjusted to cater for vessels of differing size.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2006Date of Patent: January 22, 2008Assignee: Hornbeam Ivy LimitedInventors: William Peter Herring, James Moore

Patent number: 7090154Abstract: A tap has a flexible hose for delivering water and a support for the flexible hose. The support comprises a channel with an open mouth along its length. The flexible hose is removably mounted in the channel such that it is supported along at least the majority of its length and can be removed by lifting out of the mouth of the channel. When removed from its support the flexible hose extends the reach of the tap, and when mounted in the support it is kept in an orderly position where it does not interfere with e.g. washing and cooking. The tap can be wall or deck mounted. Preferably the channel is U-shaped and has a semi-circular cross section, which conforms to the shape of the hose. The hose may have a spray head at its distal end.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2003Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Hornbeam Ivy LimitedInventor: William Peter Herring

Patent number: 5073992Abstract: A liquid dispenser is associated with a flush lavatory to enable disenfectant or liquid to be dispensed into the lavatory. The liquid dispenser has a reservoir, a pump and an outlet conduit. The liquid dispenser is preferably located in the cistern of the lavatory and liquid may be dispensed into the cistern or directly into the lavatory bowl. Normally, a part of the pump extends through the wall or lid of the cistern, and that part may be removable from a sleeve of the pump to enable the reservoir to be filled through that sleeve. A slot and a projection may be provided to cause the removable part to engage with the sleeve to prevent accidental removal.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 1990Date of Patent: December 24, 1991Assignee: Hornbeam Ivy LimitedInventors: William P.
