  • Water control and distribution apparatus
    Patent number: 4147631
    Abstract: A water filter apparatus includes a housing having a horizontally-disposed base unit. A coupling upstands from one end portion of the base unit and is attachable to a faucet for receiving a supply of water. An outlet is downwardly directed from the base unit to discharge water received through the coupling. Also disposed within the base unit is a valve that selectively permits the flow of water through the coupling and in discharge from the outlet. Upstanding from another portion of the base unit is an inverted cup-shaped cap. An input fluid channel within the base unit leads from the valve to the chamber defined by the cap, and the valve selectively permits the flow of water through the coupling into the input channel and from that into the chamber. A filter cartridge disposed within the cap has an inlet opening communicating water from the input channel to the filter material.
