Patent number: 10718103Abstract: A shower valve assembly configured to divert water between a tub port and a shower port. The diverter valve assembly position or state is changed by pushing a button connected to a stem and a poppet valve. When the water supply is turned off, a poppet spring shifts the poppet valve to a tub open position, and a check valve spring opens a check valve, allowing water from the shower port to flow out of the tub port.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2018Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Delta Faucet CompanyInventors: Brian W. Johnson, Todd A. Huffington, Mark A. Cipriani, Garry R. Marty

Patent number: 9687860Abstract: A showerhead assembly includes an adapter having a tube extending between a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being supported by a shower arm. A fluid connector includes a ball having an outlet, a stem having an inlet, and a fluid passageway extending along a longitudinal axis between the inlet and the outlet. A spray engine is fluidly coupled to the ball of the fluid connector. A retainer body is supported by the stem of the fluid connector and includes a radially inwardly facing engagement surface. A collet is operably coupled to the retainer body and is configured to be concentrically received intermediate the adapter and retainer body. The collet includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced fingers supporting radially extending teeth configured to engage the adapter.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2015Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Delta Faucet CompanyInventors: Todd A. Huffington, Patrick B. Jonte

Patent number: 8936298Abstract: A field configurable vehicle armoring system and associated method allow a user to retrofit and reconfigure a combination of armor components in response to a perceived threat change and using original equipment manufacture fasteners and holes. The system includes pillar armor attachable after an original equipment manufacture door and hinge are removed. Fasteners extend through the hinge of the armored door, the pillar armor and an original equipment manufacture pillar using holes other than the original equipment manufacture holes. Rocker panel and underbody armor is further provided, along with a ballistic resistant windscreen and rear wall armor. Where desired, system armor includes a composite plate comprising a strike face that is constructed from softer metallic material than an inner metallic sheet.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2009Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: BAE Systems Tactical Vehicle Systems, LPInventors: Michael S.
