  • Patent number: 5194156
    Abstract: An improved faucet having a quick disconnect adapter, fitting for connecting a sink faucet, to a water purifier which has a body (22) defining three passageways for receiving and retaining three jointly sheathed resilient tubes. Each passageway has a separate function, i.e., supplying water to the purifier receiving and dumping overflow and metering waste flow. The tubes are held in place on a side connector (28) with a tube retainer (72). A quick-disconnect assembly attaches the fitting to the faucet adapter and includes a sleeve (50) with inwardly facing jaws (56) and a retracting collar (66) with a compression spring (68) permitting manual release or attachment by withdrawal of the jaws. A two-position valve (82) provides volume control for the waste flow and allows periodical flushing of deposits from the purifier.
