Abstract: A manually operated switch for a faucet has a body, an inner pipe, a switching valve assembly. The body is hollow. The inner pipe is located inside of the body and has a flowing way. The flowing way is formed through the inner pipe. The switching valve assembly is slidably mounted inside of the flowing way of the inner pipe and extends out the body. When the switching valve assembly closes the flowing way of the inner pipe, the water pressure will keep the switching valve assembly closed. After the water pressure applied to the switching valve assembly is released or dismissed, the switching valve assembly returns back to an original position so that the flowing way is opened. The opening and closing flowing way can manually control the way of water flowing so that a user may not be scared or burned by the water.

Abstract: An improved wall faucet, which is to put through the locking ends on both sides of water faucet to connect the locking units and position the water faucet on the shutter of the granite counter; in addition, the locking screw cap would be jointed closely with the non-returning pad after being locked on the locking end of the water faucet to prevent the water's effusion from the locking end. In accordance with the structure, because the locking unit is designed direcly on the locking end to make water can be guided directly and vertically to the locking screw cap and perforation and position the water faucet on the shutter of the granite counter, the interval between the shutter and wall can be shortened properly for saving space and costs in connection materials.

Abstract: A valve assembly for installation into deck-mounted tubs includes a valve body, a top plate that engages with the valve body, a bottom plate, and an adjustment member that bears against the valve body and engages with the bottom plate. The adjustment member is accessible from above the deck and moves the top plate, valve body, and bottom plate relative to each other. This allows the valve assembly to be tightened completely from above the deck even if the bottom portion of the assembly is inaccessible. The adjustment member is a jack screw or other threaded member that can be adjusted with a conventional screwdriver, eliminating the need for specialized installation tools.

Abstract: An improved mounting unit of wall faucet mainly is to design two locking ends extruded on the shutter near the granite counter to lock the locking units and position the water faucet on the granite counter; in addition, the locking ends are designed on the non-returning pads in the locking screw caps to prevent the water flow from effusion from the locking units. Therefore, because the locking units are locked directly on the locking ends of the water faucet and the water flow can directly flow from the locking screw caps of the locking units and inner thread portion vertically, so as to shorten the interval between the shutter and wall after the installation of water faucet into the shutter of a granite counter for saving space and costs in connection materials.

Abstract: A sink may include a basin and a faucet assembly foldably mounted relative to the basin. The faucet assembly is rotatable between an upright position wherein the faucet assembly protrudes out from the basin and a folded position wherein the faucet assembly is received within the basin.

Abstract: A spray valve is configured with a fluid path that always provides dynamic water flow on both opposite surfaces of the seating flange of the valve stem when the valve is almost completely closed and when the valve is just beginning to be opened. This equalization of dynamic pressure from the incoming water flow tends to reduce the frequency of vibration that is imposed upon the valve stem and biasing member by the incoming water flow. A check valve is built into the spray valve, which has a trigger lock and a selectively removable spray disk. The valve has an outer sleeve that surrounds the valve's base member and defines a gap therebetween and is formed of mechanical shock-resilient, heat-insulating material.

Abstract: An adapter for retrofitting a conventional gooseneck faucet to allow for touch-free activation. The sensor unit of the adapter is attached by simply passing it over the spout of the gooseneck faucet and towards the base of the faucet where it is locked in place by a clamp. Once in place, the sensor unit uses infrared light to sense the proximity of hands under the faucet. When hands are sensed, the control unit mounted under the sink will activate the faucet for as long as hands remain under the faucet.

Abstract: A faucet spray head includes a diverter valve that has a diverter stem constructed and arranged to control water flow patterns. The stem includes a neck and a head that is larger than the neck. A shell encloses the diverter valve, and the shell has an opening through which the stem extends. A pivot member is coupled to the shell, and a rocker arm is pivotally coupled to the pivot member. The rocker arm has a retention opening, and the retention opening is adapted to slidably receive and retain the head of the stem during assembly of the rocker arm to the pivot member. The rocker arm is attached to the diverter valve in order to actuate the valve. The spray head includes lock pins that are configured to engage a lock insert that is secured to a spout.

Abstract: A diverter spout has a drain pipe, a connecting sleeve, an offset shaft, a resilient element between the drain pipe and the offset shaft, a pole for manual operation, a supporting sleeve and an envelope. At least a leakproof rubber ring is mounted around the offset shaft. Due to interferential friction between the leakproof rings and the connecting sleeve or the supporting sleeve and water pressure, a blocking portion of the offset shaft controls the water to flow only through a spout. In normal state, the resilient element overcomes interferential friction between the leakproof rings and the connecting sleeve or the supporting sleeve and controls the water to flow only through a drain opening of the drainpipe. Therefore, water diverts reliably without leakage.

Each snap finger includes a projection that fits into a groove in the connecting shaft when the spray head is docked. An elastomeric O-ring surrounds the annular wall at a point where the O-ring engages the snap fingers to bias them toward the groove. Ridges on the exterior surface of the wall retain the O-ring in place. The spout and docked spray head have parallel shoulders that define a mating plane. The projections and groove define a retaining plane. The mating plane is not parallel to the retaining plane such that rotation of the spray head about an axis normal to the mating plane will cause the projections to release from the groove.

Abstract: A spray head for a faucet or the like has a wand body defining a flow path from an inlet to first and second outlets. Diverter seats are provided so a face seal on a diverter spool can direct flow to the first or second outlet. The spool is positioned by a trigger acting on cam surfaces formed on a toggle. A spring biases the toggle to one of two stable states. Movement of the spool by the trigger causes the toggle to change states so subsequent actuation of the trigger causes the spool to move in the opposite direction. The wand body also has a pause button that reciprocates in a chamber that is part of the flow path. The chamber includes a valve seat and the pause button has a spool having a face seal that is engageable with the valve seat to shut off flow through the spray head.
