  • Patent number: 12038092
    Abstract: A faucet that includes a housing, a first valve, a handle body, a handle, and a second valve. The first valve is disposed at least in part within the housing and controls one of a flow rate and a temperature. The handle body has an elongated base, which extends from the housing along a longitudinal axis and is operatively coupled to the first valve, such that rotation of handle body about the longitudinal axis relative to the housing controls the first valve. The handle extends from the base along a radial axis relative to the longitudinal axis. The second valve is disposed at least in part within the handle and controls the other of the flow rate and the temperature, the second valve operatively couples the handle to the base, such that rotation of the handle about the radial axis relative to the handle body controls the second valve.

  • Patent number: 11208791
    Abstract: A faucet fixation system includes a fastener configured to couple to a faucet, and a connector. The connector includes a base and a nut assembly. The base includes a bore. The nut assembly is disposed in the bore around a portion of the fastener, and includes a first locking member, which has a first threaded portion and a first actuating portion, and a second locking member, which has a second threaded portion and a second actuating portion. In a locking position of the connector, the first and second threaded portions engage threads of the fastener to prohibit relative translational movement between the connector and the fastener while allowing the connector to rotate along the threads of the fastener. In a non-locking position of the connector, the first and second threaded portions disengage the threads of the fastener to allow translational movement of the connector relative to the fastener.

  • Patent number: 10724215
    Abstract: A faucet fixation system that includes a fastener and a connector having a base and a nut assembly. The base has a longitudinal bore receiving the fastener and a radial bore. The nut assembly is disposed in the radial bore and includes first and second locking members each having threaded and actuating portions disposed on opposite sides of the fastener. In a locking position, at least one locking member is moved relative to the base such that the threaded portions engage the fastener to prohibit relative sliding movement between the connector and the fastener while allowing the connector to rotate along the threads of the fastener. In a non-locking position, at least one locking member is moved relative to the base such that the threaded portions disengage the fastener to allow movement of the connector relative to the fastener.
