Abstract: Disclosed is a friction ring including a body and a contact member. The body is configured to couple the friction ring to at least one of a faucet assembly or a faucet valve assembly. The contact member is disposed on the body. The contact member is configured to slidably engage with a valve stem of the faucet valve assembly. The contact member is further configured to press against the valve stem to increase a frictional force between the contact member and the valve stem over a full range of movement of the valve stem.

Abstract: A faucet that includes a base; a riser having a first end, which couples to the base, and a distal second end; a first pivot member extending between first and second ends, wherein the first pivot member operatively couples to the second end of the riser at a first pivot axis located between the first and second ends of the first pivot member; a spout fluidly connected to the base through the riser and the first pivot member, the spout comprising an inlet end, which couples to the second end of the first pivot member such that the spout is rotatable relative to the riser through the first pivot member; and a biasing member operatively coupled to the first end of the first pivot member such that the biasing member creates a force, which biases and/or dampens relative rotation between the spout and the riser about the first pivot axis.

Abstract: A faucet includes a spout, a spray hose, a support arm, and a sprayer. The spray hose is partially contained within the spout and extends from the spout. The support arm is coupled to the spout and extends from the spout. The sprayer includes a docking assembly and a spray head. The docking assembly is removably coupled to the support arm. The spray head assembly is rotatably coupled to the spray hose and rotatably coupled to the docking assembly. The docking assembly is configured to facilitate rotation of the spray head assembly relative to the docking assembly.

Abstract: A motorcycle swing arm support assembly includes a bushing extending through a portion of the swing arm and the frame, a spacer, and a bolt extending through the frame, swing arm, bushing, spacer, and a portion of the motorcycle transmission case. The drive belt of the motorcycle defines a loop around the spacer. The drive belt may be removed without dropping or raising the transmission case by partially retracting the bolt so that the spacer may be removed and the belt replaced. The bushing has an elongated portion that may be extended through the swing arm and the frame to pivotally connect the frame and swing arm during the assembly process.
