  • Patent number: 6290147
    Abstract: A multiple discharge faucet spout includes a shell with a waterway and a valve body positioned within the shell. The valve body has a water passage which communicates with the waterway and there is a stream discharge and a spray discharge functionally communicating with the valve body water passage. A valve member is movable within the valve body to control water flow from the waterway to either the spray discharge or the stream discharge. A movable control member is attached to the valve member and effective upon inward movement thereof to cause the valve member to close communication between the waterway and the stream discharge and open communication between the waterway and the spray discharge. A spring normally urges the valve member to a position in which the faucet has a stream discharge.
