Patent number: 8376248Abstract: The disclosure provides faucets, faucet assemblies and methods for delivering liquid through a faucet. The faucet includes a faucet body having a first open end configured for connection with a faucet base, a second open end for receiving a faucet handle, and a faucet body portion having an opening therein. The faucet body has an inner wall defining a passage extending therethrough. The faucet also includes a faucet handle and a spray handle having a first end section and a sprayer end section. The first end section is configured to be detachably connected to the faucet body portion, and the spray handle has an inner wall and a passage extending therethrough which is in open communication with the passage through the faucet body. The faucet also has a hose connection that can receive a hose for delivering liquid to the spray handle. The hose connection may be in the sprayer end section of the spray handle.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2008Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: AS IP Holdco, L.L.C.Inventors: David J.

Patent number: 7464418Abstract: A proximity faucet is provided that includes a housing, faucet and lever support portions and a peripheral housing wall with a spout portion having a neck extending outward from the housing wall and a fluid outlet at a free extent thereof. The faucet support portion accommodates an elongate shank extending downwardly therefrom and having at least one fluid supply conduit therein. The lever support portion receives a mixing cartridge therein that mixes cold and hot water delivered by the fluid supply conduit. The lever support portion supports a freely rotatable lever thereon. The lever is coupled to the mixing cartridge such that rotation of the lever adjusts the water temperature and flow rate. A sensor cover ring that is rotatably disposed adjacent the housing wall includes a reflective surface along an inner surface thereof that lies adjacent the housing wall.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2005Date of Patent: December 16, 2008Assignee: Ideal Standard International BVBAInventors: Frank A. Seggio, David J. Meisner, Robert C. Kass

Patent number: 4819909Abstract: A self-closing valve, having means to discharge a predetermined volume of water for each cycle of operation, is disclosed. The valve includes the arrangement of timing means which determines the elapsed time for its operational cycle, a one-way valve means to expel air from the metering chamber during the actuating cycle of the valve, and air metering means which replaces air entering the mixing chamber at a constant uniform rate, all of which cooperate with the valving means to discharge a predetermined volume of water.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 1988Date of Patent: April 11, 1989Assignee: American Standard Inc.Inventors: Thomas G. Hart, Karl G. Ohaus, Earl W. Nickerson, David J. Meisner

Patent number: 4664982Abstract: A composite structure, e.g., a plastic-backed enamel steel product having high impact and thermal shock resistance is disclosed. The composite structure is formed having bonded thereto, a finished layer on one side thereof, and on the other side a layer of reinforced plastic to form a laminated structure. The plastic layer has a thickness of at least 1/8 in., and a density of between about 20 lbs. per cu.ft. and about 125 lbs per cu.ft. The finished layer is resistant to delamination when subjected to relatively high impact applied directly to the finished and/or plastic layer surface and to delamination when the composite structure is subjected to a sudden temperature change of about 180.degree. F.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 1985Date of Patent: May 12, 1987Assignee: American Standard Inc.Inventors: John S. Genovese, Edwin C. Grazul, David J. Meisner, Francis M. Wright
