Abstract: A faucet including a spout body formed of metal and having an inlet end, an outlet end and a chamber extending between inlet and outlet ends. A tube formed of a non-metallic material is enclosed within the chamber and has receiving and dispensing ends. Tube defines a passage extending between receiving and dispensing ends. Receiving end is in fluid communication with water source to communicate water through passage. An inlet coupling formed of a non-metallic material and having an inlet opening extending therethrough is molded about receiving end such that receiving end is sealingly received within inlet opening. An outlet coupling formed of a non-metallic material and having an outlet opening extending therethrough is molded about dispensing end such that dispensing end is sealingly received within outlet opening. Inlet and outlet couplings are sealingly coupled to inlet and outlet ends of spout body, respectively.

Abstract: A faucet including a molded waterway assembly having a plurality of tubes overmolded within a base.

Abstract: A faucet spray head having a volume control mechanism allowing the user to adjust the flow of water through the spray head from a full-spray to full-stream and to a paused flow and flow levels therebetween.

Abstract: A method for temporarily adhering an image to a surface is shown utilizing liquid soluble substrates that have printed images of liquid insoluble ink. The liquid soluble substrate is positioned on a surface, such as a billboard, sidewalk, parking lot, telephone pole, skin, clothing, etc., and a liquid, typically water, is applied to the liquid soluble substrate and/or to the surface in such a quantity, and at such a temperature, and at such a pressure and velocity so as to be absorbed by the liquid soluble substrate in a sponge-like fashion. As the substrate dries, it takes on the shape of the surface, conforming and adhering to the surface through a mechanical interlock therewith. Various coatings may be applied to extend the longevity of the substrate. The liquid soluble substrate may be removed from the surface by applying a sufficient quantity of liquid at a sufficient temperature, pressure and velocity.
