Abstract: A faucet spray head for attachment to a faucet spout includes a spout adapter configured for attachment to the faucet spout. The spout adaptor has a body defining an interior chamber. The interior chamber has at least one exit passage. A spray head mechanism is rotatably coupled to the body. The spray head mechanism includes an aeration unit and a spray unit that are individually selected based on a rotational position of the spray head mechanism in relation to the spout adaptor.

Abstract: A faucet includes a spout defining a primary water path. A water path is coupled to the primary water path of the spout. An electrically-operated valve is coupled in the water path to control a water flow through the water path. A control device is communicatively coupled to the electrically-operated valve. The control circuit includes a sensor that sends a signal to the electrically-operated valve to place the electrically-operated valve in an ON state when the sensor detects the presence of an object.

Abstract: A fluid supply valve includes a valve plate having cold and hot apertures respectively aligned with the cold and hot inlets. A pressure balancer is rotatably supported adjacent to the mixing valve plate. The pressure balancer is rotatable between a closed position to prohibit fluid flow through the mixing valve plate and a range of positions to enable fluid flow through the pressure balancer and through the mixing valve plate to supply fluid from the outlet port.

Abstract: A re-keyable lock and method. The lock has locked and unlocked positions and includes a housing and a cylinder rotatably supported in the housing. The lock includes a plurality of wafer tumblers resiliently supported in corresponding channels formed in the cylinder. Each wafer tumbler includes a rider element selectively engaged with a base element in first and second engagement positions, wherein the first engagement position corresponds to a first key and the second engagement position corresponds to a second key. The lock also includes a re-keying mechanism such as a re-keying tool which is inserted in a re-keying slot when the lock is in the unlocked position to disengage the rider element from the corresponding base element in the first engagement position and to re-engage the rider element to the base element in the second engagement position.
