Abstract: Faucets are provided with joystick type control handles. The joysticks are provided with springs outside the main valve housing either between the joystick handle and lever stick, or between the joystick handle and an associated ball. In the latter case the ball retains a sliding disk.

Abstract: A transmission shift system includes a first control path having a first electrically actuated valve system, and is configured to selectively direct hydraulic pressure to a first plurality of clutches for selecting only an output speed. A second control path independent of the first control path includes a second electrically actuated valve system, and is configured to selectively direct hydraulic pressure to a second plurality of clutches for selecting only an output direction. A shifter has a plurality of switches, each switch being in direct electrical connection with a corresponding of the first electrically actuated valve system and the second electrically actuated valve system for operating the first control path and the second control path controllerlessly, wherein the plurality of switches are operated manually using the shifter.

Abstract: A hydraulic system for a work machine is operative to condition hydraulic fluid supplied by a pressure source when there is no demand on the pressure source for the hydraulic fluid by a hydraulic function of the work machine.

Abstract: A tamper resistant aerating/laminarizing assembly includes a slotted, annular retainer piece that threads into the faucet spout or a separate spout extension so that it is recessed back from the opening and thereby hidden and difficult to operate without a special key that fits through the opening to engage the slots. The retainer supports a cartridge, containing flow modifying elements, from its downstream side, rather than from above, so that it is located almost entirely to one side of the cartridge and does not add to the overall diameter of the cartridge.

Abstract: Disclosed are wall mountable accessories which have a bracket with an axial extension and a plate adjacent an inward end of the extension. An escutcheon shrouds the bracket. A recess and projection connection is provided between the plate and escutcheon that restrict relative rotation there between so that the escutcheon can be properly positioned. An accessory, such as a bathroom accessory, is removably linked to the escutcheon adjacent its outer end.

Abstract: A faucet with a vacuum breaker for a pull-out spray head plumbing fixture is provided. The vacuum breaker is placed in the faucet housing immediately under a valve unit and has fluid inlets and an outlet all passing therethrough. The vacuum breaker also has a multiplicity of openings extending through a base portion. A flapper gasket is stretch fitted over the base portion. The vacuum breaker affords ease of installation and removal. A check valve is placed immediately adjacent to the vacuum breaker.

Abstract: A faucet with a pull-out spray head includes a mixing valve for combining water from hot and cold supply lines. Water from the mixing valve flows through a check valve assembly having a chamber with an inlet, connected to the mixing valve, and an outlet, that is connected to the spray head. Separate check valves are located in the inlet and the outlet to restrict water flow through the check valve assembly to only the direction from the inlet to the outlet. A hose connects the intermediate chamber of the check valve mechanism to a vacuum breaker adapted to mount next to the faucet. The vacuum breaker includes a housing with an internal cavity into which the conduit communicates. An aperture in the vacuum breaker housing provides a passage between the cavity and the ambient environment of the faucet.

Abstract: A valve for controlling fluid flow is disclosed. In one embodiment, there is a valve housing which has a mixing chamber therein, first and second valve seats in the bottom of the chamber that are laterally spaced from one another to provide inlet openings connected to the chamber, and an outlet opening exiting from the chamber. A valve member is positioned in the chamber, the valve member having a lower sealing surface in slideable contact with the valve seats, porting means controlling the flow of water from the inlet openings to the outlet, and an aperture which is open at the upper surface of the valve member. A bearing member is mounted over the valve member, the bearing member having an axial bore. The upper stem section of an actuator is rotatably and axially movably mounted in the bore, and a lower cam section of the actuator is slideably extended into the valve member aperture.
