  • Patent number: 9228331
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes an adjustable plumbing shield system comprising an adjustable shield component including a flexible sheet terminating at opposing ends with first connection parts. The system also includes two second connection parts configured to mate in a readily removable manner with the first connection components of the shielding. In various embodiments, the system is adjustable in one or more ways. The system can be configured, for instance, so that a vertical positioning of the shield component can be adjusted easily, without adjusting connections between a wall and the second connection parts. In another aspect, the shield component can be bowed, and the second connection parts arranged on the wall, to accommodate any of a variety of desired spacing and covering of under-sink fittings.

  • Publication number: 20100237756
    Abstract: A pedestal vanity includes a cabinet including a base member, an upwardly projecting left side wall, an upwardly projecting right side wall and a front opening. The upwardly projecting left side wall and upwardly projecting right side wall extend upwardly from the base member and are connected to an upper surface of the cabinet. An aperture is formed in the upper surface for accommodating a pedestal of an existing sink. A storage space is formed below the upper surface by the base member, the upwardly projecting left side wall and the upwardly projecting right side wall with an open rear surface for mounting adjacent to a wall surface.

  • Publication number: 20080110512
    Abstract: A faucet assembly is provided having a cylindrical body with a base, a rotatable top, a housing and hot and cold tubes entering the housing. Two plates are positioned in the housing, a stationary plate and a top rotatable plates, the stationary plate having one aperture for cold water, a second aperture for hot water and a third aperture for flow of the water mixture from the housing through a discharge tube connected to the housing. A plastic figurine mounted on top of the cylindrical housing is operatively associated with the rotatable plate to partially or completely open the apertures and control the amounts, and hence, the temperature of the water. Functional parts of the assembly are uniquely formed by integrally molding a plastic onto the metal parts thus also enhancing the appearance of the assembly.

  • Publication number: 20070251590
    Abstract: A dual articulated faucet for minimizing or eliminating water outsplash from lavatory bowls. The faucet includes a tubular body, a pivotable spout arm, and a swivel spout. The pivotable spout arm is adapted to rotate around a first articulated point in a first plane that is parallel to the axis of the tubular body. The swivel spout is positioned at the end of the pivotable spout arm, and is in turn pivotable at a second articulated point in a second plane that is parallel to or overlapping with the first plane. By adjusting the angular position of the pivotable spout arm, and the angular position of the swivel spout, the water throw into the lavatory bowl can be adjusted to minimize or eliminate outsplash.

  • Patent number: 7225828
    Abstract: A decorative faucet assembly comprising a cold water handle and a hot water handle, each handle having a valve body; a longitudinal bore through said body, a first open end for flow of water therein and a second open end longitudinally opposite said first end. A plastic escutcheon is adapted to be secured onto said opposite end of said valve body and a plastic figurine in the form of a recognizable toy is operatively associated with said escutcheon for rotatably manipulating said valve into open and closed position.
