Abstract: Faucet assemblies and associated methods are disclosed. A disclosed faucet assembly comprises a faucet having at least two different water outlets, at least one sensor, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a signal from the at least one sensor, determine a faucet configuration for the faucet based on the signal, and allow water to flow from a water source to one of the at least two different water outlets based on the faucet configuration.

Abstract: A faucet includes a faucet pipe, a branch pipe, a fountain valve, and a fountain nozzle with a pressure compensating flow regulator, the faucet pipe having a proximal end to release a water stream in a downward direction through a lower channel and a branch pipe disposed within the faucet pipe to release the water stream in an upward direction through the fountain nozzle, with the fountain valve configured within the proximal end of the faucet pipe to redirect the water stream to the branch pipe by gradually blocking and unblocking the upper channel of the branch pipe, and wherein the pressure compensating flow regulator is disposed with the fountain opening to compensate the pressure of the water stream released from the fountain opening and control the trajectory of the water stream discharged from the fountain opening.

Abstract: Disclosed is a dual-purpose faucet comprising a faucet pipe, a ball valve for gradually blocking and unblocking the faucet pipe at the free end thereof, and a fountain check valve extending through the upper surface of the faucet pipe from within the faucet pipe. When a fluid is being discharged from the faucet pipe, and, at which point, as the control means is operated so as to block the faucet pipe, the backpressure created as a result thereof, upon reaching a threshold pressure, causes the fountain check valve to open allowing the fluid to pass therethrough resulting in the discharge of a fluid jet therefrom; the trajectory of the fluid jet adjustable by adjusting the control means as adjusting the control means regulates the backpressure.
