  • Patent number: 11377829
    Abstract: A rough-in assembly for free-standing faucets is revealed. The rough-in assembly having at least a part thereof fixed under a floor includes a base, a first water-contact member and a second water-contact member separated from each other and disposed on the base, and a sleeve mounting seat connected to the base and provided with a top plate portion extending across the first and second water-contact members. Two first hollow-out holes are arranged at the top plate portion and corresponding to control valve sets of the water-contact members respectively. The top plate portion is also for installation and positioning of the free-standing faucet. The position and the direction of least one of the water-contact members can be adjusted so that the rough-in assembly is adapted to use in different water supply pipe arrangements. The disposition of the sleeve mounting seat ensures stability and aesthetics of the free-standing faucet.

  • Patent number: 10738899
    Abstract: A faucet contains: a hollow body, a control assembly, an inlet pipe set, a mixing-water outlet pipe, a pull hose, a spray head, and an isolation pipe. The hollow body includes an inflow portion and an outflow portion. The control assembly includes a mixing valve and an operation element. The inlet pipe set includes a cold-water inlet pipe and a hot-water inlet pipe. The mixing-water outlet pipe includes a first connector and a second connector. The pull hose includes an inlet segment and an outlet segment. The spray head is connected with the outlet segment of the pull hose, and the spray head is removed from and fixed on the outflow portion of the hollow body. The isolation pipe includes a channel defined therein so that the pull hose slidably moves in the isolation pipe and avoids contacting with the inlet pipe set and the mixing-water outlet pipe.

  • Patent number: 10711936
    Abstract: A weight assembly is fixed on a hose of a faucet and contains: a tubular retainer and a counterweight. The tubular retainer includes a first segment, a second segment, a fitting orifice, an opening, an engagement portion, and a forced portion. The counterweight includes a third segment, a fourth segment, a through orifice, and a press portion. After the tubular retainer is fitted on the hose, the fourth segment of the counterweight moves toward the first segment of the tubular retainer so that the press portion presses the forced portion of the tubular retainer after the tubular retainer is accommodated into the through orifice, and the forced portion retracts inward to actuate the engagement portion to engage with the hose.
