  • Publication number: 20200040557
    Abstract: A shower valve assembly configured to divert water between a tub port and a shower port. The diverter valve assembly position or state is changed by pushing a button connected to a stem and a poppet valve. When the water supply is turned off, a poppet spring shifts the poppet valve to a tub open position, and a check valve spring opens a check valve, allowing water from the shower port to flow out of the tub port.

  • Patent number: 10309084
    Abstract: A tub spout assembly is configured to be supported within the overflow opening in the sidewall of a bathtub. The tub spout assembly illustratively includes an overflow body defining an overflow passageway, and an inlet tube supported by the overflow body and defining an inlet passageway. A spout is fluidly coupled to the inlet tube and defines a spout outlet to dispense water from the inlet tube into the bathtub. A spout cover illustratively receives the spout and includes an inner wall defining at least one opening. The at least one opening is illustratively in fluid communication with the overflow passageway and the inlet passageway. Illustratively, a diverter assembly is supported by the spout and is configured to selectively open and close fluid communication between the inlet passageway to the spout outlet.

  • Publication number: 20180313069
    Abstract: A faucet user interface illustratively includes a support extending along a longitudinal axis, and a handle operably coupled to the support. In an illustrative embodiment, the handle is rotatable about the longitudinal axis for controlling a first water parameter (e.g., water temperature), and the handle is axially movable along the longitudinal axis for controlling a second water parameter (e.g., water flow rate). In another illustrative embodiment, a first handle is rotatable about a longitudinal axis of a delivery spout for controlling a first water parameter, and a second handle is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the delivery spout for controlling a second water parameter.
