  • Publication number: 20060207664
    Abstract: A water valve assembly for bathroom faucets, comprising a water passage, an accommodating cavity and a flow diverting unit, whereby the flow pathway within a faucet can be adjusted. The accommodating cavity has a first cavity portion and a second cavity portion, the second cavity portion being connected to the water passage and provided with two water holes respectively connected to two water outlets. The flow diverting unit, being capable of rotating within the accommodating cavity, has a first end rotatably sealing the first cavity portion and a second end coupled to the outer body of the faucet by a limiting member, whereby the rotation of the flow diverting unit with respect to the accommodating cavity will be limited, and whereby a blocking member of the second end of the flow diverting unit can seal either of the water holes.

  • Publication number: 20060037651
    Abstract: A valve includes a housing having two opposite juts and a bore and a projection, a plate having two curved oblong holes and a stem rotatably received in the bore of the housing, and a follower secured to the stem and having an extension for engaging with the projection of the housing. A base includes two inlets and two hubs aligned with the inlets, and an outlet, and an upper peripheral wall having two notches oppositely formed in an inner peripheral portion and each formed by an outer fence member. The juts of the housing are engageable into the notches of the base, and engageable into different notches of the base when the housing is rotated for 180 degrees relative to the base.

  • Publication number: 20060032540
    Abstract: A valve includes a housing having a projection, a plate having a stem rotatably received in the housing, a follower having an oblong orifice for receiving the stem, and defined by two parallel and symmetric engaging flat surfaces for engaging with the engaging flat surfaces of the stem and for allowing the follower to be anchored to and rotated in concert with the stem. The follower includes an extension for engaging with the projection. An engagement of the parallel and symmetric engaging flat surfaces of the stem and of the follower allows the follower to be engaged onto the stem after the stem has been rotated relative to the base, without rotating the follower relative to the base.

  • Publication number: 20050139688
    Abstract: A valve includes a housing having an inlet opening and an inlet orifice for receiving cold and hot water, a barrel slidably received in the housing and movable to control the cold and the hot water to flow into the housing. A stem is secured to the barrel and shortenable and lengthenable by different water temperature, to control the flowing of the cold and the hot water into the housing. A conduit is secured to the housing and a spring is received in the conduit, to bias against the stem. The conduit includes a passage to allow the water to flow in and out of the conduit, and to allow the spring to be quickly shortened and lengthened by different water temperature.

  • Publication number: 20050116062
    Abstract: A shower device includes a conduit having a bore to slidably receive a lower portion of a tube, and to allow the tube to be adjusted up and down relative to the conduit. A shower head is attached to the tube and moved up and down together with the tube, and a control ferrule is attached to the conduit and the tube, and includes two or more sealing rings to make water tight seals between the conduit and the control ferrule, and between the tube and the control ferrule. The tube may be secured to a supporting surface with a bracket.

  • Publication number: 20050116065
    Abstract: A water distributor includes a housing having an inlet for receiving water, and having two or more openings formed in a peripheral wall, for coupling to two or more water outlet members. A valve member is rotatably received in the housing, and includes an orifice to receive the water, and a side aperture for selectively aligning with either of the openings of the housing, and to allow the water to flow out through either of the water outlet members. The valve member includes a spring-biased plug to engage with the housing. An anchor member may be attached to the housing, to rotatably retain the valve member in the housing.
