Patent number: 7278178Abstract: A tub filler and overflow combination device is supported within a common opening formed in a tub wall. Both a flow passage and a drain passage extend through the body of the device to communicate through the common opening in the tub wall. A backflow preventer of the flow passage is slidably removable through the flow outlet for readily servicing the components of the backflow preventer as desired. The flow inlet is parallel and opposite to the flow outlet for ease of manufacturing and for ease of installation into a bathtub.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2004Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Inventor: Todd Witzleben

Patent number: 7059342Abstract: An automatic liquid shut-off system for a vessel and having a valve in a liquid passageway to control the level of liquid in the vessel so as to prevent an overflow of the liquid. The shut-off system comprises a conduit extending exterior from one wall of the vessel and in liquid communication therewith. A float is disposed in the conduit, and a stem extends from the float co-axially with the conduit, and is affixed to the valve to actuate the valve to a closed position. When the liquid level in the vessel rises to an undesired level, and the liquid in the vessel therefore reaches a level approximately the level of the float, the liquid acting upon the float will actuate the valve to a closed position, thereby shutting off the liquid.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2003Date of Patent: June 13, 2006Inventors: James Jerome Crimmins, Robert Alan Vlies

Patent number: 6421848Abstract: There is provided a new and useful bath spout apparatus for a bath having a water inlet supply pipe and a water outlet overflow opening. The apparatus comprises a body, a water inlet to be connected to the water inlet supply pipe and a spout in fluid connection with the water inlet to allow water to pass from the water inlet supply pipe through the water inlet into the body and out of the spout into the bath. There is further provided a water outlet to allow overflow water to flow from the bath. The apparatus is constructed so as to be mounted in the bath contiguous with the overflow opening.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2000Date of Patent: July 23, 2002Assignee: 3502767 Canada Inc.Inventor: Jacques Farmer

Patent number: 6292958Abstract: The inflow and drain fixture has a first housing section (7), which can be fixed to the back of a sidewall (2) of the tub (1) by means of a fastening ring (12) to be arranged on the tub side of the sidewall (2). An inflow fixture is furthermore provided, which is to be arranged on the tub side and connected to the above first housing section (7), said inflow fixture encompassing a second housing section (15) with a drain channel (15c), a drain opening (15d) and a turning handle (18) for operating the drain valve (9). The first housing section (7) is clamp-mountable with the fastening ring (12) independently from the second housing section (15) to the sidewall (2) in such a manner that the second housing section (15) can be taken off for cleaning purposes without detaching the fastening ring (12). The parts on the tub side can be very easily removed for cleaning purposes and the passages are then easily accessible for cleaning.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2000Date of Patent: September 25, 2001Assignee: Gerberit Technik AGInventors: David Benne, Maarten Röst
