摘要:
A system encouraging users to cleanse their hands after use of a tankless toilet having a flush valve controlling the flow of water into a toilet bowl through a conduit, in which an abrupt temperature change in the conduit is used to trigger a recorded message urging the user to wash his or her hands.

A manual pressing device for a flusher includes a stop ring, a pressing rod unit, a spring, and a nut. The manual-pressing device is located in a lateral hole of the body of a flusher, normally stopping water in the flusher or pressed to connect a lengthwise hole in the body with a water-exhausting passageway for flushing water. The nut screws with the body to keep the stop ring, the pressing rod unit and the spring stably combined in the lateral hole. When the pressing member of the pressing rod unit fitted with an outer end of the pressing rod is pressed inward, the annular leak recess of the pressing rod unit may communicate with the water exhausting passageway to let water flow therethrough so as to flush water, and releasing the pressing member pressed makes the pressing rod return to its original position to block the water exhausting passageway.

A valve includes a housing having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and defining a fluid flow path between the inlet and the outlet. A check valve positioned in the housing has a valve seat in the flow path from the inlet, a valve member movable between a seated position against the valve seat blocking fluid flow from the inlet past the valve seat and an unseated position spaced away from the valve seat, and a spring for biasing the valve member toward the seated position. A main valve assembly is removably positioned at a home position in the housing in the flow path to control the fluid flow from the check valve to the outlet. The valve assembly has a portion which engages the valve member and maintains the valve member in it's unseated position so long as the main valve assembly is at the home position, the valve member being moved to the unseated position by the spring upon removal of the main valve assembly from the housing.

A bathroom flusher (10) includes a body having an inlet (12) in communication with a supply line and an outlet (16) in communication with a flush conduit, a valve assembly in the body positioned to close water flow between the inlet and the outlet upon sealing action of a moving member (60, 60A, 60B, 60C, 130, 210, 215, 526, or 628) at a valve seat (70, 70A, 140, 209, 251A, 526 or 625) thereby controlling flow from the inlet to the outlet, and an actuator (62) for actuating operation of the moving member. The bathroom flusher includes one of several novel sensors and is controlled by one of several novel controllers, as described. The controllers may execute a novel control algorithm.

A cap assembly for closing an access opening in a plumbing fitting includes a cap for rotatable attachment to the plumbing fitting, with the cap having an interior surface which faces the plumbing fitting. There is an elastomeric friction ring positioned between the cap interior surface and the plumbing fitting, which friction ring has a plurality of circumferentially spaced projections facing and in contact with the plumbing fitting. The projections are formed and adapted to require less torque when the cap is rotatably attached to the plumbing fitting than when said cap is rotatably removed from the plumbing fitting.

An automatic flusher includes an object sensor. When the object sensor detects a target meeting certain criteria, battery-powered control circuitry causes the flusher's valve to open. By pressing a push button, a user can make the circuit open the flusher's valve. If the circuit has been pressed continually for an extended period, the control circuit assumes a sleep mode, in which its power consumption is negligible. A button actuator in the flusher's container keeps the button pressed while the container is closed. As a consequence, the flusher can be packed with the control circuit's batteries installed without draining those batteries significantly during shipping and storage.

A housing of a self-closing valve has a passage lined with a noise-absorbing synthetic-resin body and is formed with a valve seat against which a valve body is engageable. A compartment above the valve body is connected to the pressurized inlet side of the passage through a small orifice and can be depressurized by a pilot valve so as to allow fluid pressure below the valve body to lift it from the valve seat and thereby allow flow through the passage. The compartment repressurizes through the orifice once the pilot valve is closed to lower the valve body again. The valve body is provided with a throttle element having substantially the same shape as the valve. The lining is bonded inside the housing or formed with longitudinal ribs which space it from the interior of the housing so as to form an air-filled insulating space and to form a drain passage for the pilot valve. A guide is formed unitarily with the valve seat and extends up around the valve body for its entire travel distance. This guide is formed with a plurality of slits extending right down to the valve seat, and spaced more closely together on the side of the guide toward the inlet.
摘要:
A flush valve assembly for plumbing systems, and particularly for conventional toilet bowls, comprises a valve housing or case providing two parallel paths for water flow and having an automatic flush valve in each path. The valve in one path provides full volume and that in the other path a restricted or low-volume flow. A single three-position operating handle is provided and is connected to actuate the low-volume valve on movement to a first position and the full-volume valve on movement to a second position. The third position is a central off or neutral position.
