摘要: A cabinet apparatus having a housing and a door. The housing defines a storage space having a front access opening. The door includes a first panel structure having a first sidewall panel having a first interior surface that partially defines the storage space and a first exterior surface and a tubular flange extending lengthwise along the first sidewall panel and protruding from the first exterior surface. A first hinge component is located on the tubular flange. The door includes a door body and a second hinge component thereon. The first and second hinge components are operably coupled to one another so that the door is pivotably mounted to the housing to be rotatable about a rotational axis between: (1) a closed position in which the door body encloses the front access opening; and (2) an open position in which the storage space is accessible via the front access opening.

摘要: At least one embodiment relates to a quick-coupling mechanism including a clamp spring configured to receive a valve body. The clamp spring is coupled to a release button configured to manipulate one or more arms of the clamp spring. The quick-coupling mechanism includes a base structure coupled to the toilet pedestal/bowl. The base structure is configured to hold the clamp spring in place. In a locking-state, the clamp spring seats in a groove in the valve body thus securing the valve body in place and preventing an axial movement of the valve body relative to the clamp spring. In a non-locking state, the release button bends the arms of the clamp spring outwardly to increase the diameter of the clamping portion, thus releasing valve body such that the valve body can move axially relative to the clamp spring.

摘要: A water delivery device includes an inlet connector, a sprayface assembly, and a selection engine. The inlet connector is configured to couple the water delivery device to a water supply. The sprayface assembly includes a plurality of nozzles that are configured to produce a plurality of spray patterns. The selection engine fluidly couples the inlet connector to the sprayface assembly and controls flow to each one of the plurality of nozzles to determine the spray pattern produced at the sprayface assembly. The selection engine is configured to switch directly from any one of the plurality of spray patterns to any other one of the plurality of spray patterns in response to a single actuation of the selection engine.
