Abstract: A faucet is provided. The faucet has a spout and a sprayhead releasably coupled to the spout. A hose having a magnetically responsive collar thereon provides fluid through the spout to the sprayhead. A magnet is located in the faucet such that when the sprayhead is coupled to the spout, the collar magnetically couples to the magnet, thereby applying sufficient magnetic force to the hose to retain the sprayhead against the spout.

Abstract: A joint for an articulating faucet includes a first housing, a second housing, and a clutch assembly. The first housing defines a first inner cavity and the second housing defines a second inner cavity. The second housing is coupled to the first housing such that fluid may flow from the first inner cavity to the second inner cavity. The clutch assembly is coupled to at least one of the first housing and the second housing and is configured to apply a resistive torque that inhibits movement of the first and second housings relative to each other. The clutch assembly includes a clutch pin, an interface member, and an end cap. The end cap is coupled to a first end of the clutch pin and the interface member. Movement of the end cap varies the magnitude of the resistive torque applied by the clutch assembly.
Abstract translation: 用于铰接式水龙头的接头包括第一壳体，第二壳体和离合器组件。 第一壳体限定第一内腔，并且第二壳体限定第二内腔。 第二壳体联接到第一壳体，使得流体可以从第一内腔流动到第二内腔。 离合器组件联接到第一壳体和第二壳体中的至少一个，并且构造成施加阻止第一和第二壳体相对于彼此运动的阻力转矩。 离合器组件包括离合器销，接口构件和端盖。 端盖联接到离合器销和接口构件的第一端。 端盖的移动会改变由离合器组件施加的阻力矩的大小。

Abstract: A faucet mounting assembly for a faucet includes a conical nut and a receiving clip. The conical nut is coupled to a nozzle. The receiving clip is coupled to an inner surface of the faucet and is configured to receive the conical nut within. The receiving clip includes a substantially annular base, one or more tabs and a slot. The one or more tabs including fixed ends fixed to the substantially annular base and free ends opposite the fixed ends and bounded by the slot. The one or more tabs are configured to flex radially between a non-flexed position and a flexed position. The one or more tabs flex into the flexed position when the conical nut is repositioned in and out of engagement with the receiving clip and return to the non-flexed position when the conical nut is seated within the receiving clip.

Abstract: Disclosed is a friction ring including a body and a contact member. The body is configured to couple the friction ring to at least one of a faucet assembly or a faucet valve assembly. The contact member is disposed on the body. The contact member is configured to slidably engage with a valve stem of the faucet valve assembly. The contact member is further configured to press against the valve stem to increase a frictional force between the contact member and the valve stem over a full range of movement of the valve stem.

Abstract: A sprayhead that includes a body and first and second diverters. The body has an inlet for receiving a fluid; first, second, and third chambers; and first, second, and third outlets for dispensing the fluid in first, second, and third modes, respectively. The first diverter moves between a first position wherein the second chamber fluidly connects to the inlet and the first chamber fluidly disconnects from the inlet and a second position wherein the first outlet fluidly connects to the inlet through the first chamber and the second chamber fluidly disconnects from the inlet. The second diverter moves between a first position wherein the second outlet fluidly connects to the second chamber and the third chamber fluidly disconnects from the second chamber and a second position wherein the third outlet fluidly connects to the second chamber through the third chamber and the second outlet fluidly disconnects from the second chamber.

Abstract: A sprayhead includes a body having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The body includes a fluid inlet proximate the first end and a fluid outlet proximate the second end. The sprayhead includes a first disc fixed to the body, a second disc moveably coupled to the body, and a pin which defines an axis of rotation for the second disc. The second disc is configured to rotate about the axis of rotation and to translate in a radial direction relative to the axis of rotation while the sprayhead is in use. Rotation of the second disc relative to the first disc causes a first response, whereas translation of the second disc relative to the first disc causes a second response.

Abstract: A faucet includes a spout; a sprayhead that is moveable relative to the spout between a docked position and an undocked position; a magnet associated with the spout and having a bore; and a magnetically responsive collar associated with the sprayhead and moveable relative to the magnet in an axial direction as the sprayhead moves between the docked and undocked positions. In the docked position, magnetic forces between the magnet and the collar attract a center of the collar to align with a center of the magnet in the axial direction with the collar in the bore of the magnet.
