Abstract: A tub spout assembly is configured to be supported within the overflow opening in the sidewall of a bathtub. The tub spout assembly illustratively includes an overflow body defining an overflow passageway, and an inlet tube supported by the overflow body and defining an inlet passageway. A spout is fluidly coupled to the inlet tube and defines a spout outlet to dispense water from the inlet tube into the bathtub. A spout cover illustratively receives the spout and includes an inner wall defining at least one opening. The at least one opening is illustratively in fluid communication with the overflow passageway and the inlet passageway. Illustratively, a diverter assembly is supported by the spout and is configured to selectively open and close fluid communication between the inlet passageway to the spout outlet.

Abstract: A fluid control valve includes a body, a first diverter, a second diverter, and a first actuator. The body includes an inlet configured to receive a supply of fluid. The first diverter is movable in a radial direction within the body between a first radial position and a second radial position. The second diverter is movable in a longitudinal direction within the body between a first longitudinal position and a second longitudinal position. The first actuator is operatively coupled to the first diverter and to the second diverter. The first actuator is configured to simultaneously move the first diverter between the first and second radial positions and the second diverter between the first and second longitudinal positions.

Abstract: A plumbing fixture fluid diversion assembly minimizes dripping from an outlet conduit of a spout body by restricting passage of accumulated fluid through the outlet conduit. The assembly comprises a hollow spout body having an inlet conduit that carries fluid to a diversion chamber. The diversion chamber is in communication with the inlet conduit and the outlet conduit. A routing notch helps control the flow of the fluid towards a chamber opening that is disposed between the diversion chamber and the outlet conduit. The chamber opening enables passage of fluid to the outlet conduit. A flap selectively covers and uncovers the chamber opening to control dripping from the outlet conduit. The assembly generates an initial force to at least partially urge the flap towards the chamber opening for covering by pulling a cable, displacing magnet proximal to the flap, or creating a vacuum to displace the flap.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method for diverting a flow of a fluid is provided. The fluid is introduced into a conduit that has a central portion, an elbow spout, and a diverter. The spout is coupled to the conduit and the diverter is coupled to the spout. The inverter can be configured in a first position or a second position. In the first position, the diverter enables the fluid to flow through the spout and in the second position, the diverter inhibits fluid from flowing through the spout.

Abstract: A mini vertical-and-horizontal engine structure, comprising: a rear water channel, connected to an outside pipeline; a first engine, disposed vertically in the rear water channel to switch between water routes; a second engine, disposed horizontally in the rear water channel; a front water channel, connected fixedly to one end of the rear water channel; a push button, disposed on the front water channel, to control the first engine and the second engine; and a connection rod, with its one end connected fixedly to the push button, and with its other end connected fixedly to the first engine and the second engine. The engine structure is novel in design, compact in structure, a plurality of engines are arranged to dispose vertically or horizontally to reduce space it occupies. A push button is used to control the engines to switch between a plurality of water channels.

Abstract: A tub spout assembly includes a tub spout. The tub spout includes a spout inlet and a spout outlet. A diverter assembly is carried by the tub spout. The diverter assembly includes a diverter inlet and a diverter outlet. A handle is rotatable from a first position to a second position and vice versa relative to the tub spout. A sealing element is coupled to the handle so as to rotate with the handle. In the first position the sealing element is disposed apart from the diverter outlet to permit water to flow through the tub spout assembly and exit the tub spout assembly via the spout outlet. In the second position the sealing element obscures the diverter outlet to inhibit water from flowing through the spout outlet of the tub spout assembly. A torsion spring biases the handle and the sealing element toward the first position.

Abstract: Disclosed is a dual-purpose faucet comprising a faucet pipe, a ball valve for gradually blocking and unblocking the faucet pipe at the free end thereof, and a fountain check valve extending through the upper surface of the faucet pipe from within the faucet pipe. When a fluid is being discharged from the faucet pipe, and, at which point, as the control means is operated so as to block the faucet pipe, the backpressure created as a result thereof, upon reaching a threshold pressure, causes the fountain check valve to open allowing the fluid to pass therethrough resulting in the discharge of a fluid jet therefrom; the trajectory of the fluid jet adjustable by adjusting the control means as adjusting the control means regulates the backpressure.
