Abstract:
An accordion pleated filter element is disposed in a cup-shaped housing and sealed to the adjacent walls of the housing dividing the interior thereof into an inlet and outlet. A cover plate, having ports communicating with the inlet and outlet, is bonded to the open end of the housing and the exposed side of the pleated element with a plastisol which covers the entire plate and extends through the ports.
Abstract:
A single handle mixing faucet having a body member with inlet passages terminating at the exterior of the body member. A handle is reciprocal and rotatable on the body member and includes a confined circumferentially extending mixing chamber arranged to be placed into selective communication with the hot and cold water inlet passages terminating on the exterior of the body member. The body member is secured to an underlying support by a fastener which extends completely through the body member and has a tool-receiving opening at its upper end. In one form there are two discharge passages in the body member and cooperative means on the body member and handle to select one or the other of the discharge passages. In another form, the discharge passage extends away from the inlet passages and into a spout support which is mounted on top of the body member. The handle means which is reciprocal and rotatable on the body member includes a plurality of inlet ports arranged in two sets, one for hot water and one for cold water. The ports are generally uniformly arranged with there being more cold water ports than hot water ports so as to provide a greater degree of handle rotation within the comfort zone.
