Abstract:
A fluid transfer system includes a fluid regulator having a valve and a tube in fluid communication with the valve. A housing supports the fluid regulator and includes at least a partial enclosure. At least a portion of the fluid regulator is in the enclosure. The tube extends through a first surface of the housing. A flexible conduit is in fluid communication with the fluid regulator. The flexible conduit is compatible for connection with a fluid source.
Abstract:
An assembly is disclosed for mounting a bathroom accessory support post to a wall. A bracket with a mounting hole in the form of a keyhole slot is attached to the wall. A support post for the accessory has a neck and an enlarged head at the end of the neck. Adjacent the neck, the support post is threaded to receive a jamb nut. The enlarged head of the support post is positionable within the keyhole slot. The jamb nut is rotatable to clamp the bracket between the enlarged head and the jamb nut to retain the head within the keyhole slot. A cover is friction fit with the aid of an O-ring against the bracket to conceal the mounting hardware from view during use.
Abstract:
A spout fixture for bathtubs, wash basins or the like has a body with a thin horizontal water emission zone from which a sheet-like flow of water is directed along the underside of a flow guide to a discharge zone at the end of the flow guide. The flow guide undersurface curves downwardly as the discharge zone is approached enabling momentum and adhesion to hold the flow on the downwardly facing surface against the pull of gravity. Water released from the end of the flow guide travels downwardly into the receptacle in the form of a free falling, thin, smooth curtain of water that minimizes noise and splashing and is attractive in appearance.
