Assignee:

Newfrey LLP - Newark DE

International Classification:

F16K031/60

US Classification:

251291, 137359

Abstract:

A Roman tub installation includes a hub and handle assembly, a valve, a sleeve coupled to the valve's body, a stem adapter coupled to the valve's stem and to the hub and handle assembly, and a threaded collar coupled to the sleeve. The hub and handle assembly includes a hub having a threaded portion for engaging the threaded collar, thereby coupling the hub and handle assembly to the sleeve and valve body, and a handle disposed adjacent the hub. A handle stem extends from the handle and couples the handle to the stem adapter. The stem adapter couples the handle's stem to the valve's stem, thereby coupling the handle to the valve stem.

US Classification:

239443, 239444, 239445, 239574

Abstract:

A faucet head having a multi-pattern head and a fluid diversion system. The multi-pattern head has a stream outlet, a first spray outlet, and a second spray outlet. The fluid diversion system comprises a first valve, a second valve, and a water supply input. A first discharge pattern is characterized by the fluid diversion system connecting the stream outlet to the water supply input. A second discharge pattern is characterized by the fluid diversion system connecting the first spray outlet to the water supply input. A third discharge pattern is characterized by the fluid diversion system connecting the first spray outlet and the second spray outlet to the water supply input.

US Classification:

340 553, 340 552, 340 582

Abstract:

A door lock is provided with a biometric sensor and a key cylinder. The biometric sensor is protected by being positioned on a shield, and such that the sensor is not exposed to damage by being on the front face of the door lock. The shield extends vertically downwardly from the remainder of the front face of the door lock, and the sensor is mounted to an inner face of the shield. Thus, the sensor is spaced away from a door when the door lock is mounted on a door. A finger may be inserted into a space between the sensor and the door, and the sensor can then capture information about the fingerprint. This information can be compared to expected fingerprints, and entry into a building can be granted based upon a recognition of this fingerprint.

International Classification:

F16K011/078

US Classification:

137/625170

Abstract:

A single control roman tub faucet () comprises a handle, a lever coupled to the handle, and a cartridge valve () coupled to the lever. The valve () is configured to provide a maximum flow rate of at least 7.8 GPM. The cartridge valve () has a valve base () and a lower disk (). The valve base () includes an upper surface () and a lower surface () and a water passage extending between the upper and lower surfaces. The outlet end of the passage has a larger cross-sectional area than the inlet end. The lower disk () includes an inlet sized to match the outlet end of the passage. The cross section of the passage is generally arcuate and is defined by parallel side walls () and non-parallel end walls ().

International Classification:

G05D 1116

US Classification:

137 98

Abstract:

A pressure balancer system 10 having a pressure balancer 20 and a temperature controller 24 on one side of the system and a volume controller 14 on the other side of the system. The pressure balancer 20 receives hot and cold water which it discharges into the temperature controller 24 at substantially constant preselected pressure. The temperature controller 24 is adjustable to set the temperature of the flow to keep the temperature of the anti-scald below the maximum temperature of between 115. degree. F. and 120. degree. F. The volume controller received the temperature adjusted flow from the temperature controller and will set the volume of the flow at the desired volume for discharge therefrom.
