Abstract:

A soap dispenser includes a pump assembly having an outwardly extending reciprocal plunger. A handle assembly is pivotally mounted to the pump assembly and includes an outwardly projecting operating handle. There is a discharge tube in the handle assembly which has an outlet adjacent the end of the handle. A connector is seated on the pump assembly and is attached to the handle assembly. The discharge tube which is attached to the connector, in cooperation with the connector and the pump assembly plunger, provides a soap passage, normally filled with soap, which extends between the pump assembly and the outlet. There is a check valve in the soap passage. Pivotal movement of the handle has the effect of moving the pump assembly plunger in an inward direction resulting in a measured amount of soap being moved through the soap passage and discharged from the outlet.

Abstract:

A two handle faucet and mounting structure has a pair of valve bodies each of which contain a control valve. The valve bodies extend through sink deck openings and are connected by a waterway which is positioned beneath the sink deck. A spout tube is attached to the waterway and extends through a third sink deck opening which is positioned between the other two. A mounting bracket is attached to the waterway and is adapted to be drawn up against the underside of the sink deck by the use of a mounting tool which is inserted into the mounting bracket from above the sink deck. The valve bodies are first positioned through openings in the sink deck and loosely held to the sink deck through the use of mounting members which are positioned in valve body recesses above the sink deck. After the valve bodies have been attached to the sink deck by the mounting members and after the mounting bracket has been drawn up tight against the underside of the sink deck, the spout is positioned on the spout tube and then the mounting tool is inserted through the lift rod opening in the spout to attach the spout to the spout tube and to the top of the sink deck.
