International Classification:

F16K 5/00

US Classification:

1374546, 137606, 251313

Abstract:

A water dispenser assembly includes valve cartridges for controlling the flow of cold water from the cold-water inlet and the spout. Each valve cartridge includes a rotatable stem extending from a body. The water dispenser assembly includes a self-closing feature that provides for the automatic shut-off of flow of hot water responsive to release of the handle. The self-closing feature includes a spring held onto the stem by an adaptor. The self-closing feature is contained entirely within the valve cartridge and therefore does not require any modification to the housing.

US Classification:

181209, 181207, 24834604

Abstract:

A vibration-control platform that, in some embodiments, includes a bottom plate having three or more wells. The wells receive a plurality of vibration-control elements, which are used to isolate a supported object from vibrations. In some embodiments, the vibration-control elements are rubber balls. The presence of the wells facilitates placement of the vibration-control elements under a top platform or directly under an object, especially when the object is located in a tight space, such as in a component rack, or when the object has a non-uniform weight distribution.

International Classification:

F16K 1/04

US Classification:

137216000

Abstract:

A faucet assembly includes an air gap assembly disposed within a lower housing onto which is assembled a faucet assembly. The faucet assembly substantially conceals the air gap assembly within the lower housing. The faucet is mounted atop the lower housing. The lower housing includes an outer surface that corresponds to an outer surface of the upper housing such that the two housings provide a substantially continuous and mated appearance. The design and shape of the upper housing and the lower housing provide for an integrated faucet assembly that includes the air gap assembly substantially concealed within the faucet.

International Classification:

US Classification:

138109, 285179

Abstract:

A water supply fixture is used to connect water supply source to an electronic bidet toilet seat. The water supply fixture includes two main portions. The first portion is a decorative rigid assembly that can be designed to blend in with the electronic bidet toilet seat appearance. This first portion, when being installed with the electronic bidet toilet seat, will occupy the plain sight of the user's view when he or she is in the standing position and looking down to the bidet toilet seat. The second portion of the water supply fixture is a flexible supply hose which generally may not be aesthetically good-looking,. This unaesthetic flexible supply hose, when being used, will be partly covered by the first portion of the water supply fixture, largely hidden underneath the electronic bidet toilet seat, and almost completely out of the user's view when looking down to the bidet toilet seat.
