Embodiment approach

[0030] Referring generally to the drawings, disclosed herein is a shower faucet system that facilitates the use of a wider range of materials for the shower faucet body without interrupting the operation of the diverter lever. According to an exemplary embodiment, the disclosed shower faucet system includes a waterway fluidly coupled to a water supply and configured to receive water from the water supply. The waterway is also fluidly coupled to the conduit and is configured to provide water to the conduit. A conduit is disposed within the faucet body and is configured to be routed away from the diverter stem disposed within the faucet body. The conduit is fluidly coupled to the shower faucet outlet through the spout of the faucet body and is configured to provide water to the shower faucet outlet. The shower faucet outlet is configured to dispense water. In this way, the water does not come into contact with the faucet body itself, while also avoiding contact with the divert...

Abstract

A shower faucet system includes a housing, a diverter assembly, and an internal waterway. The housing forms a housing of the shower faucet system and includes a water inlet, a water outlet, and a cavity extending between the water inlet and the water outlet. The internal waterway is arranged in a cavity between the water inlet and the water outlet. The internal waterway comprises a water jacket and a hose. The water jacket is coupled to the water inlet and is configured to contain water flowing into the housing via the water inlet. The water jacket includes a hose connector along an outside surface of the water jacket. The hose includes a first end coupled to the hose connector, a second end coupled to the water outlet, and a central portion connecting the first end to the second end and configured to prevent water from contacting the housing.

Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0002] This application claims priority to and the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 115,964, filed November 19, 2020, and US National Patent Application No. 17 / 517,415, filed November 2, 2021, in their entirety The disclosure is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to shower faucet systems. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a shower faucet system incorporating a waterway to prevent water from contacting the shower faucet body. Background technique [0004] Because the faucet body is exposed to the flow of water, shower faucet systems are typically made from a selection of materials. Materials are usually chosen that will hardly oxidize when exposed to water. These materials can be expensive or unsightly. Furthermore, due to the movement of the diverter (eg, diverter lever, etc.) provided in the faucet body, it is difficult...
