Embodiment Construction

[0027]Referring to FIG. 1, the combined faucet and diverter valve generally 10 is shown connected to a Multiple Function Dispenser generally 11 by the hose 13. This preferred dispenser is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,708,901.

[0028]As shown in FIGS. 2-3, combined faucet and diverter valve 10 includes a valve housing 12 connected to a faucet 20 by means of threaded connectors 15 and 17. At the opposite end is another thread connector 45 for connecting the valve housing 12 to the usual valved plumbing fixture (not shown).

[0029]Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5 valve housing 12 includes a first annular cavity 14 with a second annular cavity 17 connected thereto. A fluid inlet passage 16 is provided by the threaded opening 63 in fluid communication with annular cavity 14. There is a cavity 18 in fluid communication with annular cavity 14 which conveys fluid to faucet 20. A one-way valve 19 is located in cavity 18.

[0030]A pipe interrupter / backflow device 47 is positioned in cavity 14. There are ...

Abstract

A combined faucet spout and diverter valve for attaching a dispensing system to a water source. In a first mode, water flows through the diverter valve to a first outlet which can be a faucet outlet. In a second mode, water is diverted to a fluid conduit which is fastened to a connecting member and a chemical dispenser. The connecting member provides movement of a shuttle valve which directs water in the second mode to the fluid conduit.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001]This is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 11 / 385,359 filed Mar. 21, 2006.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]None.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]This invention relates generally to a device for connecting a dispenser to a water outlet. More particularly, it relates to a combined faucet spout and diverter valve for diverting water from a water outlet to the dispenser.[0004]Diverter valves for connecting spray devices to a shower head are shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,560,548 and No. 5,624,073. A diverter valve for connecting a spray device to a toilet is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,704,946. These devices are specifically designed for use with a shower head or a toilet. They do not lend themselves for use in conjunction with a faucet.[0005]There is a need for a combined faucet and diverter valve which can be attached to a water outlet in a manner to provide a normal water flow from the faucet and...
