AI Technical Summary
Existing faucets require manual adjustment of water flow, which is often imprecise and leads to water wastage, as users struggle to accurately determine the required flow based on their specific needs.
A staged faucet design with a spring-loaded setscrew and channel mechanism that allows for gradual adjustment of water flow by moving an on-off handle, providing distinct sensations of flow levels.
Enables precise and intuitive adjustment of water flow, reducing wastage by allowing users to easily transition between flow levels without over- or under-adjusting.

Abstract
Description
[0001] STAGED FAUCET
[0002] Technical Field
[0003] The invention relates to a staged faucet which provides a distinct sensation of the amount of water flow in faucets, taps and fountains.
[0004] Prior Art
[0005] With lever and mixer taps, it is up to the user to determine the amount of water flow. The amount of opening is random rather than the amount required. Adjusting the sufficient and desired amount of water can lead to loss of time. In fact, since it is difficult to adjust the amount of water flow, many people meet the need by opening the water to the end. This leads to waste of water.
[0006] In the same way, the amount of water required for a person washing his hands in lever and faucet types will not be the same as that of an employee working in the kitchen. Therefore, there is a need to design a faucet that allows the amount of water flow to be adjusted in a practical way, taking into account the places of use.
[0007] ES1065844U discloses an ecological single lever faucet comprising a faucet body and a manually operated lever.
[0008] RU203454U1 discloses a water-saving tap for domestic and drinking water supply.
[0009] CN205101603U discloses an apparatus for restricting the flow of water.
[0010] CN213017949U discloses a faucet having a water saving function.
[0011] When the existing improvements in the art were examined, there was a need to realise a staged faucet that allows the amount of water flow of the faucets, taps and fountains to be felt distinctly. Objectives of the Invention
[0012] The object of the present invention to realise a staged faucet which provides a distinct sensation of the amount of water flow in faucets, taps and fountains.
[0013] Detailed Descrition of the Invention
[0014] The staged faucet realised to achieve the objects of the present invention is shown in the accompanying figures.
[0015] These figures;
[0016] Figure 1: The perspective view of the staged faucet of the invention.
[0017] Figure 2: Exploded view of the staged faucet of the invention.
[0018] Figure 3: Sectional view of the staged faucet in the blasted position.
[0019] Figure 4: Side section view of the staged faucet in the first level (closed position).
[0020] Figure 5: Side view of the staged faucet at the last level (fully open position).
[0021] Figure 6: Side section view of the staged faucet at the last level (fully open position).
[0022] The parts in the figures are numbered one by one and the equivalents of these numbers are given below.
[0023] 1. Body
[0024] 2. Body cover
[0025] 3. On-off handle
[0026] 4. Cartridge bearing
[0027] 5. Cartridge end
[0028] 6. Spring-loaded setscrew The invention relates to a staged faucet which provides a distinct sensation of the amount of water flow; comprising, body (1), body cover (2), which is closed over the body (1) and provided with level channels, on-off handle (3), which moves on the body cover (2) and enables the flow rate of the water to be determined when moving from bottom to top and the temperature of the water when moving from right to left, cartridge bearing (4) in the body (1) which determines the amount, temperature and coldness of the flowing water, cartridge end (5) connecting the cartridge bearing (4) to the opening and on-off handle (3),
[0029] Spring-loaded setscrew (6), which is placed on the gap opened on the on- off handle (3), fits into the grooves on the body cover (2) with spring force and enables the step to be changed by applying force to the on-off handle (3),
[0030] In the staged faucet according to the invention, the faucet first connected to the water installation. After the necessary connections related to the water installation are made, the on-off handle (3) is lifted upwards to ensure the flow of water in the faucet. In the meantime, the marble of the spring-loaded setscrew (6) placed on the on-off handle (3) sits into the channels opened in the body cover (2) with the spring force and provides movement on the channels. With the movement of the on-off handle (3), the spring-loaded setscrew (6) is seated in the first channel, which constitutes the first level. In order to move the fountain to the next level, a little more force is applied to the on-off handle (3) and the movement of the spring-loaded setscrew (6) is ensured and thus, the transition to another channel on the body cover (2) is provided and the other level is passed.
[0031] In the inventive staged faucet, thanks to these parts, the flow rate of the water can be adjusted gradually without any difficulty in deciding whether the water will flow more or less.
Claims
CLAIMS1. A staged faucet which provides a distinct sensation of the amount of water flow; characterized by comprising, body (1), body cover (2), which is closed over the body (1) and provided with level channels, on-off handle (3), which moves on the body cover (2) and enables the flow rate of the water to be determined when moving from bottom to top and the temperature of the water when moving from right to left,Spring-loaded setscrew (6), which is placed on the gap opened on the on-off handle (3), fits into the grooves on the body cover (2) with spring force and enables the step to be changed by applying force to the on-off handle (3).
2. A staged faucet according to claim 1, characterized by comprising, cartridge bearing (4) in the body (1) which determines the amount, temperature and coldness of the flowing water.
