Description
- The present invention relates to a diverter valve, and more particularly to a diverter valve for a shower and tub.
- Diverter valves are often utilized to control water flow from a bathtub faucet or a shower head. Current diverter valves utilize a rotational cam device to divert the water flow. This may be undesirable as the rotational motion may wear seals within the diverter valve.
- A diverter valve assembly according to an exemplary aspect of the present invention includes: a valve body which defines an inlet, a first outlet and a second outlet; a rigid core; a resilient core mounted to the rigid core; and a handle core engaged with the rigid core, the handle core movable between a first position and a second position, the first position engages the resilient core with the valve body and blocks the second outlet to divert a fluid from the inlet to the first outlet, the second position engages the resilient core with the valve body and block the first outlet to divert the fluid from the inlet to the second outlet.
- The diverter valve assembly eliminates the need for rotational motion to divert water by a push method which reduces seal wear. The diverter valve assembly is also relatively easier to operate as no rotation is required.
- The various features and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of the disclosed non-limiting embodiment. The drawings that accompany the detailed description can be briefly described as follows:

FIG. 1A schematically illustrates adiverter valve assembly 20. Thediverter valve assembly 20 generally includes an inlet 22 afirst outlet 24, asecond outlet 26 and ahandle 28. Thehandle 28 is movable between a first position A to divert water from theinlet 22 to thefirst outlet 24 and a second position B to divert water from theinlet 22 to the second outlet 26 (FIG. 1B ). Thediverter valve assembly 20 eliminates the need for rotational motion which reduces seal wear. Thediverter valve assembly 20 is also relatively easier to operate by this no rotation required switch method. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , an exploded view of thediverter valve assembly 20 is illustrated. Thediverter valve assembly 20 generally includes thehandle 28, ahousing front cover 30, aflange 32, ahandle core 34, afix plate 36, arigid core 38, aresilient core 40, a detent 42, a spring 44, avalve body 46, ahousing 48 and ahousing back cover 50. Theresilient core 40 is mounted within therigid core 38 to define an effective seal surface within thevalve body 46. Theresilient core 40 may be manufactured of a resilient material such as rubber or other seal material while therigid core 38 is manufactured of a relatively more rigid material such as a plastic or the like of which the overdiverter valve assembly 20 components are manufactured. - The
rigid core 38 with theresilient core 40 retained therein is movably retained within thevalve body 46 by thefix plate 36. Thefix plate 36 may be snapped with an interference fit, threaded or otherwise attached to thevalve body 46. Thehandle core 34 is captured within thefix plate 36 by theflange 32. Theflange 32 is snapped with an interference fit, threaded or otherwise attached to thefix plate 36. Theflange 32, handlecore 34fix plate 36,rigid core 38/resilient core 40 as assembled to thevalve body 46 provides a subassembly to be mounted within thehousing 48 and enclosed therein by thehousing front cover 30 andback cover 50. - The
handle 28 is thereby pivotally retained within thehousing front cover 30 to actuate thehandle core 34. Thehandle 28 is mounted to thehandle core 34 such that movement of thehandle 28 pivots thehandle core 34. Thehandle core 34 pivots relative thefix plate 36 about aball section 34B which defines a pivot T of thehandle core 34. Thehandle core 34 pivots about pivot T to slide therigid core 38 within thevalve body 46. Thehandle 28 and thus thehandle core 38 is movable between a first position (FIGS. 3A-3C ) and a second position (FIGS. 4A-4C ) with an intermediate position (FIGS. 5A-5C ) therebetween. - The
rigid core 38 includes a detent pocket 52 which receives the detent 42 which is biased by the spring 44. The detent 42 is engageable with a series ofrecesses FIGS. 3B , 4B, and 5B) to further define the positions A, B and C. Therigid core 38 further includes atab 56 which is engageable with aslot 58 defined within the valve body 46 (best seen inFIGS. 3C , 4C, and 5C). The detent 42 engagement with the series ofrecesses tab 56 engagement with theslot 58 facilitate movement control of therigid core 38 within thevalve body 46. - Referring to
FIG. 3A , the first position A engages theresilient core 40 with thevalve body 46 and blocks thesecond outlet 26 to divert a fluid from theinlet 22 to thefirst outlet 24. Therigid core 38 slides within thevalve body 46 such that theresilient core 40 essentially plugs a second valve body opening 46B (FIG. 3B ). The fluid flows from theinlet 22 to pass between awall 46W of thevalve body 46 and the fix plate 36 (FIG. 3C ). - Referring to
FIG. 4A , the second position B engages theresilient core 40 with thevalve body 46 and block thefirst outlet 24 to divert fluid from theinlet 22 to thesecond outlet 26. Therigid core 38 slides within thevalve body 46 such that theresilient core 40 essentially plugs a first valve body opening 46A (FIGS. 4B and 4C ). - Referring to
FIG. 5A , an intermediate position C of thehandle 28 and thus thehandle core 38 permits fluid to flow theinlet 22 to both thefirst outlet 24 and the second outlet 26 (FIGS. 5B ). Therigid core 38 is located within thevalve body 46 such that theresilient core 40 plugs neither the first valve body opening 46A or the second valve body opening 46B (FIG. 5C ). - It should be understood that like reference numerals identify corresponding or similar elements throughout the several drawings. It should also be understood that although a particular component arrangement is disclosed in the illustrated embodiment, other arrangements will benefit from the instant invention.
- The foregoing description is exemplary rather than defined by the limitations within. Many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. The disclosed embodiments of this invention have been disclosed, however, one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that certain modifications would come within the scope of this invention. It is, therefore, to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described. For that reason the following claims should be studied to determine the true scope and content of this invention.
