Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fluid delivery system and, more particularly, to a fluid delivery system including a faucet and a hand-held sprayer.
- Fluid delivery systems including a faucet and a hand-held sprayer are known in the art.
- Such systems typically include a diverter valve coupled to the faucet for switching water flow between a delivery spout of the faucet and a spray outlet of the hand-held sprayer.
- Hot and cold water supplies are fluidly coupled to at least one control valve of the faucet which controls both the flow rate and the temperature of water delivered from the faucet or the hand-held sprayer, as selected by the diverter valve.
- the flow rate and the temperature of water delivered from the handheld sprayer are dependant upon operation of the control valve of the faucet.
- the flow and the temperature of water delivered from the hand-held sprayer is controlled by operation of the faucet and not by the hand-held sprayer itself.
- a fluid delivery system includes a faucet having a delivery spout, and a hand-held sprayer having a spray outlet coupled to a housing.
- the faucet further includes at least one valve fluidly coupled to the delivery spout, a hot water supply, and a cold water supply.
- the at least one valve of the faucet is configured to control the temperature of water supplied to the delivery spout.
- the hand-held sprayer further includes at least one valve fluidly coupled to the spray outlet, the hot water supply, and the cold water supply.
- the at least one valve of the hand-held sprayer is configured to control the temperature of water supplied to the spray outlet independent of the at least one valve of the faucet.
- a hand-held fluid delivery device includes a housing configured to be held by the hand of a user, a spray outlet supported by the housing, and an inlet supported by the housing. At least one flexible tubular member is configured to fluidly couple the inlet to a hot water supply and a cold water supply.
- a valve assembly is received within the housing intermediate the spray outlet and the inlet.
- An actuator is supported by the housing and is operably coupled to the valve assembly for controlling the flow of water to the spray outlet.
- a control member is supported by the housing and is operably coupled to the valve assembly for controlling the temperature of water to the spray outlet.
- a method of delivering fluid to a sink comprises the steps of providing a delivery spout and a hand-held sprayer, controlling the flow of water delivered from the delivery spout, and controlling the flow of water delivered from the hand-held sprayer independently from the flow of water delivered from the delivery spout.
- the method further includes the step of controlling the temperature of the water delivered from the delivery spout, and controlling the temperature of the water delivered from the handheld sprayer independently from the temperature of the water delivered from the delivery spout.

- Both valve members 116 and 118 are illustratively of conventional design and are configured to control the flow rate of water supplied to the delivery spout 104. More particularly, the valve member 116 controls the flow rate of hot water from the first input supply tube 44 to the tubular member 112, while the valve member 118 controls the flow rate of cold water from the second input supply tube 46 to the tubular member 114.
- the first valve member 116 is operably coupled to a first handle 120, while the second valve member 118 is operably coupled to a second handle 122.
- the flow and the temperature of water supplied to the delivery spout 58, 104 of the faucet 12, 102 is controlled by operation of the respective control valve(s) 48 and 106, 108 through movement of handles 52 and 120, 122.
- the flow and temperature of water supplied to the spray outlet 76 of the hand-held sprayer 14 is independently controlled by operation of the control valve 80, illustratively through operation of the flow valve member 82 and the temperature valve member 84, respectively.
- the control valve 80 of the sprayer 14 is independently controllable relative to the control valve 48 of the faucet 12 illustrated in Fig. 1.
- the control valve 80 of the sprayer 14 is independently controllable relative to the control valves 106 and 108 of the faucet 102 illustrated in Fig. 5.
- the user may control the flow of water delivered from the faucet 12, 102 by delivering water from the delivery spout 58, 104 at a first flow rate.
- the user may control the flow of water delivered from the hand-held sprayer 14 by delivering water from the spray outlet 76 at a second flow rate.
- the second flow rate may be set independently from, and have a different value than, the first flow rate.
- the user may control the respective valves 48, 106, 108 and 80 such that (1) water is delivered from the spray outlet 76 but not from delivery spout 58, 104 (2) water is delivered from the delivery spout 58, 104 but not from the spray outlet 76, or (3) water is delivered simultaneously from both the delivery spout 58, 104 and the spray outlet 76 at the same or at different flow rates.
- the user may set a first temperature for water delivered from the delivery spout 58 and set a second temperature for water delivered from the spray outlet 76.
- the second temperature may be set independently from, and have a different value than, the first temperature.
- the first temperature is set by controlling the respective control valve(s) 42, 106, 108 of the faucet 12, 102, while the second temperature is set by controlling the control valve 80 of the sprayer 14.
- the fluid delivery system 10, 100 permits independent operation of the faucet 12, 102 and the hand-held sprayer 14. More particularly, the flow and the temperature of water delivered from the spray outlet 76 of the hand-held sprayer 14 may be controlled independently from the flow and the temperature of water delivered from the delivery spout 58, 104 of the faucet 12, 102. As such, a user does not need to operate the faucet handle(s) 52, 120, 122 in order to operate the hand-held sprayer 14. In other words, the faucet 12 may be operated with one set of parameters for water flow and temperature, and the sprayer 14 may be operated with another set of parameters for water flow and temperature.
