Abstract
At home or hotel lavatory it is used ordinary faucet to wash a face and clean teeth. All lavatory faucets share similar functions. The new design makes it possible for someone to rinse or gargle without having to use a glass of water. This is an improvement in usability and hygiene. Cleaning one's teeth would be easier and more efficient-something every dentist would appreciate. The new faucet has the same shape and size as most faucets do now and comes in several variations.
Description
CA 0221~433 1997-11-07 Specification This invention relates to taps for use with sinks in a bathroom or a washroom.
The conventional construction of such a water tap is well known It may, for example, have a valve for hot water and a valve for cold water and a mixer outlet. Shapes may vary but the principal is always the same. The mixer outlet is directed downwardly to deliver v~ater into the sink. If it is desired to rinse out the mouth, it is necessary to either fill a glass of water from the tap or to contort the body so that the downv,/ardly directed stream of water may be received in the mouth.
According to the present invention there is provided a double purpose tap having a dovvnwardly direct outlet to direct water downwardly into the sink and an upwardly directed outlet to direct water upwardly as a drinking or mouth rinsing fountain and means to switch water flow from one outlet to the other.
Preferably the upwardly directed outlet may be angled to the vertical so that water does not fall directly onto the body of the tap. Moreover, means may be provided to reduce water pressure in the upwardly directed outlet so that the height and strength of the f~untain is not too great.
A tap according to the invention may for example include a tap body having an upstream end and a downstream end, a valve including a handle located at the upstream end of the tap body, the valve being openable by means of the handle to allow water flow to the tap body or closable by means of the handle against such vvater flow, an upwardly directed outlet and a downvvardly directed outlet for v~/ater at the dov~mstream end of the tap body and manually operable means to direct water flow in the tap body to either one of the upv~/ardly directed outlet and the downwardly directed outlet.
Preferably the manually operable means comprises a turnable handle or a lever connected to rotate a ball valve between a position in which it allows water flow to the downwardly directed outlet and a position in which it allows ~vater flow to the upwardly directed outlet.
An embodiment of the invention v~ill now be described with reference to the drawing in which the single figure illustrates a tap accordi,lg to the invention.
The tap comprises a tap body 1 having a tap handle 2 at its upstream end and a downwardly directed outlet 3 at its upstream end. It v~/ill be appreciated that the shape of the tap can vary considerably. The handle 2 is operable to open and close a valve 4 which, v,/hen open, allows water to flow into the tap body or which, when closed, stops such flow.
Valve 4 may, of course, be either a single valve, a mixer valve, or may include paired valves for hot and cold v,/ater.
CA 0221~433 1997-11-07 In addition to downv,/ardly directed outlet 3, the tap body 1 is provided, near its downstream end with an upwardly directed nozle 5. Within the tap body 1 a water channel 7 ends in a Tjunction, one arm 8 of v,/hich leads to the upwardly directed nozle 5 and the other arm 9 of which forms the downwardly directed outlet 3.
Within the Tjunction, a ball valve 10 operates to allow water flow from channel 7 to either arm 8 or to arm 9. The ball valve may have a right-angled channel 11 there through, one leg of the channel being aligned with the pipe 7. The ball valve 10 has a stem 12 axially aligned with pipe 7 to project outwardly from the tap body 1 and ending in a handle 13. Ball valve 10 is operable by turning handle 13 to rotate the ball to connect channel 1 1 with either arm 9 and hence to the downwardly directed outlet 3 or with arm 8 and hence with the upv~ardly directed nozle 5.
In order to fill the sink the tap may be used in the usual v~lay by operali"g valve 4 by handle

2 and allov"ing water to flow through downwardly directed outlet 3. When it is desired to use the water fountain, handle 13 may be rotated to rotate ball valve 10 to direct water upwardly.
Conveniently upwardly directed nozle 5 is adjustable at an angle to the vertical so that upward water flow may be directed so that it does not fall onto the tap body or at an angle convenient to the user. Moreover, pressure reduction means may be included for upwardly directed nozle 5 for adjustment of the height and strength of the water fountain.
