Abstract
The invention is an improved diversion device between a faucet and a showerhead. The diversion device has a hollow housing (16) jointed by a pair of water pipes: one for cold water and the other for hot water, and is used to shut off the source water as well as divert it to either a showerhead or to a spigot.
The diversion device has a diversion tube (20) and a control shaft (30) rotatably received in the diversion tube (20). The position of the control shaft (30) with respective to the diversion tube (20) is determined by the extension of the abutting member (368) movably received in the control shaft (30) into a locking hole (24) in the diversion tube (20).

t4 With reference to Fig. 1, a diversion device, like a conventional diversion i s device, connects a hot -water inlet pipe ( 14) and a cold water inlet pipe ( 12). The 16 two pipes ( 12,14) join at a central housing ( 16). A :knob ( 18) on the front of the housing ( 16) is used to control the mixture of hot and cold water the flow of water i s to either the showerhead or to the spigot.
i9 With reference to Figs. 2 and 3, the diversion tube (20) is held within the 2o housing ( 16) in a watertight fit. The inner chamber of the housing ( 16) is divided 2i into four sections by the diversion tube (20) and corresponding walls: an upper 22 outlet chamber ( 162), two inlet chambers ( 160) and a lower outlet chamber ( 164).
23 The four chambers ( 160,162,164) are separated by two O-rings (260) respectively 2a installed in two grooves (26) so that the water cannot flow within the space i defined by the housing's ( 16) inner surface and the diversion tube's (20) outer 2 surface. The housing ( 16) further has a plug ( 166) mounted on the back thereof so s as to seal the open end of the housing ( 16). The upper outlet chamber ( 162) is 4 connected to the showerhead (not shown) and the lower outlet chamber ( 164) is s connected to the spigot (now shown). In the diversion tube (20), an upper outlet 6 hole (202), a plurality of inlet holes (200) and a lower outlet hole (204) correspond to the upper outlet chamber ( 162), two inlet chambers ( 160) and lower outlet s chamber ( 164), respectively. An arcuate cutout (22) is defined around the outside 9 of the diversion tube (20). A screw hole (34) radially defined in the control shaft io (30) corresponds to the arcuate cutout (22). Ai~er the control shaft (30) is inserted i i into the diversion tube (20), a positioning screw (340) is inserted through the t2 arcuate cutout (22) and screwed into the screw hole (34). Thereafter, the control i3 shaft (30) is able to rotate within the diversion tube (20) within a limited range. A
la locking hole (24) is defined in the diversion tube (20) among the multiple inlet is holes (200). A positioning screw hole (360) is defined in the control shaft (30) to 16 correspond to the locking hole (24), such that a coil spring (366), an abutting 17 member (368) and a bushing (362) are able to be inserted into the positioning is screw hole (360). The abutting member (368) and the coil spring (366) are secured ~9 in the positioning screw hole (360) by screwing the bushing (362) into the 2o positioning screw hole (360). The bushing (362) further has a through hole (364) 2i defined therein. The abutting member (368) has a tapered head (369) formed on 22 the top thereof, such that when the abutting member (368) is securely held in the 23 positioning screw hole (360) by the bushing (362), the tapered head (369) extends 2a out from the through hole (364) of the bushing (362). When the control shaft (30) 1 is assembled in the diversion tube (20), the screw hole (34) corresponds to the 2 arcuate cutout (22), which allows the alignment between the positioning screw 3 hole (360) and the locking hole (24). Whereby, the tapered head (369) extends out from the locking hole (24) of the diversion tube (20) to secure the diversion tube s and the control shaft (30).
6 As shown in Fig. 5 with reference to Fig. 2,, the side view of the assembled diversion tube (20) and control shaft (30) together with accompanying cross s sections from five different positions show the relative positions of the 9 components of the control shaft (30) and the diversions tube (20) when the control io shaft (30) is in the "shut off' position.
t 1 In Fig. S A-A, the upper outlet hole (202) in the diversion tube (20) is t2 closed by the shield (324) in the control shaft (30);
i3 In Fig. 5 B-B, the inlet holes (200) in the diversion tube (20) are open to a is recessed face (32) formed on the control shaft (30);
is In Fig. 5 C-C, the lower outlet hole (204) in the diversion tube (20) is also i6 closed by the shield (324);
m In Fig. 5 D-D, the positioning screw (340) is at the center of the arcuate tg cutout (22), and it can be turned to the left or right; and, In Fig. 5 E-E, under the force of the coil spring (366), the tapered head 20 (369) of the abutting member (368) is pushed into the locking hole (24) thus 21 providing a positioning force on the control shaft (30) with respect to the diversion 22 tube (20). Under these conditions, all the outlet holes are closed so the diverter is 23 "shut off'.
1 As shown in Fig. 6 with reference to Fig. 2, the control shaft (30) is turned 2 to the position open to the "spigot".
3 In Fig. 6 A-A, the upper outlet hole (202) in the diversion tube (20) is a closed by the shield (324);
s In Fig. 6 B-B, the inlet holes (200) in the diversion tube (20) are open;
6 In Fig. 6 C-C, the lower outlet hole (204) is also open;
In Fig. 6 D-D, the positioning screw (340) is at the right most end of the s arcuate cutout (22), a position easy to be identified by a user;
9 In Fig. 6 E-E, the coil spring (366) is compressed and the abutting member to (368) is pushed by the spring to abut against the inner surface of the diversion tube i i (20).
i2 Under these conditions, the inlet hole (200) and the lower outlet hole (204) 13 which connects to the-lower outlet chamber (164) which connects to the pipe is leading to the spigot is open and the upper outlet hole (202) is closed, so the i s source water will be diverted to the spigot.
From the description above, it is to be noted that when the positions of the m locking hole (24) of the diversion tube (20) and the positioning screw hole (360) is are changed, the desired function and effect of the invention can still be 19 accomplished. Furthermore, the assembly and the fabrication thereof are improved 2o dramatically.
2 ~ It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and 22 advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing 23 description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the 2a disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in t matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the 2 invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
