Definitions

  • This invention relates to a water tap having a tap body, separate connections on the tap body for receiving supplies of hot water, cold water and filtered water, a common discharge spout mounted on the tap body, and valves for controlling the supply of hot water, cold water and filtered water from the tap body to the discharge spout.
  • the spout may have two separate passages, each dedicated to one of the hot and cold water supplies, and which have discharge outlets located adjacent to, or close to each other, and so that a single jet of hot and / or cold water can be discharged.
  • the spout may have a single passage, along which hot only, or cold only water may pass, upon opening of the hot or cold valves.
  • the tap body may incorporate a pre-mixing chamber, in which hot and cold water supplies may be mixed (upon opening of both of the hot and cold water valves), prior to the mixed supply passing along the single passage in the discharge spout to be discharged as a mixed jet of hot and cold water.
  • the invention has therefore been developed to address this need in a way that is effective, but simpler in construction and therefore can be made available at a competitive price.
  • a water tap having a tap body, separate connections on the tap body for receiving supplies of hot water, cold water and filtered water, a common discharge spout mounted on the tap body, and valves for controlling the supply of hot water, cold water and filtered water from the tap body to the discharge spout, in which:
  • two discharge passages only are provided in the discharge spout, and the first of which is dedicated to supply hot water only, whereas the second can selectively discharge cold water or (cold) filtered water only, under the control of the dual purpose water control valve, and depending upon whether the diverter valve communicates the incoming cold water route or the incoming filtered water route with the common outgoing route.
  • the dual purpose water control valve therefore can be quite simply a standard cold water control knob, button or handle, and the diverter valve can be sourced economically by utilising existing technology available in bath taps or similar, or incorporated into the tap body (diverters are used to divert water flow between a common discharge spout to fill the bath and a supply line leading to a shower fitting or similar).
  • the flow along the second discharge passage can be changed easily between (unfiltered) cold water supply and filtered water supply, and if there are any consumer concerns that the passage has previously conveyed unfiltered water, it is only necessary to let the filtered water flow run for a little longer to flush out the passage, before filling a glass, jug etc with filtered water.
  • the diverter valve is arranged to revert automatically to cold water routing to the common outgoing route (after operation to route filtered water), and this reversion may be after a predetermined time period e.g. for long enough to fill a glass, and under spring or other return control.
  • a water tap according to the invention is designated generally by reference 10 and has a tap body 11, separate connections 12, 13, 14 on the tap body 11 for receiving, respectively, supplies of cold water C, filtered water F and hot water H.
  • a common discharge spout 15 is mounted on the tap body 11, and valves are provided to control the supply of hot water H, cold water C and filtered water F from the tap body 11 to the discharge spout 15.
  • the discharge spout 15 is provided internally with two separate discharge passages only, namely first passage 16 which is dedicated to convey hot water only, and second discharge passage 17 which is dedicated to supply cold water or filtered water. As can be seen, the passages 16 and 17 lead to a common discharge outlet 18 of the spout 15.
  • the tap body 11 defines a route 19 for hot water only, under control of a hot water control valve 20, and route 19 communicates with the dedicated first discharge passage 16 of the discharge spout 15, and which can therefore discharge hot water only.
  • the tap body 11 also defines separate incoming routes 21 and 22 for each of the cold water C and the filtered water F.
  • the tap body 11 also defines a common outgoing route 23 for one or the other only of cold water C and filtered water F, and such common outgoing route 23 communicates with the second discharge passage 17, which is dedicated to the common outgoing route 23.
  • a diverter valve 24 is mounted on the tap body 11 and is operative selectively to control the communication of the incoming route 21 for cold water C, or the incoming route 22 for filtered water F, with the common outgoing route 23. According to the operation of the diverter valve, cold water C or filtered water F can be discharged via the outlet 18 of the spout 15, via dedicated second discharge passage 17.
  • a dual purpose water control valve 25 is provided on the tap body 11, and is operative to control the flow along the common outgoing route 23.
  • two discharge passages 16, 17 only are provided in the discharge spout 15, and the first passage 16 is dedicated to supply hot water only, whereas the second passage 17 selectively discharges cold water, or filtered water only, under the control of the dual purpose water control valve 25, and depending upon whether the diverter valve 24 communicates the incoming cold water route 21 or the incoming filtered water route 22 with the common outgoing route 23.
  • the dual purpose water control valve 25 can be quite simply a standard cold water control knob, button or handle, and the diverter valve 24 can be sourced economically by utilising existing technology available in bath taps, or similar.
  • the diverter valve 24 may be arranged to revert automatically to cold water routing to the common outgoing route (after operation to route filtered water only), and this reversion may be after a predetermined time period, or under spring or other return movement control.
