Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a standard faucet with several internal steps that enable the user to control the faucet's opening and water flow rate in a fast and easy manner.
  • the present invention offers and good and efficient solution to the aforementioned problem.
  • Drawing No. 1 depicts a standard faucet (100) with a handle (101) used to open and close the faucet.
  • FIGS. 3 and 5 present cross-sections of the faucet (1) with the set of internal steps (2).
  • Fig 6 is an exploded drawing of the faucet (1) that includes the inner ring (10) on which the fixed series of steps (6) are engraved.

  • the main objective of the present invention is to provide a standard faucet with a set of internal steps such that the user may easily and rapidly open the faucet to obtain a number of pre-set water flow rates.
  • the faucet (1) is identical or similar in its design and structure to standard faucets, and so there is no need to describe the inner structure of the faucet (1).
  • the innovation offered by the faucet (1), relative to standard faucets, is that it is equipped with a set of internal steps (2) that enables the user to control the water flow rate from the faucet (1) in a fast and efficient manner.
  • FIG. 1 depicts the faucet (1) and the set of internal steps (2) that enables the user to control the opening of the faucet (1).
  • the part of the faucet (1) with the set of internal steps (2) is shown in cross-section.
  • the faucet (1) has the general design of a standard faucet and it comprises an upper part (3) with a handle (31) that is used to open and close the faucet (1), and a bottom
  • the part (4) with a spout (41) through which the water flows out of the faucet.
  • the user moves the handle (31), causing the upper part (3) of the faucet (1) to move relative to the bottom part (4).
  • the set of internal steps (2) comprises a moving series of steps (5) and a fixed series of steps (6), each of which comprises one step or more, although it is recommended that each series (5) (6) has about four steps so that the user may open and close the faucet to obtain four different water flow rates, e.g. 5%, 10%, 35%, and 100%.

  • the faucet (1) has many advantages including the following. First, it enables the user to exercise fast, efficient and easy control over the water flow rate using several pre-set flow rates that correspond to the common requirements of most users. Second, the faucet (1) is very easy to manufacture since it does not require significant changes in the structure of the standard faucet or in other means, tools and machines used to manufacture standard faucets. Third, the changes that are required in the standard faucet in order to produce the faucet (1), subject of the present invention, are minor, are relatively easy to make, and incur no significant cost.
