ABSTRACT:
An adjustable valve incorporated into a faucet or shower head which is manually manipulatable in order to control water flow at the faucet or shower head with the adjustable valve including interchangeable components to enable the faucet and shower head to be provided with an aerator or jet spray arrangement and enabling the components to be assembled in a manner which will reduce the number of different components necessary to assemble either a faucet or shower head which includes an adjustable valve therein. The adjustable valve includes a rotatably supported crown or shower head bell which can be manually rotated to adjust the valve with the valve itself including a restrictor having orifices therein and a valve plate having flat surfaces and a cavity associated with a central opening to enable control of flow through the orifices. In addition, the adjustable valve includes components enabling transfer of rotational movement from the crown or shower head bell to the valve plate and components enabling discharge of aerated water or discharge of jet spray water. The assembly includes an external head or housing which may be screw threaded internally at the upper end thereof or externally at the upper end thereof for association with a faucet or shower pipe provided with external or internal threads. Interchangeable sprinkler and jet spray assemblies are positionable in the housing with the restrictor and valve plate being identical in both the faucet and shower head assembly. Also, the crown and shower head bell are interchangeable thereby reducing the number of components which must be manufactured in order to provide a faucet with either an aerating discharge or jet spray discharge and a shower head with either an aerating or jet spray discharge.
