ABSTRACT:
A mixing faucet equipped with a diverter valve assembly having a specially designed seal sleeve has multiple discharge outlets. A pipe combination set having a closed end in communication with a hot and cold water tube and provided with a number of outlet tubes is mounted to a faucet body. The seal sleeve having a number of tubular discharge protrusions in conformance to the outlet tubes of the pipe combination set is housed in the pipe combination set. A diverter valve having an opened end and a water outlet is engaged with the seat sleeve that are housed in the pipe combination set. The diverter valve is controllably rotated so as to make the water outlet selectively register with one of the tubular discharge protrusions of the seal sleeve for control of the discharge path of a faucet. Besides, the diverter valve is provided with a spring biased retaining pin that is selectively engaged with one of a number of positioning holes on a knob so as to make the operation of the knob quick and precise. The seal sleeve has a number of axial ribs and each tubular discharge protrusion has two concentric circular ribs and radial secondary ribs for protecting leakage from happening in the seal sleeve.
