ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method is disclosed for an improved faucet and mounting, which enables the installation and removal of the faucet from the top side of a sink. FIGS. 1 and 3 of the drawings are substantially identical except for the manner for delivering water to the faucet structure. In both of the illustrations, the conventional means for clamping the faucet to the deck of a sink are eliminated. The invention is illustrated in place thereof.
In FIG. 1, the substantially universal mount, using supply nipples both to anchor, and to supply water, hot and cold, is replaced by elimination of the function of the supply line as anchor means. In essence, this invention teaches extending a pair of spaced apart bolts downwardly through the lateral body structure of a faucet, into engagement with threaded receptors carried by a sink deck, thereby exerting a clamp action to stabilize the faucet, and when removed, will allow the faucet to be lifted free of the sink, and will pull the water supply tubing up through the standard openings of the sink. An example of such sink would be a laundry tub or kitchen sink.
