Abstract

A quick connect/disconnect faucet water conduit assembly includes at least one valve body and a spout nipple. There is a water tube extending from the valve body and a water tube extending from the spout nipple. A conduit has first and second terminations and there is a quick connect adapter attached to each of the first and second terminations.
There are cooperating elements on each of the tubes and the quick connect adapters for locking the tubes to the adapters to thereby attach the valve body to the spout nipple.

Claims (11)

1. A quick connect/disconnect faucet water conduit assembly including at least one valve body and a spout nipple, a water tube extending from said valve body and a water tube extending from said spout nipple, a conduit having first and second terminations, a quick connect adapter attached to each of said first and second terminations, and cooperating means on each of said tubes and each of said quick connect adapters for removably locking each tube to an adapter to thereby attach said conduit between said spout nipple and said valve body.
2. The faucet water conduit assembly of claim 1 wherein said cooperating means includes an interlocking element on each tube, and a movable clip located in each quick connect adapter.
3. The faucet water conduit assembly of claim 2 wherein the interlocking element on each tube includes a shoulder formed thereon.
4. The faucet water conduit assembly of claim 2 wherein each clip is positioned within and movable within a chamber in each quick connect adapter.
5. The faucet water conduit assembly of claim 4 wherein each clip includes a pair of flexible arms permitting said clip to move inwardly and outwardly of said chamber.
6. The faucet water conduit assembly of claim 5 wherein the arms and each clip are joined by an arcuate portion of said clip, with said clip having an interior locking portion formed and positioned to interlock with a shoulder on a tube.
7. The faucet water conduit assembly of claim 3 wherein each quick connect adapter has an annular recess, spaced from its chamber, with said shoulder being positioned in said recess to hold said tube within said quick connect adapter.
8. The faucet water conduit assembly of claim 1 further including a second valve body having a water tube extending therefrom, a second conduit having first and second terminations, a quick connect adapter attached to a first termination of said second conduit and cooperating means on the tube of said second valve body and the quick connect adapter on the first termination of said second conduit for removably locking the tube of said second valve body to the quick connect adapter at the first termination of said second conduit.
9. The faucet water conduit assembly of claim 8 including a fixture supporting the quick connect adapter for said spout nipple, said fixture having means thereon for mounting terminations of said first and second conduits to connect both valve bodies to said spout nipple.
10. The faucet water conduit assembly of claim 9 wherein said fixture includes a body having first and second inlets and an outlet, with the inlets being attached to said first and second conduits and the outlet supporting the quick connect adapter for said spout nipple.
11. The faucet water conduit assembly of claim 10 wherein each of said conduits includes a hose having a flexible end thereon, the inlets of said fixture valve body each having a projection which extends into the flexible ends of said hoses, with the inlets including means for attaching the fixture body to the flexible end of the hoses.
