Latest Patents

One of Niederlander's latest patents is for a fluid diverter system. This invention features improved fluid diverter mechanisms in fluid control valves specifically designed for faucets, such as kitchen faucets. The mechanisms are arranged in a triangular formation and include a hollow, rotatable sphere with an extended shaft, allowing for better operation of the faucet. The sphere has an entry hole and an exit hole to regulate fluid flow, along with an anti-rotation feature. The fluid diverter mechanism is designed with at least two set points, enabling multiple spray types or functions. By moving the extended shaft to a desired set point, the sphere rotates, aligning its exit hole with the corresponding spray delivery line.

Another significant patent is for an axially compressible bearing. This bearing is designed to couple a faucet spout to a faucet body. It features a plurality of fingers that extend parallel to the central axis of the bearing. These fingers engage with the faucet spout at an intermediate position, exerting outward pressure to secure the spout. The design allows the fingers to compress
