Abstract
A diverter assembly for a shower tub includes a housing having an inlet for receiving fluid and first and second outlets for discharging fluid. An endless advancement structure includes a flow plate fixed to the housing and a gearing arrangement rotatable relative to the flow plate. The flow plate includes a first opening in fluid communication with the first outlet and a second opening in fluid communication with the second outlet. The gearing arrangement includes third openings in fluid communication with the inlet. A handle is coupled to the gearing arrangement for selectively rotating the gearing arrangement in a single direction relative to the flow plate to alternate between placing the gearing arrangement in a first condition aligning one of the third openings with the first opening and placing the gearing arrangement in a second condition aligning one of the third openings with the second opening.
