Abstract

A single pushbutton device includes a housing, a bushing, a water channel assembly, and a rotary assembly. The bushing and the rotary assembly are mounted inside of the housing, the water channel assembly is mounted around of the rotary assembly, and a button is through a hole of the housing. When push down the button, a rotary sleeve of the rotary assembly is rotated, a bump of the rotary sleeve is rotated along multiple noses of the multiple abutting inserts of the water channel assembly to sequentially press down the abutting inserts, further open different waterways, and output water with different spray or bubbling forms. Given the foregoing structure, the single pushbutton device is compact, facilitates quick and convenient operation, and requires less force exerted thereon for operation.

Claims (18)

1. A single pushbutton device for switching to output water with multiple spray patterns comprising:

a housing being tubular and having a front end, a rear end and a hole formed through a peripheral wall of the housing;

a bushing mounted inside the top end of the housing with a bubbler mounted inside the bushing;

a water channel assembly including: a water tube having:

a front portion connected with the bushing; a rear portion; and

multiple recesses formed in the water tube and located around the water tube;

multiple abutting inserts respectively mounted and being movable in the recesses of the water tube, each abutting insert having a nose formed on a top thereof; and

multiple first springs, each first spring mounted between a corresponding abutting insert and the water tube;

a rotary assembly mounted around the water channel assembly and having:

a rotary sleeve having a front end, a rear end, and a bump formed on an inner wall of the rotary sleeve;

a ratchet mounted on the rear end of the rotary sleeve, wherein the rear portion of the water tube is connected with the ratchet; and

a pressing frame mounted through the ratchet, mounted inside the housing, and having a projected portion formed on a top portion of the pressing frame; and a button mounted through the hole of the housing and mounted on the projected portion of the pressing frame.

2. The single pushbutton device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotary assembly has:

a driving pawl mounted between the pressing frame and the ratchet; and

a stop pawl mounted between the ratchet and the housing.

3. The single pushbutton device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein, when the rotary sleeve is rotated, the bump of the rotary sleeve is selectively connected with the noses of the abutting inserts.

4. The single pushbutton device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein multiple second springs are mounted between the pressing frame and the housing.

5. The single pushbutton device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bushing has multiple waterways formed through the bushing and communicating with corresponding recesses of the water tube to output water with multiple spray patterns through the waterways of the bushing.
