Abstract: A faucet assembly (10) with a vertical riser (20) that is easier to install both for an initial installation and a retrofit installation. The faucet assembly (10) has a main faucet body (12) that defines an axially extending cavity. A positive locking mechanism in the form of a resiliently compressible star lock washer (30) is disposed to rest on the bottom of the cavity, which is provided with an opening that communicates with a pressurized water service. A hollow adapter sleeve (40) is inserted into the cavity on top of the star lock washer (30). An O-ring (50) between the exterior of the adapter sleeve (40) and the surrounding sidewall that defines the cavity effects a water-tight fit between the adapter sleeve (40) and the sidewall. The tapered threaded end of the the riser (20) is detachably connected to the adapter sleeve (40) by being screwed into the tapered threaded opening of the adapter sleeve (40). A retaining nut (60) that is slidably mounted over the riser (20) is screwed onto the main faucet body (12) to confine the adapter sleeve (40) in the cavity and prevent axial movement of the adapter sleeve (40) out of the cavity. The tightening of the retaining nut (60) to the main faucet body (12) applies pressure to the adapter sleeve (40) that compresses the star lock washer (30), which prevents rotation of the main faucet body (12) relative to the adapter sleeve (40) and the riser (20). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for measuring the 3D surface ( 15 ) of an object ( 14 ) in order to describe its form digitally. The object is pressed down on a membrane ( 6 ) so as to make an imprint to be transferred to a medium ( 4 ) below. Said medium can at the same time be exposed to a pressure for controlling the submerging therein. The imprint under the object ( 14 ) is scanned from below, through the medium ( 4 ), and particularly the transparency of the medium is registered in each scanning point to give a base for estimating the height up to the imprint and thereby the third dimension (z) of the surface ( 15 ). The pressure applied to a medium ( 4 ) can as an example be useful by the production of foot beds when said object ( 14 ) is a foot, together with a scanning result of an imprint where the imprint is made by an even pressure distribution at the downward-facing surface.
