Abstract:
Disclosed is a flow diverter valve. The valve includes a cylindrical valve body having a top chamber with a first opening, a bottom chamber with a second opening, wherein the bottom chamber is adapted to removably receive an aerator or similar unit for aeration and/or fluid stream shaping of fluid flowing therethrough, and an intermediate channel defining a continuous passageway between the top chamber and the bottom chambers and extending to an outlet configured adjacent to the bottom chamber forming a part of a flow channel (Channel “C”), a nut adapted for connecting the cylindrical valve body to a water outlet, and a piston assembly slidably housed within the intermediate chamber, wherein the piston assembly in an extended position defines a flow channel (Channel “B”) for the fluid to flow therethrough under reduced or restricted pressure or common faucet water flow pressure, and the piston assembly in a retracted position defines the flow channel (Channel “C”) for the fluid to flow therethrough under relatively higher pressure or greater intensity.

Claim (Index 1):
A flow diverter valve  10 , comprising:\n a cylindrical valve body  15  including a top chamber  30  with a first opening  35 , a bottom chamber  50  with a second opening  55 , wherein the bottom chamber  50  is adapted to removably receive an aerator unit  100  or similar apparatus for aeration, flow reduction or water stream shaping of fluid flowing therethrough, and an intermediate channel  58  defining a continuous passageway between the top chamber  30  and the bottom chambers  50  and extending to an outlet  60  configured adjacent to the bottom chamber  50  forming a part of a flow channel (Channel \u201cC\u201d); a nut  20  adapted for connecting the cylindrical valve body  15  to a water outlet; and a piston assembly  40  slidably housed within the intermediate chamber  58 , wherein the piston assembly  40  in an extended position defines a flow channel (Channel \u201cB\u201d) for the fluid to flow therethrough under common faucet water flow, and the piston assembly  40  in a retracted position defines the flow channel (Channel \u201cC\u201d) for the fluid to flow therethrough under relatively higher pressure or greater intensity.
