Abstract
An attachment for a standard plumbing outlet is provided, and is applicable as a multipurpose mixing device. A main body has two main passages, one as an inlet and one as an outlet, communicating with a cylindrical chamber. A third, and smaller, outlet also communicates with the cylindrical chamber. A revolvable cylinder is located within the chamber for control of and routing of fluids passing therethrough.

In a device of the class herein described, a main structural body containing provisions at one end for attachment to a standard plumbing outlet, and provisions at the opposite end for attachment of a common shower head, or the like, and having internal passages through both ends communicating with a cylindrical chamber near the center, a revolvable cylinder located within the cylindrical chamber having a main passage, and a double acting seal that, when fluid pressure is applied to the seal from either one of two directions, shall efficiently stop the flow of liquids at that point, a small vertical passage communicating with the cylindrical chamber at one end and a larger vertical passage at the other end, a ball, free to move vertically through the larger vertical passage to a cone formed at, and by, the juncture of the larger and smaller vertical passages, a secondary structural member attached to the main structural body and containing a chamber and having a well within the chamber, wherein a vertical post is located at the center of the well, and directly beneath the larger vertical passage of the main body, a small vertical passage communicating with the chamber and a mixing container, a small lateral passage communicating with the well at one end and opening into a larger lateral outlet passage at its opposite end, a small vertical passage communicating with the container at one end and entering into, but perpendicular to the larger lateral outlet passage.
All of claim one and a revolvable cylinder within a cylindrical chamber, having a main passage and alternate passages perpendicular to the main passage therein, and having when revolved, a full open position, a fully closed position, and reduced volume of flow position, for the control of and the routing of fluids passing therethrough.
