Abstract
A faucet includes a body having an inlet, an inlet passageway connected to the inlet and outlet passageway that intersects the inlet passageway. The outlet passageway terminates at an outlet. A push-button actuator has a biasing portion that is located in the outlet passageway and a button portion that projects outwardly through an opening defined in the body. The button portion is normally biased into a first, extended position by the biasing portion and is selectively manually moveable to a second, operative position. A seal member is provided and is adapted to engage and seal the inlet to the inlet passageway. A stem projects from the seal member and is operably coupled to the button portion of the push-button actuator. The seal member is normally biased into sealing engagement with the inlet the by the biasing portion of the push-button actuator. The seal member is moveable out of sealing engagement with the inlet when the button portion of the push-button actuator is moved to its second, operative position.
