Abstract
Generally disclosed herein are unique mechanical elements implemented in a system and method to convert authentic hand water pumps into functioning water faucets or fabricate the functioning water faucet to simulate an authentic hand water pump. The operating principles and feel of a typical lever faucet have been replicated on the hand pump through use of a cartridge valve connected to a coupling clevis. The pump handle can be lifted up to turn water on and control the flow rate and can simultaneously be partially rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to select water temperature.
