Abstract

A motion interrupting water saving faucet valve helps users improve their water efficiency. This is achieved through the use of a soft stop that limits the flow rate of water through a faucet by interrupting the motion of the valve that controls the fluid flow. As a result, there will be multiple different flow rates a user can achieve depending on the needs of a given application. A lower flow rate is the result of the soft stop being engaged through the use of a detent mechanism. The higher rate is the maximum flow rate of a faucet and is easily achieved by a user overriding the soft stop. These different flow rates allow a user to reduce their water consumption because they can now choose between using half or full flow through any given faucet.
