Abstract: A faucet includes a base and a valve cartridge disposed in the base. The valve cartridge can control a flow of water. The faucet includes a structure that supports the valve cartridge. The structure includes a mount having a first protrusion, a second protrusion, and a smooth portion that extends between the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The structure includes a lock plate that detachably couples to the mount. The lock plate can engage the first protrusion in a first rotational position to secure the lock plate relative to the first protrusion. The lock plate can slide along the smooth portion in a second rotational position.

Abstract: A sensor assembly for controlling a flow of water through a faucet includes a shank and a head. The shank is configured to pass through an aperture in a wall and terminates at a flange at a first end of the shank. The head is configured to be coupled to the shank. The head includes a base, a top portion, and circuitry. The base has a first side configured to be supported by a first side of the wall and a second side configured to interface with a first side of the flange. The base includes an opening configured to receive the flange and a hole configured to receive a portion of the shank. The circuitry is configured to be positioned between the cover and a second side of the flange opposite the first side of the flange. The circuitry interfaces with the second side of the flange.

Abstract: A sensor assembly for controlling a solenoid valve, the solenoid valve controlling the flow of water through a faucet, is described. The sensor assembly includes a head including a bottom portion configured to be supported by a wall and a top portion. The sensor assembly also includes a proximity sensor including a transmitter and receiver. The transmitter projects a beam into a detection zone. The sensor assembly also includes processing electronics configured to cause the solenoid valve to open in response to a receiver detecting a reflection from an object in the detection zone.

Abstract: A faucet includes a valve cartridge configured to control a flow of water and a structure that supports the valve cartridge. The structure includes a mount having a concave portion and a smooth portion positioned adjacent to the concave portion. The structure includes a lock plate that detachably couples to the mount, in which the lock plate has a convex portion. The convex portion of the lock plate interfaces with the concave portion of the mount in a first rotational position to secure the lock plate relative to the mount. The lock plate slides along the smooth portion in a second rotational position.
