ARTICULATING SHOWER ASSEMBLY
An articulating shower assembly in provided. The articulating shower assembly includes a linkage assembly operable between a first position and a second position. A spray head is coupled to the linkage assembly and is operable between the first position and the second position. A handle is pivotally coupled to the linkage assembly such that the linkage assembly is configured to transition between the first position and the second position in response to a force applied to the handle. In some embodiments, the linkage assembly includes a first link arm, a second link arm, and a pivot body, where the pivot body is fluidly coupled to the spray head. The first link arm may be rigid while the second link arm is structured to extend and collapse as the linkage assembly transitions between the first position and the second position.
CEILING MOUNTED KITCHEN FAUCET
A faucet system includes a housing assembly configured to be coupled to a ceiling structure, wherein the housing includes a mixing valve disposed therein. The faucet system further includes a hose assembly coupled to the housing assembly. The hose assembly includes a flexible hose being fluidly coupled to the mixing valve and configured to hang below the housing assembly, a rotatable arm coupled to the housing assembly, and a control knob communicably coupled to the mixing valve. The rotatable arm is configured to facilitate rotation and adjustment of the hose and the control knob configured to control at least one of a temperature or a flow of water within the faucet system.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL SHOWER DEVICE FOR TOP SPRAY AND HANDHELD
A multifunctional shower device for top spraying and hand holding is disclosed. The top of the shower is provided with a water inlet, and the bottom of the shower is provided with a water outlet panel. One end of the shower hose is connected with a water inlet pipe joint, and the other end of the shower hose is connected with the water inlet on the top of the shower. The shower hose and the movable pulley are placed in the storage shell. Half of the weight of the movable pulley is greater than the weight of the shower. The movable pulley falls naturally under the action of gravity, and the movable pulley drives the shower hose to be stored in the storage shell in a U shape. The bracket is fixed on the storage shell and the shower seat is arranged on the bracket.
Low profile transcatheter heart valve
A method of crimping an implantable prosthetic valve can include placing protective material over at least a portion of the implantable prosthetic valve. The protective material can be configured to occupy space between open cells of a frame of the implantable prosthetic valve to prevent damage to a leaflet structure of the implantable prosthetic valve. The method can also include crimping the implantable prosthetic valve with the protective material on the implantable prosthetic valve, and removing the protective material from between the frame and the leaflet structure of the implantable prosthetic valve.
Anti-slip shower system
An anti-slip shower system includes a water passage assembly and a water outlet pipe assembly movably arranged on the water passage assembly. The water outlet pipe assembly includes an adjustment male part which can limit movement of the water outlet pipe assembly on the water passage assembly. The water passage assembly includes a water passage cavity and an insertion channel, the water passage cavity and the insertion channel are arranged at an interval, and a movement channel is arranged between the insertion channel and the water passage cavity. The movement channel is internally provided with a piston, when the piston and the adjustment male part are away from the water outlet pipe assembly, the water outlet pipe assembly is movable on the water passage assembly, when the piston and/or the adjustment male part presses against the water outlet pipe assembly, the water outlet pipe assembly is stably fixed.
LOW PROFILE TRANSCATHETER HEART VALVE
An implantable prosthetic valve includes a radially collapsible and expandable annular frame having three commissure attachment portions and at least three rows of angled struts. The rows include a first row, a second row downstream of the first row, and a third row downstream of the second row. Each row of struts includes angled struts arranged in a zig-zag pattern defining a plurality of crowns. A leaflet structure includes three leaflets forming three commissures, each commissure being connected to one of the commissure attachment portions via sutures extending through apertures in the commissure attachment portions, wherein all of the apertures are located along the length of the frame between a first plane defined by the crowns of the second row of struts and a second plane defined by the crowns of the third row of struts.
Low profile transcatheter heart valve
A prosthetic heart valve comprises a radially collapsible and expandable annular frame and a leaflet structure comprising three leaflets. Each leaflet has an upper edge portion, a curved lower edge portion and two side flaps, wherein each side flap is connected to an adjacent side flap of another leaflet to form commissures of the leaflet structure, with each commissure being attached to the frame. An annular inner sleeve comprises three U-shaped portions positioned along the curved lower edge portions of the leaflets. An annular outer sleeve extends around are outer surface of the frame, wherein the outer sleeve is made of pericardium. The frame is made of Nitinol and the prosthetic valve can be radially crimped to a radially collapsed configuration inside a sheath for delivery into a patient's body and self-expand to a radially expanded configuration when released from the sheath inside the patient's body.
Showerhead with pin plate
A spray head includes a front cover, a spray plate, and an actuator. The front cover includes a plurality of exit openings. The spray plate is oriented substantially parallel to the front cover. The spray plate includes a pin that is aligned with at least one exit opening of the plurality of exit openings. The pin is configured to selectively engage with the at least one exit opening to control a flow of water through the at least one exit opening. The actuator is coupled to the spray plate and is configured to reposition the spray plate relative to the front cover based on user input.
ADJUSTABLE SHOWERHEAD SUPPORT SYSTEM
An adjustable showerhead support system capable of being attached to a shower chair. The showerhead support system has a showerhead support assembly operated by a showerhead support track lever allowing a user to move a showerhead forwards and backwards. The showerhead support assembly also has a telescoping bracket and telescoping legs to allow a user to adjust the height of the showerhead. The showerhead support system also includes a back track assembly operated by a back track lever that allows the user to move the showerhead left and right. The showerhead support system also includes a counterbalance.
LOW PROFILE TRANSCATHETER HEART VALVE
An implantable prosthetic valve includes a radially collapsible and expandable annular frame having three commissure attachment portions and at least three rows of angled struts. The rows include a first row, a second row downstream of the first row, and a third row downstream of the second row.
