The present invention provides a shower diverter for selectively connecting a single water source between at least two outlets. The shower diverter comprises a housing having an internal chamber, a water inlet port in fluid communication with the internal chamber and coupled to a water supply port, a first outlet port in fluid communication with the internal chamber; and a second outlet port in fluid communication with the internal chamber. The valve assembly is selectively actuated by a push button to move the valve assembly within the chamber between one of four positions.

A push button switching spool includes a switching body. The switching body includes a housing, a water inlet and a water outlet, wherein the housing comprises an upper casing and a lower casing with a gap for passing water. A mandrel is disposed in the housing, and the mandrel axially moved within the housing. The mandrel comprises a plurality of grooves with sealing rings. And, a left protrusion and a right protrusion are formed on each groove, wherein a diameter of the left protrusion is the same as a diameter of the right protrusion. The push button switching spool can normally switch water paths at high water pressure.

An adapter for a pool cleaning system is provided. The adapter includes a base member having a top and a bottom surface. The adapter also includes six upper ports coupled to the top surface of the base member, each upper port including an upper aperture extending through the upper port and through the base member. The adapter further includes five lower ports coupled to the bottom surface of the base member, each lower port including a lower aperture extending through the lower port and through the base member. In some embodiments, four of lower ports are in fluid communication four of the upper ports and one of the lower ports is in fluid communication with two of the upper ports.

A multi-way valve adapted to control a flow of fluid to different thermal fluid circuits includes a valve housing, a valve flow controller, and a sealing system. The valve flow controller is arranged in the valve housing to control flow through the valve housing. The sealing system is configured to seal between the valve housing and the valve flow controller.

The variable compression ratio mechanism 1, 1 comprises: a connecting rod 20 provided with a crank receiving opening 23; an eccentric member 30, 30 provided with a piston pin receiving opening 36 and attached to the connecting rod to be able to turn so as to change a length between a center axial line of the piston pin receiving opening and a center axial line of the crank receiving opening; a swing member 40, 50, 40 attached to the connecting rod to be able to swing and able to engage with the eccentric member; and an actuating member 60, 60 swinging the swing member from an initial position toward a stop position. The swing member engages with the eccentric member to turn the eccentric member when swinging from the initial position toward the stop position, and returns from the stop position to the initial position when disengaged form the eccentric member.

A valve actuation device for actuating a valve, such as a sanitary valve, in an axial actuation movement for a first valve function, illustratively a shut-off function, and in a rotary actuation movement for a second valve function, illustratively a quantity regulation or mixing function, and to a sanitary valve equipped with such a valve actuation device.

A ceramic valve core assembly including a movable valve plate which is rotatable and slidably attached on a fixed valve plate, the fixed valve plate has a first cold water inlet, a first hot water inlet, and a first water outlet. The movable valve plate has a first water inlet and a second water outlet in communication with the first water outlet. The first water inlet includes a filter mounting cavity and a water mixing cavity in communication with each another. By rotating the movable valve plate, the first cold water inlet, the first hot water inlet, or both the first cold water inlet and the first hot water inlet establish communication with the water mixing cavity. A lower edge of the second water outlet contacts an upper edge of the first water outlet. Thus, by moving the movable valve plate, a water passage is established.

An adapter for a pool cleaning system is provided. The adapter includes a base member having a top and a bottom surface. The adapter also includes six upper ports coupled to the top surface of the base member, each upper port including an upper aperture extending through the upper port and through the base member. The adapter further includes five lower ports coupled to the bottom surface of the base member, each lower port including a lower aperture extending through the lower port and through the base member. In some embodiments, four of lower ports are in fluid communication four of the upper ports and one of the lower ports is in fluid communication with two of the upper ports.

A fluid switch-over device of the type that may be used in sanitary shower devices, the fluid switch-over device including a housing body which includes a fluid inlet channel and a plurality of fluid outlet channels arranged fluidically in parallel, a switch-over body which includes a fluid inlet, at least one fluid outlet and a fluid duct from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet and is disposed within the housing body to be translationally movable axially parallel and rotationally movable in a combined manner in relation to a longitudinal axis between at least two different operating positions. The switch-over body in each of the different operating positions is in fluid connection with the fluid inlet channel via its fluid inlet and differentially unblocks or blocks at least partially a fluid connection of its fluid outlet to the respective fluid outlet channel. An actuation unit for actuating the switch-over body includes an operating element disposed on the housing body to be user-operable.

Embodiments of the invention provide a piston assembly for a control valve in a water softener system. The control valve includes a drive mechanism, one or more fluid passageways, and a seal assembly. The piston assembly includes a main piston moveably received within the seal assembly and including a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, and a shuttle piston moveably received within the seal assembly. The shuttle piston includes a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, and is configured to selectively engage the second end of the main piston to form a seal therebetween and to selectively move relative to the second end of the main piston to form an opening between the second end of the main piston and the first end of the shuttle piston, in response to movement of the main piston.
