Bathtub cleaner assembly
A bathtub cleaner assembly includes a cleaner that has a handle portion extending upwardly from a reservoir portion that contains a fluid cleaning solution. A first scrubbing unit is coupled to the reservoir portion of the cleaner to engage a basal wall of the bathtub when the cleaner is positioned in the bathtub. The first scrubbing unit rotates when the first scrubbing unit is turned on to scrub the basal wall of the bathtub. A pair of second scrubbing units is each movably integrated into the reservoir portion of the cleaner to scrub a respective lateral wall of the bathtub when the cleaner is positioned in the bathtub. A spray unit is integrated into the cleaner to spray the fluid cleaning solution onto the first scrubbing unit and the second scrubbing units.
BATHING INSTALLATION USER INTERFACE PANEL WITH LARGE ACTIVE DISPLAY AREA
An exemplary embodiment of a user interface display panel includes a top or cover glass layer which extends to the perimeter of the panel housing. A touch-sensitive display layer is adhered to the bottom surface of cover glass layer to form a touch sensitive display assembly and is just smaller in area than that of the cover glass layer to provide a peripheral lip region for adherence to a waterproof gasket to bond the cover glass and display layer to the housing structure. The display layer is supported above the surface of the tub wall. The arrangement results in an active touch-sensitive display area significantly larger than display areas provided in the past by interface panels.
Intelligent drainage device
An intelligent drainage device includes a power supply unit, a water discharge key, drain assemblies, a motor drive unit and a control unit. The drain assembly, installed to a bathtub drain hole, includes a waterstop member, a stepping motor and a receiving tube. The receiving tube engages fixedly and oppositely the waterstop member and a power transmission shaft of the stepping motor. The control unit receives a start/stop signal from the water discharge key, then transmits the signal to the motor drive unit for controlling the power transmission shaft to drive the corresponding waterstop member to move upward or downward. In this device, with a simple touch at the water discharge key, the control unit would control the motor drive unit to activate the stepping motors so as to have all the drain assemblies at the respective drain holes to discharge simultaneously and rapidly the water inside a bathtub.
Step stool and method of use
A bed step stool for assisting a user into and out of bed comprises a first support to be disposed closer to a head of the bed; a second support to be disposed closer to a foot of the bed; a step assembly supported between the first support and the second support; a ramp coupled to the step assembly; the step assembly to enable the user to step thereon for assisting the user into and out of the bed, wherein the first support and the second support define an unobstructed pathway for entry and exit with respect to the bed and the bed step stool that is perpendicular with respect to the sides of the bed whereby the user goes between the first support and the second support, up the ramp, onto the step assembly, and off the step assembly without any obstruction.
Bathtub
There is provided a bathtub, including: a bottom surface part; a side surface part surrounding the bottom surface part, extending upward from the bottom surface part, and including a backrest part; a pillow part provided to be movable vertically over a prescribed range along the backrest part; and a water discharger mounted to the pillow part, the water discharger being provided to be movable vertically along the backrest part with the pillow part.
AROMATIC FOG GENERATOR FOR BATHING ENVIRONMENTS
A well support assembly for a fragrance dispenser includes an upper cover including a plurality of chambers, a well support engaged with the upper cover proximate to the plurality of chambers, and a plurality of wells engaged with the well support. Each of the plurality of wells extends into a respective one of the plurality of chambers and is configured to receive a fragrance therein.
Sink top accessory
An accessory item for a sink top is configured to increase the working surface area surrounding the sink. The sink top accessory includes multiple panels preferably made from silicone rubber, each panel having a rigid integrated frame structure. The panels are connected to each other using living hinges, which enable the accessory to be folded for storage. In use, the sink top accessory sits over the sink without obstructing use of the sink faucet, and operates to turn a large portion of the sink into usable work space by operating to extend the counter area around the sink into the sink, thus increasing the working surface area of the same.
TOPSIDE CONTROL PANEL AND TOPSIDE CONTROL PANEL SYSTEM FOR A BATHING UNIT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME
A topside control panel is described for controlling water features in a bathing unit system. The topside control panel comprises a housing having a generally circular housing portion including a display screen and a manually operable actuator positioned about a periphery of the housing portion. A circuit board assembly is positioned in the housing and includes one or more processors programmed for rendering a multi-layer menu driven interface on the display for controlling at least some water features of the bathing unit system, wherein at least one specific menu layer of the multi-layer menu driven interface presents options for controlling the one or more pumps. Navigation through the multi-layer menu driven interface is permitted by using signals triggered at least in part by a combination of displacements of the manually operable actuator to select specific user-selectable options to arrive at the specific menu layer presenting options for controlling the one or more pumps.
