Ablutionary fitting
An ablutionary fitting includes an outlet for providing a stream of water and a dispersing barrier arranged in the stream, such that the liquid passing through the dispersing barrier is broken up into a plurality of smaller streams, forming a spray, wherein the smaller streams are at least in part directed by the dispersing barrier.
LOW BYPASS HIGH TORQUE TURBINE AND STATOR FOR A ROTATING IRRIGATION SPRINKLER
A rotating sprinkler for irrigation is disclosed. The sprinkler can include a stator spaced upstream from a turbine to form a mixing region therebetween. The stator can define a primary flow path and a bypass flow path. The primary flow path is aligned relative to the plurality of blades so that water exiting the primary flow path traverses the mixing region and impinges on the plurality of blades at a first angle of attack. The bypass flow path is aligned relative to the primary flow path so that water exiting the bypass flow path intersects the water exiting the primary flow path in the mixing region to cause the water exiting the primary flow path to impinge on the plurality of blades at a second angle of attack. The sprinkler can further include a valve configured to regulate flow between the primary flow path and the bypass flow path.
WATER OUTLET STRUCTURE ASSEMBLY
A fluid discharging assembly includes a gear set coupled to a first eccentric shaft and a second eccentric shaft oppositely disposed about the gear set, a first slider coupled to the first eccentric shaft such that the first slider rotates with the first eccentric shaft, a second slider coupled to the second eccentric shaft such that the second slider rotates with the second eccentric shaft, a first fluid discharging pipe coupled to the first slider and configured to rotate at a first rotation, and a second fluid discharging pipe coupled to the second slider and configured to rotate at a second rotation that is different from the first rotation.
Showerhead with gear assembly and spinning nozzles
A showerhead assembly is provided which includes a housing having a primary conduit, a front cover with one or more nozzles projecting therefrom, and a gear assembly. The front cover and the housing are affixed so as to form a cavity, wherein the gear assembly is assembled therewithin. The primary conduit is in fluid connection with the gear assembly, which is in fluid connection with the one or more nozzles so as to transport water therethrough. Moreover, a portion of the gear assembly is in toothed engagement with the nozzle(s). In this manner, as water enters the gear assembly, its components rotate and ultimately cause the nozzle(s) to rotate. The nozzles are configured to spray a flat, fan shaped spray of water, and can do so as at the same time as they rotate. As such, the showerhead assembly produces a pinwheel-like, massaging spray pattern. The nozzle can rotate synchronistically.
