Water Saving Motion Activated Showerhead Device
A water saving motion activated showerhead device for saving water and energy and providing entertainment includes a housing, which is attachable to an inlet pipe of a shower enclosure so that a spray is generated by holes positioned in a front of the housing. A sensor detects motion in the shower enclosure in an area upon which the spray is directed and signals a valve to control a flow of water through the housing. A receiver receives an audio signal from an electronic device of a user and relays the audio signal to a speaker attached to the housing for broadcast. A heating module in the housing selectively heats the water that passes through the housing.
Lighting shower
A lighting shower includes a body, a lighting device, a control module, and a hydraulic power generating device. The body has a first portion and a second portion facing opposite directions and includes an inlet tube and an outlet cover plate disposed on the second portion. The lighting device includes a transparent cover disposed on the first portion and a light-emitting element disposed in the transparent cover. The control module includes a storage battery and a controller electrically connected to the light-emitting element and adapted to control the light-emitting element to turn on or turn off. The water flows into a first chamber of the body from the inlet tube and through the hydraulic power generating device out from the outlet cover plate. The hydraulic power generating device is electrically connected to the control module to output an electrical energy to the storage battery for storage for providing an electricity required by the lighting device.
SHOWER SYSTEM
Described are embodiments of a shower assembly that includes modular components that can be removably attached and may be replaced or interchanged with corresponding components having different form factor or design. In some embodiments, the shower assembly includes a diverter unit fluidly coupled to a fluid source and the diverter unit is configured to selectively direct flow of fluid from the fluid source to one or both of a shower head and a hand shower. The shower head includes a first plurality of nozzles configured to dispense fluid and the shower head is configured to be removably fluidly coupled to the diverter unit. The hand shower includes a second plurality of nozzles configured to dispense fluid and fluidly coupled by a hose to the diverter unit and the hand shower is configured to be removably attachable to the diverter unit by a connector.
Linearly actuated pause assembly for showerheads
A showerhead including a housing defining a plurality of nozzles and an inlet and having a water control assembly is disclosed. The water control assembly may be positioned at least partially within the housing between the plurality of nozzles and the inlet to control water flow from the inlet to the plurality of nozzles. The water control assembly including an actuator linearly movable along a length of the housing, a valve operably coupled to the actuator that rotates from a first position allowing fluid flow from the inlet to reach the nozzles to a second position reducing fluid flow from the inlet to the nozzles, and a valve driver coupled between the actuator and the valve, where the valve driver converts the linear motion of the actuator into a rotational movement of the valve.
Water outlet device and driving mechanism for water outlet device
The present disclosure discloses a water outlet device comprising a body. The body comprises a driving mechanism, a switching mechanism, and a plurality of water outlet parts. The switching mechanism is coupled with the plurality of water outlet parts to control switching of the plurality of water outlet parts. The driving mechanism comprises an operating member and a directional control mechanism. The operating member is movably connected to the body, and the operating member is connected to the directional control mechanism. Bidirectional movements of the operating member respectively controls the directional control mechanism to move in a single direction. The directional control mechanism is connected to the switching mechanism and configured to drive the switching mechanism to control switching of the plurality of water outlet parts.
HAND-HELD SHOWER HEAD
A hand-held shower head includes a fixing element, a rotating element and a first spring. The fixing element is provided with a water inlet channel and a first water outlet channel for flushing water. The rotating element is rotatably connected with the fixing element and is provided with a water passage and a second water outlet channel for spraying water. The first spring is disposed between the fixing element and the rotating element. When the rotating element rotates to a first position, the water passage communicates with the water inlet channel and the first water outlet channel, and the first spring is elastically deformed. When the rotating element is released from the first position, the first spring elastically recovers to drive the rotating element to rotate to a second position, and the second water outlet channel communicates with the water inlet channel.
Shower with adjustable water spray
A shower with an adjustable water spray comprises a body portion and an adjusting member. The body portion comprises a water inlet passage and a plurality of water outlet nozzles. The adjusting member comprises a plurality of adjusting portions, and an outer side of each of plurality of adjusting portions comprises a plurality of adjusting grooves extending longitudinally. A size of each of the plurality of adjusting grooves gradually reduces in a downward direction. An inner wall of each of the plurality of water outlet nozzles comprises a sealing portion, and each of plurality of adjusting portion extends into a corresponding one of the plurality of water outlet nozzles and hermetically and movably cooperates with a corresponding one of the sealing portions. The plurality of adjusting grooves of each of the plurality of adjusting portions and a corresponding one of the sealing portions defines an adjustable water outlet hole.
LOW PROFILE TRANSCATHETER HEART VALVE
An implantable prosthetic valve includes a radially collapsible and expandable annular frame having three commissure attachment posts and four rows of circumferential struts. The rows include a first row, a second row downstream of the first row, a third row downstream of the second row, and a fourth row downstream of the third row and defining an outflow end of the frame. Each row of circumferential struts includes angled struts arranged in a zig-zag pattern. A leaflet structure includes three leaflets forming three commissures, each commissure being connected to one of the commissure attachment posts only at locations along the commissure attachment posts between a first plane that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the frame and intersects crowns of the third row of struts and a second plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and intersects crowns of the fourth row of struts.
