A shower caddy includes a 4-way diverter for attachment to a shower arm and to divert water received from the shower arm to a circuit of pipes within the shower caddy. The shower caddy further includes a heating circuit within a basin. The basin holds bathing fluids, and the heating circuit transfers heat from water traveling via the circuit of pipes to the bathing fluids within the basin. The shower caddy further includes an additive infuser attached to the circuit of pipes that infuses an additive into the water flowing through the circuit of pipes when the additive infuser is activated by a user. The circuit of pipes is further connected to a showerhead that outputs the water received from the shower arm following it being used for the heating circuit and/or having an additive infused therein.

An atomizing assembly includes a tubing section having an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end of the tubing section is connectable to a liquid storage portion, and the outlet end of the tubing section is in fluid communication with an atomizing nozzle. The tubing section is configured to deliver a flow of liquid aerosol-forming substrate through the atomizing nozzle. The atomizing nozzle includes an air channel configured to establish an air flow through the nozzle. The air flow is mixed with the flow of liquid aerosol-forming substrate.

A device and method for dispensing a liquid with a gas includes an instrument having a cannula and a low-pressure tip. The low-pressure tip includes a tip housing that at least partially defines a high pressure chamber. A distal wall of the tip housing includes an aperture in fluid communication with the high pressure chamber. The low-pressure tip also includes a tube and a gas flow channel. The tube fluidly communicates liquid at a relatively low pressure from the cannula through the first aperture. The gas flow channel fluidly communicates gas from the cannula at a relatively high pressure and to the high pressure chamber for discharge from the aperture. The tube and aperture are adapted to dispense the liquid and the gas in order to create a low pressure zone distal of the tube to dispense droplets of the liquid.

An apparatus for accurately coating discrete patches of coating on a moving substrate is described. The coating system applies coating to a moving substrate using a coating distribution device. A flow pump pumps the coating from a reservoir into the coating distributing device where a portion of the coating is deposited and the remainder is allowed to returned back to the reservoir. The coating distribution device selectively meters a portion of the coating it receives from the flow pump onto the substrate at a variable rate. When the coating distribution device transitions from metering to not metering and to reverse metering, it induces a vacuum in the coating distribution device. The induced vacuum causes a portion of the coating being distributed onto the substrate to flow in reverse quickly breaking the deposition of the coating.

A sprayer system includes a sprayer head, at least two reservoirs, and a gripping portion. The reservoirs hold constituent components of a product. The product is emitted from a nozzle included in the sprayer head. The emission of the product results in the depletion of the components of one of the reservoirs to a greater extent than the remaining at least one reservoir and changes the center of gravity of the sprayer system.

A pressure washer (10) includes a pump (12), a hose (14), a wand (16) and first and second nozzle configurations (18a, 18b). A control (30) is electrically coupled to an electric motor (20) for running the pump (12). The control (30) senses the level of electric current being drawn by the electric motor (20) during operation and, in response, automatically adjusts the level of electric current drawn by the electric motor (20) between at least a first level and a second, different level. This changes the rate of rotation of the motor output (20a) depending on whether the first nozzle configuration (18a) or the second nozzle configuration (18b) is coupled in fluid communication with the wand (16). An electronic display (40) is coupled to the control (30). The control (30) senses the output pressure from the pump (12) and provides an electronic indication to the user on the display (40) to show at least a relative pressure condition.

A container includes a reservoir holding a non-pressurized product. A metering device and valve assembly are within the reservoir. The valve assembly includes a product intake conduit and a spring biased valve stem. The valve stem is at least one of an upwardly extending conduit or reciprocating conduit, which is in fluid communication with the product intake conduit.

According to one aspect of the invention, a method for directing the use of a sprayer includes the step of directing a user to affix a sprayer to a neck of a water bottle (114) via an attachment mechanism (112). The method further includes the step of directing the user to adjust the attachment mechanism (112) to change the internal geometry thereof and attach the sprayer to the neck of the bottle.

A spraying nozzle, intended for spraying a product, defines a passage for the circulation of the product through the nozzle, wherein the passage opens through a wide connection orifice to the outside of the nozzle at an upstream end thereof, and through a narrow spraying orifice at a downstream end of the nozzle in order to spray the product; the passage has, between the connection orifice and the spraying orifice, at least one pre-atomization narrowing capable of atomizing the product, followed by a broadening downstream of the pre-atomization narrowing.

A hand-held aerosolized inhaler that delivers an aerosolized solution to the user on demand when he or she inhales is provided. A pressure or flow sensor within the invention detects the change in air flow as the user inhales and triggers spraying the aerosol solution only when the inhaled breath stream will optimally entrain the sprayed aerosol. The pressure or flow sensor sends an electronic signal to turn on or off liquid and air pumps as the user breathes. Liquid, or liquid and air are pumped to the nozzle inside the invention to create an aerosolized mixture.
