Shower head with a toroidal pulsator and a magnetic ring
The invention relates to a shower arm with a torus regulator and a magnetic ring that is comprised of a body (1) with a body head (25), a bell (2), a cover (3), a torus (4), a mixing element (5), a ring (6), a pin (7) and a barrier (9) on the cover, a barrier (8) and a nozzle (10) on the bell, a cavity (11) for water inlet, an inlet (12) of water into the shower head (25), a space (13), a gap (14) on the mixing element, a chamber (15), gaskets (16) and (17), a thread (18), a space (19) for directed flow, pins (20) and a groove (21) on the ring, a groove (22) on the bell, a thread (23) for connecting a hose, a support surface (24), a magnetic ring (26) and an output spray (27) of water and air. When the water circulates within the space (19) underneath the torus (4), negative pressurevacuum occurs from both the internal and the external sides of the torus cross-section that conditions suction of the air from the chamber (15) of the cone of the bell (2). This air is suctioned through the nozzle (10). In the space below the mixing element (5) the air and the water swirl which alternately enter into the air/water mixture and form a wide conical spray (27). The bell is provided with the groove (22), into which the ring (6) with pins (20) is tightly inserted. The pins are made from a soft material and serve for mechanical massage of the skin and the crown of the hair. On the other side in the ring there is the groove (21), into which the magnetic ring (26) is inserted. Its role is to normalize the water crystals and to arrange them into a natural shape. The nozzle (10) for spray outlet has an orifice large enough in order not to clog due to impurities in the water and limescale.
DEVICE FOR GENERATING PULSATILE FLOW OR INTERMITTENT FLOW
The present invention provides a device that can generate a pulsatile flow or intermittent flow from a continuously flowing of the water tap by pressure of the water tap without using an electrical activation part. The device for generating a pulsatile fluid or intermittent fluid comprises an injection mechanism 110 for injecting fluid, which is a liquid or gas; an air cavity 120 which includes an airtight space, a draining portion 150 disposed in the lower part; an air intake ventilation hole 141 connected to the ventilation pass 140. The injection point of the injection mechanism 110 is around the air intake ventilation hole 141, and the injected flow is formed so that a part of the injected flow runs downward for covering the surface of the side wall in which the air intake ventilation hole 141 is included. The air intake ventilation hole 141 is partially covered or brushed by the running flow, so the fluctuation rhythm of the air blow is generated, wherein the temporary air pressure decrease in the air cavity 120 given by the downward flowing of the injected flow and temporary air pressure recovery in the air cavity 120 given by the air blowing form the outer air are repeatedly. Therefore, the pulsatile flow or the intermittent flow is generated.
Foam generating device for a high-pressure water gun
A foam generating device for a high-pressure water gun has a supporting body defining part of a conduit, which extends along an axis and has a mixing chamber communicating with a lower inlet, and subject, in use, to a vacuum to aspirate a liquid from said lower inlet; the device has a first sleeve which is fitted around one end of the supporting body, is axially fixed, is rotatable and is provided with an end portion carrying a nozzle; such a nozzle defines the outlet of the conduit and is adjustable so as to vary the outgoing flow type between a fan-like jet and a solid stream jet; the device has, in addition, a second sleeve which is coupled to the first sleeve in a fixed axial position and in a rotatable manner and is provided with cams to adjust the nozzle in response to a rotation of the second sleeve with respect to the first sleeve.
Sanitary outlet insert
A sanitary outlet insert which can be mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting, comprising a flow limiter that has an adjusting element which regulates or limits the flow area in cooperation with a counter element. The flow area of the flow limiter can be preselected or varied by an axial change of the relative position of the adjusting element and the counter element; in that additionally a handle is provided on the outlet end face of the outlet insert, said handle being designed as a pushbutton; and in that an adjusting movement on the handle can be converted into a relative axial movement of the adjusting element and the counter element by means of a pushbutton mechanism.
Double-Acting Tamper-Resistant Aerator and Aerator System
A tamper-resistant aerator including an aerator cartridge, an insert defining at least one removal slot, and a locking ring defining at least one removal slot at least partially disposed within a housing is disclosed. The locking ring rotates with respect to the housing to allow alignment of the removal slot of the locking ring with the removal slot of the insert. Alignment of the slots form a continuous passageway through the locking ring and into the insert. Alternatively, a plurality of removal slots may be provided. A mating engagement between the locking ring and the housing secures the locking ring within the housing while still allowing it to rotate with respect to the housing. An aerator system is also provided comprising an aerator as described above and a tool adapted to be received in the continuous passageway formed by the alignment of the slots and engage the insert.
Handheld shower unit with water outlet state switched through a key
A handheld shower unit with the water outlet state switched through a key, comprises a water outlet assembly mounted at one end of a housing and provided with water outlet channels, a water inlet pipe communicates with the water outlet channels through a switching valve which comprises a valve body, the key, a transmission swing rod, a sliding rod, a reset spring, a driving disc, a driving shaft, a ratchet wheel, a pawl, and a water distribution pan which is provided with water distribution holes corresponding to different water inlets; the key is pressed which rotates the transmission swing rod, which pushes the sliding rod, which rotates the driving disc so that the pawl hinged to the driving disc can drive the ratchet wheel to rotate, which then drives the driving shaft and the water distribution pan to rotate. Single-hand operation, high switching speed and high reliability can be achieved.
WATER JET FOR A SHOWERHEAD
The present invention provides a showerhead, and a water jet for a showerhead, that is specifically configured to aerate at least some of the water passing through the showerhead. This is achieved by a water jet configuration that may require less precision in manufacturing tolerances and may be a more cost-effective solution for producing a softer flow of water compared to prior art arrangements. The invention has particular application for handheld showerheads which have multiple spray arrays.
SWITCHING VALVE SPOOL AND A SHOWER
A switching valve spool has a fixed shaft and a switching shaft coaxially arranged within. The switching shaft is linked with an operating unit and moves between a first, second, and third position in the fixed shaft along the axis. The switching shaft has an inlet and an outlet. In the first position of the switching shaft, the inlet is closed; in the second position of the switching shaft, the inlet is open and an air intake is formed between the side wall of the switching shaft closing to the outlet and the fixed shaft, when the water flows into the fixed shaft from the outlet, the air sucked from the air intake mixes with the water in the fixed shaft, because the fixed shaft diameter is larger than the outlet diameter; in the third position of the switching shaft, the inlet remains open and the air intake is closed.
