Variable flow rate hand showers and showerheads
A shower device includes an elongated hollow waterway, a spray head configured to emit water, and a valve. The elongated hollow waterway extends in a longitudinal direction and has a first end configured to receive water, a second end, and an internal fluid passage extending from the first end to the second end. The second end has a port extending in a radial direction from the internal fluid passage through the waterway. The valve is configured to control a water flow rate from the internal fluid passage of the waterway to the spray head. The valve includes a valve body that surrounds the port and a control member operatively coupled to the valve body and surrounding at least a portion of the valve body. Rotation of the control member and valve body relative to the waterway provides a variable adjustment of the water flow rate to the spray head.

Water conservation apparatus
In one aspect, a water conservation apparatus is provided that includes a diverter having an inlet for being connected to a water supply, a primary outlet, and a secondary outlet. The apparatus includes an elongate water storage tank and a supply conduit configured to connect the secondary outlet of the diverter to the water storage tank. The elongate water storage tank has a height and a width perpendicular to the height that is less than the height so that the water from the secondary outlet of the diverter forms a column within the tank. The apparatus further includes a tap having an outlet and a valve, the valve having a closed position that inhibits water flow from the water tank to the outlet and an open position that permits water to be driven out of the outlet by the column of water in the tank.
Automatic system for providing full body shower to a user
An automatic system for providing full body shower with round the body cleaning to a user is illustrated. The automatic system includes a solid supporting unit with horizontal and vertical frames. A primary cleaning unit and a secondary cleaning unit are provided for the cleaning of the head portion and the body surface of a user. The first horizontal frame and the secondary cleaning unit are configured with vertical upward and downward movement along the vertical frame using an elevating means. Each of the primary and secondary cleaning units comprises a plurality of nozzles, brushes and ultraviolet (UV) light sources. An air dryer chamber propelling dry air for drying the wet body and head portion of the user is utilized. The automatic shower system can also be used in the horizontal orientation.
BABY BATH CHAIR
The present invention discloses a baby bath chair, including a seat, a backrest, and a dish tray. The backrest is hinged with a back end of the seat. The backrest can be adjustably rotated in multiple stages forwards and rearwards. A left-side middle portion and a right-side middle portion of the seat are formed with a left convex portion and a right convex portion, respectively. A back end of the dish tray is formed backward with a left connecting portion and a right connecting portion. The left connecting portion and the right connecting portion are detachably connected to the left convex portion and the right convex portion, respectively. The left connecting portion and the right connecting portion can be rotated around the left convex portion and the right convex portion, respectively. A top surface of the seat is provided with a drainage hole. The present invention can be used as a bath chair or as a dining chair. The backrest can be adjusted in multiple stages to adapt to different dining spaces or bathing angles of a baby. The dish tray can be rotated around the left convex portion or the right convex portion. When the baby needs to enter the seat, the dish tray can be rotated around the left convex portion or the right convex portion, so that the baby can enter the seat from a front side of the seat conveniently.
NESTABLE AND DRAINABLE SHOWER NICHE INSERT SYSTEM
The nestable and drainable shower niche insert system inserts vertically and is retained within a shower stall. The system includes a water-tight pan having outwardly sloped walls, to insert and retain within and against the shower stall, and a nest pan retained within the water-tight pan. The nest pan has at least one horizontal wall adjacent one of the outwardly sloped walls, to guide and drain liquid running off the horizontal wall into the shower stall.
