Handwashing system
A handwashing valve structure includes a mounting structure, a dispensing structure, and a control structure. The mounting structure is configured to attach to a liquid vessel. The dispensing structure is configured to dispense a liquid from the liquid vessel and is movable between a closed position and an open position. The control structure is configured to move the dispensing structure between the closed position and the open position. The control structure is configured to be moved by pressure from a portion of a user's body to move the dispensing structure from the closed position to the open position. The dispensing structure is configured to automatically move from the open position to the closed position in the absence of any pressure from the portion of the user's body onto the control structure.
Faucet-less sink assembly
A faucet-less sink assembly for hands-free use of a sink includes a sink bowl that is mounted to a wall of a bathroom. The sink bowl has a plurality of low pressure ports and a high pressure point each being integrated therein. A pumping unit is in fluid communication with each of the low pressure ports and the high pressure port. The pumping unit pumps a fluid into the low pressure ports to facilitate a user to wash their hands and the high pressure port for washing a personal hygiene tool. A temperature control pedal is positioned on a floor beneath the sink bowl for spraying the fluid from the low pressure ports. A high pressure pedal is positioned on the floor beneath the sink bowl for spraying fluid from the high pressure port.
CONTROLLER
A controller is provided for use in a wet environment such as an ablutionary setting. The controller includes a base member, an input member, a seal extending between the input member and the base member, and a sealed internal volume defined at least partially by the base member, the input member, and the seal. The input member is moveable relative to the base member between a neutral position and a control position. The seal biases the input member towards the neutral position.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLUID HANDLING IN A SHOWER OR BATH
Showerhead devices incorporate sensors to control bath fill levels. Showerheads have interchangeable attachments, including bristle attachments. Oral care devices are attachable to standard shower arms. Pump devices allow various lotions and fluids to be used in conjunction with showers. Shower organizing devices provide for ordered storage and access to accessories. Bathtub spouts including sensors and valves to control bathtub filled levels.

WATER SUPPLY CONTROL DEVICE
A water supply control device includes a valve casing, a piston, an actuator and a resilient member. The valve casing has an inside space defining a passage hole connected between valve inlet and outlet thereof. The piston includes an actuated portion partially exposed from the inside space to be actuated by the actuator, a valve plug portion opposite to the actuated portion and disposed movably in the passage hole to be urged by the resilient member, and a diaphragm member disposed between the actuated portion and the valve plug portion and extending across the inside space. The diaphragm member prevents water from flowing to the actuated portion of the piston from the passage hole.
Remote control water outlet device
A remote control water outlet device comprises a faucet and a control assembly. The faucet is connected to one or more water inlet pipes and a water outlet pipe assembly, and the control assembly is separated from the faucet by a distance. The control assembly controls the water outlet pipe assembly to be opened and to be closed. The water outlet pipe assembly comprises a water inlet passage and a water outlet passage in communication with the control assembly. The control assembly comprises a pressure relief cavity in communication with the water inlet passage and a sealing gasket configured to abut and block inlets of the water outlet passage due to being subjected to water pressure in the pressure relief cavity. The sealing gasket comprises a control hole configured to be opened to enable the pressure relief cavity be in communication with the water inlet passage.
FLUID-DISPENSING SYSTEMS AND METHODS RELATED THERETO
Fluid-dispensing systems and methods relating thereto are described. A method of dispensing fluid includes: (i) receiving, from a temperature encoder, a temperature signal; (ii) receiving, from a flow rate encoder, a flow rate signal; (iii) providing, based on the temperature signal and the flow rate signal, a first amount of power required by a first motor; (iv) providing, based on the temperature signal and the flow rate signal, a second amount of power required by a second motor; (v) opening, based on the first amount of power, the first valve by a first amount of valve opening; (vi) opening, based on the second amount of power, the second valve by a second amount of valve opening; and (vii) facilitating admixing of a first fluid flow at a first fluid flow rate, received from the first valve, and a second fluid flow at a second fluid flow rate, received from the second valve, to create an admixed fluid stream.
REMOTE FLUID FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD
A remote fluid flow control system for controlling water flow to a faucet comprises a remote stand-alone foot pedal; and a main unit in wireless communication with the stand-alone foot pedal, wherein water flow to the faucet is controlled by the main unit in response.
