20090106891 | Apparatus for Displaying Shower or Bath Water Parameters - The present invention is a display apparatus for affixation to a shower or bath water supply piping or incorporated within a shower, or bath or faucet head, in an aesthetically pleasing format and comprised of fabrication materials e.g., a polymeric or metallic bases with chrome, brass white or colored finishes or combination of these finishes and materials of construction. The display apparatus includes a power generation, CPU or microprocessor, temperature sensor and/or water flow sensors, timing circuits and a display means. The display means can be an analog or digital display or combination of display means. Ergonomically placed buttons can be incorporated into the display means to change parameter units (e.g. metric to US), set alarm conditions (e.g. temperature over set point, time past a set point, flow rate set points). The display means must be able to provide sufficient lighting in shower conditions. In addition, the display means must be able to sustain capability in moist wet conditions. In the embodiment defined by the attached shower display apparatus, know piping joint technology will be used for installation into both new and presently installed shower systems. In the embodiment defined by the display means incorporate into the shower head the shower head/display assembly can also be installed in both new and presently installed shower systems. | 04-30-2009 |
20090293190 | SHOWERHEAD PRESENCE DETECTION SYSTEM - A system for accurately detecting the presence of a person in a shower by combining presence detection technology, such as an infrared sensor in the showerhead, with a mechanical height adjustment of the showerhead, so that the optimal distance between the sensor and showering person can be maintained for persons of different heights. Alternative embodiments include an electronic control unit to provide power consumption management and safety features. When the electronic control unit is combined with presence detection to predict the identity of a showering person, personal services customized for the identified person are provided. An alternate embodiment teaches a process for intelligently conserving water by intelligently blocking water flow at appropriate times, based on predictable behavior of a contemplated showering person. | 12-03-2009 |
20090293191 | SHOWER CURTAIN BODY GUARD - An apparatus for preventing a shower curtain from touching a bather while taking a shower. The apparatus comprises a housing member engageable with a shower wall and having a predetermined shape and formed of a first predetermined material. A retractable cord is disposed within and secured on a first end thereof to the housing member, the retractable cord having a suction cup disposed on a second end of such cord for adherence to an opposite shower wall for preventing such shower curtain from moving inward and touching such bather, such retractable cord being formed of a second predetermined material, and there is a second suction cup disposed on a first end of the housing member for attaching such housing member to such shower wall. | 12-03-2009 |
20100095451 | WATER-SAVING SHOWER HEAD - The shower system includes a shower head, a valve, a fluid line, a receiver and a switch disposed in a floor of the shower system. The valve fluidly connects the shower head to a fluid line, with the valve being operable to control flow of fluid to the shower head; the receiver is operable to control the valve. The switch is operable to transmit a signal to the receiver, such that the actuation of the switch adjusts flow of fluid through the shower head. | 04-22-2010 |
20100138988 | RADIO CONTROLLED SHOWER HEAD - A system for controlling water flow through a shower head includes a shower mat made of resilient material having a transmitter, an electrical power supply, and a switch embedded and hermetically sealed therein. The switch, when activated by a bather, sends a power pulse provided by the power supply to the transmitter, which transmits a control signal in response to each received power pulse. Separate from the shower mat, the system also includes a low-voltage DC power source, a receiver powered by the power source, and control logic which alternately activates and deactivates a driver transistor of a solenoid control circuit in response to the receipt of control signals received by the receiver from the transmitter. A solenoid-controlled valve in line with water flow to the shower head has a control solenoid with an input that is coupled to the low-voltage power source through the driver transistor. | 06-10-2010 |
20100146698 | SHOWER VANITY - A shower vanity for use with a wall having spaced apart framing members. The vanity includes a housing dimensioned to be recessed between two adjacent framing members in the wall and the housing is attached to the framing members by fasteners. The housing includes an open front forming a cavity dimensioned to contain bathing products. Two mirrored doors are slidably mounted to the housing which cover the housing front when closed and provide access to the bathing products when opened. | 06-17-2010 |
20110167556 | Shower reservoir deluge apparatus - A shower apparatus comprises a water inlet directing water into a container that is structurally supported by and connected to the interior of a shower enclosure. The container has one or more hinged joints that connect to structural supports and allow the container to rotate axially. The container includes an automatic water shut off to stop the flow of water from the water inlet when the container is full, a heating element to heat water in the container and a heating element monitor to prevent overheating. The container has both an outside handle to manually pull the container, rotating it axially latitudinally, and a motion sensor and a sensor activated motor to automatically rotate the container. The container is emptied by rotating latitudinally, thereby causing the contents to be released onto the user in a deluge of water. The speed of rotation can be dialed in to vary the intensity of the expression of water. Water temperature is controlled by mixing hot and cold water to the desired ratio. | 07-14-2011 |
20110179566 | Movable support seat for a shower head - A movable support seat for a shower head includes a holding member to receive a removable shower head; a moving member moving vertically along a post and being used to receive the holding member; the moving member having a body disposed to the post, at least one movable retaining paw axially fixed to the body, a resilient element installed to a predetermined position of the retaining paw to actuate the paw portion to elastically engage with a peripheral outer surface of the post and to position the moving member to the post such that when a pressing portion of the retaining paw is pressed, first or second abutting wall of the retaining paw disengages from the post so that the moving member is adjusted freely on the post. | 07-28-2011 |
20110271438 | Shelving System - A shelving system can include can include an elongated support member and a plurality of shelves, each of which can be supported by a clamping mechanism.
