Positioned proximate the positioning rod is a hydraulic turbine which engages the belt to move the dispenser about a user. The hydraulic turbine includes an inlet capable of receiving pressurized water and directing the pressurized water into a turbine wheel to position the dispenser. Optionally, the assembly can include a controller which directs both the hydraulic turbine but also the dispenser. The controller includes a processor, a memory device, a power supply and a display. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110258769 | SHOWER SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFT - A shower unit for an aircraft comprises: a shower head, and controls to manually control the water output. A shower enclosure defines a receiving cavity to receive the user. The shower enclosure supports the shower head and the controls for the user to shower in the receiving cavity. The shower enclosure comprises a first door on a first side of the shower enclosure, and a second door on a second side of the shower enclosure to define a passageway through the shower enclosure. The shower unit is adapted to be positioned in the aircraft such that the passageway communicates between two separate zones of the aircraft. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20130019396 | ENCLOSURE SYSTEMS - An enclosure, comprising a sill that includes a drainage system having a spill channel that has a first barrier and a second barrier, with the second barrier positioned below the spill channel and facing a lower distal end of an exterior side of a stationary panel.
