The fitting changes the water supply from a shower to a bath. It contains a piston, loaded by the water pressure, and actuated by traction- or pressure rod against a spring pressure, to seal a valve seat to the bath inlet. When not under pressure, the piston is retracted by the spring. A piston with three stages, is guided sealed within a cylindrical sleeve, having an inlet aperture, positioned between two radial outlet apertures. The opposite active piston surfaces are of the same size, when the piston is in a position to open the outlet towards the bath. When in a position to seal this outlet, the piston surfaces are so dimensioned, that the water pressure load is high enough to overcome the spring load.

A domestic water saving apparatus

Номер: GB0002439085A
Принадлежит:

A water saving apparatus that harnesses the cold water that initially emerges from a hot water outlet for a sink or bath, the apparatus allows the water to be recycling for further use and prevents total loss of the cold water. The apparatus comprises a thermostatic valve located in the waste outlet pipe of a sink or bath that redirects water that does not fall within a predetermined temperature range into either the hot or cold water supply pipes. Preferably the water passes through water purifiers located between the thermostatic valve and the hot and cold water supply pipes. A non return valve on the hot and cold water supply pipes prevents water from flowing back into the waste pipe. When the water reaches a predetermined temperature, the thermostatic valve opens and at this point the user should place the sink/bath plug in the sink/bath.

A changeover mechanism for switching the water flow from basin-feed operation to hand-shower operation is to be constructed, from a small number of components, in as straightforward a manner as possible and its production is to involve little outlay. For this purpose, the hose lead-through 7 is, at the same time, a switchover valve housing. The hand shower 1, which is connected to the shower hose 2, butts resiliently against the conical inner surface 11 of the changeover slide 8 by way of a compressible spring 9, as a result of which, in the drawn- out position, the opening 6 is released for the supply of water to the hand shower 1 and, in the pushed-in position, the opening 5 is released for the supply of water to the basin. ...

The supply line [ 1010 ] directs the fluid to a fluid valve [ 1210 ] which is controlled by a first clicking mechanism 1231 which toggles the valve between an “open” position directing fluid flow to an additive valve [ 1240 ], and a “closed” position which stops fluid flow. Additive valve [ 1240 ] is also toggled between two positions by a second clicking mechanism [ 1232 ]. In its ‘fluid only’ position, only fluid is allowed to pass out of the additive valve [ 1240 ] through a mixing chamber [ 1400 ] and out of a changeable head [ 1700 ] to the user.

Shaped compositions for uniform delivery of a functional agent

Номер: US20120258156A1
Принадлежит: Individual

Shaped compositions are provided for use in delivering a substantially uniform concentration of a functional agent (e.g., an antimicrobial sanitizing agent) to a flowing stream of water. The composition may be shaped and sized to be inserted into a device configured to be attached over the end of a faucet. The shaped composition may include at least two different regions (e.g., layers). A dissolvable region includes a functional agent (e.g., an anti-microbial sanitizing agent). A substantially non-dissolvable region is disposed adjacent to the dissolvable region (e.g., adjacent the bottom surface) so as to cover a bottom surface of the dissolvable region. The geometry of the shaped composition, as well as the presence of the substantially non-dissolvable region aids in providing a substantially uniform concentration of functional agent throughout the life of the dissolvable region.
