Publication number: 20230024527Abstract: An example fluid container fill indicator system generates an alert in response to a change in pressure at the exhaust conduit or the fluid container. In some example, the change in pressure causes a reed or whistle type device to generate an audible alert. In some examples, the alert is a mechanical and/or electronic signal based on a change in position or orientation of a valve in response to the change in pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Jeffery R. Ihde, Brian Randall Bellile

Patent number: 8757517Abstract: A showerhead having a plurality of spray modes including a manifold defining a plurality of mode apertures, a front channel plate, a rear channel plate, and a radial mode changer. The front channel plate includes a plurality of front plate partitions connected to an exterior surface of the manifold. The front plate partitions define at least two channels, each channel of the at least two channels corresponds to one of the plurality of spray modes. The mode apertures in the manifold provide fluid communication between the manifold and the at least two channels. The rear channel plate encloses the at least two channels to form at least two chambers. When the radial mode changer is rotated, one or more of the ports of the radial mode changer is aligned with one or more of the mode apertures, and water flows through the radial mode changer into one of the chambers.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2013Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Water Pik, Inc.Inventors: Carl T. Whitaker, Leland C. Leber, Brian Randall Williams

Patent number: 8348181Abstract: A shower assembly having a plurality of spray modes for expelling water includes a housing having a water inflow and a water outflow. The shower assembly provides a manifold defining a cavity having a sidewall. One or more mode apertures formed in the sidewall of the cavity are in fluid communication with the water outflow. A radial mode changer provided in the shower assembly defines a hollow passageway in fluid communication with the water inflow, and further defines a plurality of recessed ports in fluid communication with the hollow passageway. The radial mode changer is rotatably received in the cavity of the manifold and may be rotated relative to the manifold to align at least one of the recessed ports with at least one of the mode apertures for providing flow from the water inflow into the water outflow via the radial mode changer.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2009Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Water Pik, Inc.Inventors: Carl T. Whitaker, Leland C. Leber, Brian Randall Williams
