Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a showerhead including a housing, a turbine, and a shutter. The housing defines a fluid inlet and a chamber in fluid communication with the fluid inlet. The chamber includes a plurality of engagement teeth and defines outlets for a first nozzle bank and a second nozzle bank. The turbine is received in the chamber. The shutter is received in the chamber and rotatably coupled to the turbine such that rotation of the turbine causes movement of the shutter. The shutter includes a plurality of shutter teeth positioned around a perimeter of the shutter. Engagement of the shutter teeth and the engagement teeth act to restrict the shutter from rotating while allowing the shutter to move across the chamber in a sliding motion.

Abstract: A showerhead bracket including a bracket body, a spool rotatable relative to the bracket body, and a flow control knob non-rotatably connected to the spool such that the flow control knob and the spool rotate together relative to the bracket body. The flow control knob non-slidably connected to the spool to inhibit axial disengagement of the flow control knob from the spool.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a showerhead with a plurality of modes. The showerhead includes an engine defining a plurality of fluid channels or pathways. Two modes or mode apertures are in fluid communication with a first fluid channel, and another mode or mode aperture is in fluid communication with a second fluid channel. Additionally, the present disclosure is related to a method of producing a massaging spray mode for a showerhead. The method includes fluidly connecting a plurality of nozzles to a fluid source wherein each of the first plurality of nozzles are opened substantially simultaneously, and fluidly disconnecting the first plurality of nozzles from the fluid source wherein each of the nozzles within the first plurality of nozzles are closed substantially simultaneously.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a showerhead. The showerhead includes a housing defining a fluid inlet and a chamber in fluid communication with the fluid inlet, a rotatable turbine received in the chamber and including an eccentric cam positioned on a downstream side of the turbine, and a shutter positioned on the downstream side of the turbine. The shutter includes a shutter body defining an oval-shaped aperture in which the eccentric cam is received such that the shutter oscillates along a rectilinear path as the turbine rotates.

Abstract: An oral irrigator handle has a handle housing with a swivel assembly for connection to a hose further connected to a fluid source. A tip for directing a focused stream of fluid is releasably connected to a first end of the handle. The swivel assembly is received within the housing and fluidly coupled to tip. The hose is connected to the swivel assembly and fluidly coupled to the tip via the swivel assembly. The swivel assembly prevents translation of rotational movement of the handle or the hose to the other.
