Abstract: A covering for a shower head includes a hollow body adapted to be placed over a shower head. The hollow body has a through hole extending therethrough, the through hole having dimensions to permit receipt of the shower head therein. A first bearing surface is formed in the hollow body for contactingly engaging the shower head, the first bearing surface defining a portion of the through hole; and a second bearing surface is formed in the hollow body in spaced relation to the first bearing surface for also contactingly engaging the shower head at an area spaced from the position where the first bearing surface engages the shower head, the second bearing surface defining another portion of the through hole. The first and second bearing surfaces stably support the covering on the shower head. The hollow body also includes a drain hole at a lower portion thereof for drainage of water therefrom.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for circulating water in a body of water including a simulated floating rock structure connected to a pump located remote from the body of water. Conduits place the pump, the body of water, and rock structure in communication so that water is drawn from the body of water and forced under pressure through the conduit connected to the floating rock structure. There is a nozzle element in the floating rock structure centrally located in the top of the floating rock structure connected to the conduit leading from the outlet of the pump so that water under pressure is forced through this nozzle. The conduit connected to the floating rock structure includes a slidable section that automatically increases or decreases the length of the conduit as the water level changes within the body of water. Valves are provided to control the flow of water so that the spray emanating from the nozzle element may be increased or decreased.

Abstract: A flow actuated pulsator for shooting water in consecutive pulses. The pulsator is powered by water flowing under pressure therethrough and includes a nozzle for ejecting water at high speed, a pulse valve which cycles through opened and closed states to effect on-off cycling of water flow and a sound effects generator for producing sound effects with each water pulse. The pulse valve is biased to an open state when the pulsator is not being actuated by flowing water so that an initial water flow initiates open-closed cycling. The pulse valve is biased to an open state following each closed cycle. The pulsator is built into a compressed air powered water gun designed to contain water and air under pressure and including an air pump for compressing air into the gun to pressurize water contained therein and a trigger coupled to a valve for manually shooting the gun by controlling flow of pressurized water to the pulsator.

A second nozzle, also capable of fluid communication with the connector through a pivotally operated valve, is connected to the remainder of the toy by a flexible hose.

Abstract: A rechargeable sachet for scenting articles of apparel, the sachet being in a snake-like form so that it may be coiled or knotted about a post or rod in a clothes closet, or placed in a drawer in any desired shape. The sachet includes a permeable fabric sleeve having stuffed therein a flexible core of absorbent material having wicking properties. Within one end of the sleeve is a non-permeable socket which receives the corresponding end of the core, the base of the socket being provided with a projecting plug having an axial bore therein from which is extended a dip tube. The plug is inserted into the mouth of a squeeze bottle containing a reserve supply of liquid fragrance. The core is initially impregnated with a charge of the same liquid fragrance which, as it evaporates, is diffused through the sleeve into the closet or drawer to scent the clothing housed therein.

Abstract: The Sitdown Shower for Children enhances the capability of the standard bathtub by allowing a child to be showered in a sitting or lying posture in the middle of the tub. The shower is attached to the bathtub's tap by means of a sleeve adapter which fits in a glove-like manner over the downward projection of the tap. Rigid and self-supporting tubing extends from the adapter and projects the shower water to a moveable shower head connected to the far end of the rigid tubing. The lateral inclination of the shower head is slightly above the tap. In addition, horizontal and vertical suction cups are selectively located to brace the rigid tubing and provide added support for the tubing. The bathtub's hot and cold shutoff valves control the shower water and allow the temperature of the water to be adjusted.

Abstract: A self contained fountain in the form of an antique hand pump on a stand. A motor in the pump body oscillates the pump handle up and down and this movement alternately actuates and deactuates a submerged electric pump in the fountain reservoir so that water is pumped from the pump spout in timed relation to the movement of the pump handle. The water drains from the receiving container back to the reservoir concealed in the pump stand.

Abstract: An air freshener device mountable inside an automotive vehicle for the purpose of refreshing the vehicle air breathed by the vehicle occupants, the device including a hand-shaped container oscilated on a flexible rod attached to a suction cup mountable on the vehichel dashboard, and small dispensing openings at a top of the container so to allow a fine vapor of an air refreshing liquid being dispensed from the container.

Abstract: A pocket atomizer that can be primed to hold liquid such as tear gas, in position for immediate discharge upon first application of its plunger. The atomizer includes a hollow piston having a hollow piston rod. The piston is movable up and down within a pump cylinder to force liquid up through the hollow piston rod. A check valve is located within the lower end of the hollow piston rod, and an orifice is located in the upper end of the hollow piston rod for discharging the pumped liquid. A capillary tube located within the hollow piston rod has an upper end coupled to the orifice for preventing liquid from draining therefrom between uses and thereby eliminates the necessity of priming the atomizer between uses. The lower end of the capillary tube terminates some distance above the check valve to define a chamber above the check valve. The check valve includes a valve seat and a ball of greater diameter than the capillary tube and of sufficient mass to seat in the valve seat when the piston is moved up.

Abstract: A water play toy comprising a base portion and an elevatable, elongated upper portion having a water deflector mounted at the top. A source of water under pressure is coupled to an upwardly directed nozzle located in the base portion. When the water pressure is turned on, a jet of water is directed upwardly from the nozzle through the upper portion to the deflector and the force of water lifts the upper portion into the air where it balances on the head of the water stream. When the deflector is an impeller, the upper portion rotates and an umbrella-shaped shower of water is broadcast outwardly from the deflector. As long as the water pressure is uninterrupted, the upper portion is balanced on the top of the water stream from the nozzle and continues to spray water in a circular pattern around the toy. The nozzle is slidably positionable to enable it to be positioned to direct the water stream directly vertical.
