Abstract: Fluid mixing and dispensing shower head and suspendible supply reservoir for portable connection to a conventional shower head. The valve block is constructed for quick, intermediate securement between the shower head and supply pipe and is adapted to be operated in conjunction with the shower fixture for selectively dispensing one of a plurality of select liquids into the water stream discharged by the shower nozzle. A plurality of separately accessible containers are provided in a storage bracket suspended beneath the shower head to store distinct quantities of fluids to be dispensed. A suitable selector valve is provided adjacent the storage reservoir to channel the select fluid into the shower head. The containers are housed in a transparent bracket, suspended from the shower head, to permit the user to determine the amount of liquid remaining in each container and the type of liquid selected.

Abstract: A connecting device for connecting a water hose to an object. It includes at least two pieces, of which one is connected to the water hose and the second to the object. The first connecting piece consists of a hand shower, part of which is a handle and part a shower head. The hand shower contains a valve device having a valve body which is moveable between at least two positions, and which is designed to be moved to a connected position by means of the second connecting piece. The valve is designed to then allow water to flow from the hand shower to the object while preventing water flow out of the shower head; but the valve allows water to flow from the shower head when the valve body is in its normal non-connected position.

Abstract: The steadying device of the present invention is for conveniently stably physically maintaining the firehose-assembly with minimal or no manpower ancillary to firemanship tasks such as fighting fires, evacuating smoke, etc. For example, the steadying device permits the firehose-assembly nozzle to be strategically located and thereafter steadily maintained at a building wall opening solely by virtue of waterstream backpressure exerted through the steadying device winged portion and hence without fireman holding assistance during smoke evacuation periods.

Abstract: This invention relates to apparatus for making use of water for health care. A guide strut is arranged for vertical attachment to a support means which may be a wall or a stand device and a slider cooperates with this guide strut; a spray tube is connected to the slider and a connector is provided on the spray tube to accept a flexible water-supply pipe. There is a drive element associated with the guide strut which is arranged to effect the up and down movement of the spray tube and is fitted with a drive means and a switch; the switch serves to reverse the direction of rotation of the drive means and is arranged to be actuated by two spaced engagement members.

Abstract: A collar, slidably carried upon the barrel of a wand-type spray gun, is normally urged rearward against a stop by a compression spring. Disposed between the stop and the collar is a ring-like member which rocks relative the barrel using the edge of the collar as a fulcrum. The ring-like member abuts a lip extending radially inward from the forward end of a holder tube and prevents expulsion of the spray gun in response to the rearward force from the emission of high pressure fluid from the nozzle of the spray gun. Slight pressure upon the handle readily withdraws the spray gun from the holder and tapered fins carried by the collar. A ramp depending from the lip guides the spray gun into the holder.

Abstract: A conventional sprinkler head is conveniently connected to a household water pipe for installation over a wood burning stove or the like by means of a short length of conduit, or tubing, with a "quick-tee" connection, and the plaque has a forwardly projecting channel through which the conduit passes to an elbow fitting mounted at the forward end of the channel. The sprinkler head is supported on the elbow, and a decorative figurine is mounted on the deflector portion of the sprinkler head. The figurine is spaced forwardly of the plaque to provide a decorative device suitable for residential installation of a sprinkler head over a wood burning stove or the like, the device being so constructed that the sprinkler head itself is not readily visible.

Abstract: A wall mountable holder to dispense the contents of an aerosol can, the holder comprising an outer casing of two parts dimensioned to contain within it a pressurized can, the two parts of said container being pivotally attached at their upper end and having projections to engage the dispensing nozzle of said can so that upon relative movement of said two parts toward each other beyond a predetermined position said means cause movement of said nozzle to thereby release contents from within said can.

Abstract: Apparatus for use in a shower stall to simulate a steam bath. In one embodiment the apparatus comprises a diverter valve adapted to be connected between a conventional shower head in the stall and the pipe carrying hot water thereto. A flexible conduit is connected to the diverter valve and includes nozzle means disposed at the free end thereof. The nozzle means includes an orifice producing an aerosol mist of a multitude of fine droplets of hot water in a well defined flat pattern. The nozzle means is mounted with respect to the walls to cause the spray pattern to impinge the wall at an angle and produce a cloud of fine hot water droplets simulating live steam. The nozzle is constructed to produce a large volume of water droplets from a small volume of hot water.In another embodiment the nozzle is permanently mounted within the stall via a pipe extending through the wall of the stall and in fluid communication with a hot water pipe of the building in which the stall shower is located.

Abstract: A vibratory atomizer for atomizing a liquid, the horn and piezoelectric crystal being housed in a housing but separated from the housing by a rubber O-ring so that energy loss to the housing is minimized.

Abstract: A cleaning, rinsing and sanitizing apparatus for cleaning and sanitizing food preparation equipment which includes a mounted or portable spray system, including connecting hose, appropriate valving, and a proportionaire or metering valve for selectively mixing incoming streams of water and a selected chemical or chemicals. The system apparatus includes at least two chemical supply tanks with connecting hoses in valved cooperation with the proportionaire valve, such that any one or a combination of chemicals, as desired, can be simultaneously introduced into the proportionaire valve and thence to the spray nozzle in selected concentrations.
