  • Patent number: 4330089
    Abstract: An adjustable massage shower head comprising, a housing defining a liquid input chamber for receiving a liquid, a flow guide mounted for axial movement in the housing defining a liquid flow passage from the input chamber and a turbine chamber, the flow guide having a spray bottom connected thereto with openings therethrough. A rotor valve is rotatably mounted and fixed at an axial position to the housing and disposed in the turbine chamber for rotation which produces a pulsating spray from the openings. A ring wall is disposed around the turbine chamber and has a plurality of ducts extending radially at an oblique angle therethrough for directing liquid against the rotor valve. The flow guide is axially movable to direct liquid against increasing areas of the rotor valve to increase the frequency of the pulsing spray.

  • Patent number: 4324364
    Abstract: An adjustable shower head for producing adjustable sprays comprising, a housing, a liquid supply connection connected to the housing for the input of liquid into the housing, and a slide bushing mounted for rotation and axial movement in the housing which has an inclined slot defined thereon and a toothed rim which is engageable by a pinion which is rotatably mounted on the housing wall. The pinion carries a guide pin which is flushly engaged within the inclined slot for axial movement of the slide bushing when the pinion is rotated. At least one spray element is fixedly connected to the slide bushing for producing an adjustable output spray of liquid.

  • Patent number: 4266730
    Abstract: A spray device having an attachment member for connecting the device to a stationary water supply and a spray head for discharging the water. The spray device includes at least two wedge-shaped connecting members, each having at least one wedge surface, the wedge-shaped connecting members being rotatably connected to one another along a plane, to the wedge surfaces of adjacent connecting members. One of the wedge-shaped members is rotatably connected to the attachment member. Another wedge-shaped member has the spray head mounted thereon. The attachment member and the wedge-shaped members provide communicating water passages between the stationary water supply and the spray head, whereby the spray head may be tiltably adjusted toward and away from the attachment.

  • Patent number: 4233097
    Abstract: A flexible plastic tube, comprises, an extruded inner tube or tubular portion and an extruded outer tube or tubular portion of a thermoplastic material overlying the inner tubular portion and spaced radially outwardly therefrom and including a reinforcing strip of substantially U-shape configuration wound around the inner portion and bonded to the inner and outer tubular portions. The reinforcing strip has radially extending sidewalls in the form of fins which define a first cavity therebetween and, in addition, successive turns of the reinforcing strip define a second cavity therebetween which is located between the outer and inner walls. The sidewalls advantageously have radially outwardly tapered cross-sectional shapes.
