  • VALVE BODY
    Publication number: 20100127202
    Abstract: A hybrid valve body is a multi-piece valve body formed of a brass component and a first non-brass component. The brass component and the first non-brass component are held together by a second non-brass component, such that the brass component and the first and second non-brass components need not be screwed together or otherwise fastened or moved against one another in a manner which could contribute to corrosion. The hybrid valve body realizes a substantial reduction in the amount of brass that would otherwise be used to form the valve body.

  • Integrated multi-function showerhead
    Patent number: 7694897
    Abstract: A showerhead has at least a first set of nozzles and a second set of nozzles for discharging water. The showerhead discharges water according to one of multiple water delivery functions, where a first water delivery function corresponds to water being discharged through only the first set of nozzles, a second water delivery function corresponds to water being discharged through only the second set of nozzles and a third water delivery function corresponds to water being discharged through the first and second sets of nozzles simultaneously. The spacing between the first set of nozzles and the second set of nozzles is carefully selected so that the third water delivery function corresponds to the integrated nozzles of the first and second sets of nozzles. As a result, the third water delivery function provides a coherent and balanced water flow resulting in a more pleasant feel.
