  • VALVE CARTRIDGE WITH SNAP RETAINER TOLERANCE ABSORBER
    Publication number: 20080179559
    Abstract: A two-handle valve cartridge has a housing with a snap retainer formed therein, such that a stem can be snap fit into the housing. The snap retainer prevents the stem from inadvertently becoming dislodged after assembly of the valve cartridge. The snap retainer also absorbs tolerances attributable to the stem and the housing and eliminates a clearance between the stem and the housing.

  • Interleaved multi-function showerhead
    Patent number: 7374112
    Abstract: A multi-function showerhead has at least a first set of nozzles forming first curves and a second set of nozzles forming second curves. The showerhead discharges water through the first curves when a first water delivery function is selected and through the second curves when a second water delivery function is selected. The first curves and the second curves are interleaved so that a coherent and balanced spray pattern is provided resulting in a pleasant showering experience, regardless of the selected water delivery function.
