Patent number: 11458488Abstract: A showerhead including a housing defining a plurality of nozzles and an inlet and having a water control assembly is disclosed. The water control assembly may be positioned at least partially within the housing between the plurality of nozzles and the inlet to control water flow from the inlet to the plurality of nozzles. The water control assembly including an actuator linearly movable along a length of the housing, a valve operably coupled to the actuator that rotates from a first position allowing fluid flow from the inlet to reach the nozzles to a second position reducing fluid flow from the inlet to the nozzles, and a valve driver coupled between the actuator and the valve, where the valve driver converts the linear motion of the actuator into a rotational movement of the valve.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2019Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: WATER PIK, INC.Inventors: Craig P. Rogers, Michael J. Quinn

Patent number: 11084047Abstract: In one embodiment, a massage mode assembly for a showerhead is disclosed. The massage mode assembly includes a drive element, a cam, and a shutter. The drive element has a drive element length or diameter, depending on the shape of the drive element, and is rotatable about an axis by fluid flowing through the showerhead. The cam is connected to the drive element and rotates with the drive element. The shutter is operably engaged with the cam and has a shutter length that is longer than the drive element length and the rotation of the cam causes the shutter to move correspondingly.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: WATER PIK, INC.Inventors: Joseph W. Cacka, Craig P. Rogers

Patent number: 10660429Abstract: A handheld, therapeutic cleansing system includes a cleansing implement, for example a brush or pumice stone, magnetically coupled to a cleansing device. The cleansing device may include an elongated handle and a head portion extending from an end of the handle. The cleansing device may include a plurality of nozzles positioned around a perimeter of the head portion. The cleansing device may define an annular fluid path in fluid communication with the plurality of nozzles to supply fluid to the nozzles. The cleansing device may include a first magnetic material positioned radially inward of the annular fluid path. The cleansing implement may be magnetically coupled to the head portion of the cleansing device. The cleansing implement may include a second magnetic material that is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic material to couple the cleansing implement to the head portion of the cleansing device.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2018Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Water Pik, Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Quinn, Craig P. Rogers, Eric Summers
