  • Patent number: 11759801
    Abstract: A showerhead including a head portion including a plurality of nozzles, a handle extending from the head portion and including an inlet, and a pause assembly positioned within the handle to control water flow from the inlet to the plurality of nozzles is disclosed. The pause assembly includes a control extending outwardly from the handle for manipulation by a user to change a state of the pause assembly and an actuator that translates motion of the control to change the state of the pause assembly.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11458488
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11084047
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10660429
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10441960
    Abstract: A showerhead having a control assembly is disclosed. The showerhead includes a head portion operably connected to a showerhead engine, the engine including a plurality of nozzles in fluid communication with the head portion and a handle fluidly connected to a water source and defining a flow path between the water source and the head portion. The control assembly is positioned within the flow path of the handle and is operable to vary a flow volume from the water source to the head portion.
