  • Patent number: 4398668
    Abstract: A showerhead control structure having an extending control operator, defining, a showerarm provided having a separate hot and cold water port for connection to existing hot and cold water supply lines in a showerstall wall comprising, a first pivotal ball and socket waterflow control valve structure to shut off the water flow in at least one pivotal position by swinging movement of the extending operator and in combination a second waterflow control valve structure to vary the water spray temperature and shut off the waterflow therethrough by rotational movement of the extending operator.
    Type: Grant

    Inventor: Emile Jette
  • Patent number: 4394969
    Abstract: A showerhead device assembly, independent of the need for faucet or faucets, including an extending control operator for controlling waterflow, water temperature and spray, comprising, a main housing having a passageway between a discharge mouth and an inlet providing a separate hot and cold water chamber for pivotal connection to a showerarm having a hot water port and a cold water port including discharges and an inlet connection, to a hot and cold water supply, including a first water temperature and flow control structure and a second waterflow and spray control structure connected with the extending operator, enabling a user to shut off and turn on waterflow through the showerhead, adjust the temperature of the water flowing therethrough and adjust the spray texture and direction by movement of the operator.

  • Patent number: 4360160
    Abstract: A showerhead control adapter which includes an elongate or remote handle extending outwardly and generally downwardly from the adapter to permit a user to selectively position said showerhead to direct a water discharge flow therefrom to a desired area or location, and a valve structure in the adapter to, optionally, shut off or turn on water supply passing through the adapter by movement of it from an "in-use" position to a "closed" position. This is accomplished without disrupting the hot and cold water mixture in the supply conduit to the showerhead. The adapter includes a first portion or fitting for threaded engagement with the water supply pipe and a second portion for threaded engagement with a conventional showerhead and a universal joint connection between the fitting and the tubular body providing a flow through path or passage which is controlled by the valve structure.

  • Patent number: 4311279
    Abstract: A showerhead control device which includes a connector fitting, a tubular body and an elongate operater handle extending downwardly and generally outwardly therefrom to permit a user to selectively position said showerhead device to direct a water discharge flow therefrom to a desired area or location, and a valve structure in the device controlled by the operater handle to, selectively shut off and turn on a water supply by movement thereof from an "on" position to an "off" position. This is accomplished without disrupting the hot and cold water mixture in the supply conduit to the showerhead. The device includes a first portion for threaded engagement with the water supply line, a second portion carrying conventional showerhead spray structure with a universal joint connection between the first and second portions and a third portion for regulating the water flow through a passage in the second portion by means of a valve structure, and for positioning the direction of the shower spray.

  • Patent number: 4273289
    Abstract: A showerhead for controlling both water flow, spray direction and spray texture including a main housing for pivotally connecting same to a water supply line such that water flow is permitted through the showerhead in at least one pivoted position and terminated in at least one other pivoted position. A spray control carried by the showerhead permits varying spray texture and an elongate control rod having one end carried by the showerhead and a second free distal end for manual actuation by the user to pivot the showerhead about its connection to the water supply line to control water flow therethrough and actuate the spray control upon rotation of the control rod about its longitudinal axis.
