Abstract: A faucet (102) is provided having a faucet body (106) and a faucet head (108), wherein the faucet head (108) comprises a first outlet (110, 112) and a second outlet (110, 112). The faucet is configured such that manual rotation of the faucet head (108) causes the faucet to toggle between a first mode in which fluid is dispensed from the first outlet and a second mode in which fluid is dispensed from the second outlet. Manual rotation of the faucet head may cause one or more valves to be physically/mechanically and/or electronically controlled to control flow of fluid to toggle between the different modes. One fluid outlet may be configured to dispense a first kind of fluid while the other fluid outlet may be configured to dispense a second kind of fluid.

Abstract: Novel plumbing products, including faucets, are fabricated, e.g., using metallic 3-dimensional or other 3-D printing techniques, to have complex geometries, such as multiple channels that may diverge and re-converge near the spout. The geometries of the various channels can resemble interwoven net-like patterns that define various shapes between the channels. The plumbing fixtures may be formed from one or more of stainless steels, INCONEL, brass, bronze, polycarbonate, PVC, acrylics, rigid polyolefins, PET, carbon fiber, AES, or other plumbing fitting suitable corrosion resistant materials. In some embodiments, the handles of an exemplary faucet can include the same or a similar multiple channel configuration as the spout, providing an advantageously, aesthetically pleasing faucet system. In exemplary embodiments, faucet spouts and their handles are formed so as to couple to standard faucet underbodies, standard valve platforms, or standard threaded hose/waterway connections.

Abstract: A sink that includes a door that is positioned to visually obscure the drain, wherein the door can be opened by the user to access the drain when needed. The door includes a door adjustment mechanism that can allow for the door to be opened by a user and then held open without requiring user intervention. The door adjustment mechanism can also be configured to release the door and allow it to close through the actions of the user. In one or more examples, the door can be positioned so that a gap exists between an edge of the door and a basin portion of the sink. The gap can be large enough to allow for water to flow from the basin of the sink to the drain, but small enough to allow for the drain to be visually obscured.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and techniques for cleaning sinks and dishes are provided. In some embodiments, a cleaning system comprises at least one fluid supply, at least one opening in a side wall of a sink basin, and at least one nozzle positioned along an exterior of the sink basin. The nozzle is configured to receive fluid from the fluid supply, and dispense fluid through an opening in a side wall of the sink basin to an interior surface of the sink basin. In some embodiments, the nozzle is configured to dispense fluid to the interior of a sink basin, such that substantially all surfaces of the interior of the sink basin are covered with a thin layer of fluid.

Abstract: A user interface (120) for controlling a shower system (100) includes at least one control (140) configured to be actuated by a user and generate one or more signals for controlling an operation of the shower system (100), and at least one indicator light (154) configured to illuminate in different patterns which are matched to different operational stages of the shower system (100). The at least one indicator light (154) may be configured to provide a first light pattern when the shower system (100) is in a first operational stage, and a second light pattern that is different from the first light pattern when the shower system (100) is in a second operational stage. The first operational stage may include when water in the shower system (100) is being warmed to a predetermined temperature, and the second operational stage may include when a temperature of the water has reached the predetermined temperature.

Abstract: A shower head includes a fluid inlet configured to connect to a fluid source, a spray face having a plurality of fluid outlets, a fluid flow path from the fluid source to the spray face, and a diverter positioned in the fluid flow path which is configured to adjust the flow of fluid through the fluid flow path, the diverter being switchable between different spray configurations associated with different spray modes of the shower head. A user interface for selecting the shower spray mode is positioned on a peripheral portion of the spray face, the user interface including one or more touch-sensitive devices configured to receive one or more touch inputs from a user during operation of the shower head and configured to cause the diverter to switch from one spray configuration to another spray configuration in response to receiving the one or more touch inputs from the user.

Abstract: A bath or shower storage system which offers customizable storage solutions for a bath or shower. The bath or shower storage system includes a bath or shower wall having one or more integrated rails formed on the bath or shower wall, and one or more locking storage accessories which can be attached to the integrated rails. The locking storage accessories include hinge clamp that clamps on the integrated rail when the locking storage accessories are placed in a locked position, and a storage portion to store bath products. The bath or shower storage system may include a variety of storage solutions such as shallow trays, shelves, washcloth holders, and hooks.

Abstract: A cleaning system for a sanitary fixture (e.g., toilet) can include a cleanser assembly, housing a compartment formed in the deck of the fixture in fluid communication with a waterway leading to the bowl. The cleanser assembly can receive a cartridge containing a cleaning product for insertion into the compartment and introduction into the waterway. The assembly can support the seat and cover of the fixture, and can have a low profile and curved shape that complements the corresponding shape of the seat and cover, and provides a balanced look that makes the assembly appear to be an integral part of the sanitary fixture.

Abstract: A bath or shower storage system which offers customizable storage solutions for a bath or shower. The bath or shower storage system includes a bath or shower wall having a magnet-friendly zone formed by an integrated panel within the bath or shower wall, and one or more magnetic shelves which can be attached to the magnet-friendly zone. The magnetic shelves include an attachment member that includes one or more magnets, and a storage member to store bath products. The bath or shower storage system may include a variety of storage solutions such as shallow trays, shelves, washcloth holders, and hooks.
