Patent number: 11097287Abstract: The present invention provides a device that can generate a pulsatile flow or intermittent flow from a continuously flowing of the water tap by pressure of the water tap without using an electrical activation part. The device for generating a pulsatile fluid or intermittent fluid comprises an injection mechanism 110 for injecting fluid, which is a liquid or gas; an air cavity 120 which includes an airtight space, a draining portion 150 disposed in the lower part; an air intake ventilation hole 141 connected to the ventilation pass 140. The injection point of the injection mechanism 110 is around the air intake ventilation hole 141, and the injected flow is formed so that a part of the injected flow runs downward for covering the surface of the side wall in which the air intake ventilation hole 141 is included.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2016Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Inventor: Masaaki Takano

Patent number: 9504968Abstract: The present invention provides a foamed-water generating aerator which is capable of generating good-quality foamed water containing fine, homogeneously distributed air bubbles. The foamed-water generating aerator (100) is fitted to a water discharge pipe to turn water being discharged into foamed water. A circumferential water flow curtain forming portion (110) includes a gap (111), through which water flows, and forms a three-dimensional circulating water flow curtain (112) in which an accelerated water-flow issuing downstream from the gap (111) is continuous in the circumferential direction. An air cavity (120) is provided at some intermediate point in a water-flow path as a place for forming the circulating water flow curtain (112) and sustains an air-filled condition even when a water-flow of the circulating water flow curtain enters therein.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2011Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Inventor: Masaaki Takano

Patent number: 9297153Abstract: The present invention provides a water saving aerator that can generate high quality babble foam water including the fine bubble entirely. The water saving aerator is attached to the water facilities such as the water tap for generating bubble foam water and flowing the bubble foam water. The water saving aerator comprises a water flow forming portion 110 for forming the water flow through the water saving aerator; a ventilation pass 120 for supplying the outer air to the water flow from the side direction via an air intake hole 121 installed on the side surface of a water flow cylinder; and a water flow accelerator 111 for accelerating the water flow supplied from the water flow forming portion and jetting an accelerated water flow jet.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2009Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Inventor: Masaaki Takano

Patent number: 9033260Abstract: The present invention provides a water saving aerator that can reduce the amount of water flow and generate bubble foam water from water provided by the water delivery apparatus such as a water tap. The water saving aerator comprises a water saving disc 10 for controlling the amount of water from the water tap 200, having the through-hole 11 whose diameter is smaller than that of the water tap 200, so the water flow is injected by covering the opening of the water tap 200. A first cylinder 30 covering a diffuser object 20 is provided and a second cylinder 40 covering the first cylinder 30 is provided. The water injected from the through-hole 11 of the water saving disc 10 is diffused by the diffuser object 20, and the diffused water is received by the inner wall of the first cylinder 30.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2008Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Inventor: Masaaki Takano
