Abstract: A showerhead assembly may include a base member configured to be fluidly connected to a shower pipe, and defining a cavity in which a water filter is disposed. Magnet(s) may be positioned at a front wall opposite a wall that is proximate the shower pipe. A handheld showerhead may be fluidly connected to the base member. The handheld showerhead may include (i) a rear wall and (ii) a front face. Second magnet(s) may be positioned and arranged to be attracted to the first magnet(s). The handheld showerhead may be altered from a first elevation angle to a second elevation angle while magnetically retained by the base member.

Abstract: A bathing system includes an elongate tub with a first and second end, a circumferential sidewall extending from the rim to the bottom, and opposing first and second walls. Channels are formed in each wall near the rim. The system includes a convertible sling made of flexible material with three panels. The first and second panels are joined together and secured to the tub rim, while the third panel has leg holes and is attached to the second panel. A bar at the end of the third panel connects to the channels in the tub walls. In a first configuration, the sling cradles an occupant of the tub with the first panel facing upward. In a second configuration, the occupant's legs extend through the leg holes, and the second panel rests on the tub floor, supporting the occupant in a seated position.

Abstract: An infant bathing system has a sling for receiving the body of an infant and a tub into which the sling is installed. A second panel of the sling has a first end that is joined to a second end of a first panel. A third panel has leg holes for the infant and a first end that is joined to the second end of the first panel and to the first end of the second panel. A bar connected to the second end of the third panel is adapted to span the tub and to be installed in channels in the tub walls. In one use configuration, the second panel is positioned above the third panel and occludes the leg holes in the third panel. In another use configuration, the third panel is positioned above the second panel and allows use of the leg holes.

Abstract: A water faucet filter assembly may include a horizontal orientation including a filter element viewable through a front cover of the filter assembly and an optional skin treatment element adapter that may receive a water-dissolvable, skin treatment element through which water filtered by the filter element passes before being dispensed to a user.

Abstract: A multihead grooming and cleaning tool, particularly for infants, has an elongate handle with two opposed slots. A tool body is housed in each respective slot and rotates around a tool body axis. In a first use configuration, a first tool head is deployed beyond the end of the handle while a second tool head is shrouded by the handle. In a second use configuration, the opposite is the case. Detenting structure in the slot coacts with detenting structure on the tool body to detent the tool body to the first or the second use configuration.

Abstract: An infant bathing system has a sling for receiving the body of an infant and a tub into which the sling is installed. A second panel of the sling has a first end that is joined to a second end of a first panel. A third panel has leg holes for the infant and a first end that is joined to the second end of the first panel and to the first end of the second panel. A bar connected to the second end of the third panel is adapted to span the tub and to be installed in channels in the tub walls. In one use configuration, the second panel is positioned above the third panel and occludes the leg holes in the third panel. In another use configuration, the third panel is positioned above the second panel and allows use of the leg holes.

Abstract: An electronic thermometer has at least first and second use configurations. In moving from one use configuration to another, probe arm swings about an axis that is located closer to one end of an elongate thermometer body than it is to the other end. In one of the configurations, a portion of the length of the probe arm is received within a channel in the body. One end of the body has an electric lamp that may be turned on and off by a switch. A switch button is located in the bottom of the channel. A user may press against the side of the probe arm which in turn will press against the switch button, thereby taming the lamp on or off.

Abstract: A multi-configuration electronic thermometer operates in any of a plurality of modes, including a rectal mode, an underarm mode and an oral mode. A probe arm swings about an axis that is located closer to one end of an elongate thermometer body than it is to the other end. In a first, rectal configuration, only a limited length of the probe arm extends beyond a front end of the thermometer body. In a second configuration, the probe arm is swung to a position such that its free end is farther from a second end of the body than it was from the first end while in the first configuration. The probe arm is spring-loaded to lock to a user-selected one of the configurations and is torsionally biased to the more compact, first configuration. Different sensing algorithms are used depending on the mode selected.

Abstract: A self-propelled spinning device having a first and second hemisphere connected together to form a hollow housing. A drive system is disposed in the hollow housing and a plurality of projections extends outward from the first or second hemisphere. The drive system includes an eccentric path of rotation causing the hollow housing to spin about a rotational axis. The projections propel the self-propelled spinning device in a forward direction.

Abstract: A mixing container is disclosed having a moving grip positioned outside of its lid such that the grip is rotatable to allow contents inside the container to pour out or to prevent the pouring of contents.
