Abstract: An electric steam generating device includes a cast body, a heating element, and a fluid passage. The heating element is at least partially surrounded by the cast body. The fluid passage passes through the cast body and is spaced apart from the heating element. The cast body transfers heat from the heating element to the fluid passage, and the fluid passage includes a first portion having a first size and a second portion having a second size.

Abstract: A portable steam generator includes a power source in a housing, a water tank in the housing, a heating element in the housing and configured to heat water in the water tank to produce steam using power from the power source, and a track on the housing configured to support the portable steam generator in an installation position and allow manual removal from the installation position. A pre-plumbed integrated bathroom panel includes a plumbing inlet configured to provide water to the panel, a water outlet connected to the plumbing inlet, a steam outlet connected to the plumbing inlet and a heating element, a sanitizing outlet connected to the plumbing inlet and an additive generator, valves for directing water from the plumbing inlet to the at least one water outlet, the at least one steam outlet, and the at least one sanitizing outlet, and a controller configured to operate at least the plurality of valves.

Abstract: A showerhead can include a rear face having an inlet and a front face having a plurality of outlets. The front face can couple to the rear face to define a shell having an internal waterway between the inlet and the plurality of outlets. The showerhead can include a first support disposed within the shell. The showerhead can include a second support disposed within the shell. The front face and the rear face can snap together. The first support and the second support can snap together.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a duct, at least one air knife, and a separation tube. The at least one air knife is configured to direct air from the fan and configured to dry one or more hands and push water from the one or more hands into the duct. The separation tube includes an inclined vane. The separation tube is connected to the duct and configured to separate the water from air.

Abstract: A hand dryer apparatus includes a fan, a duct, at least one air knife driven by the fan and configured to direct air to dry one or more hands and push water from the one or more hands into the duct, and at least one cyclone device to provide at least a partially circular path for the air and water from the hand.

Abstract: A ball joint connector is provided for linking a showerhead to a water supply pipe. The connector has an internal venturi that draws air into the connector to aerate water being provided to the showerhead. A flow control member is disposed in a fluid pathway connected to the venturi, preventing spraying or leaking out of the air inlet, while reducing noise associated with the air induction.

Abstract: A urinal is disclosed as having a spreader assembly. The spreader assembly includes a spreader body that may be mounted to the urinal, and a spreader mat. The spreader mat includes a series of spray holes. The spreader body is connected to a water supply, and a perimeter of the spreader mat is sealed to the spreader body. Each spray hole of the spreader mat is oriented to direct water onto a particular area of the urinal, when water is supplied to flush the urinal.

Abstract: A ball joint connector is provided for linking a showerhead to a water supply pipe. The connector has an internal venturi that draws air into the connector to aerate water being provided to the showerhead. An insert such as a check valve is provided in a radial air inlet connected to the venturi. The insert prevents spraying or leaking out the air inlet, while reducing noise associated with the air induction.

Abstract: A locking device for locking systems that use different key cylinder types. The locking device is capable of allowing a key to be removed when a lock is in an unlocked position or retaining the key within the padlock body in an unlocked position. The device prevents fatigue of an internal torsion spring and creates more stability for all the internal mechanisms inside the padlock body.

Abstract: The lock construction of the present invention has a lock body defining an interior cavity and a shackle that is releasably received in the interior cavity. The shackle is movable to a locked position for securing to an object and an unlocked position for releasing the object between the shackle and the lock body. A locking mechanism is disposed within the interior cavity of the lock and comprises rotatable first and second members. A motor is included to rotate said second member and thereby rotate the first member to secure and release the shackle between the locked and unlocked positions.
