Abstract: An improved hair clip and method of making a hair clip is provided. More particularly, the engaging members of a hair clip are provided with a cushioned surface that does not need to be attached to the external surface of the engaging member. Rather, the engaging members of the hair clip may be formed with holes and the outer cushion surface may be formed by material that protrudes through the holes in the engaging member. In one embodiment, the cushion material may be injection molded into the hair clip in a manner that results in the cushion material being forced through the holes in the engaging member in order to form a surface that may contact the hair.

Abstract: A shower head comprises a head chamber 10, a water inlet 2 for the supply of water into the chamber and a water outlet 1 including a plurality of openings 11 for the outlet of water from the chamber. A rotor 3 is mounted for continuous rotation within the chamber under the action of water passing through the chamber. The rotor is mounted adjacent the outlet openings 11 and, at any one rotary position thereof, closes some but not all of the openings whereby each of the openings is intermittently opened and closed by rotation of the rotor. In a second embodiment, a plurality of rotors are provided.

Abstract: A faucet adaptor with a coaxial arrangement of an outer shell, a cover within the shell, a rotor at least partially within the cover, and a faceplate secured to the shell to secure the coaxial arrangement. A passage from the shell through the cover directs fluid from a source onto the rotor and then through the rotor and out of the adapter. The faucet adapter may enable the exiting spray of fluid to have a cone-like shape and the exit angle of the fluid may be altered depending on user-preferences.

Abstract: A handheld spraying device having a quick disconnect assembly for releasably securing a spray body having a valve mechanism therein to a water line. The device includes a nozzle assembly affixed to a water line that includes a pair of opposed projecting wing portions that are spring biased into a pair of opposed seats formed in the spray body. An elongated opening transversely aligned with the seats is provided in the spray body for the passage of the nozzle assembly therethrough upon the wing portions thereof being aligned with the opening. Upon urging the nozzle assembly inwardly within the spray body against an interior spring so as to raise the wing portions off the seats and rotating the line and affixed nozzle assembly approximately 90° with respect to the spray body, the line and nozzle assembly can be withdrawn, disconnecting the spray body from the line.
