  • Patent number: 8607819
    Abstract: A water saving device and method of using same. The water saving device includes a sleeve and an elastomer fixed in the sleeve. The elastomer has at least a permanently-open hole, a throttling hole and a protrusion for arranging the permanently-open hole and the throttling hole. The permanently-open hole is a hole which still maintains open status after being distorted by pressure. The throttling hole is a hole which will be closed approximately after distortion by pressure. The water saving device not only has the function of decreasing the flow, but also can adjust the flow of the shower and faucet to make the flow steady.

  • Patent number: 8113442
    Abstract: A hand held shower with a button switching mechanism for switching spray patterns disclosed in the present invention comprises a body, a button switching mechanism and a cover unit. The button switching mechanism comprises a seat, a disc, a lever, a button, a lower ratchet wheel sleeve and an upper wheel bar. Each time the button pressed, the disc will be rotated to a certain angle so that the outlet hole of the disc will align with the different inlets of seat. The inlets of the seat and the channels with different functions of the cover unit cooperate to switch the spray pattern. The spray pattern can be conveniently and accurately switched by pressing the button with one hand and with little effort.
