Abstract: As a method to conserve water, a flow controllable shower arm or an adaptive fitting attachment to an existing shower arm having an unobtrusive and relatively unobservable tool-operative feature, which allows authorized personnel in possession of a particular tool to control the amount of water flow into and through a downstream showerhead. In particular, a small valve is located in the shower arm or the adaptive attachment and has a threaded plug which can extend into or out of the axial water duct of the arm or rotate a maximum of 90 degrees within the arm to thereby block water flow or permit water flow. A tool-receiving end is provided at the outer portion of the plug to eliminate or at least minimize access to said flow control by the person taking the shower.

Abstract: A flow controllable shower stem or an adaptive attachment having a security control feature, which allows only authorized personnel to control the amount of water flow through a shower head. In particular, a small valve is located in the shower stem or adaptive attachment and has a threaded plug which can extend into and out of the axial water duct of the stem to thereby block water flow or permit water flow. A security type end is provided at the outer portion of the plug to permit control only by authorized personnel.

Abstract: A hole repair device employs a dish shaped resilient member having a centrally disposed threaded opening receiving an elongated thin screw having a pointed end. In use the dish member is compressed and pressed through the hole to be repaired and is thereafter rotated back on the screw until the circumferential portion of the dish shaped member engages a continuous area surrounding the hole to be repaired. A suitable filler such as plaster, cement or putty is then filled into the hole against the dish member and the screw is broken off inside the repaired surface of the wall.
