Abstract: The touch-operating input device is configured so that when the control circuit turns on the main light source corresponding to each of the translucent operation buttons that can be operated, the control circuit, on condition that the translucent operation button corresponding to the main light source that is turned on is operated, turns off the sub-light source corresponding to the translucent operation button that is turned on simultaneously with the main light source. Ease of operation is increased by enabling the operator to distinguish operated translucent operation buttons from translucent operation buttons that have not been operated according to whether or not the main light sources are lit.

Abstract: A shower head attachment has a liquid detergent reservoir and facilitates a "soap," "rinse," and "off" cycle. The attachment has a body provided with a rotary valve having a transverse port. The port is alined, selectively, with a first or second longitudinal inclined passageway formed in the body forwardly of the valve. A third passageway of critical internal diameter communicates the first passageway with an opening formed in a depending neck on the body and acts as an aspirating passageway. A sleeve is secured within the opening and carries a depending feed tube. The feed tube extends into a reservoir or bottle of liquid detergent that is removably mounted on the depending neck of the body, externally of the sleeve. The sleeve has a valve seat above the feed tube, and a ball check valve is seated on the valve seat. The valve carries an external handle; and the ends of the handle carry depending cables, the ends of which are provided with respective tabs.

Abstract: A radio tuner for detachably coupling with a cassette tape recorder is disclosed, and forms a radio set when connected with a source battery, an amplifier and a loudspeaker contained within the recorder. The tuner has a casing which is molded from a synthetic resin material and which receives a bar antenna for reception of AM broadcasts. One of the sidewalls of the tuner casing, located at right angles to its mating surface with the recorder, has a rod antenna for reception of an FM broadcast mounted thereon, while a knob associated with a station selecting dial is mounted on the other sidewall. The dial is located on one of the major surfaces of the tuner casing, and is coupled with the knob through a fastening string which is caused to run in mutually perpendicular directions by means of a diverting member having a pair of string engaging portions.
