    摘要: A showerhead is provided that may include a plurality of nozzle systems (each nozzle system including a first channel and a second channel) and a first and second fluid path. The showerhead may include a first valve which may control a first flow rate of fluid flowing through the first fluid path and a second valve which may control a second flow rate of fluid flowing through the second fluid path. The showerhead may include at least one controller which may control the first and second valves. The first and second channels may be angled such that fluid exiting the first channel impinges on fluid exiting the second channel.

    摘要: A showerhead for an overhead shower is provided, and includes a faceplate with one or more apertures, and a chamber within the showerhead. The chamber is in fluid communication with a water supply. A nozzle is also disposed at least partially in each aperture. One or more of the nozzles have a nozzle body with a nozzle inlet at a first end and a nozzle outlet at a second end. The nozzle inlet is inboard of the faceplate. One or more enclosure portions protrude into the chamber from a back plate. A portion of the nozzle body including the nozzle inlet is surrounded at least partially by the enclosure portion. A first gap is between the nozzle body and the enclosure portion. The enclosure portion and the nozzle body together provide a tortuous, relatively narrow flow path.

    摘要: Provided is an atomization nozzle including: a nozzle body member having a gas ejection path and a gas ejection port; a liquid nozzle member having a liquid ejection path and a liquid ejection port, a tip portion of the liquid nozzle member being inserted through the gas ejection path; a pattern adjustment groove that produces a swirling flow in the gas ejection path; and a spraying pattern adjustment member having a communication flow path and a blocking portion, where a spraying pattern can be changed by switching between a first position in which the pattern adjustment groove and a gas supply flow path are in communication via the communication flow path and a second position in which the pattern adjustment groove is covered by the blocking portion. Also provided are an atomization device, a spraying device, and a spraying method.

    摘要: A shower assembly. The assembly may include a shower device including a device housing defining an inlet communicating with an inlet chamber, an outlet and a waterway communicating between the inlet chamber and the outlet, the device housing further defining a receptacle having a closed end and an open end, the inlet chamber being behind the closed end, the waterway extending along the receptacle from the closed end toward the open end; and a second device supportable in the receptacle. The outlet may define an outlet plane, and the second device may include a housing providing an outlet, the outlet being one of aligned with and positioned forwardly of the outlet plane when the speaker is supported in the receptacle. The assembly may further include a magnetic connecting structure operable to releasably connect the second device and the shower device.

    摘要: A water delivery device includes an inlet connector, a sprayface assembly, and a selection engine. The inlet connector is configured to couple the water delivery device to a water supply. The sprayface assembly includes a plurality of nozzles that are configured to produce a plurality of spray patterns. The selection engine fluidly couples the inlet connector to the sprayface assembly and controls flow to each one of the plurality of nozzles to determine the spray pattern produced at the sprayface assembly. The selection engine is configured to switch directly from any one of the plurality of spray patterns to any other one of the plurality of spray patterns in response to a single actuation of the selection engine.
