The device for redirecting water underneath a shower chair is a shield that is installed on the underside of a shower chair and which redirects the flow of water that passes through the seat of the shower chair. The water is redirected to one side of the chair by the first landing on a water shield which is inclined and causes the water to flow towards the front of the chair. Water reaching the front of the water shield flows into a cylindrical member located at the front of the water shield. The cylindrical member is canted with respect to horizontal and cause the water to flow to a side of the chair.

A hand attachable animal washing apparatus, attachable upon the hand of a user, is provided enabling singlehanded control of waterflow and application of water into the coat of an animal. Control of waterflow though a molded body member is enabled by operation of a compressible portion disposed to control a valve assembly disposed interiorly within the molded body member. A proximal arced edge is disposed projected rearwardly from the molded body member and curved downward to direct waterflow away from a user operating the device, particularly when the device is elevated above a user, as when washing a large animal such as a horse, for example. A user may thereby control and apply water to an animal with one hand while securing and comforting the animal with the other hand.

Failsafe Water Saving Shower Head Apparatus and Method

Номер: US20190045980A1
Автор: Huei Meng Chang, Simon Siu-Chi Yu
Принадлежит: Individual

A fail-safe water saving shower enclosure system includes a showerhead, shower faucet, power adapter, an active infrared sensor, electromagnetic activated fluid valve and shower walls. The infrared sensor installed on one shower wall aims at the opposite shower wall that has the showerhead. The enclosure is electronically partitioned into a restrictive flow zone and free flow zones. When a bather is not present within the restrictive flow zone, the showerhead flows at a free flow rate set at the shower faucet. When the bather does not need water, he simply moves towards the restrictive flow zone. The sensor signals the normally open electromagnetic valve to shut off water from reaching the showerhead. The free flow of water resumes when the bather moves towards the showerhead. The showerhead always receives a full flow of water without the presence of a bather, despite a failure of the disclosed components or power loss.
