US Patent:

7896259, Mar 1, 2011
Filed:

Oct 16, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/581666
Inventors:

David Meisner - Monmouth Beach NJ, US
Walter Pitsch - Washington NJ, US
Tung Hsien Lu - Taiping, TW
Assignee:

As IP Holdco, L.L.C. - Piscataway NJ
International Classification:

B05B 1/34
US Classification:

239383, 239 72, 239 73, 239443, 239558
Abstract:

The present invention provides a water saving showerhead that allows a bather to switch among at least three different water delivery functions. In the first function, the showerhead delivers a concentrated fluttering spray. In the second function, the showerhead delivers a combined spray pattern, wherein the fluttering spray and a radially dispersed precision spray are simultaneously delivered to the bather. In the third function, the showerhead delivers the precision spray pattern. The combination spray pattern is effected without compromising either the desirable massaging and cleaning effect of water delivery or the inherent water conservation benefits. In addition, the showerhead of the present invention provides an automatic return feature for return of the showerhead to the first function when water pressure to the showerhead falls below a predetermined bottom threshold.
