摘要:
A light apparatus is provided having a housing and an array of light emitting units integrally formed within the housing, each light emitting unit containing at least one light emitting diode (LED). The apparatus further includes a processor in communication with the LEDs in each light emitting unit, and user input controls in communication with the processor for controlling the light emitting units, such that a light color displayed by each light emitting unit can vary with time. Methods for controlling the intensity of an LED are also provided.

An electric, motorized toothbrush includes a switch that has an “automatic” position. The “automatic” mode provides for intermittent motorized operation, which is dependent upon application of an external force. Various embodiments allow for the force to be exerted either on the toothbrush handle, such as when it is gripped by the user, or on the brush head itself—e.g., when the brush head contacts the user's teeth. A substantially hollow housing allows for placement of battery, motor, gears, and linkages to facilitate motorized movement of the brush head.

A showerhead with a removable portion is provided that includes a fixed fluid dispensing unit supported at a location. The fixed dispensing unit has a fixed nozzle apertures arranged on a fixed spray face within a first area of between 55 and 95 percent of the fixed spray face, the fixed spray face having a second area devoid of fixed nozzle apertures and contiguous with the first area. A removable fluid dispensing unit has a front face defining a front face area, a back surface in opposition to the front face, and removable nozzle apertures arranged on the front face, the back surface adapted to overlap the second area of the fixed spray face and protrude in every portion from the fixed spray face. A handle and fluid supply house are provided.

A faucet for coupling to a pressurized fluid supply that including a hollow faucet body, a faucet head, a disc valve positioned within the head, and a valve control device. The faucet body having a base at a first end and a second end in fluid communication with the first end. The faucet head having a first end and an outlet at a second end, the first end of the head being removably attached to the second end of the faucet body. The disc valve that is positioned within the faucet head being configured to induce fluid flow and control a temperature of the fluid flow from the pressurized fluid supply through the outlet of the faucet head. The valve control device being positioned on an exterior surface of the faucet head and is mechanically connected to the disc valve and configured to actuate the disc valve.

A humidifier is provided having a base including a chamber for receiving water, at least one reservoir removably mounted on the base for providing water to the base chamber, and an atomizer provided in the base for aerosolizing water from the base chamber. A duct is removably mounted on the base, the duct enclosing the atomizer and venting humidified air from the humidifier. An anti-contamination system is in communication with the duct and includes a housing, an ultraviolet (UV) light source mounted within the housing for emitting UV light to interact with at least one of the aerosolized water and humidified air, and a window at least partially transparent to UV light provided between the anti-contamination system and the duct. Embodiments may include a reflective member provided within the housing for reflecting UV light through the window.

A showerhead for personal hygiene is provided that includes a spray face in fluid communication with a cavity by way of a plurality of nozzle apertures. The cavity receives water from a water supply. A spray selector controls fluid flow between the cavity and the nozzle apertures. A battery-electric motor or a kinetic energy storing spring is provided as a power supply for an actuator that provides mechanical communication between the power supply and the selector to move the selector and thereby alter the fluid spray pattern from the spray face. A user interface provides a user with selective control over movement of the actuator and the movement of the selector to sequentially provide multiple spray patterns from the spray face without intermediate manual intervention between the multiple spray patterns emitted from the spray face.

A massage apparatus is provided with a housing, and a substrate mounted for rotation to the housing and driven by a motor. A massage node and a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heater are mounted to the substrate. A pair of contacts and a pair of brushes maintain electrical engagement of the PTC heater with the housing during rotation of the substrate. Another embodiment provides an infrared light emitting diode (LED) beneath the massage node in electrical communication with the housing due to the contacts and brushes. Another embodiment provides a method for imparting a heated massage effect by providing a massage apparatus with a message mechanism, a PTC heater and a plurality of infrared LEDs. A massage effect is imparted and a warm-up operation is initiated of the PTC heater and the LEDs. The warm-up operation of the PTC heater is discontinued upon the massage mechanism reaching a predefined temperature.

A showerhead for personal hygiene is provided that includes a housing have a spray face extending therefrom. A cavity in the housing is in fluid communication with a water supply and the spray face by way of nozzle apertures. A spray selector controls fluid flow between the cavity and each of the nozzle apertures. A power supply is provided of a battery-electric motor or a spring, the power supply is in mechanical communication with an actuator. The actuator operates to move the selector. A user touch interface provides a user with selective movement of the selector to sequentially provide multiple spray patterns from the spray face. The user interface is an electrically conductive portion of the housing or the spray face.

A massager is provided with a housing having a first guide oriented in a longitudinal direction. A carriage is oriented in the housing and cooperates with the first guide for translation. A motor is supported upon one of the carriage and the housing and operably connected to the other for translating the carriage along the first guide. A second guide is mounted to the housing and oriented generally canted relative to the longitudinal direction. A massage member is pivotally connected to the carriage and pivotally connected to the second guide such that as the carriage is translated along the first guide, and angular orientation of the massage member is rotated relative to the carriage.
