Abstract:
The present invention relates to a piezoelectric touch-controlled faucet, falling under the technical field of automatic faucets. The faucet comprises a first end connected to a water supply source, a second end having a water outlet for the faucet, and a passage arranged between the first end and the second end for directing the water from the first end to the second end. The faucet further comprises an electronic valve arranged on the passage, and a touch area arranged on the external surface of the passage covering a certain area, wherein a piezoelectric sensor is arranged underneath the touch area, and an electronic control unit is connected to the piezoelectric sensor to receive signal from the piezoelectric sensor for controlling the electronic valve on and off. The electronic control unit may include an automatic time delaying unit. The piezoelectric touch-controlled faucet according to the present invention provides an improved touch control arrangement, reduces energy consumption, defines a touch area accurately, allows multi-touch control, and reduces the probability of accidental activation.
Abstract:
An outdoor light comprises a bottom cap configured to allow the light to be either mounted onto a hard surface (e.g. wood, composite, etc.) or anchored into the soil. The bottom cap comprises at least one generally central aperture configured to receive a ground-engaging spike, and at least two peripheral apertures configured to receive fasteners (e.g. screws, bolts, nails, etc.). When the ground-engaging spike is mounted into the central aperture, the light can be anchored into the ground. When fasteners are mounted through the at least two peripheral apertures, the light can be mounted onto a hard surface.
Abstract:
A vertically adjustable shower caddy system comprising a tension pole, a number of shelves and a number of securing element for attaching and reattaching the shelves and accessories to the tension pole. The tension pole is installed using an integrated tensioning mechanism allowing extension of the top and bottom extremities as to apply tension to the bath or shower floor and ceiling. The securing element uses clips that are opened and closed when attaching and reattaching the shelves to the tension pole rail. Repositioning a shelf to a new location on the tension pole therefore does not require the removal of the tension pole from a shower stall or bathtub/shower area, thereby saving a user a significant amount of time and effort.
