Water saving shower nozzle

The present invention pertains to a water reducing shower nozzle assembly having a main body with a cavity defined therein, and the cavity includes a fan-shaped cavity and a funnel-shaped cavity. A plurality of jets are synchronously driven by a quasi-blade device inside the fan-shaped cavity, and the funnel-shaped cavity comprises an outlet disposed thereon. The jets, being driven by the quasi-blade device allow less water into the outlet to save water; due to jets rotating periodically and the specific configuration of the funnel-shaped cavity, water can be formed in dense water drops and sprayed out from the outlet in multiple directions, thereby maintaining the same water power as conventional showering nozzles without a water reducer with synchronously rotated jets.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to bath equipments, particularly, to a water reducing shower nozzle assembly with a water reducer, accompanied by rotated jets driven by a quasi-blade device, for reducing water and at the same time maintaining a strong water jet power.

2. Description of the Related Art

Typically, the shower equipment in the market commonly has a plurality of outlets disposed on the shower nozzle for incessantly outputting water, but the above design has the disadvantage of wasting too much water. For reducing the water flow, the American market hence requests the nozzle to add water-saving plates or reduce the numbers of outlets. Nevertheless, the increment of the water-saving-plate or the reduction of the numbers of outlets may reduce the water flow at the expense of reducing jetting power of water flow. Therefore, the above shower equipments are still unable to output strong power of water by inputting less water, thus leaving room for further improvements.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is to provide a water reducing shower nozzle assembly which reduces the volume of water flow and at the same time, maintains the same jetting power of water flow like ordinary shower nozzles without a water reducer device.

The water reducing shower nozzle assembly in accordance with the present invention mainly provides with a main body where a cavity is defined, and the cavity is divided by a fan-shaped cavity and a funnel-shaped cavity with an outlet formed on the bottom thereof. Particularly, the fan-shaped cavity has a quasi-blade device and a plurality of jets disposed under the quasi-blade device for being rotated thereby. By means of the above configuration, the quasi-blade device drives part of the jets to be in a high speed rotation so that the jets carries less water than otherwise into the funnel-shaped cavity, hence saving water; further, the funnel-shaped cavity assists in slantingly outputting water and accompanies the periodic rotations of jets; water thus is sprayed from the outlet in multiple directions and forms dense water drops, thereby achieving a strong shower power by reducing the water flow.

The advantages of the present invention over the known prior arts will become more apparent to those of ordinary skilled in the art by the following descriptions with drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Before the present invention is described in greater details, it should be noted that the like elements are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the disclosure.

Referring toFIG. 1, one preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a main body1and a cavity2defined therein, and the cavity2includes a fan-shaped cavity21formed on the top thereof, a funnel-shaped cavity23formed on the bottom thereof, and a ring-shaped cavity22disposed between the two cavities2and23; wherein, the fan-shaped cavity21has a quasi-blade device3located therein and an inlet211(for instance formed in a slant state) disposed by the quasi-blade device3. Further a plurality of ribs31are mounted under the quasi-blade device3and face the ring-shaped cavity22for operating with device3; further, a plurality of jets4are disposed above the ring-shaped cavity22, so that the ribs31, as a water flow reducer, block at least one jet4(as illustrated inFIG. 2). Additionally, the funnel-shaped cavity23has an outlet231defined at its distal end for ultimately spraying the water out of the nozzle.

Referring toFIGS. 1 and 2, while in operation, the water initially comes into the main body1, and passes through the slope inlet211and thence hits the quasi-blade device3to generate a high speed rotation. In this manner, the ribs31on the quasi-blade device3periodically block part of the jets4(shown inFIG. 2), so that the unblocked jets4can instantaneously output less water into the ring-shaped cavity22for reducing the water flow, and the jets4also rotate periodically. When the water subsequently goes through the ring-shaped cavity22and arrives in the funnel-shaped cavity23, the water thence can be slantingly output from the outlet231(as arrowed inFIG. 1) to form highly densed water drops and finally be sprayed out of the body1in multiple directions. Therefore the present invention not only saves the water but is able to maintain the same powerful water flow just like those showers lacking a water reducer.

Referring toFIG. 3, another preferred embodiment of the present invention still comprises the similar configurations and operations like the previous embodiment. The only difference is that a fanned rib31is mounted on the quasi-blade device3and periodically blocks more than one of the jets4at the same time; furthermore, the quasi-blade device3can additionally have a rotary plate32(as shown in theFIG. 4) to be located thereunder for aiding in driving the jets4, whereby the jets4are formed in a periodical rotation under the high speed driving of the device3and the fanned rib31.

To sum up, the present invention takes advantages of the jets synchronically driven by the quasi-blade device3in the fan-shaped cavity21and only one outlet231disposed on the funnel-shaped cavity23, whereby the jets4performing in a periodical rotation aid in conducting less water into the ring-shaped cavity22for saving the water. Furthermore, the configuration of the funnel-shaped cavity23facilitates to spray the water out of the outlet231in multiple directions, thereby achieving a strong water power as conventional showering nozzle without a water reducer.
