Embodiment Construction

[0074] figure 1 The device 11 shown is capable of expelling a fixed amount of fluid, such as water, from the inlet 13 through the outlet 12 before the flow of fluid through the outlet 12 drops substantially. The result is that water droplets flow through the outlet 12 . When the device 11 is secured to the outlet of a shower head and the tap is turned on, a fixed volume of water is expelled through the device and the flow of water is then effectively shut off, allowing only water droplets to pass through the outlet. By turning off the tap and turning it on again, the unit is automatically reset and another volume of water can be expelled through the shower spout before the flow is reduced to droplets.

[0075] Such as figure 1 As shown, device 11 includes a generally cylindrical housing 14 having a main interior chamber 15 .

[0076] A cylindrical inlet chamber 16 is arranged around the inlet 13 and around the circumference of the inlet chamber 16 there is also an annular c...

Abstract

An apparatus for controlling fluid flow comprising a main chamber having an inlet and an outlet, a control member movable between a start position where the outlet is open and a finish position where the outlet is at least partially closed, an urging means for urging the control member to the start position and trickle means for allowing a trickle of fluid to exit the outlet when the control member is in the finish position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a water-saving device, which is especially suitable for domestic water use. Background technique [0002] According to one application, the present invention relates to an apparatus or apparatus for controlling the discharge of water from a water outlet, such as a tap or a shower. [0003] In Australia and other countries, drought is a common climate phenomenon in many areas, and water management, especially water conservation, is particularly important. [0004] In typical domestic situations, water is drained from the central locality and consumption is metered. However, even when water is restricted during a drought, it can be difficult for the occupants of the house to monitor their water consumption. [0005] If it is desired to control the amount of water used to irrigate the garden, devices exist which include a valve with a timed switch which can be controlled to cut off the water supply after the desired time has ela...
