Problems solved by technology

However, such systems have one or more disadvantages
For example, such systems often include relatively long conduits connecting the sprinkler head to the hand shower, which can result in significant water pressure loss and slow water discharge rates

Embodiment Construction

[0022] For the purposes of promoting and understanding the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, which will be described herein.

[0023] refer to figure 1 , shows an illustrative multifunctional low actuation force mode switching shower system 100 of the present invention. Shower system 100 is illustratively shown coupled to water supply conduit 102, which may be a conventional water supply conduit disposed within a building structure, such as a ceiling or wall (not shown), that receives water from a hot water source ( not shown) and cold water sources (not shown) respectively receive and combine the hot and cold water. Shower system 100 is illustratively shown as a shower head system, although in alternative embodiments, shower system 100 may be provided as a hand shower system. In either case, water supply conduit 102 delivers water to shower system 100 , which discharges water, illustratively at spray face...

Abstract

A shower system includes an inlet configured to receive water from a supply conduit and a plurality of spout outlets configured to discharge water from the shower system. A diverter is configured to receive water from the inlet and deliver water to the plurality of spout outlets, and the diverter is actuatable to change a water discharge mode of the plurality of spout outlets. A valve is configured to receive water from the inlet, and the valve is actuatable to a first position and a second position. A diverter actuator is configured to receive water from the valve in the second position. The diverter actuator is actuatable from an unactuated position to an actuated position upon receiving water from the valve, and the diverter actuator thereby actuates the diverter to change the water discharge mode of the plurality of spout outlets.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a multifunctional shower system, more particularly to a multifunctional shower system that facilitates low actuation force mode switching, and especially relates to a multifunctional shower system that facilitates low actuation force mode switching. Background technique [0002] The multi-function showerhead operates in different modes or selectively discharges different types of water streams (eg, circular stream, massage stream, soft stream, etc.) to suit different user preferences. Such showerheads are typically reconfigured to operate in a different mode, or a combination of different modes, by actuating the diverter. In some cases, the diverter is carried by the showerhead and is actuated by moving one portion relative to the other. However, relatively high forces (eg, 2.5 lbs (pounds) or more) typically need to be applied to actuate such diverters. This can be cumbersome for the user, and in some cases...
