The present invention relates generally to attachments for faucets to enable a user to comfortably rinse his or her face.
An object of the present invention is to enable consumers with an improved solution to rinse his or her face while reducing or eliminating complexity and water overflow on clothing, counters, and floors. This invention will enable consumers with an easily set up and dismantling option to remove soap, face wash, shaving cream, dirt and debris, as well as any other thinkable items from the face, neck, or head region. Product should be comfortable to the user and positioned at an angle such to prevent back or neck pain.
In accordance with embodiments of the invention, a portable face rinsing faucet attachment is provided. The portable face rinsing faucet attachment includes a body. An intake channel is operable for attachment to a faucet to receive pressurized water from the faucet. A flow path is defined by the body and is in fluid communication with the intake channel. The flow path is operable to receive pressurized water from the intake channel. A plurality of spray channels is defined by the body and is operable to receive and pressurize water from the flow path. A plurality of spray holes is defined by the spray channels and is operable to receive and spray water from said spray channels. A drain is defined by the body.
In one embodiment, the intake channel is operable to build fluid pressure within said intake channel.
In one embodiment, the intake channel is conical in shape.
In one embodiment, each spray channel of the plurality of spray channels includes an elongate. A spray channel conduit is defined by the elongate. A spray channel inlet is operable to enable the spray channel conduit to receive water from the flow path. A wall is disposed at the end of the elongate and is operable to create fluid pressure buildup of water flowing into the spray channel conduit.
In one embodiment, at least one spray channel of the plurality of spray channels further includes a second spray channel inlet and a second wall disposed at a second end of said elongate.
The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention are apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like parts are given like reference numerals and, wherein:
The images in the drawings are simplified for illustrative purposes and are not depicted to scale. Within the descriptions of the figures, similar elements are provided similar names and reference numerals as those of the previous figure(s). The specific numerals assigned to the elements are provided solely to aid in the description and are not meant to imply any limitations (structural or functional) on the invention.
The appended drawings illustrate exemplary configurations of the invention and, as such, should not be considered as limiting the scope of the invention that may admit to other equally effective configurations. It is contemplated that features of one configuration may be beneficially incorporated in other configurations without further recitation.
The embodiments of the disclosure will be best understood by reference to the drawings, wherein like parts are designated by like numerals throughout. It will be readily understood that the components, as generally described and illustrated in the Figures herein, could be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations or be entirely separate. Thus, the following more detailed description of the embodiments of the system and method of the disclosure, as represented in the Figures is not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure, as claimed, but is merely representative of possible embodiments of the disclosure.
In accordance with embodiments of the invention, a portable face rinsing faucet attachment 100 is provided, as illustrated in
In one embodiment, the intake channel 104 is operable to build fluid pressure within the intake channel 104. The intake channel 104 may include a reducer coupler, as illustrated in the Figures, or be conical in shape, for example. In one embodiment, the intake channel 104 is operable to tilt the device 30-40 degrees relative to the faucet 106.
In one embodiment, as illustrated in
In one embodiment, as illustrated in
In the embodiment illustrated in the Figures, the portable face rinsing faucet attachment 100 includes a cushion 124 disposed along an outer rim 126 of the body 102. The cushion 124 is operable for a user to rest his or her face while washing their face.
In operation, the portable face rinsing faucet attachment 100 enables an easier way to rinse the face of a person following a soap or chemical wash by eliminating the need to use hands, splashing, or spraying with a hose. In embodiments of the invention, the device is operable to attach to any faucet with a tightening clamp or tie wrap to provide a watertight seal around the faucet 106. As illustrated by the directional arrows in
For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference has been made to the preferred embodiments illustrated in the drawings, and specific language has been used to describe these embodiments. However, this specific language intends no limitation of the scope of the invention, and the invention should be construed to encompass all embodiments that would normally occur to one of ordinary skill in the art. The particular implementations shown and described herein are illustrative examples of the invention and are not intended to otherwise limit the scope of the invention in any way. For the sake of brevity, conventional aspects of the system (and components of the individual operating components of the system) may not be described in detail. Furthermore, the connecting lines, or connectors shown in the various figures presented are intended to represent exemplary functional relationships and/or physical or logical couplings between the various elements. It should be noted that many alternative or additional functional relationships, physical connections or logical connections may be present in a practical device. Moreover, no item or component is essential to the practice of the invention unless the element is specifically described as “essential” or “critical”. Numerous modifications and adaptations will be readily apparent to those skilled in this art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/025,598, filed May 15, 2020, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference as if fully disclosed herein.
