Abstract
The invention comprises, in one form thereof, a water circulator that connects to the pressurized water inlet in a swimming pool. Water from the pool is pumped through the pool's filter system and into the water circulator through the pool inlet. The water circulator includes a jet tube that is vertically oriented and proximate to the pool's side wall. The pressurized water exits the jet tube through several nozzles in the jet tube. The nozzles direct the pressurized water along the side wall to thereby direct debris toward the pool outlet. The pool outlet carries the debris and water to the pool's filter system. The nozzles direct the water away from the pool outlet so that the water current travels along the majority of the side wall before reaching the pool outlet. Thus, more debris may be picked up in the current and slower moving water passes the pool outlet. The jet tube further includes one or more outlets proximate to the pool floor. These outlets are directed towards the center of the pool so that the pressurized water stirs up debris and sediment on the floor.

7546646 - Shower head that can swivel freely - Owned by Horng Lai Industrial Co., Ltd. (Changhua Hsien,TW)

A shower head includes a main body, a locking member, a water inlet tube, a water outlet tube, a water outlet sleeve, and a retaining cap. Thus, the water outlet sleeve is freely rotatable relative to the main body to adjust the water outlet directions of the shower head so as to satisfy the user's practical requirements. In addition, the water outlet sleeve has an upper end formed with an annular flange rested on the first O-ring of the water outlet tube and a lower end having a resting edge rested on the second O-ring of the water outlet tube to reduce the friction during rotation of the water outlet sleeve, so that the water outlet sleeve is rotatable easily and smoothly.
