A water, pump includes a driven portion, a shaft connected to the driven portion, an impeller connected to the shaft, and a body supporting the driven portion for relative rotation therewith. The water pump is characterized in that the driven portion and the shaft are formed integrally by resin molding, and an outer surface of the bearing is fixed to the driven portion.

A water jet is disclosed having a tank which forms a reservoir containing a liquid, such as water. An elongated conduit has one end fluidly connected to the reservoir while a nozzle is connected to the other end of the conduit. This nozzle, furthermore, has an opening with a cross-sectional area less than the cross-sectional area of the conduit. A valve is connected in series between the conduit and the reservoir, and this valve is movable between an open and a closed position. The reservoir is ...

A water pump includes a body, a fixing member to which the body is fixed hermetically via a gasket, and an impeller which is fixed to an end part of a shaft supported rotatably by the body and housed in a vortex chamber formed in the body or in the fixing member. Further, the impeller has a circular plate into which the end part of the shaft is inserted and a plurality of blades radially provided on the circular plate at one side facing the fixing member or the other side facing the body and pro...

A water heater including a water tank, a water inlet line for adding water to the water tank, a water outlet line for withdrawing water from the water tank, at least one electric resistance heating element extending into the water tank to heat water in the water tank, at least one water temperature sensor operable to sense a water temperature, and a control circuit capable of conducting electric power to the electric resistance heating element. The control circuit controls the conduction of elec...

A water purifier that assures easier change of a used filter comprises a base, at least one filter replaceably attached to the base and including a first end with a first fluid port and a second end with a second fluid port, a first connector supporting the first end of the filter in a separable manner and including a connector port connected to the first fluid port of the filter, a second connector spaced apart from the first connector to accomodate the filter therebetween and including a bore ...

A water fountain includes a basin, multiple water pumps in the space of the basin for pumping the water in the space, an annular disk securely supported by an inner face of the basin and having a centrally defined hole and multiple through holes in communication with the outlets of each of the water pumps via pipes such that water pumped by the water pumps is able to be ejected out of the annular disk from the through holes, a sphere securely supported by a periphery defining the hole of the ann...

A water outlet has a collector funnel for water to be drained from a roof surface or the like. A ring is fitted, with a groove and projection bayonet-type fixing, in the funnel, and thereby secures to the funnel a covering sheet or film. The sheet is intended to extend over an annular flange on the funnel, and be joined to the roof surface, to seal the outlet to the roof surface. The ring is preferably embedded in the sheet.

A water closet in which a substantial reduction in water use is accomplished by flushing liquid waste from the bowl using a high-pressure stream of water which passes through the bowl and into an S-trap. Solid material is flushed in the normal way. The high pressure stream occurs in two phases; a first phase which has high momentum and evacuates the bowl, and a second phase which has low momentum and refills and reseals the bowl.

An on-off water valve which is adapted to be removably fixed to the end of a water faucet which comprises a valve housing, a valve seat extending across the valve housing and dividing said housing into an upper and lower portion, said valve seat provided with a centrally disposed aperture therein, a valve stem extending axially through the valve housing and provided with a valve head which is slidably received by said aperture in a water-tight manner, and a control arm disposed from the outside ...

A water closet, in particular a water closet which is connected to a discharge vacuum conduit, comprises a container which is divided into a first and second compartment by means of a movable wall, the compartments being each connected by means of a conduit to either a source of water under pressure or the flushing device of the closet pan by the intermediary of a valve mechanism. On actuation of the valve mechanism the second compartment of the container is connected to the source of water unde...
