Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION INNOVATION PATENT IN-LINE WATER SAVER CONTROLLER The following statement is a full description of this innovation, including the best method of achieving the desired results known to me:
C
C
In-Line Water Saver Controller 0 Generally most people, when soaping themselves whilst showering, allow the water to flow continuously.
rhey appear reluctant to turn off the water because it is difficult to regulate the temperature when the water is turned back on, thus resulting in scalding. At present, when the water temperature is set, the water is allowed 0 to run until the showering is finished. This suggests that the present "2Tap (hot/cold) mixer assembly" o Jiscourages people from turning the taps off whilst soaping themselves.
o rhis continuous flow of water increases wastage of water and energy, generating exorbitant energy and water osts.
o rhe innovation of an in-line water saver controller addresses this wastage and the shortcomings of the shower 0 c- mixers that are presently in use. It focuses on improving the "2Tap (hot/cold) shower mixer assembly" which is in use in most bathrooms.
My solution to the wastage and shortcomings is to install an 'Externally Mounted' in-line water saver ontroller into the existing 2Tap mixer assembly, which will benefit both the consumer and the environment as cited in Claims 1- 4. (see page 2) ro achieve the maximum benefit from the manually operated in-line water saver controller (Fig the installation procedure is as follows:- Close existing 'Hot/Cold' shower taps.
Unscrew shower rose adjustable arm socket from V2" nipple protruding from wall. (Fig 1) Screw V2" female end of controller onto protruding wall nipple.
Screw adjustable arm socket onto 1/2" male nipple of controller. (Fig 2) Position controller handle (Fig 2a) in open position.
Open existing Hot/Cold shower taps and set desired water temperature.
When the desired temperature is reached, turn controller handle to off/shut position.
The "In-Line controller lever" must now be the only method by which the water flow is controlled.
The single lever open/shut operation would be of enormous benefit to the user.
Claims (3)
1. The in-line water saver controller (in Fig could either be a I -piece or 2-piece 316 O stainless steel or brass body ball valve or a manufactured item of similar design and material with a 1/2" BSP female inlet and 2" BSP male outlet with teflon seats and a flat bar lever for O O easy open/shut operation. (Fig 2a) O
2. The controller of Claim 1 has five stand-out features which are as follows: O e Externally attached to existing 2 tap (Hot/Cold) mixer assembly o Enormous energy and water saving when used correctly e Reduced water bills e The danger of scalding and temperature fluctuation is eliminated 9 User friendly open/shut lever
3. Maintenance free inclusion of Claim 1 1. The in-line water saver controller of Claims 1-3 makes it an extremely cost effective innovation. AN APPLICANT 02 February 2009 PATRICK FRED BLAIR
