Improved showerhead assembly with secure locking mechanism for handheld showerhead
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230201857A1) describes a handheld showerhead assembly with several unique features. The assembly includes a handheld showerhead with a front face and multiple nozzles, as well as an elongate hollow handle. The handle has a tapered proximal end with a circumferential groove, and a channel connects the handle's proximal end to the nozzles for water transport. The assembly also includes a flexible hose connected to the handle's proximal end and a showerhead mount with a tapered tubular section. The tubular section has an opening that allows the hose to pass through and a circumferential slot with two holes at the ends. A locking clip, made of flexible material, resides within the circumferential slot and prevents the removal of the handle from the tubular section.
One notable feature of the showerhead assembly is the design of the handle's groove and the prong's engagement surface on the locking clip. The groove is circular and has a radius, while the engagement surface is concave and has the same radius of curvature as the groove. This design ensures a secure fit between the handle and the locking clip.
Another feature is the tapering of the handle's groove and the prong's engagement surfaces. As the handle is positioned within the tubular section of the mount, the engagement surfaces taper inwardly to fill the groove, providing additional stability and preventing any movement or dislodging of the handle.
The assembly also includes a coupling on the handle's proximal end for connecting the hose to the handheld showerhead. The coupling has a fastener, which can be a threaded fastener, for selectively connecting or disconnecting the hose. The coupling also features the circumferential groove, which is part of the locking mechanism.
The locking clip, which inhibits the removal of the handle from the tubular section, is made of either plastic or acetal resin. This material choice ensures flexibility, allowing the clip to flex outwardly when the handle is inserted or removed from the tubular section's interior.
Overall, this patented handheld showerhead assembly offers unique features such as the circular groove and concave engagement surface, tapering design, and flexible locking clip. These features contribute to a secure and stable connection between the handle and the mount, providing a reliable and user-friendly showering experience.
