Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a method of producing a massaging spray mode for a showerhead. The method includes fluidly connecting a plurality of nozzles to a fluid source where each of the first plurality of nozzles are opened substantially simultaneously and fluidly disconnecting the first plurality of nozzles from the fluid source where each of the nozzles within the first plurality of nozzles are closed substantially simultaneously. Additionally, the present disclosure is related to a method of assembling a showerhead. The method includes connecting together two or more flow directing plates to create an engine for the showerhead; placing the engine within a spray head a number of degrees out of phase from an operational orientation; rotating the engine the number of degrees into the operational orientation; and connecting the engine to the spray head by a fastener received through a back wall of the spray head.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes embodiments directed to a showerhead. In some of the embodiments, the showerhead includes a housing defining a chamber in fluid communication with a fluid inlet such as a water source, a first bank of nozzles, and a second bank of nozzles. The showerhead also includes a massage mode assembly that is at least partially received within the chamber. The massage mode assembly includes a turbine, a cam connected to or formed integrally with the turbine, and a shutter connected to the cam. With the structure of the massage mode assembly, the movement of the shutter is restricted along a single axis such that as the turbine rotates, the cam causes the shutter to alternatingly fluidly connect and disconnect the first bank of nozzles and the second bank of nozzles from the fluid inlet.

Abstract: A showerhead assembly including a handheld showerhead and a mounting bracket configured to be fluidly coupled to a water source. One of the handheld showerhead and the mounting bracket includes a magnet or a magnetically attractable material, and the other of the handheld showerhead and the mounting bracket includes a magnet or a magnetically attractable material. The magnet of the one of the handheld showerhead or the mounting bracket, or the magnet or the magnetically attractable material of the other of the handheld showerhead or the mounting bracket, is moveable relative to the handheld showerhead or the mounting bracket to which it is included by attraction of the magnet of the one of the handheld showerhead and the mounting bracket to the magnet or the magnetically attractable material of the other of the handheld showerhead and the mounting bracket.

Abstract: A showerhead is disclosed including a first nozzle, a second nozzle, and a massage mode assembly in fluid communication with a fluid inlet, the first nozzle and the second nozzle. The massage mode assembly includes a turbine, a cam coupled to the turbine defining a dwell edge that extends between a leading corner and a follower corner, and a shutter movably coupled to the cam, where movement of the turbine causes the cam to drive shutter between a first position covering the first nozzle and opening the second nozzle and a second position opening the first nozzle and covering the second nozzle.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a showerhead that outputs a pulsating or massaging spray. The showerhead may include an engine including a flow directing housing, a turbine, and a shutter to create the pulsating or intermittent spray. The flow directing housing may have a plurality of flow directing apertures defined around its perimeter, allowing for water to tangentially flow into the engine, rotating the turbine. As the turbine rotates, the shutter moves back and forth creating the pulsating spray.
