Abstract
The present invention is a display apparatus for affixation to shower head, bath or sink faucet water supply piping or incorporated within a shower, or bath or faucet head. The display apparatus includes a power generation, CPU or microprocessor, temperature sensor and/or water flow sensors, timing circuits, and audio or verbal communication means and a display means. The present invention can position some components remotely from other components that communicate by wired or wireless means. The communication means is designed 1) to detect and respond to audio signals or verbal instructions or commands and/or 2) annunciate audio signals or verbal messages.
Claims28
A shower or a bath or sink faucet head including a water parameter display apparatus, said water parameter display apparatus, comprising:
- a union mechanism for connecting a display means to a shower, bath or faucet head water supply line, said union mechanism having a wired or wireless electrical communication means extending from said union mechanism to a body containing said display means;
- said display means including electrical circuitry, a microprocessor, and power supply, said display means having the capability to visually display one or more water parameters;
- at least one sensor that is said sensor in close proximity to said water supply, and said sensor in electrical communication with said electrical circuitry;
- and
- a verbal or audio communication means design to communicate with said electrical circuitry and said microprocessor for processing certain operational instructions.
A shower or a bath or faucet body incorporating a water parameter display assembly comprising a water parameter apparatus, said water parameter apparatus comprising:
- a shower, bath or faucet body;
- a display means incorporated within said body, said display means having the capability to visually display one or more water parameters from a display;
- electrical circuitry with a power source;
- a microprocessor, said microprocessor in electrical communication with said electrical circuitry;
- at least one sensor that is said sensor in close proximity to said water supply, and said sensor in electrical communication with said electrical circuitry;
- and
- a verbal or audio communication means design to communicate with said electrical circuitry and said microprocessor for processing certain operational instructions.
A water control/annunciating apparatus for attaching to the water supply line comprising:
- electrical circuitry with a power source;
- a microprocessor, said microprocessor in electrical communication with said electrical circuitry;
- at least one sensor that is said sensor in close proximity to said water supply, and said sensor in electrical communication with said electrical circuitry;
- and
- a verbal or audio communication means design to communicate with said electrical circuitry and said microprocessor for processing certain operational instructions.
The water control/annunciating apparatus of claim 21, wherein said audio signal or verbal instruction “on” turns on the supply water.
