Abstract
An improved Bathroom Baton apparatus which includes an electronic package designed for a one-handed operation of the water supply mechanism utilizing a membrane protective push buttons, situated on the handle, and including an electronic. module which houses battery operated solenoid valves, and electronics to facilitate the operation of the solenoid valves and battery module, in order to supply the energy to operate the components in the housing. The housing would be remotely installed at the outlet of the water supply valve which supplies water to the toilet to which the Baton is connected. There would be further provided a mercury switch in the handle to interrupt power form the battery to the electronic module when the handle is in a certain position relative to the vertical position.
Claims10
A cleaning device, for use with a personal hygiene toiletry fixture, and a source of fresh water supplied to the toiletry fixture, the cleaning device comprising:
- a. an elongated tubing having two ends, a first end of the tubing adapted for connection to the fresh water source supplied to the toiletry fixture and a second end allowing water from the tubing;
- b. a hand-held handle mounted in fluid communication with said tubing;
- c. an electronic flow control module positioned in line with the water flow and apart:
- from the handle portion;
- and
- d. a switch operable on the handle portion for controlling the operation of the electronic flow control module through various operational modes of the apparatus;
- and
- e. a mercury switch which interrupts power from the direct current source to the electronic flow control module that is in electrical communication with the electronic flow control module when the handle portion is positioned more than 10 degrees or less than 10 degrees from the vertical position.
A cleaning device, for use with a personal hygiene toiletry fixture, and a source of fresh water supplied to the toiletry fixture, the cleaning device comprising:
- a. an elongated tubing having two ends, a first end of the tubing adapted for connection to the fresh water source supplied to the toiletry fixture and a second end allowing water from the tubing;
- b. a hand-held handle mounted in fluid communication with said tubing;
- c. a direct current-operated electric flow control valve module positioned in line with the fluid flow adjacent the first end of the tubing;
- d. an electrical switch located on the handle portion for controlling the flow of water through the electric flow control valve module by the functioning of the electronic flow control module, operating between a stop mode, a low flow mode, a high flow mode, and a resting mode as well as multiple operational modes in the design of the prescribed electrical circuitry;
- and
- e. a mercury switch which interrupts sower from the direct current source to components within the electronic control valve module that supply electrical current to the electric control valve module when the handle portion is positioned less than 10 degrees from the vertical.
A cleaning device operable with one hand, for use with a personal hygiene toiletry fixture, and a source of fresh water supplied to the toiletry fixture, the cleaning device comprising:
- a. an elongated tubing having two ends, a first end of the tubing adapted for connection to the fresh water source supplied to the toiletry fixture and a second end allowing water from the tubing for cleaning;
- b. a valving mechanism attaching the tubing to the fresh water source to the toilet fixture;
- c. a hand-held handle mounted along the tubing and in fluid communication with said tubing;
- d. a battery-operated electronic flow control module positioned in communication with the valving mechanism to control water flow through the tubing;
- e. a switch operable on the handle portion for controlling the flow of water through the electronic flow control module between a stop mode, a low mode, a high mode, a resting mode and multiple operational modes;
- and
- f. a mercury switch positioned on the handle which interrupts power from the battery to the electronic control valve when the handle portion is positioned less than 10 degrees from the vertical.
