An improved shower sprayer is provided which includes an oscillating head to provide improved water coverage for a shower user. The valve may include a base, at least one oscillating sprayer head supported by the base and a turbine system driven by a current of water fro a water source. The turbine system actuates the oscillating sprayer head.

Oscillating shower sprayer

A dispenser for premoistened wipes having a removable tray. The dispenser includes a housing which may include a frame and a cover. The housing defines an interior space in which the premoistened wipes may be placed. A removable tray having a liquid retaining receptacle portion may be positioned below the interior space and wipes. The tray may also include a raised portion having a support surface for the premoistened wipes. The raised portion may be formed by a plurality of ribs, guide rolls or a combination thereof. The tray may also include a grip to facilitate its insertion and removal from the dispenser. The premoistened wipes may be dispensed by passing the wipes through a gap between two dispenser rollers. The dispenser may also include an impingement edge which extends adjacent the two dispensing rollers. The impingement edge has a central portion which is located at a first relative position with respect to the dispenser rollers and two outer portions which are located at relative positions which differ from that of the central portion. The dispenser may also include a support for a roll of conventional dry bathroom tissue.

Dispenser and tray for premoistened wipes

A dispensing system and method for premoistened wipes. The dispensing system includes first and second longitudinally extending dispensing guides. The first guide is positioned substantially parallel and in proximity to the second guide to define a gap. The dispensing guides may each be rotatable about a longitudinally extending axis and comprise cylinders having a plurality of lands and grooves. The wipes are dispensed by passage through the gap and a dispensing opening having an edge which is defined in part by an impingement surface. The impingement surface has a first outer portion, a second outer portion and a central portion positioned between the two outer portions. The impingement surface is configured whereby the outer portions of the impingement surface more forcibly engage the wipe into engagement with the dispensing guides than the central portion of the impingement surface. This helps to maintain the wipes in a substantially flat condition as they are dispensed and prevents the &ldquo;bunching up&rdquo; of the wipe. The dispensing of the wipes with such a system may involve engaging a wipe with the impingement surface where outer portions of the impingement surface extend a greater distance than the central portion in a direction impinging on the wipe. The two outer portions of the impingement surface engage the wipe in areas adjacent opposite side edges of the wipe.
