An attractive portable air cleaner effectively purifies air in a room or office for added comfort and a healthier environment. Instead of using expensive custom-made filters, the air cleaner uses regular toilet paper or paper towels for customer convenience and lower customer costs. A quiet blower system circulates air through the air cleaner. Ion emitters are positioned near the intake and collector plates support and charge the paper media.

A safe cordless telephone with a hands-free speakerphone is provided for use in showers or when taking a bath. The user-friendly cordless telephone can be readily attached and removed from any portion of the shower/bath unit, such as: a shower wall, shower door, sliding shower panel, towel rack, bracket, holder, or shower head pipe. The shower speaker telephone can also have a radio, interom, clock, and a display window to display the telephone numbers of outgoing and/or incoming telephone calls. The dependable cordless telephone is made of an impact-resistant plastic capable of withstanding water pressure and is insulated to prevent electrical shock. A water-resistant antenna extends upwardly from the telephone housing. A battery seal is positioned about the battery chamber to prevent water from entering into the battery chamber. An elastomeric gasket is snugly positioned about the front and back of the handset to prevent water from entering into the interior of the handset and shorting the telephone circuitry. The base unit is located away from the shower and has a base antenna and a battery charger, as well as other features.

A safe cordless telephone is provided for use in showers. The user-friendly cordless telephone can also be used when taking a bath or outside when it is raining. The dependable cordless comprises a special portable cordless handset with a water-resistant housing that provides a handset body. The handset body is made of an impact-resistant plastic capable of withstanding water pressure and is insulated to prevent electrical shock. A water-resistant antenna extends upwardly from the handset. A battery seal is positioned about the battery chamber to prevent water from entering into the battery chamber. An elastomeric rib is snugly positioned about the front and back of the handset to prevent water from entering into the interior of the handset and shorting the telephone circuitry. The earpiece and mouthpiece of the handset can also have water impermeable membranes to prevent water from passing into the earpiece and mouthpiece of the handset. The back of the handset can have discs or segments to enhance gripping of the handset and prevent slippage of the handset in a shower. The front of the handset can also have a thumb-engaging depression to facilitate gripping of the handset in a shower. The base unit is located away from the shower and has a base antenna and a battery charger, as well as other features.

Sootless ionizers are provided which greatly reduce the accumulation of ugly black soot on and about the ionizers and adjacent walls or ceiling in the room in which the air is being purified. To this end, the dependable improved ionizers are specially arranged to provide air channels which direct the flow of air past the needles or other ion emitters so that the ions are dispersed through the room for enhanced air purification and the ionized particles are prevented (blown away) from being collected in the ionizers. In one embodiment, the improved ionizers include a plug-in ionizer (PI-1) with an upwardly converging air channel, a curved deflector, and upper and lower sets of air channeling ribs to direct the flow of air past the ion emitters and way from the ionizers. In a second embodiment, the improved ionizer comprises a plug-in ionizer (PI-2) which is similar to the first plug-in ionizer (PI-1) except that it has a single elongated set of air channeling ribs and a motor driven fan to increase air flow. In a third embodiment, the improved ionizers comprise an industrial ionizer with air channeling ribs to direct the flow of air past the ion emitters and away from the ionizers. The industrial ionizer is equipped with an ionizer circuit that substantially decreases or eliminates ammonia type gases in agricultural and industrial environments which provides a safer and healthier environment to work and live in.

A push button controlled multifunction shower head. The push button moves a pawl attached to spring biased slide, the pawl bearing against a ratchet wheel which is rotated through a predetermined arcuate step responsive to each push button operation. The ratchet wheel moves a shutter which directs water into a selected one of several races, each race being individually associated with a spray pattern. The shower head may be built into a hand held housing wherein the handle may be held and the push button may be operated by one hand.
