Interactive systems for consumers and associated methods
View Patent ↗A method of interacting with a component of a product at a display location is provided. The method includes moving a moveable assembly comprising a filtration device along a track component toward a stationary assembly mounted to a base. The track component guides the moveable assembly toward the adapter. The filtration device is connected to the adapter.
1. An interactive system, comprising:
a moveable assembly comprising a filtration device;
a stationary assembly mounted to a base comprising a pipe and an adapter mounted to the pipe; and
a track component mounted to the base that guides the moveable assembly, the track component being sized and located to provide a closed track portion along which the moveable assembly can move toward the adapter to connect the filtration device to the adapter and away from the adapter toward an initial position.
2. The interactive system of claim 1 , wherein the track component is a mounting rod, the filtration device including an opening that slidingly receives the mounting rod.
3. The interactive system of claim 2 , wherein a free end of the mounting rod is located in the adapter.
4. The interactive system of claim 1 , wherein the pipe is in the form of a faucet head.
5. The interactive system of claim 1 , wherein the adapter is a faucet outlet adapter, the filtration device including a filtration device inlet adapter configured to releasably mate with the faucet outlet adapter.
6. The interactive system of claim 5 further comprising a release mechanism that releases the filtration inlet adapter from the faucet outlet adapter.
7. The interactive system of claim 5 further comprising a guiding member guided by the track component that moves independently of the filtration device when the filtration device inlet adapter is connected to the faucet outlet adapter.
8. The interactive system of claim 5 further comprising a guiding member that is connected to the filtration device.
9. An interactive system, comprising:
a moveable assembly comprising a filtration device;
a stationary assembly mounted to a base comprising a faucet head and an adapter mounted to the faucet head; and
a mounting rod mounted to the base and slidingly received by the filtration device such that the filtration device moves along a length of the mounting rod, the mounting rod having an end that is received by the adapter.
10. The interactive system of claim 9 , wherein the adapter is a faucet outlet adapter, the filtration device including a filtration device inlet adapter configured to releasably mate with the faucet outlet adapter.
11. The interactive system of claim 10 further comprising a release mechanism that releases the filtration inlet adapter from the faucet outlet adapter.
12. The interactive system of claim 10 further comprising a guiding member guided by the mounting rod that moves independently of the filtration device when the filtration device inlet adapter is connected to the faucet outlet adapter.
13. The interactive system of claim 9 , wherein the mounting rod is powder coated blue in color.
