#The inventor provides a shower head in a preferred embodiment that imitates a handheld shower head that, in this example, utilizes the mechanism of a dual operation system of an embedded soap dispenser and water stream function of a shower head. The present invention is described in enabling detail in the following examples, which may represent more than one embodiment of the present invention.

#FIG. 1 is an elevation and perspective view of a closed shower head 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this example, shower head 100 is adapted to imitate a handheld shower head. Though, the example should not be interpreted as a limitation of the present invention. Other depictions for shower head 100 are possible and may also be considered according to one or more embodiments of the present invention. In this example, the inventor chooses to use the depiction of a handheld shower head in a preferred embodiment because of the mechanisms involved with the present invention. In one embodiment of the invention a rain shower head, dual shower head, any other type of shower head or faucet may be imitated without deserting from the overall scope of the present invention.

#In this example, the shower head 100 may include a spigot 101 accompanied with threads. The spigot 101 has a spigot entrance 110 to the hollow internal component of the spigot 101 for water passage. In this preferred embodiment, shower head 100 may include an obverse inferior handle section 102 and a posterior inferior handle section 103 for an inferior grip of the shower head 100. Directly above the obverse inferior handle section 102 and the posterior inferior handle section 103, in this example, the shower head 100 may include a sliding latch 104, a latch slot 109, a latch glide groove 108, a obverse seal 105, and a posterior seal 107. In this example of the shower head 100, the sliding latch 104 is directed upward 106 on the latch glide groove 108 and the latch slot 109, in a mechanism involved to cause the obverse seal 105 and posterior seal 107 to be released so that the handle of the shower head 100 could be opened at a given position of the handle.
