Abstract
A liquid additive dispensing apparatus for dispensing a liquid additive into, above or adjacent to a shower stream emitted from a shower head including an additive reservoir, an additive dispensing conduit, with a valve, which extends from a lower portion of the additive reservoir, and a support having proximal and distal portions. The proximal portion of the support includes a mount adapted for mounting the support to a shower structure, such as the water supply pipe, shower head, a wall, or a curtain rod, and the distal portion is attached to the additive reservoir.

A liquid additive dispensing apparatus adapted for dispensing a liquid additive into, above or adjacent to a shower stream emitted from a shower head, comprising:
- an additive reservoir including an upper portion and a lower portion;
- an additive dispensing conduit extending from said additive reservoir, said additive dispensing conduit including a proximal end and a terminal end and a valve means;
- and
- a support means for supporting said additive reservoir in relation to the shower head such that liquid additive dispensed from said terminal end of said conduit will first mix with said shower stream downstream of said shower head, said support means including a proximal portion and a distal portion, wherein said distal portion is attached to said additive reservoir and wherein said proximal portion includes a mounting means adapted for mounting said support means to a shower structure.
A method of dispensing a liquid additive into, above or adjacent to a shower stream emitted from a shower head such that said liquid additive first mixes with said shower stream downstream of said shower head, said method comprising:
- attaching an additive reservoir to a support means;
- attaching said support means to a shower structure by a mounting means adapted for mounting to a shower structure;
- positioning an additive dispensing conduit such that it extends from the additive reservoir to a position in, above or adjacent to the shower stream emitted by said shower head;
- and
- engaging a valve in said additive dispensing conduit so as to dispense a liquid additive.
