Abstract
A hand shower including a handle with a first waterway including an inlet portion and an outlet portion, the inlet portion configured to be fluidly coupled to a water supply. A shower head includes a second waterway having an inlet portion and an outlet portion. The inlet portion of the second waterway is fluidly coupled to the outlet portion of the first waterway, and the outlet portion of the second waterway includes a plurality of outlets configured to deliver water. The shower head is supported for rotation about a longitudinal axis of the handle between a first position and a second position angularly spaced from the first position.
Claims40
A hand shower comprising:
- a handle including a first waterway including an inlet portion and an outlet portion, the inlet portion configured to be fluidly coupled to a water supply;
- a shower head including a second waterway including an inlet portion and an outlet portion, the inlet portion fluidly coupled to the outlet portion of the first waterway, and the outlet portion including a plurality of outlets configured to delivery water at an oblique angle relative to the handle;
- and
- wherein the inlet portion of the second waterway is rotatably coupled to the outlet portion of the first waterway, such that the shower head rotates about a longitudinal axis of the handle between a first position and a second position angularly spaced from the first position.
A hand shower comprising:
- a handle including a base portion and a connecting portion defining a longitudinal connector axis;
- a shower head including a plurality of outlets configured to deliver water in a direction generally parallel to a water flow axis;
- and
- a connector rotatably coupling the shower head to the handle, wherein rotation of the shower head about the longitudinal connector axis alters the angular orientation of the water flow axis relative to the base portion of the handle.
A hand shower comprising:
- a handle including a base portion and a connecting portion defining a longitudinal connector axis;
- a shower head including a plurality of outlets configured to deliver water along a water flow axis, the shower head operably coupled to the handle for rotation about the longitudinal connector axis between a first position and a second position angularly spaced from the first position;
- and
- a detent device to releasably secure the shower head in one of the first position and the second position.
