Abstract
A shower assembly includes a base showerhead including a plurality of outlets and defining a longitudinal axis. Each of the outlets ejects a liquid in a respective direction at a respective angle relative to the longitudinal axis. A handheld shower is removably coupled to the base showerhead. When the handheld shower is removed from the base showerhead, the outlets of the base showerhead pivot.
Claims24
A shower assembly comprising:
- an external showerhead including a plurality of sections each having a faceplate with a plurality of outlets, the sections defining a central gap therebetween and defining a longitudinal axis, each of the outlets being configured to eject a liquid in a respective direction at a respective angle relative to the longitudinal axis;
- a handheld shower removably coupled to the external showerhead in the central gap;
- and
- a plurality of springs configured to bias the sections of the external showerhead against the handheld shower, such that when the handheld shower is removed from the external showerhead, each of the sections of the external showerhead pivot relative to the central gap.

A shower assembly comprising:
- a substantially annular external showerhead including a plurality of sections each having a plurality of outlets, the sections defining a central gap therebetween, the outlets being configured to eject a liquid in first directions;
- a handheld shower removably coupled to the external showerhead in the central gap;
- and
- a plurality of biasing members configured to bias the sections of the external showerhead against the handheld shower such that when the handheld shower is removed from the external showerhead, each of the sections of the external showerhead pivot such that the outlets eject the liquid in second directions, the second directions being more inward than the first directions relative to the central gap.
