Abstract
A combination hand held shower head and filter assembly for attachment to a waterline to remove chlorine and other substances from water. This assembly includes filter media held in a two-stage bed of ceramic-type calcium sulfite beads and a copper/zinc material in an internal chamber formed in an elongated, hollow handle. The combination elongated handle and filter assembly is held in a shower head having an angled portion threadably held on the combination elongated handle and filter assembly.

A hand held shower assembly, comprising:
- an elongated, hollow body to be held in a hand;
- the elongated, hollow body having an elongated internal chamber formed therein between a first end and a second end to allow fluid to flow into and out of said elongated, internal chamber;
- said elongated, hollow body to be held in a hand being cylindrical, with the first end forming an outlet, and the second end forming an inlet;
- filter media held in said elongated, internal chamber by screens in the inlet and the outlet;
- the first end and the second end having screw threads formed thereon;
- and
- a shower head secured at an angle to the screw threads formed on the first end, and covering the first end down to a flange formed on the elongated, hollow body.
A hand held shower assembly for removing chlorine from hot shower water, comprising:
- an elongated, hollow body having an elongated, internal chamber formed between a larger first open end and a smaller second open end;
- screw threads formed on an exterior surface of said elongated, hollow body at said larger first open end and said smaller second open end;
- the elongated, internal chamber being tapered so as to narrow from the larger first open end to the smaller second open end;
- a separate, upper portion comprised of an angled shower head and a curved conduit secured to said screw threads at said larger, first open end;
- and
- filter media held in said elongated, internal chamber by screen elements held adjacent to said larger first open end and said smaller second open end.
A combination hand held shower head assembly and filter for removing chlorine from hot shower water, comprising:
- an elongated, tapered, hollow handle to be held in a hand, having an elongated, tapered, internal chamber formed therein;
- a first, larger open end of said elongated, tapered, hollow handle, to be held in a hand, having external screw threads formed thereon with a sealing element held therein;
- a second, smaller open end of said elongated, tapered, hollow handle to be held in a hand, having external screw threads formed thereon;
- the shower head comprised of an upper portion which is angled and has a curved, internal conduit having internal screw threads formed in an internal passage;
- the shower head being secured to said first, larger open end by said internal screw threads and said external screw threads on said first, larger open end;
- and
- filter media held in said elongated, tapered, internal chamber by a pair of screens held in said elongated, tapered, internal chamber adjacent said first, larger open end and said second smaller open end;
- and said filter media being internally divided into two stages by a further screen held in said elongated, tapered, internal chamber.
