Abstract
For use in a conventional shower, a body shower kit providing a pair of laterally spaced lower spray heads located down from the usual shower head and connected to the latter's water supply pipe extending out from the shower wall by a conduit assembly whose geometry avoids physical interference between the kit and the control valve or valves for the usual shower head.
Claims21
A body shower kit for use in a shower installation having an upstanding wall, a shower head spaced in front of said wall, a water supply pipe for said shower head extending out from said wall to said shower head, and a manual valve control means for controlling the water supply to said pipe and extending in front of said wall below said pipe, comprising:
- a T-coupling located between said pipe and said shower bead having a dependency leg;
- a flexible conduit connected to said leg of said coupling, a swivel connector attaching said leg to said flexible conduit to pass water therefrom, said flexible conduit extending rearward toward said wall and downward from said coupling;
- a pair of lower shower heads positioned downward from said coupling and located laterally outward from said valve control means on opposite sides thereof;
- and
- and conduit means connecting said flexible conduit to both said lower shower heads and extending with a clearance past said valve control means.
A body shower kit for use in a shower installation having an upstanding wall, a shower head spaced in front of said wall, a water supply pipe for said shower head extending out from said wall to said shower head, and a manual valve control means which has hot and cold water controls laterally spaced apart on said wall for controlling the water supply to said pipe and extending in front of said wall below said pipe, comprising:
- a coupling located between said pipe and said shower head;
- a conduit operatively connected to said coupling to pass water therefrom, said conduit extending substantially downward from said coupling;
- a pair of lower shower heads positioned downward from said coupling and located laterally outward from said valve control means on opposite sides thereof;
- and conduit means connecting said conduit to both said lower shower heads and extending with a clearance past said valve control means;
- and
- wherein said conduit means presents an inverted T shape with a vertical leg passing between said hot and cold water controls and a pair of horizontal lower arms extending laterally outward in opposite directions from the lower end of said vertical leg and respectively passing under said hot and cold water controls, and said lower shower beads arc on the outer ends of said lower arms.
A body shower kit for use in a shower installation having an upstanding wall, a shower head spaced in front of said wall, a water supply pipe for said shower head extending out from said wall to said shower head, and a manual valve control means which has a single mixing valve control on said wall for controlling the water supply to said pipe and extending in front of said wall below said pipe, comprising:
- a coupling located between said pipe and said shower head;
- a conduit operatively connected to said coupling to pass water therefrom, said conduit extending substantially downward from said coupling;
- a pair of lower shower heads positioned downward from said coupling and located laterally outward from said valve control means on opposite sides thereof;
- and conduit means connecting said flexible conduit to both said lower shower heads and extending with a clearance past said valve control means;
- and
- wherein said conduit means presents an inverted Y shape extending over the top of said single control and passing down on opposite sides thereof and a pair of lower arms extending laterally outward in opposite directions, and said lower shower heads are on the outer ends of said lower arms.
A body shower kit for use in a shower installation having an upstanding wall, a shower head spaced in front of said wall, a water supply pipe for said shower head extending out from said wall to said shower head, and a manual valve control means which has hot and cold water controls laterally spaced apart on said wall for controlling the water supply to said pipe and extending in front of said wall below said pipe, comprising:
- a coupling located between said pipe and said shower head;
- a flexible conduit operatively connected to said coupling to pass water therefrom, said flexible conduit extending rearward toward said wall and downward from said coupling;
- a pair of lower shower heads positioned downward from said coupling and located laterally outward from said valve control means on opposite sides thereof;
- and conduit means connecting said flexible conduit to both said lower shower heads and extending with a clearance past said valve control means;
- and
- wherein said conduit means presents an inverted T shape with a vertical leg passing between said hot and cold water controls and a pair of horizontal lower arms extending laterally outward in opposite directions from the lower end of said vertical leg and respectively passing under said hot and cold water controls, and said lower shower heads are on the outer ends of said lower arms.
A body shower kit for use in a shower installation having an upstanding wall, a shower head spaced in front of said wall, a water supply pipe for said shower head extending out from said wall to said shower head, and a manual valve control means which has a single mixing valve control on said wall for controlling the water supply to said pipe and extending in front of said wall below said pipe, comprising:
- a coupling located between said pipe and said shower head;
- a flexible conduit operatively connected to said coupling to pass water therefrom, said flexible conduit extending rearward toward said wail and downward from said coupling;
- a pair of lower shower heads positioned downward from said coupling and located laterally outward from said valve control means on opposite sides thereof;
- and conduit means connecting said flexible conduit to both said lower shower heads and extending with a clearance past said valve control means;
- and
- wherein said conduit means presents an inverted Y shape extending over the top of said single control and passing down on opposite sides thereof and a pair of lower arms extending laterally outward in opposite directions, and said lower shower heads are on the outer ends of said lower arms.
