Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a universal diverter for a shower cubicle, wherein six interfaces are provided, one of which is provided with a shower head, and furthermore, various personal hygiene and cleaning care devices and even other diverters can be connected.
Background
Shower cubicles are currently used for personal hygiene activities in general, in which hydraulic installations for shower heads are provided.
A typical configuration of a conventional shower head in a shower enclosure is by mounting a shower arm directly in the hydraulic network of the shower enclosure.
It has been observed that many other personal hygiene and cleaning care activities can be performed in the shower enclosure besides the average user, such as bathing young children, bathing elderly people or patients, flushing the shower enclosure with water from a shower head, etc. The conventional arrangement of shower heads in the current shower room does not take these water conditions into consideration.
The invention is therefore intended to protect a universal diverter in which six interfaces are provided, a shower arm and a spherical shower head for a shower head with integrated regulating valves, the subject matter of international patent applications PCT/MX2018/000032 and PCT/MX2018/000047, and other devices required by the user to which the nipples, pipes and diverters can be connected, including other universal diverters, each interface being used as a fluid inlet or outlet, the unused interfaces being stoppered by a plug, the interfaces being usable by removing the plug when ready for use. There is currently no record of such a universal diverter.
The features and details of such a universal diverter are set forth in more detail in the following description and the accompanying drawings.
