Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a shower-bath water delivery apparatus of the type generally known also by the term "douche" and comprising a spray head connected to a flexible water-supply hose through a conduit housed in a handle.
  • Such water delivery apparatuses are generally known to be usually associated with support means adapted to slide along a vertical wall-mounted rod and lockable with respect thereto by screw-type or similar locking mechanisms.
  • the water delivery apparatus can be either directly hand-held by a person or be hung to its support means in a position that can be adjusted to any suitable height.
  • the shower-bath water delivery apparatus is illustrated to mainly include a water spray head 1, preferably of the adjustable type, which is connected to to a flexible water supply hose 2 through a conduit 3 housed in a handle 4.
  • the flexible hose 2 is connected by means of a threaded ring nut 5 to the upper end portion 6 of a substantially rectilinear rigid pipe 7 extending longitudinally within the handle 4.
  • the opposite end portion 8 of said rigid pipe 7 is preferably closed by a cup-like threaded element 9.
  • the rigid pipe 7 comprises an integrally formed transversal offshoot 10, preferably adjacent to the above mentioned end portion 6, downstream of which the pipe 7 is provided with an inner closing rib 11.
  • the conduit 3 is substantially formed by the transversal offshoot 10 and that portion of the pipe 7 which lies upstream of the rib 11.
  • the water spray head 1 comprises an end portion 12 having a partially spherical surface, by means of which it is mounted in a swivelling manner on the free end portion of the transversal offshoot 10, which is innerly shaped in a corresponding manner, by means of a threaded locking ring 13.
  • the water spray head 1 is not connected to the rigid pipe 7 in a straight, butt-joint like manner, but is on the contrary arranged laterally with respect thereto, in correspondence of the transversal offshoot 10.
  • the water delivery apparatus must normally operate in its vertical position, so as illustrated in the Figures, so that the sealing rib 11 is able to most advantageously prevent water from stagnating in the portion of rigid pipe 7 which lies downstream of the same rib.
  • At least a part of the handle 4, which is more clearly illustrated in the Figures 2 and 3, can be made of suitably overmoulded soft rubber or similar material so as to substantially enclose the rigid pipe 7 with its offshoot 10. Thanks to the flexibility of such a material, in correspondence of the end portion 6 of the pipe 7 the handle 4 can most easily be enlarged elastically in order to allow for the introduction of the locking nut 5 and, therefore, the connection of the flexible hose 2 with the rigid pipe 7.
  • the water delivery apparatus is associated with simple wall-mount support means which most advantageously do not include any protruding element.
  • support means include at least a substantially vertical groove 14, which is provided in a wall 15, to which the handle 4 is capable of being attached in a removable manner in a position that can be selectively varied longitudinally.
  • the water delivery apparatus would not require the provision of special means for it to be locked in position in the groove 14, which may be rectilinear and uniform.
  • the groove 14 and the flexible handle 4 in their cross-section dimension, it is in fact possible, by exerting a slight pressure thereupon, for the same handle to get attached longitudinally in the groove 14 by interference through elastic deformation, as shown in Figure 4.
  • the water delivery apparatus can be easily and conveniently seized and held by its handle 4 which is preferably given an ergonomic shape.
  • the water delivery apparatus may be wall-mounted to an adjustable height, ie. in a position that can be varied longitudinally at will, ie. as desired, with respect to the groove 14 in the wall 15.
  • the adjustment of the height of the water delivery apparatus can be carried out by either letting the handle 4 to longitudinally slide along the groove 14 or pulling out the handle from the groove and, while exerting a slight pressure thereupon, re-attaching it in a different position in the same groove.
  • the operations involved in attaching and removing elastically the handle 4 to and from the support groove 14 may be further facilitated by integrally providing at least a pair of projections 16, 17 substantially opposing each other on the side surface of the handle.
  • Such projections would in fact minimize the surface of interference between the handle 4 and the groove 14, thereby advantageously reducing the effort which the user is requested to apply when carrying out said operations for attaching and detaching the handle.
  • the handle 4 may be attached longitudinally in the groove 14 by the interference of the shapes.
  • the handle may be made of a rigid, instead of a soft or flexible material.
  • the interference of shapes with the groove 14 is preferably obtained by making use of the projections 16, 17 of the handle 4.
  • the handle 4 may be locked in the groove 14, in a position that can be selectively varied longitudinally, by means of attachment provisions arranged at discrete levels, which may for instance be formed by a plurality of appropriately shaped support recesses 18 provided laterally in the groove 14 and adapted to loosely accomodate the projections 16, 17 of the handle, so as to support the whole water delivery apparatus.
  • both the projections 16, 17 of the handle 4 and the support recesses 18 of the groove 14 are provided in a two-by-two, side-by-side arrangement.
  • the flexible water supply hose 2 may be connected, via the threaded coupling ring 5, to the lower end portion 8 of the rigid pipe 7.
  • the threaded cup-like sealing element 9 will close the upper end portion 6 of the rigid pipe 7.
  • the rib 11 may on the contrary be omitted, or it may be provided in a different, higher position, ie. downstream of the offshoot 10 with respect to the water supply hose 2.
  • the conduit 3 will be formed by the offshoot 10 and that portion of rigid pipe 7 which connects the same offshoot with the flexible water supply hose 2.
  • the water delivery apparatus according to the present invention may be selectively attached in the groove 14 in a combined manner, ie. by both interference of shapes and elastic deformation.
  • only the walls of the groove 14 or, alternatively, also the walls of the groove 14 may be made of an appropriate flexible material facilitating said interference coupling by elastic deformation.
