Definitions
- the present invention relates to a variable-configuration shower.
- traditional showers are substantially of two kinds, i.e., a first kind, in which the head is fixed to the internal wall of the shower enclosure and accordingly cannot be moved from its position, and a second kind, in which the head is associated with a flexible hose so that it can be used in the position chosen at the user's discretion.
- showers of the first type are of course very inflexible to use, since it is not possible to direct the jet of water except by small variations of the inclination of the head; showers of the second type, instead, although allowing to use the head in the chosen position, require supports, such as slide bars and the like, which are installed inside the shower enclosure for the head in situations in which the head is used in a fixed position or in which both hands are busy and the head cannot be held.
- the aim of the present invention is to obviate the cited drawbacks, by providing a variable-configuration shower which allows at the same time to use the water head in the fixed position and likewise in any chosen position to spray specific parts of the body without needing the installation of slide bars or the like.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a variable-configuration shower which is simple, quick and cheap to install.

- the reference numeral 1 generally designates a variable-configuration shower according to the invention.
- the shower can be installed easily and quickly in any shower enclosure without any limitation and requires no particular modification to the domestic water mains.
- variable-configuration shower comprises advantageously at least one support, generally designated by the reference numeral 2, which is fixed to a wall 3 inside the shower enclosure and is provided with at least one connector 4 for connection to the domestic water mains, for at least one flexible hose 5 of preset length which is connected, at a first end 5a, to the connector 4; a second end 5b of the flexible hose 5 is instead connected to a water head 6, of a substantially traditional type, provided for example with any number of water ejectors and having any shape.
- the support 2 comprises elastic return means, generally designated by the reference numeral 7, for the flexible hose 5, means adapted to allow and contrast the movement of the head 6, by manual traction on the part of the user and in relation to his/her requirements, from at least one fixed retracted position, in which it is retained substantially at the support 2 (Figure 2), to any extended position for use within the shower enclosure ( Figure 2a).
