FR2690830A1 - Glove fixed over shower head to prevent splashing - is made of permeable material and fixed round head by tightening cord through hem round opening - Google Patents

Abstract

The glove (3) is made in permeable material and the spray (5) is inserted into it. It has a hem (4) round its opening through which a cord (2) is threaded. The ends of the cords pass through two holes (6) on the same side and are pulled to make the opening smaller, to hold the shower head. The cords are threaded through a cord clip (1) and their ends are knotted together (7). The glove can be made in relatively dense textile material which inflates under the flow of water. The water is released by the pressure of a hand. USE - Glove fixed to shower head to prevent splashing caused by nozzle of shower.

Description

 The present invention relates to a device intended to be attached to a shower head and in particular to cover the part where the water gushes to avoid splashes caused by the jet.

 This invention relates more particularly to users of a shower in a bathtub or under unsuitable conditions.

There are different ways to fix this problem
- reduce the flow of water, uncomfortable solution.

- the curtain or shower screen, a more expensive solution,
non-aesthetic and which requires installation.

- shower heads with modular spray, solution
more expensive which requires changing the apple
shower, which the user already has and a
installation using tools.

 The invention described overcomes these drawbacks. The principle of this invention consists in fixing in a few ways whatsoever and in any case in a summary manner, a material which is permeable or partly, and preferably flexible, on at least the part of a shower head where the water springs up.

 The device will allow the user to fix and remove it without any difficulty.

 The device put into operation will stop the water in the form of a jet to let it flow through its walls, and thus avoid splashing caused by the jet without reducing the water flow.

 Figure 1 given by way of non-limiting example shows one of the embodiments of the invention. In the context of this example, the invention is applied to a washcloth made from all appropriate materials.

Its manufacture will be carried out by assembly, weaving or any other process.

 The glove (Figure 1) will serve as an envelope (3) for a shower head (5) and will have a basic fixing system.

 In the context of this application of the invention, the device can be installed on any shower head and will allow ordinary use of the washcloth.

This washcloth may be in an ordinary or other form, the attachment system of which may vary.

 By way of non-limiting example, the glove (FIG. 1) is composed of a hem (4) on the periphery of its open side in which a cord (2) circulates, the two ends of which emerge through two orifices (6) on the same side to pass through a cord clamp (1) and joining together to form a knot (7).

 Figure 2: the cord clamp (1) being brought back on the cord (2) towards the hem (4) will reduce the opening of the glove in order to keep the shower head (5) inside.

 In the context of this application of the invention, the glove allows rinsing by application or rubbing on the skin or the surface to be rinsed, and therefore promoting the quality of rinsing and hygiene while avoiding splashing.

 The principle of this invention thus applied is also advantageous when the rinsing must take place only on one part of the body without splashing another part which must remain dry.

 It is also possible during use to temporarily increase the water flow: the glove composed of a relatively dense textile material, can under pressure swell by accumulation of water and formed a pocket of water, this which allows by hand pressure on the glove to temporarily increase the water flow, in case of need of a momentary abundant rinsing.

 By way of nonlimiting example, the device will have dimensions of the order of 17 cm for the length and 11 cm for the width.

The invention thus applied will offer the advantages described above and any useful use for its user.
The example of the application of this invention to a washcloth is in no way limitative, this is why the shapes, dimensions, compositions and arrangements of the different elements may vary as well as the materials used for their manufacture. , without changing the general object of the invention which has just been exposed.
