  However, the purpose of the shower originally is often used separately from the shower to the head or the shower to the body, and is not always jetted from the head to the whole. Use on the head is used after shampooing, washing the face, shaving, etc., and use on the body is used after washing the body. In addition, in the winter season, when the bathtub is not used, the body is often kept warm by washing the body with shower water.

  As you can see, when using modern showers like these, when using on the body, use it while turning away from your face so that it does not touch the face, etc. Also, jetting to the body is only on the front surface, rotating the body to the whole body It is necessary to spray or shower water is sprayed to the whole body by using a hand shower. In view of these, although the form in which the height can be varied by the slide type is distributed, it cannot be injected to the whole body, and Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 have the same problem.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a shower apparatus that is effective and can contribute to water saving when using a shower.

  The triple shower head according to the present invention does not correspond to all of the conventional shower heads, but is used separately for the head and the body. The overhead shower head dedicated to the head is not much different from the conventional one, and the hose in the piping is easy to deal with personal usage.For example, after washing or rinsing, the hand shower should be close to the head. A method of washing out hair and scalp sufficiently is often used.

  Therefore, a shower head dedicated to the body is provided, but the triple shower head according to the present invention has a shape including one body-specific shower head (hereinafter referred to as a side shower head). However, if the width between the side shower heads is too narrow when prepared on the left and right sides, the hands and body may touch and interfere with the cleaning work, and if it is too wide, the shower water will not reach the body and is sprayed in a small amount. The situation reaches only below the body.

  To solve these problems, the interval between the side shower heads is narrowed, the water supply pipe is pivoted in the vertical direction, and the side shower head is provided at an angle for spraying downward. Even if the position of the side shower head is set to the same height as the head by this method, the head is not sprayed to the head. Moreover, even if the width between the side shower heads is narrow, it does not hinder the operation (particularly the arm) during cleaning.

  This structure enables injection to the entire body, and there is no need to rotate the body as in the prior art. In winter, shower water was conventionally sprayed only on one side of the body and it was difficult for the body to warm up, but shower water was jetted to the entire body by the left and right side shower heads and gradually warmed. Go. In the past, it was difficult to spray shower water at the same time as washing and shaving, but by using this side shower head, the body can be kept warm with shower water at the time of washing and shaving. . Moreover, since the height setting method of a side shower head is based on a rotation type, it can be performed instantaneously.

  The form will be described in detail. The overhead shower head (2a) is not particularly different from the conventional one. The side shower head (3a) is supported on the left and right sides by a side shower water pipe (3b). The shape of the side shower water supply pipe (3b) is preferably the shape shown in FIG. Also, the height can be changed by manually turning the side shower water pipe (3b) in the vertical direction. In height, it freely rotates between the upper storage position (A) and the upper use position (B), the normal use position (C), the lower use position (D), and the lower storage position (E) according to FIG. Naturally, it is a shape that can adapt to height differences and the like.

  When this lower storage position (E) is used, it is difficult for water to remain in the pipe. For example, in the conventional shower device of the hose type, the cold remaining water is first discharged and is uncomfortable, but this is prevented. be able to. Moreover, although the method which makes the side shower water pipe (3b) the rotation type to a horizontal direction and makes the space | interval of a side shower head (3a) wide is also considered, a big effect is not acquired and cost is held down. It is necessary to consider and does not lead to preparation.

  Next, as the shape of the side shower head (3a), when viewed from the front, the side shower head (3a) is rectangular or oval, and when viewed planarly (see FIG. 1), it is a concave curved surface. In the case of the conventional convex curved surface, the shower water sprayed is easy to diffuse, and is a preventive measure for water being sprayed to other than the body and wasting water. The conventional convex curved surface is intended for injection over a wide range and is not intended to save water, and can be said to be unavoidable.

  Therefore, when using the concave curved surface according to the present invention, the injection range is narrow. However, the shower water sprayed on the shoulder flows through the body, and there is very little wasted water that is not sprayed on the body. For example, it is similar to a form in which a hand shower is used in the immediate vicinity of the shoulder. Moreover, shower water can also be utilized before and behind a body by rotating a body 90 degree | times.

  In addition, some devices have been devised for the structure of the shower head. For example, for the purpose of washing away the body after washing, there is a case where it is used in a state where the momentum of jetting is high and the amount of water is large, and the body is kept warm or prolonged In the injection, the water-saving effect is emphasized, the momentum of the injection is not so strong, the amount of water is thin, and many are injected in the form of mist or light rain. These two types of structures have both advantages and disadvantages, and are not covered by the same shower head.

  As a method of using these two advantages, it is effective to change the shape of the upper and lower injection ports of the side shower head (3a), for example, by switching the water supply to the upper thin injection port and the lower thick injection port. In addition, the amount of shower water to be jetted is adjusted in terms of the fineness and quantity of the jet nozzle. Moreover, as an injection direction of the side shower head (3a), it may be possible to make the angle variable with respect to the upper and lower sides, but the necessity is poor.

  Next, as the temperature of shower water used for overhead showers and side showers, hot shower water is not preferable because it is highly irritating to the scalp. On the other hand, in the winter season, hot shower water may be used depending on the individual. On the other hand, for example, the overhead shower head (2a) and the side shower head (3a) can be separately provided with a mixing plug valve, or can be differentiated from the shower water temperature by using a pressure reducing valve.

  Next, as the operating state of the water discharge switching lever (4), the uppermost stage is when only the overhead shower is used, the interruption is when the overhead shower and the side shower are used together, and the lower stage is when only the side shower is used. Moreover, if the change of the water discharge amount is also due to the left / right rotation of the water discharge switching lever (4), the convenience is enhanced.
