' invented a new and useful Improvementin Shower-Bath Apparatus, of lowing is a specification.
, My inventionis an improvement in shower bath apparatus, and has for its object the provision of a metal, economical portable, extension shampoo, and shower attachment, with practically no wearing parts,'one"that can be closed so as to permit of being carried in an ordinary suit case, easily and quickly attached to any standard combination hot and'cold water cock, and extended which the "tolto provide for the desired hath.
Another object of my invention is'to provide an economical extension combination shampoo and shower bath attachment con structcd of metal with practically no wean ing parts that can be readily and quickly atttachcd to any standard combination hot and cold water cock, and easily extended and held inplace secure at the desired height without the use of-screws or any means of support other than that afi'ordcd by the fixture itself, and which can, through the removal of the shower head, be used as a simple extension cock, and thus meet all the requircu'ients ot"- a lavatory or basin without any cost other than that of the at tachment. 7
Another object of my invention is to provide an ornamental fixture of graceful design that can be installed in connection with any lavatory and serve two purposes, that of an ordinary cock, through removal of shower head, and a shampoo cock through the addition of shower head, with the added propcrtiesof being able to extend same to suit any head, and redirect spray at any desired angle, thus doing away with two sets of fixtures as'at present employed;
In the drawings: Figure 1V is a PBISpGCillE view of the improvement in place; Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the spraying mechanism partly in section; Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail longitudinal section of the connection between the sections of the apparatus; and,
' Fig. 4 is a plan view of the holding 'means for the pipe sections. The present embodiment of the invention is shown applied to the common outlet 1 of 'the hot and cold water pipes 2 and 3, re-
above the cap or nut, to hold the sisting of a long arm or portion 5 and a short armor portion 6. The portion 6 of the pipe is provided with a union 7 for connecting the pipe with the inlet, and the pot tion of the pipe is arranged between the 'valves 8 and 9 of the hot and cold water pipes and between the inlet 1 and the adjacent side of the tub. The portion 6 of the pipe extends directly downward from the inlet 1 and the arch 10 connecting the two portions extends toward the end of the tub, so that the portion 5 is entirely out of the way of the occupant of the top when bath ing in the usual manner.
The pipe 56--10 is the lower section of the apparatus and is connected to the upper section, comprising a pipe 11 provided at its upper end with branches 12 and 13 by means of the connection shown more particularly in Fig. 3. The pipe ll'is of smaller diameter than pipe 5 and is fitted at its lower end into the upper end of the said pipe o. nally threaded and is engaged by collar 14, internally threaded at its lower-end for en.- gaging pipe 5, and having its upper end reduced internally, as shown at 15, to engage pipe 11.
The upper'end of the collar is externally threaded, as shown at 16., and is annularly enlarged internally, as shown at 1'7, and a gasket or packing ring 18 is arranged in the. enlargement, the said ring or gasket encircling the pipe 11. A cap or nut 19 encircles.
the pipe 11 above the collar, and the said nut is provided with a marginalcncircling threaded flange 20 for engaging the threaded portion 16 oi the sleeve. The said nut or cap is also provided with an annular 'rio 21 adjacent to the pipe 11 and. engaging the gasket, for compressing the same to cause the said gasket to grip the pipe 1].
A clamping deviceencircles the pipe 11 said pipe or nut in adjusted position. The said device comprises oppositely. arranged clamping members each-of which consists of a handle portion 22, and an arc-shaped clamping member 23, and the said portions 23 God crate .to get the pipe between them,-
Eac of the lining or facm 24 of suitable material, to

same. Asubstantially if-shaped plate spring 25 is arranged between the handle portions 22 of the clamping member, and each arm of the said spring is riveted to the inner face of the portion 22 of the adjacent clamping member by rivets 26. The spring is arrangedto permit the handle portions 22 of the clamping members to be moved together to move the portions 23 away from the pipe to release the same.
When the clamping members are released as above mentioned the pipe 11. may be moved longitudinally, sliding through the sleeve 14: and the gasket 18. The pipe 11 is not only slidable in the pipe 5, but is also rotatable in the said pipe whatever its position with regard to the said pipe. The branches 12 and 13 of pipe 11 are curved, as shown more clearly'in Fig. 2, each being of approximately semicircular shape, and at the end remote from the pipe 11 each branch of a union 30. The ends. of branches 12 and 13 are enlarged and externally threaded at 31, and each of the ends of the T is provided with an annular rib 32. The union 30 clamps the shoulder or rib 32 against the annular enlargement 31, and the ends of the branches are recessed, as shown, to receive the ends of the T. The lateral. branch 34 of a shower or spraying head 35. The T with the head is'rotatable with respect to the branches 12 and 1.3, so that the head 35 may be directed laterally, upwardly and downwardly, or in the intermediate positions.
'With the parts in the position shown in F ig. 1, the head 35 may be raised or lowered with respect to the tub by pulling or pushing on the pipe 11, and the head may also be revolved around the pipe 11 and may be swung to direct the spray in any desired direction for any form of bath. hen the head 35 is removed, the device is merely an extension of the inlet 1 and may be used, to dirbct a stream instead of a shower. When not in use, the pipe 11 may be telescoped into pipe 5, thus making a very compact device for storage or transpm-Yation.
A T 36 has its lateral'branch 37 engaged with theupper end'of the pipe 11, and the ends of the T are connected by unions 38 with the branch pipes 12 and 13 before! mentioned.
