ATTORNEY Patented July 5, 1932 ALBERT o AYroo E, or FINDLAY, OHIO", I
SHOWER BATH m cm m Application filed April 6,
This invention relates to needle spray or shower bath attachments for baths. I
A primary object of theinvention is to provide a shower or spray attachment adapt,
ed to be connected with thefaucets of the tub and to be mounted on'the tub to travel back and forth and to extend around the bather when insittin'g. posture in the tub, which is movable to so position'the spray apertures that they will dischargeon various parts of the bathers body at will; and which does not require the use of a curtain Another object of thelnvention is to so shape the water carrying tube or pipe that it will extend around the body of the wearer when in sitting position in the tub andspray water onto him without splashing or sprinkling it outside of the tub.
Another object is to so construct :an attachment of this character that by pressing down on a suitable handle the water distributing tube may be raised so as to spray water onto the neck and shoulders or any other part of the body at will. 7
In carrying out these objects,-the invention is susceptible of a wide range of modification without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the claimed invention; there being shown in the drawing for illustrative purposes a preferred and practical form, in which; i
Figure 1 represents a perspectiveview of a bath tub with this improved spray attachment shown applied ready for use; 7
Fig.2 is a top plan view of the spray attachment detached r a Fig. 3 is a detailtransverse section taken onthe line 33 of Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 is a l'ongitudinalsection taken on the line 44 ofFig. 2; showing the device in position on atub. V
In the embodiment illustrated, the shower attachment 10 constituting the invention is shown applied to :a bath tub 1 which may be of any desired character being here shown rectangular with a rim 2 around the edges thereof on which the attachment is designed to travel in a manner presently to be described. A common discharge spout 3 for the hot and cold water is shown to which the 1931. "serial no. 28,147. 1;
attachment designed tobe connected, the
controlling faucets 4 of which are convenient n ly located for manipulation by the batheini v Theushow eri'attachmentilO is made'inthe form of a' substantially U-shaped loop .11, the legs 12 and 13 0 which are" arranged closer together than the sides of the body portion 'andtpositioned parallel .witheach other as shown clearly in Fig.'2.' Thisloop-shaped "member 11 is composed of a tube'of any suitable'material providedon' its inner face with a plurality of longitudinally spaced perfora tions 14' through which the water passes-in the form of spray as shown at l5. Extend-j ing laterally {from the outer faces of the legs 12 aha-'13 are two rollers 16 and'jl7 mounted to revolve on "spindles 18' and de signed to rest a'nd travelon the rim 2 ofthe tub whichoperatesas a track for the attach v One end shownat'19 while'theother end is open and isof thepipe ortube 11 is closed as equippediwitha nipple'QO with which is de-' a signed to be connecteda flexible tube or hose 2l,'-the'other end of which is engaged with the supply nozzle 3. i I
Extending laterally inward from the leg 12 is a handle or finger 22 which may be'manipulated either by the hand of the bather or by his knee for tilting the tube .11 so that the water may be caused to strike on the neck and shoulders of the bather'without wetting his I hairand if desired the loop may be raised further so'that the head'may be washed.
'The advantage of an'attachment of this characteris that itjpermits the bather to take a shower while sitting down thereby eliminating all possibility of. slipping which fre quently occurs when taking astanding shower. The faucets are within easy reach of the bather so that the head will not get wet when I i o fe'.
reaching for a faucet asoften happens, when taking a standing shower.
Theloop-shaped' member 11 is of adiameter to conform to the inner diameter of the tub in connection with which it is used sothat all danger of water splashing'outside the tub isprevented. The mounting of the rollers on 1 the rim 2 of the tub avoids the necessity, of anyv auxiliary fastening member and when not,
in usethe'devicemay be disconnected from the faucet 3 tion. 7
By arranging the spray apertures 14 throughout the length of the inner face of the and placed in any desired'locatube or loop 11 thewater will be sprayed'on all parts of the body simultaneously without necessitating moving of the'person in the tub as is required with a standing shower.
Without further-description it is-thought' that the features and advantages'ofithe invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and it will, of course, be un ing of the tube to various positions relatively H to'the leather, and a flexiblehose for connect v derstood that changes in the form, propor tion and minor details of construction may be'resorted to, Without departing from the spiritof the invention-orits scope as claimed.

and a'fiexible hose connecting said. tube with a faucet.
