Y
The hoop. member 3 is preferably separably supported on the baseimember and adapted for swinging movement relative thereto in response to force applied to the hoop member. In the structure illustrated, `the central portion 11 of the base member has a thickened portionand there is an upwardly opening groove 17 Vformed in said central portion, said groove extending transversely ofthe base member for the entire width thereof and adapted to receive a portion of the hoop member 3 therein. In'the structure illustrated, the hoop member is formed of a tubular member 1S having an axial bore 19 with the lower portion of the hoop being a substantially straight horizontal or bottom portion 20 having a cylindrical periphery and received in the groove 17. The-ends of the horizontalportion are preferably turned upwardly to form spaced preferably parallelV legs 21 and 22 with the upper ends of the legs being'connected byV an arcuate portion 23 wherein the hoop defines a generally keyhole shape, the hoop having a height fromthe base whereby when the hoop is upright a child orV other person'for which the apparatus is adapted can runrthr'ough the open-z. ing in the hoop. It'V is preferred that thehoop be formed of-a single piece ofrnaterial with the ends of the tubular member connected to a fitting 24A having the connection 4 thereon. ,It is also preferred that the hoop member be made yof a suitable `plastic and may be. extruded or otherwise vformed and then shaped to the `desired contour with said plastic havingsome flexibility and resiliency but sufficient rigidity to normally-retain its shape. -.While the hoop member 3 is shown `defining a generally keyhole frictional engagement therewith whereby the hoop member will remain in selected positions until forcibly moved.
in the structure illustrated, the groove 17 has lesser depth than the diameter of the tubular member 1S and clamp blocks 25 extend across the `groove adjacent the sides of the base member and have downwardly opening grooves 26 to engage the upper surface of the horizontal portion 2G of the hoop member. Fastening devices such as bolts 27 are engaged with the clamp members 2S and extend through apertures 28 in the central portion 11 of the base member on opposed sides of the groove 17. It is preferred that some resiliency be arranged in the assembly to maintain a frictional engagement between the clamp members 25, the hoop member and the surface of the groove 17, and springs could be arranged on the fastening devices. However, with the parts being made of synthetic resin having some flexibility, the resiliency is in the material of the base member, hoop member and clamp members whereby nuts such as wing nuts 29 are screwed on threaded ends 30 of the bolts 27 and moved into engagement with the lowerk surface 31 of the center portion 11 to draw the clamp members 25 into desired engagement with the tubular member portion to hold same in the groove 17.
It is preferred that the entire tubular member have spray discharge openings 32 spaced therealong and arranged t'o discharge generally on opposite sides of the hoop member. It is preferred that the apertures or spray openings 32 in the arcuate portion 23 be arranged to spray generally toward a point on the axis of the arcuate portion and spaced from the hoop to form opposed cone-shaped sprays as at 33 in FIG. 2.

All of the spray openings in the hoop member are preferably arranged whereby they spray generally toward the approaching path of a person who would move on the ramps and through the hoop.
The structure of the shower bath apparatus is such that it can be shipped substantially knocked down and requires little space for storage. In erecting the apparatus, the clamp members are removed, the hoop member is arranged with the horizontal portion 20 placed in the gr-oove 17, and then the clamp members 2.5 are arranged wherein the bolts 27 extend through the openings 28 and the clamp members moved down against the horizontal portion 20 of the hoop member 3. The nut's 29 are then tightened to draw the clamp members down and apply a frictional clamping action on the portion 20 of the hoop member to cause said hoop to normally tend to remain in selected position relative to the base member 2. The shower bath can then be easily carried to a desired place of use, the hoop member swung to an upright position as illustrated in FIG. 1, and the connection 4 connected to a hose 5. The water can then be turned on and the spray will provide enjoyment as well as cool refreshing entertainment. The upper surfaces of the ramps 7 and 8 preferably have grooves 36 extending transversely of the ramps or otherwise provided with anti-skid portions to reduce possibility of a person slipping thereon. Edges are rounded or contoured to eliminate any sharp edges or portions that could tend to cut or otherwise injure a person. If a person should run into the hoop, it would swing downwardly and the movement thereof would reduce the force of the impact of the person, thereby substantially eliminating possibility of injury through contact of the person with parts of the apparatus.
