BATH-SPRAY.

To all whbm it may concernp' 'Be it known that we, IRAjJUNE OWEN and ROBERT A. Bnoons, citizens ofthe-United States, and. residents of the city of Oak Park V useful Improvements in full, clear, and exact. description of and Chicago, in the county of Cook and State have invented certain new and Bath-Spray; and the following is a the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

of Illinois,

we do hereby declare that 'TEJS invention relates to improvements in bath [sprays and more particularly to a bath spraying device adapted either tov be constructed as a part of the bath faucet or cook, or to be removably attached to bath faucets .or cocks such as now'in use. Of the various types ofbath spraying devices heretofore de- "VISBd, some are arrangedzto spray from above downwardly upon the leather. Others are arranged to throw a from a tube or yoke supported on the person;

Others are simple sprays connected with the cock by a rubber tube and when used are held in the hand. These are all more or less IIICOIIVGIIlGDt'lII use and are usually expensive and owing'to rubber being used in most, if not all of them, are-short'lived and need freqlll ent repair and are always insanitary.

e object of this invention is to provide a spraying device adapted-to be. permanently secured upon the cock within the bath tub and though occupying but very small space, enablin the cock to be used as ordinarily to deliver ot and cold or tempered water into the tub or by slight adjustment enabling a spray to be thrown upon the occupant of the tub, at diflerent angles practically filling the'entire area of the tub with the spray.

. It is also an ob'ect of the invention to so" T construct a cook or the purpose specified-as to enable the same to be used independently and without modification or change either to deliver the supply into the tub as usual :in a continuous hot or cold or a tempered stream or to spray It is also an important object of the invention to provide a device for the purpose constructed wholly of metal and thus capableof' reference Fig. 2.

The s raying device embodying our invention eml iraces in the form shown in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, a tube or ipe B provided with a screw threaded cap I) tted on the upper end thereof and apertured to receive the stem 0 therethrough, on the lower end of said stem is a piston c which fits is'shdable therein by means of said stem, the

movement thereof however is determined by a stop 0 on the outer end of the'stem engaging on the cap and the upward. limit thereof by an internal stop or collar a secured on the stem and engaging beneath the cap. Said tube is provided near its lgwer end with a right angle tubular branch'D whichat its end is enlarged and is to afford a horizontally diead D Seated on said head concentric with the bore is a packing washer d; adapted to -fit a ainst and around the end of the nozzle of the cock. An internally threaded sleeve closely in the tube andengages said head and is rovided with setscrews d whichproject' t erethrough and A removable hose which is externally threaded.

are adapted to engage in the groove above the bead a on the nozzle, rigidly securing the spray on the nozzle, after the removal of the hose nipple. Said tube or cylinder B, is transversely slotted on its front side or that adjacent the bather. Said slots may be 'inclined slightly thereby directing the sprays downwardly so that none of the water is directed beyond the sides ofthe tub. In the construction illustrated in Figs. 4 to 6 inclusive the spray is constructed integral with the bath cocks. For this purpose the hot water and cold water connection E and E deliver into the cylinder or tube F on opposite sides thereof this is constructed in all respects as the tube or cylinder B, before described. The open lower end of the cylinder is directed downwardly into the tub and is the nozzle of the cooks. The slots are arranged in the front thereof as heretofore described and if desired the upper end of the stem 0 may be provided with an enlargement 0 or cup to afford a soap tray.

The operation is as follows: When the plunger is elevated until the stop 4: contacts the ca the discharge from the cock is through the open end of the cylinder directly into the tub. When the plunger or piston is moved downwardly to the position shown in Figs. 2, 4, and 5the water is combined within the cylinder and rising therein is forced by pressure outwardly through the slots in .a fan shaped spray or jet from each slot which of course, will be directed longitudinally and laterally of the tuband the extent of the spray depends of course, upon the pressure and also on the quantity of water delivered therefrom. By slightly inclining the slots downwardly the spray may be directed downwardly though ordinarily gravity tends to deflect the spray sufficiently doyvnward to confine the water wholly in the tu In giving a medicinal or a perfumed bath soluble tablets G or crystals or both tablets and crystals of the desired medicament or perfume are placed in the cylinder above the piston. The resulting solution is thus sprayed upon the person, and of course, may vary in strength of solution with temperature and solubility of the tablets or crystals.

Of course many modifications and variation of the construction shown in the drawings may be made and we do not purpose limiting this a plication otherwise than necessitated by t shown is designed to be merely typical of many different. applications of spraying heads adapted to be either permanently or removably connected upon a faucet or cock and to occupy but sma space in the tub or other fixture.
