Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a lead-in arrangement for a shower-bath capable of being used in conjunction with shower booths either self-contained or associated with bath-tubs or the like.
  • the hand-held portion of a shower arrangement is commonly known to be connected to the water delivery installation through a hose contained in a flexible metal or plastic sheathing. It is further usually associated to a support means which is usually slidable vertically and adjustable in its position, so as to support said hand-held portion in its resting and/or use positions.
  • the flexible sheathed hose remains constantly hanging in the shower booth, thereby taking up space inside the same shower booth and interfering with the movements of the user; furthermore, it can most easily get caught in the shower controls (ie. water faucets, fittings and the like) arranged on the wall of the shower booth. Last, but not least, it can rub against the walls of the shower booth, thereby damaging them and, in particular, leaving marks and scratches on them which prove very difficult or even impossible to remove.
  • the shower controls ie. water faucets, fittings and the like
  • the solution according to the present invention lies in providing a hide-away guidance arrangement for the flexible sheathed hose of the shower, so as to constantly keep such a hose in a vertical position at a distance from the walls of the shower booth, as herein described and claimed.
  • a bath-tub or whirlpool 10 is associated to a shower upright element 12 attached to the edge of the same tub.
  • Said shower upright element 12 is provided with a vertical rod 14 on which a sleeve 16 is mounted slidably.
  • Said sleeve 16 can be locked in position at any desired height along the rod 14 by means of locking means 18, which are preferably of the friction type and of any generally per sè known type (see Figure 2).
  • a support means 20 is further associated to the sleeve 16 so as to sustain the hand-held portion 22 of the shower arrangement.
  • Shelves 21 to accomodate utility items are provided on said upright element 12, on which also the water control fittings 23 are mounted in the usual manner.
  • the lower end portion of the rod 14 is fixed to the upright element 12 by means of a block 24 which is provided with a through-conduit 26, preferably in an elbow-like form, in which the flexible hose 28 connecting the hand-held portion 22 of the shower with the water supply is slidably inserted.
  • a block 24 which is provided with a through-conduit 26, preferably in an elbow-like form, in which the flexible hose 28 connecting the hand-held portion 22 of the shower with the water supply is slidably inserted.
  • the flexible hose 28 when not in use, remains in a correct vertical position, without any portion thereof hanging freely on the outside of the wall of the shower booth.
  • the user When using the shower, the user gets hold of the hand-held portion 22 thereof and, after having released and removed it from its support 20, draws it towards himself or herself and, by doing so, pulls at the same time the required length of flexible hose out from the block 26. After having taken his or her shower, the user causes the flexible hose 28 to slide again into the block 26, thereby causing the same hose to hide away, and then hangs the hand-held portion 22 of the shower again on its support 20. Two further positions in which said hand-held portion 22 of the shower can be locked are illustrated with dashed lines in Figure 2.
  • Figure 3 illustrates an alternative solution to the embodiment shown in Figure 2, whereas the same reference numerals are used to indicate elements and items that are common to both solutions.
  • the solution illustrated in Figure 3 differs from the previously described one for the fact that the block 24 acting as a hide-away guidance arrangement for the flexible hose 28 is formed by the upper support element (instead of the lower one) of the rod 14.
  • Such a solution has essentially the same characteristics as the previously described one, while however offering the additional advantage that, when the shower is being used, water cannot seep into the block 24, thereby preventing possible leaks to the rear of the upright element 12 from occurring.
  • a further fixed or rotatable guidance arrangement 30 for the flexible hose 28 in the recess on the back side of the wall of the shower booth there is provided a further fixed or rotatable guidance arrangement 30 for the flexible hose 28. It may additionally prove adequate to provide a counterweight 32 to be fixed in a suitable position to the hose 28 (as shown in Figure 3) so as to facilitate the sliding of the hose 28 into its hide-away recess and ensure its correct tension.
  • the support means 20 can be mounted in a swivelling manner on the sleeve 16, so as to enable the shower to be taken even in a fixed position, ie. with the hand-held portion 22 thereof hooked onto its support 20.
  • the block 24 has been described as preferably representing one of the elements for the attachment of the rod 14 and, at the same time, for guiding the insertion of the flexible hose 28 into its hide-away recess. It will however be appreciated that these two functions may also be provided separately, ie. implemented in two distinct elements.
