Abstract
Description
- The present invention is related to a shower bath tap, and more particularly, to one that is directly fixed into the wall, adapted with water amount and temperature regulating mechanism and allowing adjustment of its depression.
- For the fixed type of a shower bath tap generally available in the market delivers the water in one-way, static pattern like a hand-held shower does. However, unlike the hand-held shower, the tap for the fixed type of shower bath prevents the user to bath his body at any angle. Even though the angle of the water delivered can be adjusted in case of the fixed type of the shower bath tap, it remains delivering the water statically at the adjusted angle. Consequently, one has to always move his body to compromise the direction of the water delivered to warrant the entire body enjoying the shower bath.
- The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide a fixed shower bath tap that allows static or dynamic water delivery as selected by the user. To achieve the purpose, a circular water outlet tube and a rotation water outlet base are provided in conjunction with a water diversion mechanism to promote the utility of the tap to overcome the flaw found with the prior art.

Accordingly, the water in theprimary passage 101 flows from thesecondary passage 102 through thehollow duct 111 of theconnection tube 11 into thereceptor 12. The water is at the same time flows into those two inclinedholes 1411 opposite to each other on thepacking retainer 141 from acircular channel 1211 provided in thetrapezoid trough 121 of thereceptor 12. The water flowing through those twoinclined holes 1411 is intensified to become strong current and enter into thepacking retainer 141 in the direction of a tangent to flush thoseblades 1421. Driven by thoseblades 1421, therotation rod 142 rotates to further drive thewater outlet base 40 to rotate while the flushing water flows downwards to pass each of thosewater guide holes 1431 of thewater guide seat 143 into thecentral trough 402 of thebody 41 of the rotationwater outlet base 40 before being diverting into eachwater guide tube 42. The water from thewater guide tube 42 flows towards thetrough 430 of thewater outlet head 43 to pass through thecircular channel 4301 to simultaneously flow into those twoinclined holes 4311 on thepacking retainer ring 431. The water passing through those twoinclined holes 4311 becomes a strong current and enters in the direction of a tangent into the packingretainer ring 431 to flush and rotate thewater wheel 432, thus to spray from the water outlet of thecover 433 at the bottom. Whereas the rotationwater outlet base 40 rotates together with multiple identical water outlet heads 43, the tap delivers a full-scale, dynamic spray.
