Description

1. Field of technology

The shower head with sink belongs to the field of shower technology, especially a hand shower or a hanging (detachable) shower device and is a sanitary ware.

2. Technology level

The existing state of the art is represented by many patents for shower devices and shower heads, designed to divide a single stream of water into many jets with different characteristics and additions, which allows you to carry out hygiene procedures in more convenient, pleasant and effective and useful ways, as described in patents No. RU 2678874 C1, 24.08.2017, US 2015292186 A1, 15.10.2015, RU 2620436 C2, 10.07.2013, RU 2598470 C1, 09.08.2013, DE 202009015402 U1, 24.06.2010, RU 2350401 C2, 27.03.2009, US 6382531 B1 , 07.05.2002, DE 19654359 C1, 20.08.1998, GB 2309181 A, 23.07.1997 and US 5174503 A, 29.12.1992. Patent No. RU 2678874 C1, 08.24.2017 can be singled out as a prototype with the most essential features and purpose that most closely matches this invention.

However, a shower head with a sink differs from all existing prototypes in that it has an additional elongated holder with a washing head having attachments for washcloths, which provides significant other additional possibilities and purposes of its use, for which the existing shower heads are not intended.

3. Disclosure of the essence of the invention

The essence of the invention as a technical solution is a shower head, which has a design consisting of a hollow handle with an inlet for water inlet on one side and a spray head on the other side, but this shower head goes into an elongated holder with an additional washing head designed for soaping, washing and massaging the body, applying scrubs, balms, aromatic oils, creams, etc., allowing you to perform a full cycle of hygiene procedures.

The main purpose of the elongated holder with a washing head is that they allow you to easily and effortlessly reach for, soap, wash, massage, apply and rub in scrubs, balms, aromatic oils, creams all over the body and, especially in hard-to-reach places of the body: back and lower limbs. This is especially true for people with limited joint mobility, sore lower back, knees and shoulder joints or a large belly in which turning, body bends and squats are problematic, painful or impossible.

The ability to reach hard-to-reach places of the body is achieved due to the fact that the elongated holder with the washing head has a comfortable shape and is located at a considerable distance from the handle of the shower head, increasing the length of the entire device to such a size that hard-to-reach places become easily accessible. Also, this invention allows you to carry out the entire process of performing hygiene procedures in a more pleasant and effective way, without unnecessary stress.

The front part of the washing head may contain soft projections made of silicone or other elastic material, designed for better soaping, washing, massaging the body, applying and rubbing all kinds of components into it. This device may include a washcloth that matches the shape and size of the washing head, which can be put on and fixed on this head, which will allow you to carry out hygiene procedures more thoroughly and pleasantly.

In addition, the elongated holder can contain two or more fasteners located directly at the washing head and intended for tension and fastening to the washing head of various already existing sponges, which significantly expands the functionality of using this device.

Thanks to an elongated holder with a washing head, which complements the shower head, this invention allows a complete cycle of hygiene procedures:

- soaking and initial washing of the body with a shower head;

- lathering the body with soap or shower gels and / or using a soaped washing head (with a washcloth);

- soaping, washing and massage of the body with a washing head;

- washing away foam and dirt with a shower head;

- applying to the body and rubbing in scrubs, balms, aromatic oils, creams, peels, etc. using a washing head (with a washcloth).

An extended holder with a wash head can be made as a single monolithic design with a shower head, or as a separate removable head with attachments to the head and handle of the shower head, converting the existing shower heads into a shower head with a sink.

All available patents lack an elongated holder with a washing head and, therefore, they are not able to carry out the procedures associated with them, and the separate introduction of various components and mixing and diluting them with water, as in the prototype, is ineffective, because components dissolve in water and their concentration becomes very insignificant and they are quickly washed off with water (with the exception of those components that do not need to be rubbed in or their dose should be insignificant, which is extremely rare).

5. Implementation of the invention

This invention can be produced according to existing technologies for the manufacture of shower heads by casting in thermo-plastic automatic machines, casting from low-melting metals, made of ceramics or durable glass, etc., with all kinds of their combinations, as well as stamping or 3D printing.

The design of a shower head with a sink can be a single body, consisting of several conventional parts (see figure 1 - figure 3):

- part 1 is a hollow handle for a shower head with a standard water inlet on one side and a head for a shower head 2 on the other side, which serves to divide a single stream of water into multiple jets. The handle of the shower head may have rubber, silicone or similar pads, or may be notched for better grip.

- the shower head 2 goes into the extended holder 3 with the washing head 4.

- the holder 3 increases the length of the device and has such a shape that allows access of the washing head to hard-to-reach places of the body, and the washing head itself has a shape and dimensions that are convenient and optimal for soaping, washing and massaging the body, applying and rubbing in scrubs, balms, aromatic oils , creams, peels, etc. and protrudes forward in relation to the head of the shower head (see figure 2). This is necessary so that during washing and applying various components to the body, the shower head does not interfere with these procedures.

- the front part 5 of the washing head may have an insert made of silicone, rubber or other soft materials with various projections, favorable for performing hygiene procedures.

- on the holder 3 in the immediate vicinity of the head 4 there can be two or several fasteners 6 for other available sponges.

- in Fig. 4 shows a washcloth, which can be supplied in a set and have a different composition and surface relief 7, effective for performing hygienic procedures, as well as a fastener in the form of ties 8 or any other attachment to the washing head 4. In this case, the washcloth must repeat the shape and dimensions the wash head so that the washcloth can be put on and fastened to the wash head.

- attachments 6 for washcloths can be made in the form of spring-loaded clamps with pointed combs 9 (see Fig. 5) for a stronger hold of washcloths of various structure, shape and size (not included in the kit). An extension spring 10 attached to an axle 11 presses the clamp and forces it to firmly press the sponge against the holder 3 using combs 9. Although these attachments are very convenient and effective, any other reliable clamps or attachments can also be used.

- although this invention is a single, monolithic structure, for already existing shower heads (or as an additional option to separate shower heads), a removable elongated holder 3 (see Fig. 6 - Fig. 8) with a washing head can be produced 4, made in the form of a separate nozzle, which can have two attachments 12 and 13. The attachment 12 has a groove 14, which coincides in shape with the upper part of the shower head. The upper part of the shower head is inserted into the groove 14, and the fastener 13, made in the form of a belting textile fastener (Velcro), attached at one end to the lower part of the elongated holder, wraps around the shower head handle at the bottom of the shower head and fixes it, preventing slipping. These two attachments secure the shower head securely to the removable shower sink, creating a single shower head with sink.

- although the fastener 13, made in the form of a textile fastener (Velcro), is reliable and convenient to use, any other effective fastening can also be used.

Thus, with the help of a shower head with a sink, you can carry out a full range of hygiene procedures, including additional opportunities not provided by existing shower heads - convenient soaping, washing and body massage with an additional washing head (with the possibility of attaching various washcloths), especially in hard-to-reach parts of the body and, especially for people with limited functionality, followed by rinsing off the foam with a shower head and applying scrubs, balms, aromatic oils, creams, peels, etc. with the help of an additional washing head.
