Showerhead adaptor means

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention contemplates a showerhead adaptor device or means which may be readily attached to and receives the water outlet pipe protruding from the shower wall, and which utilizes the outlet pipe for positioning the hand-held showerhead in storage position and also in a fixed shower spray position.
The adaptor means of this invention contemplates convenient adjustment of the adaptor device along the axis of the water outlet pipe to provide limited adjustment heightwise of the device and spacing thereof from the shower wall; rotational adjustment about the axis of the water pipe to position the showerhead at a selected angle; and rotatable adjustment of the showerhead about the axis of the handle to provide further desired positioning of the showerhead to obtain a selected angle of shower spray.
In the position selected, the hand-held showerhead may be readily stored when not being manually used to direct the shower spray at various areas of the body.
One of the prime objects of the present invention is to provide a showerhead adaptor for a hand-held showerhead which is simply constructed, readily manufactured of a minimum of integrally formed parts, and readily held in assembly.
An object of the present invention is to provide a showerhead adaptor means utilizing a flow conducting outlet pipe for adjustment lengthwise therealong with some height variation and to provide adjustable spacing from the wall of the shower compartment.
Another object of the invention is to provide a showerhead adaptor device which may be adjustably rotated about the axis of the outlet pipe.
A further object of the invention is to provide a showerhead adaptor device which includes a retainer socket means for a tube coupling adjacent the handle of the hand-held showerhead, in which the handle may be adjustably rotated in a plane spaced from the axis of the pipe, and parallel to the axis of the pipe to provide a selected angle for a shower spray emitted from the shower head.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a showerhead adaptor device which is adjustable about the axis of the handle of the showerhead for directing the shower spray at a selected angle to the mounting wall of the shower
