Abstract:
1. A bath comprising: left and right side upper body water outlet fittings, wherein each fitting is positioned to direct a water flow onto at least one of a shoulder or neck of a bather seated between the fittings and against a wall of the bath; wherein one of said fittings is positioned to direct a left water flow onto at least one of a left shoulder or neck of the bather from behind, and the other fitting is positioned to direct a right water flow onto at least one of a right shoulder or neck of the bather from behind; wherein each fitting comprises a hollow body which is elongate in a generally horizontal axis, and an extending hollow mounting neck which opens to an interior of said elongate hollow body and which extends from the hollow body closer to a first end of the fitting than an opposite second end; wherein the extending hollow mounting neck of each fitting is disposed in an aperture in the wall or a rim around a top of the wall to pivotally mount the fitting about a generally upright axis; wherein water may be supplied from within the bath to each fitting and through the mounting neck to the hollow body to permit water delivery onto the shoulder or the neck or both of the bather; wherein the first end of each fitting is positioned closer to the other fitting than the second end; wherein each fitting may be oriented in a first pivotal position in which an angle between the left and right water flows is greatest; wherein the water flow from each fitting in the first position does not extend beyond the wall or the rim around the top of the wall or both, and extends into an interior of the bath; and wherein each fitting is pivotally moveable about the extending hollow mounting neck from the first pivotal position toward the other fitting by the bather to reduce the angle between the left and right water flows.
