Abstract:
1. A moveable shower joint comprising: upper and lower rotating circular members; an annular cavity defined between the upper and lower circular members; an inlet on the upper circular member that is connected to the annular cavity through a fluid passageway; an outlet on the lower circular member that is connected to the annular cavity through a fluid passageway; at least one circular seal retaining groove in the inner rim of a circular member; a ring shaped seal that fits within the circular seal retaining groove when the upper and lower circular members are joined; a fixed annular tooth ring incorporated in the inner rim of the upper circular member; a floating annular tooth ring that is retained in a circular groove in the inner rim of the lower circular member; and a plurality of springs retained below the floating annular tooth ring that press the floating annular tooth ring upward to engage the fixed annular tooth ring, so that the upper and lower circular members may be rotated into any position when force is applied by a user, and friction between the fixed annular tooth ring and the floating annular tooth ring holds the upper and lower circular members in the chosen position when the user ceases to apply force.
