Shower head

A shower head comprising a first part adapted to be connected to a source of water and a second part mounted on the first part for pivotal movement about a transverse axis. The second part has an opening adapted to be aligned with an opening in the first part. The opening in the second part has a venturi-shaped portion. A third part is telescoped over and surrounds the second part and defines a pressure chamber into which water is directed from the venturi. The third part has a plurality of openings therein and a passage extends from the restricted portion of the venturi to the exterior for attachment to a fluid dispenser.

This invention is directed to an improved shower head. 
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
In accordance with the invention, the shower head comprises a first part 
adapted to be connected to a source of water, a second part and means for 
mounting the second part on said first part for pivotal movement about a 
transverse axis. The second part has an opening adapted to be aligned with 
an opening in the first part. The opening in the second part has a 
venturi-shaped portion. A third part is telescoped over and surrounds the 
second part and defines a pressure chamber into which water is directed 
from said venturi. The third part having a plurality of openings therein 
and a passage extends from the restricted portion of the venturi to the 
exterior.

DESCRIPTION 
The shower head embodying the invention comprises a first part 60 (FIG. 1) 
made of plastic having an opening 61 therethrough which is adapted to be 
attached to the source of water and a second part 62 pivotally connected 
to the part 60 so that it is angularly movable as shown in FIG. 2. More 
specifically, the part 62 includes spaced portions 63 which are aligned 
with a central portion 64 of the part 60 and pivot pins 65 extend through 
openings in the portion 63 and 64. The shower head further includes a 
third part 66 that telescopes over the part 62 and has portions 67 
overlying the portions 63 and pins 65. The part 62 includes an opening 68 
which is aligned with the opening 61 and has a venturi 69 and orifice 70 
communicating with a restricted portion of the venturi to which the 
suction line is attached. The suction line 70 extends to a chamber for 
dispensing diverse liquids such as shampoo, body oil and the like as 
disclosed in the aforementioned application Ser. No. 085,722 which is 
incorporated herein by reference. The part 66 further includes a plurality 
of openings 71. 
The parts 60, 62, 66 are preferably made of a suitable plastic and the 
portions 67 are connected to the portions 63 by use of adhesive or 
ultrasonic bonding. 
In use, the water flowing the opening 61 and in turn the opening 68 and 
venturi 69 passes to a chamber defined by the part 66 surrounding the part 
62 and then out through the openings 71. The suction formed at orifice 70 
functions to draw the selected liquid from one of the reservoirs in the 
apparatus and it passes outwardly into the chamber mixing with the water 
and being dispensed through the openings 71. 
The parts 61, 62 have generally arcuate cooperating cylindrical surfaces 
and a seal 72 is provided therebetween.
