Claim:
A slide bar assembly comprising a longitudinally extending slide bar supporting a movable bracket assembly that is suitable to removably retain a showerhead, wherein the bracket assembly comprises: a slider member receiving the slide bar; a holder supported by the slider member, the holder being configured so as be suitable to removably receive the showerhead; and a brake assembly coupled to the slider member, the brake assembly including 1) a brake pad biased against the slide bar under a biasing force to inhibit the slider member from translating longitudinally along the slide bar when in a brake position, and 2) a trigger having first end defining an actuating surface and a second end linked to the brake pad; wherein a spring member is positioned to provide the biasing force, with the spring member being seated against the second end of the trigger adjacent the brake pad; and wherein the first end can be depressed to cause the second end to move the brake pad away from the slide bar, thereby freeing the slider member to translate longitudinally along the slide bar.
