Add-on multi-head body spray shower

Abstract

A multiple head shower system particularly designed for retrofit installation on an existing shower system, and having a head member with a primary outlet and at least one secondary outlet, a primary shower head, at least one elongated water conduit, and at least one secondary on/off water valve member. The secondary valve members are secured to the shower enclosure with a bracket member and an adhesive. The header member is secured to the existing shower system with a threaded connection or a slip-fit connection. Preferably, a pair of secondary on/off water valve members and conduits are provided.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A multiple head shower system for a shower enclosure with a shower plumbing installation comprising: 
 a header member for connecting to the shower plumbing installation, said header member having a primary shower head outlet and at least a one secondary shower head outlets;    a primary shower head attached to said primary shower head outlet;    a water conduit attached to each of said secondary shower head outlets, each of said water conduits having a first end connected to said header member and a second distal end;    a secondary water spray valve member attached to the second distal end of each of said water conduits, each of said secondary water spray valve members having an individual water shut off member.    
     
     
         2 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 1  wherein two water conduits and two secondary water spray valve members are provided.  
     
     
         3 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 1  further comprising a bracket member attached to each of said secondary water spray valve members for attaching said secondary water spray valve members to the shower enclosure.  
     
     
         4 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 3  wherein said bracket member has a substantially L-shape.  
     
     
         5 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 3  wherein said bracket member is attached to the shower enclosure with an adhesive material.  
     
     
         6 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 1  wherein said header member is threadedly connected to the shower plumbing installation.  
     
     
         7 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 1  wherein said header member is connected to the shower plumbing installation with a slip-on mechanism.  
     
     
         8 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 1  wherein each of said secondary water spray valve members comprise adjustable water spray jet members.  
     
     
         9 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 1  further comprising a connector pipe member for connecting said header member to the shower plumbing installation.  
     
     
         10 . A multiple head shower system for retrofit installation on an existing shower plumbing system in a shower enclosure, said existing shower plumbing system having a primary water conduit extending to the shower enclosure and a primary water on-off valve mechanism located in the shower enclosure for turning on and off the source of water to the primary water conduit, said multiple head shower system comprising: 
 a header member for connection to said primary water conduit, said header member having a primary shower head outlet and a pair of secondary shower head outlets;    a primary shower head attached to said primary shower head outlet on said header member;    an elongated water conduit attached to each of said pair of secondary shower head outlets; and    a secondary water spray valve mechanism attached to each of said elongated water conduits at a distance from said header member, each of said secondary water spray valve mechanisms having a separate on-off lever member.    
     
     
         11 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 10  further comprising a bracket member attached to each of said secondary valve members for attaching said secondary valve members to the shower enclosure.  
     
     
         12 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 11  wherein said bracket member has a substantially L-shape.  
     
     
         13 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 11  wherein said bracket member is attached to the shower enclosure with an adhesive material.  
     
     
         14 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 10  wherein said header member is threadedly connected to said primary water conduit.  
     
     
         15 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 14  further comprising an intervening pipe member positioned and threadedly secured between said header member and said primary water conduit.  
     
     
         16 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 10  wherein said header member is connected to said primary water conduit with a slip-on connection.  
     
     
         17 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 16  further comprising a seal member positioned between said header member and said primary water conduit.  
     
     
         18 . The multiple head shower system as described in  claim 16  further comprising an intervening pipe member positioned between said header member and said primary water conduit, said header member being positioned onto said pipe member through a slip-fit connection.
