Overhead waterfall shower

Abstract

A showerhead assembly includes a showerhead that is generally rectilinear in shape and mounted transverse to a support. The support is mounted between a first shower wall and a second shower wall such that the showerhead overhangs the shower to provide a waterfall effect. The showerhead may be manually positioned along the support or may be driven by a drive system to selectively transit and/or pivot the showerhead relative the support.

1 . A showerhead assembly comprising: 
 a support; and    a showerhead mounted transverse to said support.    
   
   
       2 . The showerhead assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said showerhead is movable along said support.  
   
   
       3 . The showerhead assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said showerhead is pivotable relative to said support.  
   
   
       4 . The showerhead assembly as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a drive to transit said showerhead along said support.  
   
   
       5 . The showerhead assembly as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said drive reciprocates said showerhead back and forth along said support.  
   
   
       6 . The showerhead assembly as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said drive includes a mechanical drive structure.  
   
   
       7 . The showerhead assembly as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said drive includes a hydraulic drive structure.  
   
   
       8 . The showerhead assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said showerhead is rectilinear.  
   
   
       9 . The showerhead assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said showerhead is generally perpendicular to said support.  
   
   
       10 . The showerhead assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said showerhead dispenses water as a sheet.  
   
   
       11 . A shower comprising: 
 a first shower wall;    a second shower wall;    a support mounted to said first wall and said second wall; and    a showerhead mounted to said support.    
   
   
       12 . The shower as recited in  claim 11 , further comprising a drive to move said showerhead along said support.  
   
   
       13 . The shower as recited in  claim 11 , wherein said support extends from a top of said first wall and a top of said second wall.  
   
   
       14 . The shower as recited in  claim 11 , wherein said support bridges said first wall and said second wall.  
   
   
       15 . The shower as recited in  claim 11 , wherein said showerhead is mounted transverse to said support.  
   
   
       16 . A method of showering water comprising the steps of: 
 (1) locating a showerhead on a support which extends between a first shower wall and a second shower wall; and    (2) showering water from the showerhead.    
   
   
       17 . A method as recited in  claim 16 , further comprising the step of: transiting the showerhead along the support.  
   
   
       18 . A method as recited in  claim 16 , further comprising the step of: articulating the showerhead relative to the support.  
   
   
       19 . A method as recited in  claim 16 , wherein said step (2) further comprises: showering water from the showerhead as a sheet of water.
