Vertical positioning shower attachment

Abstract

The invention is directed to a shower assembly which can be placed in a standard shower enclosure which receives pressurized water from the existing plumbing. Such shower assembly comprises a vertical assembly positioned within an outer housing. The vertical assembly includes a positioning rod which maintains a rotatable belt. A dispenser having a shower head with jet sprays is affixed to the belt and capable of moving about the positioning rod. Positioned proximate the positioning rod is a hydraulic turbine which engages the belt to move the dispenser about a user. The hydraulic turbine includes an inlet capable of receiving pressurized water and directing the pressurized water into a turbine wheel to position the dispenser. Optionally, the assembly can include a controller which directs both the hydraulic turbine but also the dispenser. The controller includes a processor, a memory device, a power supply and a display.

         7 . A shower assembly, comprising:
 an outer housing;   a vertical assembly positioned within the outer housing;   a dispenser capable of moving about the vertical assembly; and   a hydraulic turbine having an inlet capable of receiving pressurized water and directing the pressurized water into a turbine wheel located within an outer casing, the pressurized water capable of rotating the turbine wheel, a stationary gear rotatable within the outer casing which connects to a crank shaft that communicates with the vertical assembly, a toggle gear positioned between the turbine wheel and the stationary gear which functions to rotate the stationary gear in either a first direction or a second direction, and an outlet capable of supplying pressurized water to the dispenser.   
     
     
         8 . The shower assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the vertical assembly includes a vertical positioning rod with a top side and corresponding bottom side, wherein the top side includes a top positioning bracket while the bottom side includes a bottom positioning bracket, and a belt operable with both the positioning brackets. 
     
     
         9 . The shower assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the outer housing having a back panel, a first side panel, second side panel and a front panel having an opening of sufficient size and dimension to allow protrusion of the dispenser. 
     
     
         10 . The shower assembly of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a controller and having a processor operable with a dispenser, a memory device, a power supply and a display operable with the processor.   
     
     
         11 . The shower assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the dispenser includes a shower head having a plurality of spray jets which allow various settings. 
     
     
         12 . The shower assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the dispenser can further includes a central housing containing a plurality of sensors, a fluid container for which maintaining a cleanser and a spindle brush powered by a rotation motor. 
     
     
         13 . A shower assembly, comprising:
 an outer housing;   a vertical assembly positioned within the outer housing;   a dispenser capable of moving about the vertical assembly;   a hydraulic turbine having an inlet capable of receiving pressurized water and directing the pressurized water into a turbine wheel in order to position the dispenser; and   a controller having a processor, a memory device, a power supply and a display, wherein the controller communicates with the dispenser and the hydraulic turbine.
