Abstract

A shower system of exposed type is disclosed, comprising a main flow passage connected to a water supply; at least two conduits which are in communication with the main flow passage and connected in pair and horizontally to two sides of the main flow passage; at least two shower spray spouts in communication with the at least two conduits, and the shower spray spouts being carried at respective outer ends of the conduits; wherein the conduits are arranged such that the shower spray spouts are in a 180° counter sit relationship with respect to the main flow passage and are combined with the conduits to define a shower stall.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An exposed shower system comprising:
 a main flow passage connected to a water supply;   at least two conduits which are in communication with the main flow passage and connected in pair and horizontally to two sides of the main flow passage;   at least two shower spray spouts in communication with the at least two conduits, and the shower spray spouts being carried at respective outer ends of the conduits;   wherein the conduits are arranged such that the shower spray spouts are in a 180° counter sit relationship with respect to the main flow passage and are combined with the conduits to define a shower stall,   the shower further comprising a diverter means installed on and in communication with the main flow passage for controlling the spray spouts to out-flow water individually or simultaneously and/or for controlling the temperature of the outflow water;   wherein the diverter means comprises a diverter having a plurality of outputs for directing water to the corresponding spray spouts individually or simultaneously;   characterized in that a built-in venturi injection mechanism is connected to an input of the diverter for introducing air, health care fluids or health care powders to blend with water flowing into the diverter, allowing for improving the pressure of water and providing a healthy and refreshing shower.   
     
     
         2 . An exposed shower system comprising:
 a main flow passage connected to a water supply;   at least two conduits which are in communication with the main flow passage and connected in pair and horizontally to two sides of the main flow passage;   at least two shower spray spouts in communication with the at least two conduits, and the shower spray spouts being carried at respective outer ends of the conduits;   wherein the conduits are arranged such that the shower spray spouts are in a 180° counter sit relationship with respect to the main flow passage and are combined with the conduits to define a shower stall,   the shower further comprising a diverter means installed on and in communication with the main flow passage for controlling the spray spouts to out-flow water individually or simultaneously and/or for controlling the temperature of the outflow water;   wherein the diverter means comprises a diverter having a plurality of outputs for directing water to the corresponding spray spouts individually or simultaneously;   characterized in that a plurality of venturi injection mechanisms corresponding to the number of the outputs of the diverter is provided, said venturi injection mechanisms being disposed at the respective outputs of the diverter for introducing air, health care fluids or health care powders to blend with water flowing into the diverter.   
     
     
         3 . The exposed shower system as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the venturi injection mechanism is used to direct the water output individually to one of the spray spouts corresponding to the head, the face, the mouth, the shoulders, the waist, the thighs and the feet, or a combination of two or more of these spray spouts. 
     
     
         4 . The exposed shower system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the outer end of each of the at least two conduits is connected to an “I”-shaped tube or an “S”-shaped tube on which the shower spray spouts corresponding to shoulders, waist and thighs of the user are arranged. 
     
     
         5 . The exposed shower system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the system comprises six conduits symmetrical about the main flow passage to horizontally form three pairs of conduits and positioned at different vertical heights so as to correspond to shoulders, waist and thighs of the user, respectively. 
     
     
         6 . The exposed shower system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the shower system further comprises a facial spray spout in communication with and disposed at an upper part of the shower system, and a mouth spray spout adjacent to the facial spray to provide mouth and gum care to the user. 
     
     
         7 . The exposed shower system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the shower system further comprises an overhead shower spray spout, and a foot spray spout in communication with and disposed at a lower part of the shower system. 
     
     
         8 . The exposed shower system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a mixing valve through which hot and cold water sources flow is included in the diverter means, and the mixing valve is in communication with the built-in venturi injection mechanism. 
     
     
         9 . The exposed shower system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a housing is provided to receive the main flow passage, the diverter means and other parts of the system. 
     
     
         10 . The exposed shower system as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the health care fluids or the health care powders are supplied from a dispenser arranged on the housing. 
     
     
         11 . The exposed shower system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the system further comprises a mixing valve through which hot and cold water sources flow into the main flow passage. 
     
     
         12 . The exposed shower system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the shower spray spouts are moveable through a 45° arc. 
     
     
         13 . The exposed shower system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the shower spray spouts are further provided with a massage function. 
     
     
         14 . The exposed shower system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the main flow passage is adjustable vertically to satisfy the preference of a user. 
     
     
         15 . The exposed shower system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connections between the conduits and the main flow passage are accomplished in a threaded manner or in a snap-in manner. 
     
     
         16 . The exposed shower system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the system is prefabricated as one piece.
