ABSTRACT:
In brief, the invention includes a portable shower and spray apparatus which is adapted to selectively direct a jet of water in a desired direction. The apparatus includes a generally planar base which is adapted to be placed directly on the ground or suspended from an elevated anchoring point. Attached to one side of the base is a housing which is sized and positioned so as to enclose a portion of a water conduit. The conduit has a terminal end which may conveniently be connected to a water hose of the type commonly used to water a yard or a garden; the conduit also has a functional end with a shower head attached thereto. Mounted at an intermediate location of the water conduit is a control valve for regulating the amount of water which exits the shower head. The preferred planar base covers an area of nearly 170 square inches, which makes the apparatus very stable when it is resting directly on the ground, and it is not easily tipped over. Attached near one end of the base is a means for selectively suspending the apparatus from an elevated anchoring point. The suspension means preferably constitutes a flexible rope having two ends. To ensure that the rope does not become separated from the base (and lost), at least one end of the rope is permanently connected to one side of the portable base, the second end of the rope may then be removably connected to the opposite side of the base. By using a flexible rope as the suspension means, the base may be attached to any of a variety of elevated anchoring points.
