ABSTRACT:
A pivotal shower head is provided with a remotely actuatable directional control mechanism. A directional control yoke is mounted on a ball and socket pivotally adjustable shower head mounted within a protective housing. Four control cables are mounted at ninety degree intervals around the directional control yoke. The cables are each received for longitudinal movement within individual cable sheaths. The cable sheaths extend within a rigid tube to a remotely located joystick control housing. A master control yoke is connected to a ball and socket pivotally mounted joystick. Ends of the control cables are mounted at ninety degree intervals to the master control yoke. The pivotal shower head is adjusted by tensioning of the individual cables in response to movement of a joystick control lever. The joystick control housing has an upper surface provided with a receptacle for use as a soap dish.
