BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a device positionable upstream from a shower nozzle for dispensing solid, water-soluble or water-dispersible materials.
Shower users have wished to find again or to find in the shower the possibility of receiving water charged with a foaming or perfumed or washing product: just as the person in his bath can add foaming or perfumed or washing products to the water.
Until the present, shower users have had two possibilities: either using devices only distributing such products solely in liquid form, or covering themselves with such products before any washing or rinsing.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Also, one of the aims of the present invention is to provide a distributor device for solid foaming or perfumed or washing products, which is situated upstream of a shower nozzle.
Another aim of the present invention is to provide such a device which does not necessitate any adaptation of the existing shower apparatus.
These aims, and also others which will become apparent hereinbelow, are addressed by a device positionable upstream from a shower nozzle for dispensing solid, water-soluble or water-dispersible products, which is characterised according to the present invention in that it comprises, firstly, a tubular body, one end or first end of which is provided with a circular flange and comprises an internal thread defining a first shoulder, and the other end of which, or second end, is likewise threaded, secondly, a cylindrical connecting piece comprising a circular abutment and two threads on either side thereof, a first thread or external thread, the diameter of which permits cooperation with the hose of a shower, and a second thread or internal thread, the diameter of which permits the screwing of this piece in the second end of the body, the end of this internal thread constituting a second shoulder, and in that inside this body and between the first and the second shoulder a chamber is defined, the wall of the body comprising at this level a window for the introduction of a solid product in this chamber, a sealing ring being situated around said body and being able to slide between the circular flange and the circular abutment.
Advantageously this distributor device comprises a first circular joint between the tubular body and the internal thread; a second circular joint is arranged between the window and the circular flange, a third circular joint being arranged in the sealing ring.
Advantageously, the connecting piece comprises a grid at the level of the second shoulder.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The following description, which does not comprise any restrictive character, must be read with regard to the attached figures, in which:
FIG. 1 is a front view of a distributor device according to the present invention,
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section of the object of FIG. 1 according to the line II--II.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
As can be seen in the figures, a distributor device for a solid product comprises a tubular body 1, one end 2 or first end of which is provided with a circular flange 3 and comprises an internal thread 4 defining a first shoulder 5 inside this tubular body 1. By this thread, the distributor device according to the invention can be fixed to the outlet of a tap or to the rear of a shower nozzle.
This distributor device also comprises a cylindrical connecting piece 6 which comprises a circular abutment 7 on either side of which there are situated two threads: a first thread 8, or external thread, allowing the distributor device to be screwed to the hose of a shower, and a second thread 9, or external thread, allowing the screwing of the connecting piece 6 in the second end of the tubular body 1. The free end of this second thread 9 constitutes a second shoulder 10. Inside the tubular body 1, a chamber 11 is therefore defined by the internal wall thereof and the first 5 and second 10 shoulders. The tubular body 1 is provided at the level of this chamber 11, especially at the level of the first shoul
