ABSTRACT:
A dual shower head assembly for use in personal showers to allow two people to shower independently at the same time, one person to shower in a conventional manner or one person to shower with two separate sprays. The assembly includes an upper shower head, a lower shower head, a substantially "S"-shaped connecting conduit, a diverter valve assembly and an adjustable shut-off valve. The diverter valve assembly is adapted for threaded engagement with the water supply pipe protruding from the shower wall and defines a pair of water outlets, one of which communicates with and is pivotally connected to the lower end of the connecting conduit. The shut-off valve is carried by the diverter valve assembly and communicates with the other of the water outlets in the diverter valve for selectively allowing water flow therethrough. The lower shower head communicates with and is pivotally mounted on the shut-off valve, downstream of the diverter valve. The upper shower head communicates with and is pivotally mounted on the upper end of the connecting conduit. The diverter valve restricts the flow of water and selectively allows water passing therethrough from the water supply pipe to flow only to the shut-off valve or both to the shut-off valve and to the connecting conduit whereby through the coordination of the diverter valve assembly and the shut-off valve, water can be directed to spray only through said lower first shower head, only through said upper shower head, through both shower heads concurrently or through neither shower head. The pivotal mounting of the individual shower heads and "S"- shaped configuration of the connecting conduit provides a substantial flexibility in the positioning of the water spray or sprays for one or two persons.
