ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to showerheads and more particularly pertains to a new perfumed shower head for mixing a fragrance or moisturizer with the water as it passes through the showerhead.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of showerheads is known in the prior art. More specifically, showerheads heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art, which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. No. 2,986,340; U.S. Pat. No. 5,957,387; U.S. Pat. No. 6,006,374; U.S. Pat. No. Des. 251,679; U.S. Pat. No. 3,801,018; and U.S. Pat. No. 2,878,066.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new perfumed shower head. The inventive device includes a body conduit that has a perimeter wall for defining a lumen. The body conduit has a coupler member positioned at an end of the body conduit. The coupler member is adapted for coupling to a water supply line such that water passes into the lumen of the body conduit when the coupler member is coupled to the water supply line. A cab member is removably couplable to the body conduit. The cap member has a plurality of apertures that extend through the cap member. The apertures are adapted for dividing water passing through the lumen of the body conduit into a plurality of streams to bathe a user. A scenting member is removably positionable within the lumen of the body conduit. The scenting member includes a porous material such that the scenting member is adapted for permitting water to flow through the scenting member. The porous material includes a scenting agent such that the scenting agent is adapted for transferring to the water and onto the bathing user when water flows through the scenting member.
In these respects, the perfumed shower head according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of mixing a fragrance or moisturizer with the water as it passes through the showerhead.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of shower heads now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new perfumed shower head construction wherein the same can be utilized for mixing a fragrance or moisturizer with the water as it passes through the shower head.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new perfumed shower head apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the shower heads mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new perfumed shower head which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art shower heads, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention generally includes a body conduit that has a perimeter wall for defining a lumen. The body conduit has a coupler member positioned at an end of the body conduit. The coupler member is adapted for coupling to a water supply line such that water passes into the lumen of the body conduit when the coupler member is coupled to the water supply line. A cab member is removably couplable to the body conduit. The cap member has a plurality of apertures that extend through the cap member. The apertures are adapted for dividing water passing through the lumen of the body conduit into a plurality of streams to bathe a user. A scenting member is removably positionable within the lumen of the body conduit. The scenting member includes a porous material such that the scenting member is adapted for permitting water to flow through the scenting member. The porous material includes a scenting agent such that the scenting agent is adapted for transferring to the water and onto the bathing user when water flows through the scenting member.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new perfumed shower head apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the shower heads mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new perfumed shower head which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art shower heads, either alone or in any combination thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new perfumed shower head, which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new perfumed shower head, which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new perfumed shower head which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such perfumed shower head economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new perfumed shower head, which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new perfumed shower head for mixing a fragrance or moisturizer with the water as it passes through the showerhead.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new perfumed shower head, which includes a body conduit that has a perimeter wall for defining a lumen. The body conduit has a coupler member positioned at an end of the body conduit. The coupler member is adapted for coupling to a water supply line such that water passes into the lumen of the body conduit when the coupler member is coupled to the water supply
