ABSTRACT:
An improved shower arrangement is provided for invalid bathing units and the like, such as those comprising a sit-down bathtub having a lateral opening in one side to permit ingress and egress therethrough, and a vertically slidable door to selectively open and close the bathtub opening. The shower arrangement includes a plurality of fine-spray, wide-angle nozzles mounted along the left and right-hand sides of the bathtub, which collectively produce a gentle, blanket-like mist that completely covers the front of the bather. Preferably, a separate, fan-spray nozzle is mounted on the rear wall of the bathtub, and flows a thin sheet or film of water therealong, which cushions and baths the back and bottom of the seated invalid. Pressurized water is supplied to the spray nozzle located in the door by two mating fittings, which are mounted on the bathtub and the door respectively, such that when the door is closed, the fittings are converged into sealing abutment to communicate a source of pressurized water with a supply manifold for the nozzles.
