(57) With the diffuser "Slot-Shower" for bubble bath or fluid soaps. The actual hydraulic system of the showers become excellent and faultless because this system replies all sanitary requirements for personal hygiene , specially to cancel all problems to soap oneself the back and legs under the knees , the hydraulic complex "Slot-Shower" is applaied between the flexible hosepipe and the main central house waterpipe, in particular the water flow is controlled like one's necessities to have a sense of wellbeing wished.













Description

INVENTION DESCRIPTION



[0001] The invention concern in a system of "Slot-Shower Mix" able to inject a quantity of fluid soap or other products inside the running water habitually used to make a shower. This system offer a remarkable help and comfort for persons with problems or unable to move normally the parts of the body. At the same time it changes a actual shower head for running water in a bath-brush.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION



[0002] The application of certain cosmetic or medical liquids to the entire body or a major portion thereupon can be facilitated by mixing them with shower water.

[0003] This procedure to mix additive between shower usage. All of this is preferably accomplished in a system of simple design to enable its manufacture and installation at low cost and to assure reliable operation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION



[0004] The Slot-Shower is made by Fig.1/A one or two case or boffies , which contain the bubble bath or other products Fig.1/A (1) , with a screw coupling Fig.1/A(2) provided with a diaphragm-gasket Fig.1/A (3) on a little water-pipe at one or two entries at screw Fig.1/A (4). Inside of the coupling Fig.1/A (4) in situated a butterfly valve Fig.1/A (6) with external command by control stick Fig.1/A (5) for to let go the product contained in the cases or bottles Fig.1/A (1).The exact quantity of product is governed by a little duct Fig.1/A (7) in the side of the main duct Fig.1/A (8) where the mixture between water and bubble bath is producted.

[0005] This Fig.1/A (8) main duct is connected to the water-pipe Fig.1/A (11) of the house water system and finishing with a screw connector Fig.1/A (12) to link the shower-flexible duct, consent so the mixture to go out.

[0006] The Slot-Shower is hanged on a wall by a flange Fig.1/A (9) covered with a boss Fig.1/A (10) directly to external water system Fig.1/A (11).

[0007] Other peculiarity of this invention is the transformation of the actual blowshower in a real bath-brush Fig.2 (13) able to supply a mixture between water and bubble bath or other products. This system allow oneself to use a single-dose Fig.3 (14) or a flux of the product liked. The bath brush Fig.2 (13) in realized by an ergonomic handle Fig.2 (13) with an appropriate space to insert the single dose Fig.3 (14) or in alternative for not use of the single dose is possible to close the flux by a screw-cap Fig.3 (20). This invention convert the actual shower head in a real bath-brush through a telescopic-tube Fig.4 (15) able to extend the handle of the brush as liked , washing one's back and legs without hard work.

[0008] The telescopic-tube Fig. 4 (15) is formed by three concentric tubes Fig. 4 (16) with changeable diameter , in the side of it there is the flexible hosepipe Fig.3 (17), and come fixed by a mechanism at spheres Fig.4 (18) which secure the blocking so consent to use the brush in the measure liked.

[0009] On the brush Fig.3 (19) there is the possibility to insert by joint a sponge or pleasant and comfortable shower. Of course the sponge is easily replaced.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS



[0010] Illustrates a "Slot Shower Dispenser Mix" in its complex, therefore includes a reservoir or a bottle for holding a bathing liquid, a mixing coupling for connection between a shower water. The system can be utilized by persons who wish to spray themselves with a cosmetic lotion or a medicinal liquid, by mixing it with shower water.
