Patent Application

The present invention is related to a showerhead disposition structure, and more specifically to a showerhead that can change its angle by engaging with a movable recessed arc to achieve the goal of easily adjusting the angle of the showerhead.
In today's bathrooms and shower rooms, most people use a showerhead as shower equipment, and the showerhead is with a showerhead base set up at the wall to allow the user to hang the showerhead when taking a shower, so the user can use his/her hands to wash the body and enjoy the pleasure of the shower. Conventionally, the showerhead base has a conjugation base, one side of which is connected to the wall, and the other side recessedly forms a C-shaped engaging slot having an engaging arm on each side thereof to conjugate with the showerhead, so the showerhead can be hung on the wall. However, there is only a fixed angle for the showerhead to be hung on the wall, and the angle of water output from the showerhead cannot be adjusted. The user then has to adjust his/her own position to wash each portion of the body, which is inconvenient for the user. In addition, the engaging arms may not be strong enough to hold the showerhead, so the engaging arms may be broken or damaged when being used for a long period of time.
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention: (1) there is only a fixed angle for the showerhead to be hung on the wall, and the angle of water output from the showerhead cannot be adjusted. The user then has to adjust his/her own position to wash each portion of the body, which is inconvenient for the user; and (2) the engaging arms of conventional showerhead bases may not be strong enough to hold the showerhead, so the engaging arms may be broken or damaged when being used for a long period of time.
The present invention provides a structure for hanging a showerhead including a fixed base, and one end of the fixed base has a mounting surface and the other end has a conjugating portion. The structure also has a supporting unit having two clamping arms and two conjugating arms, wherein one side of the clamping arms has a wedging surface that has two conjugating recessed arcs with an inclined angle corresponding to the mounting surface of the fixed base. The inclined angle of one recessed arc is smaller than the other recessed arc. The wedging surface has two conjugating surfaces extending from one end thereof, and the other end of the clamping arms has an engaging surface. The conjugating arms are a shell body, one side of which has a conjugating opening for conjugating the engaging surface of the clamping arms. One end of the conjugating opening has a connecting end extending therefrom, and the connecting end engages with the conjugating portion of the fixed base to form a structure for hanging the showerhead.
Comparing with conventional techniques, the present invention has the following advantages:
(a) when the user hangs the showerhead at the hanging space or the other hanging space, the angle for the showerhead to move up and down can be adjusted with different inclined angles of the conjugating recessed arcs to further adjust the water shower angle of the showerhead; and (b) since the engaging surface of the clamping arms of the supporting unit has the reinforced frame and the reinforced rib, and the conjugating opening of the conjugating arms has reinforced rib pieces to strengthen the structure of the supporting unit and reduce processing materials of the supporting unit to reduce manufacturing costs.

In an alternative embodiment, as shown in
According to the structure shown in the embodiments, the present invention has the following advantages: (a) when the user hangs the showerhead (B) at the hanging space (A1) or the other hanging space (A2), the angle for the showerhead (B) to move up and down can be adjusted with different inclined angles of the conjugating recessed arcs (212) (2120) to further adjust the water shower angle of the showerhead (B); and (b) since the engaging surface (214) of the clamping arms (21) (210) of the supporting unit (20) has the reinforced frame (215) and the reinforced rib (216), and the conjugating opening (221) of the conjugating arms (22) (220) has reinforced rib pieces (222) to strengthen the structure of the supporting unit (20) and reduce processing materials of the supporting unit (20) to reduce manufacturing costs.
Having described the invention by the description and illustrations above, it should be understood that these are exemplary of the invention and are not to be considered as limiting. Accordingly, the invention is not to be considered as limited by the foregoing description, but includes any equivalent
