Abstract: A shower head support comprises a supporting tube (14) on which a sliding element (46) with an adjustable seat for a shower head (52) can slide and be locked in position. The tube or arm on which the sliding element slides is supported at only one end on a fixed base (12) so that it can be rotated to assume and maintain a desired position around an axis of rotation (a). The new support allows the shower head to be set at a desired height using an arm half the length of the vertical arms commonly used at the present that are fixed at both ends; it also allows the shower head to be set easily in a variety of desired positions around the axis of rotation.
