Abstract: A movable shower assembly having an automatically retracting hose and a shower head capable of taking up multiple positionsThe invention relates to a assembly providing:(1) at rest, an automatically retracting hose which is compact and which therefore does not hang over associated sanitary ware;(2) in use, a greater length of hose than is possible with conventional designs; and(3) a shower head which can be put into any convenient position both when at rest and when in use, thus optimizing shower comfort, this being achieved by a suction cup fixing system (4).The shower assembly is constituted by a support (1), a hose (2), and a shower head (3), said hose is of round or shaped cross section and is wound helically to constitute a helical spring shape, and said shower head and said support together constitute a housing for enclosing said hose when retracted.

Abstract: The thermometer device enables the temperature of hot water or mixed hot and cold water to be read directly from the outlet of a tap or faucet or mixing tap or shower head. The thermometer device comprises a cylinder (1) including a conventional nozzle-type device (2) such as an anti-splash nozzle, a spray nozzle, an aerating nozzle, or a flow rate restricting nozzle. The outer circumference of the thermometer device is fitted with a liquid crystal temperature-sensitive sheet (3). This temperature-sensitive sheet is protected from ingress of water by a transparent resin envelope (4) which is sealed by a sealing ring (5). When water runs through the tap, its temperature is communicated to the temperature-sensitive sheet by conduction through the cylinder, and is then displayed thereon.
