Abstract: An adjustable height shower apparatus comprises a rigid framework of fluid conduits to which a plurality of sprayers is attached in an arrangement of sprayers, the fluid conduits defining fluid passageways from a fluid inlet port to the arrangement of sprayers, whereby pressurized water is able to flow from the fluid inlet port to the arrangement of sprayers; and a mounting assembly comprising a mounting component configured for attachment at a fixed position on a wall in a shower stall or bathtub installation, the framework and arrangement of sprayers attached thereto being adjustable and lockable at different desired heights on the mounting component. The arrangement of sprayers may comprise a plurality of sprayers arranged in a circumferential manner along an oval portion of the framework.

Abstract: A shower apparatus includes: a mounting bracket or mounting component; and a rigid component or shower panel. The shower panel includes one or more spray arrangements of sprayers, spray arrays, or spray patterns, and fluid passageways connecting water input to the one or more spray arrangements. The shower apparatus further includes a water flow control assembly for selecting a single flow from a plurality of flows to different combinations of the spray arrangements. The water flow control assembly comprises a plurality of buttons, a constrained strip, and a plurality of valves. A button when selected deflects the constrained strip—which is constrained and capable of deflection at a single location—into a corresponding valve to activate flow through the valve. This deflection straightens a previous deflection, thereby closing the previously open valve.

Abstract: A shower apparatus includes a ceiling mounting assembly and a plurality of tensioning lines; and a framework and arrangement of sprayers suspended thereby. The ceiling mounting assembly includes a spool in engagement with the tension lines such that winding of the spool in a first rotational direction results retraction of the tensioning lines into the ceiling mounting assembly and raising of the suspended assembly, and unwinding of the spool in a second, opposite rotational direction results in extension of the tensioning lines out of the ceiling mounting assembly and lowering of the suspended assembly. The ceiling mounting assembly further includes a spring that biases rotation of the spool; and the ceiling mounting assembly defines an opening through which access to the exposed end of the spool is provided for winding and unwinding of the spool by a person standing under the ceiling mounting assembly.
