  • Publication number: 20110167556
    Abstract: A shower apparatus comprises a water inlet directing water into a container that is structurally supported by and connected to the interior of a shower enclosure. The container has one or more hinged joints that connect to structural supports and allow the container to rotate axially. The container includes an automatic water shut off to stop the flow of water from the water inlet when the container is full, a heating element to heat water in the container and a heating element monitor to prevent overheating. The container has both an outside handle to manually pull the container, rotating it axially latitudinally, and a motion sensor and a sensor activated motor to automatically rotate the container. The container is emptied by rotating latitudinally, thereby causing the contents to be released onto the user in a deluge of water. The speed of rotation can be dialed in to vary the intensity of the expression of water. Water temperature is controlled by mixing hot and cold water to the desired ratio.
