Shower curtain rod for supplying water
A ridged, longitudinal, hollow, pipe, shower curtain rod water supply line, adjacent to a ridged, longitudinal shower curtain support rod, having brackets equally spaced apart, connecting the shower curtain rod water supply line and shower curtain support rod. A bracket is connected at each end of the shower curtain support rod and attached to the shower enclosure. A shower curtain rod water supply line joint is sealably connected to each end of the shower curtain rod water supply line and rotatably connected to the primary water spout and rotatably connected to the secondary water spout. The primary water spout and the secondary water spout is inserted into a bracket and attached to the shower enclosure; providing an added showering area on the opposite end of the shower enclosure.
The present invention relates generally to shower curtain rods and more particularly, to a shower curtain rod that supplies water.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONA shower curtain rod water supply line that is both functional and decorative, a shower curtain rod that supplies water, for the purpose of adding a showering area, opposite of the main water supply line. The advantages of an added showering area on the opposite side of the shower enclosure, enables another person to facilitate a shower at the same time; utilizing the area, conserving water, time and utility expense. Shower heads and other shower accessories are typically installed on the main water spout, swinging arms or two way valves, with hand held units, encroaching the area for a second person in utilizing the showering area, this makes it very difficult, if not impossible for a second person to shower at the same time. However, these type of attachments, swinging arm overhead or hand held units, cause stress to the main water supply line; without the aid of additional supports fastened to the vertical wall. Hand held units with long hoses, extended over to the opposite area, creates obstacles to move among the showering area and are very difficult to manage.
Initially, showering and bathing areas were designed to accommodate one person, in defiance of the maxim, “keep it simple”, certain architects have designed more and more complex showering and bathing areas, these complex designs with multiple shower heads and attachments are implemented at the time of the initial construction; and access to the main water supply line is not a problem, at once the construction process is complete, access to the main water supply line can be extremely difficult and merely impossible for the installation of a second water supply line. To complete this task, at an astronomical cost, removal of the shower fiberglass inserts, tile, moldings, wall board, insulation or any other materials used to construct the showering area will have to be removed to access the main water supply line for the new installation of an additional water supply line. Once the added water supply line is installed, complete renovation begins.
Initially, showering and bathing areas were designed for one person, unless preconception of the area was discussed for installation of an added water supply line, heretofore, there has been no shower curtain rod water supply line which can be attached to the main water supply line; that will supply water for the purpose of adding a showering area to preclude a total demolition and complete renovation of the showering area.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn accordance with the present invention, there is provided a ridged, noncorrosive, longitudinal, hollow, pipe, shower curtain rod water supply line, adjacent to a ridged, longitudinal shower curtain support rod, having brackets equally spaced apart, connecting the shower curtain rod water supply line and shower curtain support rod. A bracket is connected at each end of the shower curtain support rod and attached to the shower enclosure. A shower curtain rod water supply line joint is sealably connected to each end of the shower curtain rod water supply line and rotatably connected to the primary water spout and rotatably connected to the secondary water spout. The primary water spout and the secondary water spout is inserted into a bracket and attached to the shower enclosure; providing an added showering area on the opposite end of the shower enclosure.
