Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
An assembly of the character described, the combination comprising: a. an elongated rod adapted to be mounted on the wall of a shower, b. a shower head having a flexible hose for connection to a source of water for said shower head, c. a holder for said shower head, said holder having means for enabling said shower head to be moved to a plurality of positions relative to said holder, d. a support block having a recess forming a cylindrical wall therethrough, the diameter of said recess being slightly less than the diameter of said rod to thereby slidably mount and frictionally hold said support block at any desired position relative to said rod, and e. means for securing said holder to said support block, said means serving to vary the degree of said frictional engagement by controlling the pressure exerted by said holder against said support block.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
148 words
An assembly of the character described, the combination comprising: a. an elongated rod adapted to be mounted on the wall of a shower, b. a shower head having a flexible hose for connection to a source of water for said shower head, c. a holder for said shower head, said holder having means for enabling said shower head to be moved to a plurality of positions relative to said holder, d. a support block having a recess forming a cylindrical wall therethrough, the diameter of said recess being slightly less than the diameter of said rod to thereby slidably mount and frictionally hold said support block at any desired position relative to said rod, and e. means for securing said holder to said support block, said means serving to vary the degree of said frictional engagement by controlling the pressure exerted by said holder against said support block.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
An assembly as set forth in claim 1 further comprising a soap dish slidably mounted and frictionally held at any desired position on said elongated rod.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
An assembly as set forth in claim 2 wherein said soap dish is mounted on a support block by securing means, said support block having a recess forming a cylindrical wall extending therethrough the diameter of said recess being slightly less than the diameter of said elongated rod.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
An assembly as set forth in claim 3 wherein said support block is made of plastic like material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
An assembly as set forth in claim 3 wherein said cylindrical wall frictionally engages said elongated rod to hold said soap dish at a desired position on said rod and the amount of frictional engagement can be controlled by said securing means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
57 words
An assembly as set forth in claim 1 wherein said shower head has an extension on one end thereof and said shower head holder has a plurality of spaced-apart recesses therein such that when said extension is separately positioned in each of said recesses, said shower head is at a different angle with respect to the vertical.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
An assembly as set forth in claim 1 wherein said support block is made of plastic-like material.
