Abstract
Abstract A movable support for a bathroom shower head with handle which handle is connected to a hose. This support provides flexibility of choice of horizontal, longitudinal and angular position of the shower head on a nonporous wall, limited in that position only by the length of the shower hose it supports. This has been achieved with a lever suction cup combined with a clamp. All major parts are constructed of durable plastic materials. This suction cup support allows continual change of position and can be moved from one shower hose to another.
