Showerhead adaptor means
First Claim
1. In a readily adjustable shower head adaptor device for use with a water outlet pipe and having a showerhead handle, a showerhead at one end of the handle, and a flexible tube interconnecting the handle and the outlet pipe for fluid communication between the showerhead and the outlet pipe, the combination:
- an elongated cylindrical body member having a longitudinal axis and having a throughbore transverse to said longitudinal axis for adjustably lengthwise receiving the outlet pipe and for pivotal adjustment about the axis of the outlet pipe;
friction means within said body member for frictional contact with the said outlet pipe;
means at one end of the body member for moving said friction means in the direction of the longitudinal axis of said body member to cause releasable frictional contact with the pipe for securing the device in a selected longitudinal and rotational position on the pipe;
handle retaining means at the other end of the body member mounted for pivotal movement about the longitudinal axis of the body member; and
screw means along the longitudinal axis of the body member for holding the handle retaining means, body member, friction means, and means for moving said frictional means in assembly with the water pipe.

Abstract
A showerhead adaptor means comprising three integral molded parts, including a middle body member for frictional mounting on a water outlet pipe, a knob on the same axis as that of the body member for frictional grasping of the outlet pipe, a socket receiving member rotatable about the axis of the body member and having a tapered internal surface on an axis intersecting the access of the body member and transverse thereto for receiving a cone shaped coupling member on an end of a flexible tube connected at the other end to the water outlet pipe. The socket member and the coupling member are releasably retained in frictional engagement by a spring biased ball detent means.
