Abstract

A shower head structure includes a showerhead made up of a main body adjustably mounted to a water outlet coupling tube and rotated in any angles wherein the main body has a limiting separation board properly preset at one side thereof to divide a water-collecting space and a concaved space at both sides thereby, and a plurality of tubular water guiding conduits protruding at preset positions of the limiting separation board thereon to communicate with both the water-collecting space and the water outlet coupling tube thereof. Each of the water guiding conduits is securely registered with a universal connector to which a water outlet spray head with various types of water outlet apertures such as net-like, tubular, or misty water outlet apertures disposed thereon is mounted thereby. Therefore, the water outlet spray heads can be individually and freely adjusted in any angles, permitting the showerhead to deliver water from various angles and in versatile patterns simultaneously for showering purpose, efficiently boosting the interest and function of the present invention in practical use.

Claims

1. A shower head structure, including a showerhead made up of a main body adjustably mounted to a water outlet coupling tube and rotated in any angles wherein the main body has a limiting separation board properly preset at one side thereof to divide a water-collecting space and a concaved space at both sides thereby, and a plurality of water guiding conduits protruding at preset positions of the limiting separation board thereon to communicate with both the water-collecting space and the water outlet coupling tube thereof;

each water guiding conduit is securely registered with a universal connector to which a water outlet spray head is mounted thereby;

therefore, the water outlet spray heads can be individually adjusted in any angles, permitting the showerhead to deliver water from various angles simultaneously for showering purpose via the spray heads freely adjusted into different angles as desired, efficiently boosting the interest and function of the present invention in practical use.

2. The shower head structure according to claim 1 wherein at the opening edge of the concaved space disposed at one side of the main body thereof is disposed a step-wise and annular inserting seat for the secure location of a decoration cover therein, and at preset positions of the decoration cover are disposed a plurality of positioning slots respectively aligned with the water outlet spray heads thereof, permitting the spray heads thereof to protrude outside the positioning slots thereof.

3. The shower head structure according to claim 1 wherein each of the universal connectors fixed to the water guiding conduits thereof can be individually engaged with one of a variety of said water outlet spray heads, said variety including outlet spray heads having one of net-like water outlet apertures, tubular water outlet apertures, and misty water outlet apertures, thereby, permitting the showerhead thereof to deliver water flow from the spray heads in versatile spray patterns accordingly.

4. The shower head structure as claimed in claim 1 wherein each water guiding conduit thereof has external threads defining thereon to be registered with internal threads defining the interior of each universal connector for secure mutual engagement thereby.

5. The shower head structure as claimed in claim 1 wherein each water guiding conduit is made in a tubular shape.
