Bodyspray having adjustable spray orientation
A bodyspray assembly is provided that includes a coupling assembly connected to a spray face. The spray face is operable to emit a directed spray having an omni-directionally adjustable angular orientation. Hence, a spray face in the form of a tile having an array of outlets can direct spray in a variety of directions, or be parallel to a mounting wall for decorative purposes.
1. A bodyspray assembly mountable on a wall, the bodyspray assembly being configured to receive supply water from a source and emit the supply water as a directed spray, the bodyspray assembly comprising:
a bi-directional coupling assembly including a housing rotatable about a first axis and a body rotatable about a second axis, the coupling assembly receiving the supply water; and
a spray outlet assembly including an array of nozzles extending through a spray face, the nozzles receiving the supply water from the coupling assembly and outputting the supply water as a directed spray, the spray outlet assembly being connected to the bi-directional coupling assembly such that the nozzles and spray face are pivotable about both the first and second axes that are orthogonal with respect to each other; and
an escutcheon configured for mounting on the wall, the escutcheon surrounding the spray face;
wherein the housing is a water flow housing supported by a waterway member, wherein the water flow housing is rotatable with respect to the waterway member about the first axis;
wherein the body comprises an elbow waterway body supported by the water flow housing, the elbow waterway body being rotatable with respect to the water flow housing about the second axis.
2. The bodyspray assembly of claim 1 ,
wherein the waterway member comprises a pair of arms supporting the water flow housing, at least one of the arms providing an outlet that delivers the supply water to the water flow housing;
wherein the water flow housing is rotatable along an axis passing through the arms.
3. A bodyspray assembly mountable on a wall, the bodyspray assembly being configured to receive supply water from a source and emit the supply water as a directed spray, the bodyspray assembly comprising:
a bi-directional coupling assembly including a housing rotatable about a first axis and a body rotatable about a second axis, the coupling assembly receiving the supply water; and
a spray outlet assembly including an array of nozzles extending through a spray face, the nozzles receiving the supply water from the coupling assembly and outputting the supply water as a directed spray, the spray outlet assembly being connected to the bi-directional coupling assembly such that the nozzles and spray face are pivotable about both the first and second axes; and
an escutcheon configured for mounting on the wall, the escutcheon surrounding the spray face such that the spray face is substantially flush with respect to the wall;
wherein the housing is a water flow housing supported by a waterway member, wherein the water flow housing is rotatable with respect to the waterway member about the first axis;
wherein the body comprises a first elbow waterway body supported by the water flow housing, the elbow waterway body being rotatable with respect to the water flow housing about the second axis;
the bodyspray assembly further comprising a second elbow waterway body supported by the water flow housing, the second elbow waterway body rotatable with respect to the water flow housing about the second axis.
4. The bodyspray assembly as recited in claim 3 , wherein the water flow housing comprises an inlet and a first and second radial outlet, the first and second elbow waterway bodies rotatably received in first and second radial outlets, respectively.
