Shower system
Described are embodiments of a shower assembly that includes modular components that can be removably attached and may be replaced or interchanged with corresponding components having different form factor or design. In some embodiments, the shower assembly includes a diverter unit fluidly coupled to a fluid source and the diverter unit is configured to selectively direct flow of fluid from the fluid source to one or both of a shower head and a hand shower. The shower head includes a first plurality of nozzles configured to dispense fluid and the shower head is configured to be removably fluidly coupled to the diverter unit. The hand shower includes a second plurality of nozzles configured to dispense fluid and fluidly coupled by a hose to the diverter unit and the hand shower is configured to be removably attachable to the diverter unit by a connector.
1. A hand shower comprising:
a spray head portion comprising a plurality of nozzles configured to dispense fluid and a back surface comprising a curved portion and a flat portion, wherein the curved portion of the back surface is dome-shaped and extends from a front surface of the spray head portion to the flat portion of the back surface; and
a handle connected to the spray head portion,
wherein the hand shower is configured to be fluidly coupled by a hose to a diverter unit of a shower assembly such that the flat portion of the back surface of the spray head portion is in full contact with a flat front-most surface of the diverter unit, the hand shower is configured to be removably attached to the diverter unit by a magnetic connector, and the spray head portion is configured to sit proud with respect to a shower head that comprises a flat front-most surface aligned with the flat front-most surface of the diverter unit, and the diverter unit such that the curved portion of the back surface of the spray head portion is located forward of a front-most surface of the shower head and the diverter unit when the flat portion of the back surface of the spray head portion is in full contact with the front-most surface of the diverter unit such that the hand shower is configured to be detached from the diverter unit when a user grabs the hand shower by the curved portion of the back surface of the spray head portion,
wherein, when the flat portion of the back surface of the hand shower is in contact with the flat front-most surface of the diverter unit, the dome-shaped curved portion of the back surface of the hand shower and the shower head form a gap that widens along the curvature of the dome-shaped curved portion of the back surface of the hand shower.
2. The hand shower of claim 1 , comprising a button that is configured to control a spray mode of the plurality of nozzles.
3. The hand shower of claim 2 , wherein the button is integrated within a diverter ring.
4. The hand shower of claim 1 , wherein the hand shower comprises the connector.
5. The hand shower of claim 1 , wherein the diverter unit comprises the connector.
6. The hand shower of claim 1 , wherein the hand shower is configured to removeably attach to the front-most surface of the diverter unit magnetically.
7. The hand shower of claim 1 , wherein the hand shower is configured to detach from the diverter unit when a pulling force is exerted on the handle.
8. The hand shower of claim 1 , wherein the spray head portion comprises a nozzle unit, wherein the plurality of nozzles are disposed through a faceplate of the nozzle unit.
9. The hand shower of claim 8 , wherein the spray head portion comprises a nozzle plate configured to sandwich the nozzle unit with the faceplate.
10. The hand shower of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of nozzles comprises a massage nozzle.
11. The hand shower of claim 1 , wherein the hand shower is connected to an electronic chip that is configured to wirelessly receive a command from a remote device to electronically control flow of fluid to the hand shower.
12. The hand shower of claim 1 , wherein, when the flat portion of the back surface of the hand shower is in contact with the flat front-most surface of the diverter unit, the dome-shaped curved portion of the back surface of the hand shower extends in front of the shower head.
