Timepiece shower head
View Patent ↗A modified shower head provides a timepiece imbedded within a shower head insert allowing a person showering to keep track of time and also to monitor water usage. It also provides the person showering with a timing mechanism to determine the length of time for use of hair products, tints, dyes and treatments without having to reference an outside timepiece. The insert comprises a timepiece within an encased water-proof enclosure within the shower head insert.
1. An improvement to shower heads providing an interchangeable waterproof timepiece member for replacing a shower cone regulator insert within a shower head cone which is pivotally and rotatably attached to a shower pipe stem emanating from a wall within a shower or bath, said improvement comprising:
an interchangeable waterproof timepiece member defining
a shower piece insert having a connecting means on a rear surface attached within said shower head cone as was the original shower cone regulator insert being replaced,
an outer perimeter elevation having an O-ring groove for insertion of an O-ring,
an O-ring, and
a front surface defining an externally threaded rim and an inner cavity, said inner cavity containing a sealed timepiece with an ornamental background, a rubber seal washer maintaining a waterproof compression seal between said sealed timepiece and said inner cavity and an internally threaded outer seal ring having an open timepiece display orifice, retaining an outer portion of said sealed timepiece within said inner cavity.
2. The improvement, as disclosed in claim 1 , said sealed timepiece further comprising:
a clock face, either digital or analog, an inner chamber wherein a low voltage power supply operates a clockwork assembly, and
a waterproof seal cap on a rear portion of said sealed timepiece forming a watertight seal to said sealed timepiece.
3. The improvement, as disclosed in claim 1 , further comprising:
said O-ring is made from flexible rubber, compressible to form a tight seal between said shower piece insert and said shower cone to allow a controlled flow of water around said O-ring, similar to said shower cone regulator insert being replaced, to maintain the same showering function as the original shower head;
said rubber seal washer tightly conforming to said sealed timepiece and deformable allowing said sealed timepiece to be compressed within said inner cavity and retained without movement once said internally threaded outer seal ring is applied to said externally threaded rim of said shower piece insert.
4. The improvement, as disclosed in claim 1 , further comprising:
said O-ring is made from flexible rubber, compressible to form a tight seal between said shower piece insert and said shower cone to allow a controlled flow of water around said O-ring, similar to said shower cone regulator insert being replaced, to maintain the same shower function as the original shower head;
said rubber seal washer tightly conforming to said sealed timepiece and deformable allowing said sealed timepiece to be compressed within said inner cavity and retained without movement once said internally threaded outer seal ring is applied to said externally threaded rim of said shower piece insert; and
said sealed timepiece further comprising a clock face, either digital or analog, an inner chamber wherein a low voltage power supply operates a clockwork assembly, and a waterproof seal cap on a rear portion of said sealed timepiece forming a watertight seal to said sealed timepiece.
5. An improvement to shower heads providing an interchangeable waterproof timepiece member for replacing a shower cone regulator insert within a shower head cone which is pivotally and rotatably attached to a shower pipe stem emanating from a wall within a shower or bath, the improvement comprising:
an interchangeable waterproof timepiece member defining a shower piece insert having an externally threaded nipple on a rear surface inserted into an internally threaded female receiver within the shower head cone,
an outer perimeter elevation having an O-ring groove for insertion of an O-ring,
an O-ring, and
a front surface defining an externally threaded rim and an inner cavity, said inner cavity containing a sealed timepiece with an ornamental background, a rubber seal washer maintaining a waterproof compression seal between said sealed timepiece and said inner cavity and an internally threaded outer seal ring having an open timepiece display orifice, retaining an outer portion of said sealed timepiece within said inner cavity.
6. The improvement, as disclosed in claim 5 , said sealed timepiece further comprising:
a clock face, either digital or analog, an inner chamber wherein a low voltage power supply operates a clockwork assembly, and
a waterproof seal cap on a rear portion of said sealed timepiece forming a watertight seal to said sealed timepiece.
7. The improvement, as disclosed in claim 5 , further comprising:
said O-ring is made from flexible rubber, compressible to form a tight seal between said shower piece insert and said shower cone to allow a controlled flow of water around said O-ring, similar to said shower cone regulator insert being replaced, to maintain the same shower function as the original shower head;
said rubber seal washer tightly conforming to said sealed timepiece and deformable allowing said sealed timepiece to be compressed within said inner cavity and retained without movement once said internally threaded outer seal ring is applied to said externally threaded rim of said shower piece insert.
8. The improvement, as disclosed in claim 5 , further comprising:
said O-ring is made from flexible rubber, compressible to form a tight seal between said shower piece insert and said shower cone to allow a controlled flow of water around said O-ring, similar to said shower cone regulator insert being replaced, to maintain the same shower function as the original shower head;
said rubber seal washer tightly conforming to said sealed timepiece and deformable allowing said sealed timepiece to be compressed within said inner cavity and retained without movement once said internally threaded outer seal ring is applied to said externally threaded rim of said shower piece insert; and
said sealed timepiece further comprising a clock face, either digital or analog, an inner chamber wherein a low voltage power supply operates a clockwork assembly, and a waterproof seal cap on a rear portion of said sealed timepiece forming a watertight seal to said sealed timepiece.
