Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a children's shower, in particular a shower head for domestic use, which can be connected to commercially available ½-inch shower hoses and is specifically designed to meet the needs and use of children. State of the art

[0002] Popular hand showers and shower systems are predominantly designed for adults. They often require fixed installation or special brackets that are difficult to adjust in height. For children, operating such systems is usually too cumbersome and unappealing. Furthermore, existing solutions often lack a playful element that motivates children to shower or bathe independently and with enjoyment. Popular children's shower systems also generally do not allow for tool-free mounting on smooth wall or glass surfaces. Description of the invention; Task of the invention

[0003] The invention aims to provide a children's shower that can be attached to smooth surfaces such as tiled or glass walls without tools, whose height and position can be changed independently by the child, which has a child-friendly and playfully appealing design, and which increases the fun and motivation of the child showering through interchangeable animal masks and attachable accessories or toys. Solution to the task

[0004] This problem is solved by a children's shower with the features of claim 1.

[0005] The children's shower according to the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that it: - can be connected to any standard ½-inch shower hose, - has a shower body in the shape of an animal body (for example, a caterpillar), - made of an elastic, waterproof plastic material, - and has several suction cups on its back, which allow for tool-free, releasable attachment to smooth surfaces.

[0006] At the front of the animal body is an interchangeable mask element that represents the facial shape of the respective animal. This mask can be attached or removed by the child with one hand to use different facial designs. The shower body can also be equipped with attachment points to which small toys or decorative items can be attached.

[0007] Furthermore, the children's shower can optionally be combined with a diverter valve that attaches directly to the mixer tap. This valve has two connection points for shower hoses and allows the water to be diverted either to the main shower or to the children's shower. This enables easy and safe use of the children's shower without having to change the shower hose. Example of implementation

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the children's shower has an elongated, segmented body that visually resembles a caterpillar. Each segment has suction cups that allow for variable height adjustment along the wall. The shower head with the interchangeable animal mask is located on the front segment. Water exits from several small openings on the side of the segmented body facing away from the wall. The body is preferably made of elastic plastic or silicone, allowing it to be easily bent and individually adapted to the shape of the wall, shower, or bathtub. For additional entertainment and brand engagement, the product includes an accompanying book that tells the adventures of "Willy the Washerworm" (WAWUWI). A matching animal mask with a new design can be purchased and attached to each new story in the book series.

[0009] In another version, a diverter valve is integrated into the mixing valve, allowing the connection of two shower hoses. Using an easy-to-operate lever or rotary mechanism, the user can switch between the conventional shower and the "Willi the Worm" children's shower. This version allows for convenient installation without having to remove the existing shower head.
