Abstract

The invention relates to a device for heating and dispensing shower gel and / or shampoo during the use of a shower, without additional energy and without the sensation of cold during use. It consists of a first connector with four end pieces, a removable female nut of size G3 / 4 (1), two male nipples of size G1 / 2 (2 and 3) and a G3 / 4 male nipple (4). It also consists of a second connector with two end pieces, a removable female nut of size G3 / 4 (5) and a male nipple of size G3 / 4 (6). It additionally consists of a copper container with an outer channel forming a loop (8), an inlet to the channel with a male nipple of size G1 / 2 (7) and an outlet from the channel with a male nipple of size G1 / 2 (10). The loop of the channel forms a reservoir (9) at the centre, and a tunnel passing through the outer channel allows access to the centre of the reservoir (9) by means of a soap pump, which is actuated by the user.

Description

[0001] Title of Invention: Heated Shower Gel and / or Shampoo Dispenser

[0002] The present invention relates to a device for heating and dispensing shower gel and / or shampoo during use of a shower, without additional energy, in order to eliminate the sensation of cold during its use.

[0003] Traditionally, the shower gel and / or shampoo we use is at a temperature lower than the ambient air and, of course, lower than the temperature of the water used in the shower. When used on our skin, we feel a cold sensation.

[0004] The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy the sensation of cold when applying shower gel and / or shampoo without using additional energy and by distributing it at the same temperature as the water used in the shower.

[0005] The principle of the device is to divert the hot water used during the shower in order to circulate it around the shower gel before use.

[0006] This system has 3 major elements:

[0007] - A 4-piece connector (brass or stainless steel) which diverts the hot water supply,

[0008] - A connection of 2 tips (brass or stainless steel) on the cold water inlet which compensates for the thickness taken on the hot water inlet.

[0009] - A container made of copper (or another material that easily transmits heat) with an outer channel forming a loop that allows the circulation of hot water and this channel forming a central tank where the shower gel and / or shampoo is located. It can also be defined as a bowl with a double outer wall that allows the circulation of hot water.

[0010] Where do we place this device?

[0011] In all homes equipped with a shower, on the wall we have hot water on the left and cold water on the right. A mixing or thermostatic tap is connected to these two inlets.

[0012] The device according to the invention is to place the connections between the wall inlets and the existing taps.

[0013] Once the taps have been removed, the connection that diverts the hot water is placed on the left and the compensating connection for the cold water on the right.

[0014] On the left connection (hot water), we place the copper container via two small hoses.

[0015] Doing so, the hot and cold water will return to their original paths.

[0016] The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:

[0017] - Figure number 1 represents in section from above, the device of the invention.

[0018] - Figure number 2 represents a cross-section of the device of the invention.

[0019] - Figure number 3 represents a section from above, a variant of the device,

[0020] - Figure number 4 represents a cross-section, a variant of the device.

[0021] With reference to these drawings, the device comprises the 3 major elements below:

[0022] - The left connection is used to divert hot water, it consists of four ends as follows: a removable female nut of dimension G3 / 4 (1) for connection to the wall, two male nipples of dimension G1 / 2 (2 and 3) for the outlet and inlet of hot water and a male nipple G3 / 4 (4) to allow the connection of the initial tap.

[0023] - The right-hand connection for cold water is only used to compensate for the thickness of the left-hand connection. It consists of two ends as follows: a removable female nut of dimension G3 / 4 (5) for connection to the wall and a male nipple G3 / 4 (6) to allow the connection of the initial tap.

[0024] - The copper container which is used to heat the shower gel and / or shampoo which is in the center, it is composed as follows: an inlet for hot water with a male nipple of dimension G1 / 2 (7), at the end of this inlet, an external channel forming a loop (8) which allows the circulation of hot water and. this hot water will heat by the transmission of heat from the copper the shower gel and / or shampoo which is in the

[0025] REPLACEMENT SHEET (RULE 26) center of the channel which forms a tank (9), at the end of this channel, an outlet for hot water with a male nipple of dimension G1 / 2 (10), finally a tunnel (11) on the front crossing the external channel allows access to the shower gel and shampoo located in the center via a soap pump, activated by the user. A PVC shell surrounding the copper container will allow to have a larger quantity of shower gel and / or shampoo in stock (12).

[0026] In the form according to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the soap pump is on the front and according to Figure 3 and Figure 4, the soap pump is on top.

[0027] The device according to the invention is particularly intended to heat shower gel and / or shampoo during use without using additional energy.

Claims

CLAIMS 1) Device for heating shower gel and / or shampoo during use, characterized in that it comprises a connector (left) with four tips, a removable female nut of size G3 / 4 (1), two male nipples of size G1 / 2 (2 and 3) and a male nipple G3 / 4 (4), a connector (right) with two tips, a removable female nut of size G3 / 4 (5) and a male nipple G3 / 4 (6) and a copper container with an external channel forming a loop (8) an inlet to the channel with a male nipple of size G1 / 2 (7), an outlet from the channel with a male nipple of size G1 / 2 (10), the loop of the channel forming a tank in the center (9), a tunnel crossing the external channel allows access to the center of the tank (11) using a soap pump, operated by the user, and a PVC shell for storing the shower gel and / or shampoo (12). 2) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the soap pump (11) is placed above and not laterally.
