Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A combination shower and toiletry dispenser, comprising, a hollow housing, plural chambers within said housing, a cover carried by said housing for covering the chambers, a water inlet pipe carried by said housing providing connection means for said dispenser, a pair of valve assembly means and connecting tubes carried within said housing providing control means for fluid products carried within chambers of said housing said chambers including a water or mixing chamber connected to said tubes, plungers carried by said housing with piston and piston ring means for forcing said fluid products through said tubes to the water mixing chamber of said dispenser, a shower head connected to said water mixing chamber providing a means of directing water and said fluid products from said dispenser.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
A combination shower and toiletry dispenser, comprising, a hollow housing, plural chambers within said housing, a cover carried by said housing for covering the chambers, a water inlet pipe carried by said housing providing connection means for said dispenser, a pair of valve assembly means and connecting tubes carried within said housing providing control means for fluid products carried within chambers of said housing said chambers including a water or mixing chamber connected to said tubes, plungers carried by said housing with piston and piston ring means for forcing said fluid products through said tubes to the water mixing chamber of said dispenser, a shower head connected to said water mixing chamber providing a means of directing water and said fluid products from said dispenser.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
125 words
A combination shower and toiletry dispenser, comprising, a hollow housing, plural chambers within said housing, a cover carried by said housing for covering the chambers, a water inlet pipe carried by said housing providing connection means for said dispenser, a pair of valve assembly means and connecting tubes carried within said housing providing control means for fluid products carried within chambers of said housing said chambers including a water or mixing chamber connected to said tubes, plungers carried by said housing with piston and piston ring means for forcing said fluid products through said tubes to the water mixing chamber of said dispenser, a shower head connected to said water mixing chamber providing a means of directing water and said fluid products from said dispenser.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
125 words
A combination shower and toiletry dispenser, comprising, a hollow housing, plural chambers within said housing, a cover carried by said housing for covering the chambers, a water inlet pipe carried by said housing providing connection means for said dispenser, a pair of valve assembly means and connecting tubes carried within said housing providing control means for fluid products carried within chambers of said housing said chambers including a water or mixing chamber connected to said tubes, plungers carried by said housing with piston and piston ring means for forcing said fluid products through said tubes to the water mixing chamber of said dispenser, a shower head connected to said water mixing chamber providing a means of directing water and said fluid products from said dispenser.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
124 words
The combination according to claim 1, wherein said plungers of said device are slideably carried within cylinders in the lower extremity of said device and said plungers include a piston and its connected ring means for compressing and urgIng fluid out of the valve assembly associated with its particular fluid containing chamber, said valve assembly including two check valves, said plunger causing one check valve to close and the other to open up said valve assembly, the result being, that said fluid is urged upwards through a tube into said mixing chamber and thus water when passing through the inlet pipe of said dispenser, will mingle with said fluid and thus dispense said fluid out of the shower head connecting with said mixing chamber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
93 words
The combination according to claim 2, wherein said plungers are spring-returned to their full extended position external of said housing of said dispenser by said spring being carried upon said plunger between an in-wall which serves as stop means and against the piston ring means of said plunger and when said spring returns to said plunger it simultaneously causes suction to take place and gravity to enact upon said fluid so that it enters one of said check valves of said valve assembly while the other of said valve within said assembly closes.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
59 words
The combination according to claim 3, wherein when one of said plungers of said device is activated by manual pressure with the fingers, it urges a pre-determined quantity of said fluid into said mixing chamber and thus said fluid and said water is dispensed simultaneously from said shower head at the lower extremity of said housing of said device.
