Description

Shower set with hidden flexible hose As indicated by its title, the present description relates to a shower kit in which the shower hose and the hand-held shower head are concealed, hidden, retracted when not in use, in a housing formed for this purpose in a vertical duct which also has, inside it, a water pipe which guides the shower hose and the hand-held shower head from the tap to the upper shower head. In addition to hiding or displaying the flexible hose and the hand-held shower head, the rotation of the vertical tube also serves as a selector for the water outlet of the upper spray head or hand-held shower head. Background Currently in the shower market, more specifically in the shower market, there are a large number of forms of solutions that seek distinction and high aesthetic value. The most popular form of shower kit of this type is based on a tap having an upper outlet for supplying an upper shower head and a lower outlet for supplying a flexible hose of a hand-held shower head, and a dispensing mechanism for supplying one or the other within the tap. The flexible hose hangs below the faucet, making the shower area unobtrusive, the flexible hose is unhygienic and requires frequent replacement. In the state of the art, there are solutions to conceal the shower hose connecting the hand-held shower head with the tap, which is called flexible hose, but most existing shower hoses are based on concealing the shower hose by sliding it through holes provided for this purpose, besides the problems of humidity in these spaces and difficulty in cleaning, there are problems of noise, clogging, breakage due to friction, which makes sanitary conditions of these products impossible. In the prior art we have found some documents relating to objects or devices for concealing flexible hoses and hand-held shower heads, but as shown here they are technically very different from the invention thus outlined. Some of these documents are mentioned below. Document DE 10137966A1 relates to a wall-mounted shower kit. The kit includes a large rotation of a door-like housing about a vertical axis that, once closed, conceals the flexible hose and hand-held shower head inside thereof, along with other faucet elements and water massage nozzles. Document JP 2008200222a describes a device for concealing a flexible hose suspended on a support, wherein a door-like pivoting member about a vertical axis covers only the flexible hose. Document EP 3501356A1, entitled "sanitary fixture", describes a cabinet which conceals an automatic retraction mechanism for a flexible hose and also has a support inside to keep the shower handle in an upright position. Another document US 5870781a shows a housing covering a flexible hose and a hand held shower remains fixed and swings down onto a cavity provided in the housing. Finally, document EP 3401451A1 shows a solution for quick connection of flexible hoses and hand-held shower heads to a faucet. The invention described below includes very innovative details regarding the connection to a wall-mounted faucet, outlet selection control, and water locking and safety systems. Disclosure of Invention The shower kit with hidden flexible hose described below consists of a vertical tube, which is cylindrical in a short section of its base, which houses inside it an innovative water outlet selection mechanism which rotates only slightly, via the upper spray head or via the hand-held shower head, and deforms over its larger length to house and hide the flexible hose and the hand-held shower head. The upper end of the vertical pipe is connected to a horizontal pipe fixed to the wall. There is a joint between the two parts that conceals the internal mechanism that holds the hand held shower, which joint may be magnetic or mechanical when water flows out through the upper jet, and optionally a rotational locking mechanism to prevent accidental water flow out through the hand held shower. The horizontal duct has an adaptable wall mount at one end to hold the rod in a vertical position and a chamfer at the other end, furthest from the wall. The surface has a threaded upper shower head with outlet protrusions that can be adjusted at different angles. The cylindrical base of the shower kit conceals the innovative mechanism inside, the cartridge with axial water outlet is inserted and fixed upside down, the spindle is directed downwards, and the collector is located at the top. The reversal of its position causes it to become a water outlet selector or exchanger mechanism rather than a mixer. Mounted in this way, inverted, which functions in this way, a spindle or nozzle with a faceted or knurled surface is inserted into the water outlet of the faucet top or into a prepared water outlet in the wall, and secured to either of them, leaving a leak-proof joint. The water previously mixed in the faucet flows in through the spindle or nozzle, which was previously the outlet, now the collector. Ceramic elements previous
