Abstract

A shower device for connection to a fixed water outlet that extends out from a vertical wall includes a T-connection having a central opening that is mountable on the water outlet. A first articulated shower-head assembly is movably mounted on one side opening of the T-connection so that a first shower-head can be manually disposed at any position in a first predetermined sector that lies in a plane normal to the wall. A second articulated shower-head assembly is movably mounted on the other side opening of the T-connection so that a second shower-head can be disposed at any position in a second predetermined sector that lies in another plane normal to the wall. There are first and second means for conducting water inside the respective assemblies from the T-connection to each of the respective shower-heads, and valve means for selectively permitting the flow of water in the T-connection from the central opening to only one of: the first water-conducting means the second water-conducting means, or both the first and second water-conducting means.
