Abstract

Disclosed herein is a shower system having a nozzle supported by a carriage that travels along tracks in a shower tower housing. The carriage includes wheeled components pivotably connected together and biased apart at one end by a spring. It also includes a brake that is urged against a track by the spring to hold the body spray nozzle at a given height. The brake can be released by pulling the body spray nozzle outwardly to compress the spring. The carriage may then be slid vertically along the track to move the body spray nozzle to the desired height. Releasing the body spray nozzle re-engages the brake, which holds the body spray nozzle at the selected height.
