A dispensing unit (104), upon activation of one or more actuators (112-1 to 112-3), configured to allow the flow of fluids and a drying unit (114) upon activation of corresponding one or more actuators, configured to supply hot air, wherein, upon activation of corresponding actuators, the dispensing unit configured to permit the flow of any or a combination of fluids from the corresponding one or more compartments to clean body parts of a user, the fluids pertaining to any or a combination of liquid and cleansing agents, and wherein, upon activation of corresponding actuators, the drying unit configured to supply hot air to dry the body parts of the user.
The present disclosure relates, in general, to dispensing units, and
more specifically, relates to a shower apparatus for dispensing liquid, cleansing agents and hot air.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Modern household showers are provided with one or more standard
pipe shower arms connected to the household water plumbing system. A showerhead is typically attached to the shower arm by screw threads provided on the showerhead and mating screw threads provided on a free end of the shower arm. The mating screw threads allow the showerhead to be connected to the shower arm by engaging the mating threads and rotating the showerhead relative to the shower arm.
[0003] Few existing showers allow the flow of water that can be stored in the
tank, wherein the tank can be coupled to the shower through connection pipes. Further, a separate bottle or container having shower gel or body wash placed on the sink and the use of a towel is required for drying the body. Washing our body is a common hygiene practice in daily life. The first step to wash the body is to squeeze soap into the hands from a soap dispensing unit, the second step is to rub our hands and open the faucet to rinse the body, and the last step is to blow air to dry the body with an air blower. These body washing procedures are too many and complicated, making them inconvenient for washing. Further, the use of towel in hotels can be unhygienic for the user.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need in the art to provide a means that dispenses
liquid, cleansing agents and blows air to cleanse and dry the body parts of the user by solving the aforementioned problems.
