›FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of…

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a shower and speaker assembly.

FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of the assembly shown in FIG. 1 .

FIG. 3 is a front view of the assembly shown in FIG. 1 .

FIG. 4 is a rear view of the assembly shown in FIG. 1 .

FIG. 5 is a side view of the assembly shown in FIG. 1 .

FIG. 6 is a top view of the assembly shown in FIG. 1 .

FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the assembly shown in FIG. 1 .

FIG. 8 is a front perspective view of the shower shown in FIG. 1 , illustrated as a shower head.

FIG. 9 is a rear perspective view of the shower shown in FIG. 8 .

FIG. 10 is a front view of the shower shown in FIG. 8 .

FIG. 11 is a rear view of the shower shown in FIG. 8 .

FIG. 12 is a side view of the shower shown in FIG. 8 .

FIG. 13 is a top view of the shower shown in FIG. 8 .

FIG. 14 is a front perspective view of the speaker shown in FIG. 1 .

FIG. 15 is a rear perspective view of the speaker shown in FIG. 14 .

FIG. 16 is a front view of the speaker shown in FIG. 14 .

FIG. 17 is a rear view of the speaker shown in FIG. 14 .

FIG. 18 is a side view of the speaker shown in FIG. 14 .

FIG. 19 is a top view of the speaker shown in FIG. 14 ; and,

FIG. 20 is a bottom view of the speaker shown in FIG. 14 .

The other side view is substantially the same as the illustrated side view and, therefore, has been omitted. The bottom view of the shower is substantially the same as the illustrated top view shown in FIG. 13 and, therefore, has been omitted.

Identification of views as “side”, “top” or “bottom” is for the purpose of description of the drawings and should not be regarded as limiting. The relative orientation of the illustrated components may be adjusted to change what appears in each of these views (e.g., pivoting the speaker 90° in one direction changes the “side” view to the “top” view or, in the other direction, to the “bottom” view.

Any broken line showing of the environment is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.
