Telescoping shower for a boat

Abstract

An application for a telescoping boat shower includes telescoping extensions of decreasing diameter that collapse inside of a fishing pole holder of a boat when in storage and extend upwardly from the fishing pole holder when in use. The telescoping extensions conduct water from a larger, lower telescoping extension to a smaller, upper telescoping extension where a nozzle is attached. The nozzle sprays water on a user of the telescoping shower. An adaptable fitting attaches to a bottom of the fishing pole holder, providing a water-tight seal. The adaptable fitting has a water supply fitting for attaching to a supply of water and the adaptable fitting conducts water from the water supply to the telescoping extensions.

1 . A telescoping boat shower, the shower comprising:
 a plurality of telescoping extensions of decreasing diameter, the telescoping extensions adapted to collapse inside of a fishing pole holder of a boat when in storage, the telescoping extensions adapted to extend upwardly from the fishing pole holder when in use, the telescoping extensions adapted to conduct water from a larger, lower telescoping extension to a smaller, upper telescoping extension;   a nozzle adapted to a top end of the smaller, upper telescoping extension, the nozzle adapted to spray the water from the smaller, upper telescoping extensions; and   an adaptable fitting attached to a bottom of the fishing pole holder providing a water-tight seal, the adaptable fitting having a water supply fitting for attaching to a supply of water and the adaptable fitting conducting the water from the water supply to the telescoping extensions.   
   
   
       2 . The telescoping boat shower of  claim 1 , wherein the adaptable fitting is held onto the fishing pole holder by a compression fitting. 
   
   
       3 . The telescoping boat shower of  claim 1 , wherein the adaptable fitting is held onto the fishing pole holder by an adhesive. 
   
   
       4 . The telescoping boat shower of  claim 1 , further comprising a pull tab attached to the top end of the smaller, upper telescoping extensions, the pull tab adapted to allow a user to extend the telescoping shower out of the fishing pole holder. 
   
   
       5 . The telescoping boat shower of  claim 1 , wherein the nozzle is a shower head. 
   
   
       6 . The telescoping boat shower of  claim 1 , further comprising limit flanges on the telescoping extensions to keep the telescoping extensions from disengaging. 
   
   
       7 . The telescoping boat shower of  claim 5 , wherein the telescoping extensions extend upwardly out of the fishing pole holder under the force of the water from the supply of water. 
   
   
       8 . The telescoping boat shower of  claim 1 , wherein the adaptable fitting is an integral part of the fishing pole holder. 
   
   
       9 . A method of adding a shower to a fishing pole holder of a boat, the method comprising:
 providing a telescoping shower, the telescoping shower comprising:
 a plurality of telescoping extensions of decreasing diameter, the telescoping extensions adapted to collapse inside of the fishing pole holder of a boat when in storage, the telescoping extensions adapted to extend upwardly from the fishing pole holder when in use, the telescoping extensions adapted to conduct water from a larger, lower telescoping extension to a smaller, upper telescoping extension; 
 a nozzle adapted to a top end of the smaller, upper telescoping extension, the nozzle adapted to spray the water from the smaller, upper telescoping extensions; and 
 an adaptable fitting adapted to attach to a bottom of the fishing pole holder providing a water-tight seal, the adaptable fitting having a water supply fitting adapted to conduct the water from a water supply to the telescoping extensions; 
   attaching the adaptable fitting to the bottom of the fishing pole holder;   attaching the water supply to the water supply fitting; and   inserting the collapsible extensions into the fishing pole holder.   
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the adaptable fitting is held onto the fishing pole holder by a compression fitting. 
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the adaptable fitting is held onto the fishing pole holder by an adhesive. 
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising a pull tab attached to the top end of the smaller, upper telescoping extension, the pull tab adapted to allow a user to extend the telescoping extensions out of the fishing pole holder. 
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the nozzle is a shower head. 
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising limit flanges on the telescoping extensions to keep the telescoping extensions from disengaging. 
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the telescoping extensions extend upwardly out of the fishing pole holder under force of the water from the supply of water. 
   
   
       16 . A telescoping boat shower, the shower comprising:
 a plurality of telescoping extensions of decreasing diameter, the telescoping extensions adapted to collapse inside of a fishing pole holder of a boat when in storage, the telescoping extensions adapted to extend upwardly from the fishing pole holder when in use, the telescoping extensions adapted to conduct water from a larger, lower telescoping extension to a smaller, upper telescoping extension;   a means for spraying water adapted to a top end of the smaller, upper telescoping extension, the means for spraying water adapted to spray the water from the smaller, upper telescoping extensions; and   a means for attaching a water supply to the fishing pole holder.   
   
   
       17 . The telescoping boat shower of  claim 16 , further comprising a pull tab attached to a top end of the smaller, upper telescoping extension, the pull tab adapted to allow a user to extend the telescoping shower out of the fishing pole holder. 
   
   
       18 . The telescoping boat shower of  claim 16 , wherein the means for spraying water is a shower head. 
   
   
       19 . The telescoping boat shower of  claim 16 , wherein the collapsible extensions extend upwardly out of the fishing pole holder under force of the water from the water supply. 
   
   
       20 . The telescoping boat shower of  claim 16 , wherein the adaptable fitting is an integral part of the fishing pole holder.
