THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a portable, pressurized, solar-
heated shower for camping and other outdoor activities, and to
a method of using same. Claims 1 and 13 are illustrative and
read as follows:
1. A portable shower, comprising: three superposed
sheets of flexible material sealed peripherally together to
form first and second closed chambers on opposite sides of one
of the sheets, water enclosed within the first chamber, an
elongated flexible hose communicating with the first chamber
and having a shower head at a distal end thereof, and
pressurized air in the second chamber pressurizing the water
in the first chamber and causing the water to be expelled
through the hose and the shower head.
13. In a method of using a portable solar heated shower
having first and second chambers on opposite sides of a
flexible membrane, the steps of: introducing water into the
first chamber, exposing the shower to the sun to warm the
water, and introducing air under pressure into the second
chamber to bring the pressure within the second chamber up to
a level sufficient to expel the water from the first chamber
through a hose and a shower head in communication with the
first chamber.
