HEWI magnetic handheld shower head holder

The novel magnetic handheld shower head holder features significantly simplified handling and, in the true sense of universal design, is an ideal product for all people, especially for users with physical disabilities. It also features simple and easy height adjustment thanks to a magnetic function that allows for sliding of the shower head holder, intuitive one-hand operation, a 360° smooth-swiveling cone-shaped holder and a total lack of widely used buttons and knobs. This allows the shower head holder to be used without any effort and even by people with motor disabilities. The novel magnetic principle replaces the traditional clamping mechanism, eliminating the need to exert pressure when adjusting the shower head holder along with any difficulty presented by wet hands.
