[0016] FIG. 2 is an isometric view illustrating the back of an embodiment of the water outlet attachment.

[0017] FIG. 3 is a side view illustrating an embodiment of the water outlet attachment.

[0018] FIG. 4 is front view illustrating an embodiment of the water outlet attachment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Aspects of the system and methods are described below with reference to illustrative embodiments. The references to illustrative embodiments below are not made to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter. Instead, illustrative embodiments are used to aid in the description of various aspects of the systems and methods. The description, made by way of example and reference to illustrative reference is not meant to be limiting as regards any aspect of the claimed subject matter.

[0020] What has been described above includes examples of aspects of the claimed subject matter. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components or methodologies for purposes of describing the claimed subject matter, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize that many further combinations and permutations of the disclosed subject matter are possible. Accordingly, the disclosed subject matter is intended to embrace all such alterations, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Furthermore, to the extent that the terms “includes,” “has” or “having” or variations in form thereof are used in either the detailed description or the claims, such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term “comprising” as “comprising” is interpreted when employed as a transitional word in a claim.

[0021] FIG. 1 is a frontal facing isometric view illustrating the front of an embodiment of the water outlet attachment. Referring now to FIG. 1, an embodiment illustrating a water outlet attachment 100 is shown. The water outlet attachment 100 connects to a water source by a coupling element 104. The coupling element 104 feeds water from the water source (e.g., a bath faucet or spigot) up to the body portion 102, exiting through the output 112. It should be appreciated that the use of water is exemplary; and the coupling element 104 can deliver any of a number of different liquids from a given source. The body portion 102 has a front side of the body portion 110 and a back side of the body portion 204. On the front side of the body portion 110 is a structure 106 that can deliver the water from the water source in an effective manner. In the shown embodiment, the structure 106 is a head of an elephant with the water being delivered through the trunk. In certain embodiments, there is a receptacle 108 that can be used to contain a liquid used during bathing, such as shampoo, soap, or conditioner.

[0022] FIG. 2 is an isometric view illustrating the back of an embodiment of the water outlet attachment. Attached to the back side of the body portion 204 are a plurality of fasteners 206 that can be used to affix the water outlet attachment 100 to a wall at a suitable height and location. In the shown embodiment, the plurality of fasteners 206 are suction cups, although the fasteners can be other types of permanent, semi-permanent, or removable fasteners.

[0023] FIG. 3 is a side view illustrating an embodiment of the water outlet attachment. The plurality of fasteners 206 are affixed to a wall 302 and the structure 106 points toward the bathing area. The coupling element 104 feeds the water directly to a nozzle 304, as shown by the projected outline in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3.

[0024] FIG. 4 is front view illustrating an embodiment of the water outlet attachment. In certain embodiments, a handle 402 is attached to the body portion 102. The handle provides an easy way to move the water outlet attachment (e.g., to a different position on the wall) and also enables simple portability of the attachment.
