A base assembly has a major section with an open top, a minor section with a top panel and a cover plate with a down-turned flange. The cover plate is positioned over the major section. Springs between the cover plate and the major section hold the cover plate in an inoperative orientation above the major section and an operative orientation in contact with the major section. A J-shaped tube has a lower end operatively coupled with the minor section and extending upwardly from the top panel. The J-shaped tube has an upper end with a primary sprinkler head positioned over the major section. A water path includes an input coupling on the major section for receiving water from a hose. The water path includes an output coupling on the top panel for removably receiving the lower end of the J-shaped tube.

What is claimed as being new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows: 1. A portable shower system comprising: a base assembly having a major section with an open top, a minor section with a top panel, a cover plate with a down-turned flange, the cover plate being positioned over the major section; springs between the cover plate and the major section to hold the cover plate in an inoperative orientation above the major section and an operative orientation in contact with the major section; a J-shaped tube having a lower end operatively coupled with the minor section and extending upwardly from the top panel, the J-shaped tube having an upper end with a primary sprinkler head positioned over the major section; and a water path including an input coupling on the major section for receiving water from a hose, the water path including an output coupling on the top panel for removably receiving the lower end of the J-shaped tube. 2. The system as set forth in claim 1 and further including: a valve in the water path between the input and output couplings, the valve having an intermediate vertical tube secured to and reciprocable with the cover plate, an intermediate horizontal tube coupling the input coupling to the intermediate vertical tube and J-shaped tube when the cover plate is in the operative position, the intermediate horizontal tube uncoupling the input coupling from the intermediate vertical tube and J-shaped tube when the cover plate is in the inoperative position, a sleeve to guide the vertical movement of the intermediate vertical tube, a supplemental spring to urge the intermediate vertical tube upwardly. 3. The system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the J-shaped tube is of a one piece construction with the primary sprinkler head between 5.5 feet and 6.5 feet above the cover plate. 4. The system as set forth in claim 1 and further including a secondary tube having a lower end operatively coupled with the minor section and extending upwardly from the top panel, the secondary tube having an upper end with the primary sprinkler head positioned over the major section, the primary sprinkler head being located between 5.5 feet and 6.5 feet above the major section, the secondary tube being formed of an upper part and a lower part with a ball valve between the upper and lower parts, a supplemental sprinkler head coupled to the ball valve with an operator controlled handle to selectively direct the flow of water through the primary and supplemental sprinkler heads. 5. A portable shower system for initiating and terminating the flow of shower water in response to the presence and absence of at least one person positioned in a path of flow of the shower water, the system comprising, in combination: a base assembly having a generally rectilinear configuration with a floor positionable upon a recipient surface and a front wall and a rear wall and a first side wall and a second side wall, the front and rear walls being parallel and of a common length, the first and second side walls being parallel and of a common length less than the length of the front and rear walls, the front and rear walls being perpendicular to the first and second side walls; the base assembly having a square major section formed of the first side wall and major portions of the front and rear walls and a major intermediate wall between the front and rear walls and parallel with the first side wall, the major section having an open top in a square configuration; the base assembly having a minor section formed of the second side wall and minor portions of the front and rear walls and a minor intermediate wall between the front and rear walls and parallel with the second side wall, the minor section having a top panel in a rectangular configuration laterally offset from the major section; a cover plate in a square configuration positioned over the open top of the major section, the cover plate having a down-turned flange encompassing an upper extent of the first side wall and major portions of the front and rear walls and the major intermediate wall, the cover plate and housing being fabricated of a rigid, water resistant material selected from the class of rigid materials including plastic and metal, the cover plate having water directing grooves; four vertically positioned coil springs with upper ends and lower ends, one of the springs being located adjacent to each corner of the square major section, four lower stubs extending upwardly from the floor with each lower stub receiving the lower end of one of the coil springs, four upper stubs extending downwardly from the cover plate with each upper stub receiving the upper end of one of the coil springs, the coil springs being of a length to hold the cover plate in a horizontal inoperative orientation above the major section when no person is standing on the cover plate, the coil springs being of a length to hold the cover plate in a horizontal operative orientation in contact with the major section when at least one person is standing on the cover plate; a generally J-shaped primary tube having a lower end operatively coupled with the minor section and extending upwardly from the top panel, the primary tube having an upper end with a primary sprinkler head positioned over the major section, the primary sprinkler head being located between 5.5 feet and 6.5 feet above the major section; a water path for the flow of water to the primary sprinkler head and then to at least one person on the cover plate, the water path including an input coupling on the front wall of the major section for receiving water from a hose, the water path including an output coupling on the top panel of the minor section for removably receiving the lower end of the primary tube, the water path also including a valve between the input and output couplings, the valve having an intermediate vertical tube secured to and reciprocable with the cover plate, an intermediate horizontal tube coupling the input coupling to the intermediate vertical tube and primary tube when the cover plate is in the operative position, the intermediate horizontal tube uncoupling the input coupling from the intermediate vertical tube and primary tube when the cover plate is in the inoperative position, a sleeve to guide the vertical movement of the intermediate vertical tube, a supplemental spring within the sleeve to urge the intermediate vertical tube upwardly; and a generally J-shaped secondary tube having a lower end operatively coupled with the minor section and extending upwardly from the top panel, the secondary tube having an upper end with a primary sprinkler head positioned over the major section, the primary sprinkler head being located between 5.5 feet and 6.5 feet above the major section, the secondary tube being formed of an upper part and a lower part with a ball valve between the upper and lower parts, a supplemental sprinkler head coupled to the ball valve with an operator controlled handle to selectively direct the flow of water through the primary and supplemental sprinkler heads.
