Abstract

The instant invention is, in broad aspect, a shower head that provides a series of spray effects. The object of the instant inven-tion includes to efficiently provide a shower head user with a varie-ty of spray effects and to reduce the complexity of the multifunc-tion shower head. The shower head (10) includes an inlet port to establish fluid communication with a source of water and at least two outlet ports (58 and 60) to direct a spray with various effects to the user. A pushrod (36) disposed in fluid communication between the inlet port (56j and the outlet ports (58 and 60) selectively opens the outlet ports (58 and 60) to allow the user to continuously select any combination of spray effects, which may include a continuous stream or a pulsating jet. The pushrod (36) is actuated by a rotat-ing cam ring (16) operated by the user. The cam (16) moves the pushrod (36) transversely across the inlet port (56) and, under con-trol of the user, directs water from the inlet port (56) to the outlet ports (58 and 60). The cam ring (16) maintains the pushrod (36) in the selected orientation.
