Abstract

The shower has a change-over mechanism, to select the shower function. This has a slide (56) on the housing (1), moved translatory or rotary by a manual actuator (53). The slide can occupy three positions, corresponding to the shower functions. A first change-over element (37,63) is moved between two positions, by the slide, and via a guide and cam mechanism (61,62). The first position is for one function, the second position is for the remaining two functions. A second change-over element (45) is pressed by a spring (49) into one of two positions. In one slide position, a stop (59,60) on the slide retains the second change-over element in the first position, against the spring force. In a second slide position, the spring moves the element into its second position.
