Abstract

The shower has a change-over mechanism with changer element (45), which applies a load to a stop. In a first position of the element, the stop is located outside the movement path of a stop (28) located on the pulsator wheel (23). In the second element position, it is located within that movement path, so that the wheel is arrested in a defined turning position. The changer element is part of a mechanism (41), which is used to select an additional third function. This consists of shower jets, which are saturated with air and of relatively low speed.
