Abstract

The shower head has inside it a device by which the amount of water going out through a jet outlet aperture can be altered relatively slowly. This device may be driven by a turbine wheel (6) inside the head. When there are two jet outlet apertures to create two different forms of jet, the device can be used to switch automatically between them. The casing (1) has a cylindrical jacket (3) with a free endface (4) forming an aperture in which a jet washer with a number of jet outlet apertures is fitted.
