Abstract

The shower head has an annular bottom plate (6) from which the water jets issue, an annular nozzle plate (11) with nozzles (13), and annular sieves (8, 10). Water goes from the nozzle plate into a mixing chamber (15), which is divided by radial vertical webs (16) into individual mixing chambers, one under each jet.
