Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Brausekopf (200) mit mehreren Funktionszonen, mit einem Gehäuse (210), dessen Boden (212) in jeder Funktionszone mit einer Vielzahl von Düsenoffnungen (213) versehen ist, wobei der Wasserzulauf in die Funktionszonen über wenigstens ein Zulaufelement (250) manuell wählbar ist. Das Gehäuse (210) ist als ein Hohlkörper ausgebildet, der über sich zwischen dem Boden (212) und einem Deckel (211) erstreckende Trennwände (214, 215) in mehrere Kammern (201, 202, 203) geteilt ist, von denen jeweils wenigstens eine einer Funktionszone zugeordnet ist. Das Gehäuse (210) weist außerdem wenigstens eine Zulauföffnung (221, 222, 223) je Kammer (201, 202, 203) auf. Das Zulaufelement (250) weist wenigstens eine Auslassöffnung (253) auf, die mit wenigstens einer Zulauföffnung (221, 222, 223) des Brausekopfes in Deckung zu bringen ist.The invention relates to a shower head (200) with a plurality of functional zones, with a housing (210), the bottom (212) of which is provided with a multiplicity of nozzle openings (213) in each functional zone, the water inlet being fed into the functional zones via at least one inlet element (250 ) is manually selectable. The housing (210) is designed as a hollow body which is divided into a plurality of chambers (201, 202, 203) by means of dividing walls (214, 215) extending between the base (212) and a cover (211), of which at least one is assigned to a functional zone. The housing (210) also has at least one inlet opening (221, 222, 223) per chamber (201, 202, 203). The inlet element (250) has at least one outlet opening (253) which is to be brought into coincidence with at least one inlet opening (221, 222, 223) of the shower head.

Alternativ zu einem Zulaufelement auf dem Brausekopf kann das Zulaufelement auch an einem Trägerelement angeordnet sein, an dem der Brausekopf drehbar gelagert ist.
