Definitions

• the invention relates to a shower head with a shower head housing, a water inlet and a jet exit disc.
• a shower head is already known, in which a turbine is arranged, which leads to a periodic movement of the jet outlet body relative to the showerhead housing (EP 676241). Between the turbine and the jet outlet body, a reduction gear can be arranged.
• the jet outlet disc makes an eccentric movement without twisting.
• the jet exit elements which are made of elastic material, move on a cone, with all the jet exit elements remaining parallel to one another (WO00 / 10720).
• the invention is based on the object to provide a shower head, in which even with a large-scale radiation without additional water consumption strong water jets are generated.
• the shower head according to the invention thus contains two separate chambers from which the water can flow out through the jet outlet openings of the jet disc. These chambers are so separated, it is possible to provide one of the two chambers with water, while the other chamber is not supplied with water. So the water can not flow from one chamber to the other.
• the valve means which can open and close the chambers, it is then possible to supply a chamber separately from another chamber with water. When switching then suddenly occur from all the beam outlet openings of a chamber water jets, or be switched off. It is therefore not one jet outlet opening after the other switched on or off, but always a whole group of jet outlet openings.
• the valve device has at least one valve closing body which cooperates with an inlet in at least two, preferably all chambers.
• at least one valve closing body which, however, is then responsible for at least two, but in particular all chambers. This simplifies the construction of the valve device.
• valve device it is also possible for the valve device to have a plurality of valve closing bodies. Also then it can be provided that at least one valve closing body cooperates with the inlet in all chambers. Another possibility is that with several valve closing bodies for at least one chamber, a separate valve closing body is present, which does not interact with the other chambers.
• this chamber has only one inlet.
• a turbine is arranged, which is connected via a gear or directly to the valve closing body.
• the showerhead housing has a particularly circular jet exit disc, wherein the chambers have the base area of a circular sector. In this way it can be ensured that the entire base area of the jet exit disk is available for openings, and that it becomes possible to use a rotating valve closing body.
• the inlets are arranged in the chambers along a circular arc.
• the chambers are bounded on the one hand by the jet exit disc and on the other hand by an intermediate disc.
• the housing can be very easy to assemble, especially when both the jet exit disc on its inside and the intermediate disc have the same shape, for example, are formed as flat discs
• at least one valve closing body is formed as a flat on the water inlet facing side of the intermediate disc resting disc. It can be moved on this disc and interact directly with an inlet opening for the chamber in the washer.
• the closing disc has an edge toothing which meshes with a toothed ring connected to the turbine.
• the closing disc has an edge toothing which engages with a toothing arranged along the entire circumference of the inside of the shower head housing.
• edge toothing of the closing disc engages both with the turbine and with the housing-side toothed ring.
• the sliding and rotating closing disc does not have its own bearing.
