  • the leg spring 146 acts in a known manner between the pivot member 142 and the pivot plate 140.
  • the pivoting element 142 also has two fingers 150 'which have recesses 148' through which the pivot axis 144 is passed.
  • the pivoting element 142 is L-shaped in side view.
  • the pivoting mechanism 138 is configured such that on the front side of the shower module 12 between the shower unit 88 and the housing 74 (in FIG. 16 not shown) virtually no gap occurs.
  • FIG. 17 The shower tray 108 with the webs 110 and the front plate 96 with the beam formers 98 are clearly recognizable.
  • the outer web 110 forms the outer boundary of the first radiation field 62.
  • the cover 112 and the plug connections for the connecting tubes 68, 70, 70 '(in FIG. 17 not shown) disposed in passages 148 of the shower tray 108 are also readily apparent.
  • the cover In a lower region 150, the cover has guide ribs 152 which, when moving from the retracted position 92 to the deployed position 90 and back, engage the upper connecting tube 68 (in FIG FIG. 17 not shown) of the lower connecting tubes 70, 70 '(in FIG. 17 not shown) separately.
  • Lateral guide ribs 154 prevent the lower connecting tubes 70, 70 'from being damaged.
  • the guide webs 152, 154 preferably extend in the vertical direction in the lower region 150 of the cover 108.
  • the front plate 96 is held by means of screws 156, which respectively extend in the corner points of the shower tray 108 through openings 158 and which are threaded into the front plate 96.
  • screws 156 which respectively extend in the corner points of the shower tray 108 through openings 158 and which are threaded into the front plate 96.
  • the shower system 10 additionally has a disinfection function or hygiene flushing function. This function is activated, for example, by a long press of the operating unit 36.
