  • each located between two recesses of the turbine wheel and two at the bottom of the switch housing protrusions located in Circumferential direction of the turbine wheel and the switching housing extending areas are each formed as inclined in the direction of rotation of the turbine wheel, mutually congruent inclined surfaces. Due to the arrangement of the inclined surfaces of the turbine wheel runs easier in its direction of rotation and with less resistance in the floor design, so that the mutually associated, formed on the recesses of the turbine wheel and the associated projections of the bottom of the switch housing stop surfaces come into mutual contact.
  • the out Fig. 1 apparent shower head 10 has a shower head housing 11, which consists of an upper shell 11a and a lower shell 11b. On the shower head housing 11, a handle 12 is attached. In the interior of the showerhead housing 11, an intermediate plate 13 is arranged, on which a switch housing 14 is mounted for a total designated 15 switching device, the switching device 15 is actuated by a arranged in the upper shell 11 a of the showerhead housing 11 pushbutton 16, which in a in the Upper shell 11a housed silicone bearing 28 is movable.
  • a "Rain" function with soft water jets for example, a massage function with a or more hard water jets and a Heilsprudlerfunktion.
  • this is not described in detail, because not the subject of the invention forming water distribution device 17 supplied according to the three modes of water on three differently equipped waterways.
  • This water is introduced via an inserted into the handle 12 tube 18, which in turn is connected to a running on the intermediate plate 13 water inlet 19, so that supplied in a manner to be described in detail water via the switch housing 14 of the switching device 15 of the water distribution device 17 becomes.
  • a circular inner wall 20 having cup-shaped switch housing wherein the intermediate plate 13 at the same time forms a bottom 38 of the switch housing 14.
  • a turbine wheel 21 is arranged and rotatably supported on an axis 22 passing through the switch housing 14.
  • the switch housing 14 is closed at the top, to the upper shell 11a of the showerhead housing 11 through a cover 24, so that there is a closed interior for the turbine wheel 21.
  • the inner wall 20 enclosing the turbine wheel 21 is provided with openings 40 directed tangentially to the circumference of the turbine wheel 21 and pointing in the predetermined direction of rotation of the turbine wheel 21, so that the water is introduced into the water inlet 19 adjoining the switch housing 14 in an area between the inner wall 20 and a flow channel 32, which surrounds the inner wall 20 at a distance and surround the outer wall 41, and from here flows already in a predetermined flow direction through the apertures 40 into the interior of the switch housing 14.
  • the inflowing water impinges on the surface of the turbine wheel 21 arranged, up to the cover 24 of the switch housing 14 uprights 31, so that when starting the shower 10, the incoming water, the turbine wheel 21 can rotate.
  • three passage openings 39 are formed in the base 38 of the switch housing 14 embodied by the intermediate plate 13, of which FIG Fig. 2 only one passage opening 39 can be seen.
