Claims (2)

A shower head provided with a water discharge form switching unit capable of switching water discharge to a plurality of different water discharge forms,
The water discharge mode switching unit includes a rotation shaft fixed to the head portion of the shower head, a flow path switching plate locked to the rotation shaft, and a water discharge switching operation portion provided to be rotatable with respect to the shower head. And a flow path switching mechanism section that rotates in conjunction with the water discharge switching operation section,
The flow path switching plate respectively form the water passing holes on the inner peripheral portion and the outer peripheral portion of said flow path switching mechanism portion, said water discharge switching unit by rotating the among the fixed the flow channel switching plate or to communicate the water flow hole of the inner peripheral portion of the passage of the peripheral part water holes the flow path switching mechanism portion, or fixed the flow path switching plate outer peripheral portion of the through water holes and the flow path switching mechanism The water discharge is switched by communicating with the water passage holes on the outer periphery of the part,
Wherein during rotation shaft and the flow channel switching plate, a spring is provided, by the elastic force of the spring, together with the flow path switching plate made by pressing the flow path switching mechanism portion, the head of the shower head shower head is characterized in that the elastic force of the spring to the water discharge mode switching unit away direction biases against parts. The water discharge has a water discharge form spouted from turning the nozzle to one embodiment, be a nozzle unit for generating the water discharge forms located downstream of the flow path switching mechanism portion,
The nozzle unit has an inflow chamber in which hot water flows, is composed of hot water that has flowed into the inflow chamber with a nozzle for jetting water, further hot water that has flowed into the inflow chamber along the inner wall surface of the inflow chamber turning wherein an inlet is formed in the inflow chamber to cause a flow,
And said nozzle has a small diameter of the distal end portion than the nozzle body and the nozzle body,
Together to face the tip portion to the outside from the opening of the inlet chamber, the tip of the nozzle at the formed so as not to from the shower head outer surface, further said nozzle body the inlet chamber of the nozzle support The shower head according to claim 1, wherein water is discharged while the nozzle is swiveled by a swirling flow.
