Abstract
A hand shower has outer housing including a first housing part and a second housing part, is disposed in the interior of the outer housing. The first housing part is produced by dual-component injection molding and has a support formed from a hard component. Alongside the switching device, this support is provided with a passage. A soft component, injected onto the outer side of the support covers the passage in a membrane-like manner. The membrane region of the soft component is elastically deformable to allow the switching device to be operated from the surroundings.

A hand shower comprising:
- an outer housing which defines an interior, a handle region and a head region defining water jet discharge openings, the outer housing having
- a first housing part and a second housing part, wherein at least the first housing part (i) is produced by dual-component or multicomponent injection molding, (ii) has a dimensionally stable support made of a hard component, and (iii) has a soft component injected onto the dimensionally stable support;
- a switching device (30) disposed in the interior of the outer housing;
- a water supply connection, wherein
- the water jet discharge openings are connected to the water supply connection,
- the dimensionally stable support is disposed alongside the switching device and has a passage which (i) runs from the interior of the outer housing to an outer side of the dimensionally stable support facing away from the interior, and (ii) is closed off from the surroundings in a membrane-like manner by the soft component to allow the switching device to be actuated by deformation of the soft component.
