Abstract

A shower head jet disk (4) has inlet and outlet openings (8, 9) on opposite sides, with a passage duct (10a, 10b) fluidically connecting each outlet to at least one inlet. An upstream control disk (2) is rotatable relative to the jet disk and has a control slot pattern (131, 134) opening the inlets depending on the rotational position of the control disk. The control slot pattern and the inlets are coordinated such that two adjacent inlet openings (8a, 8b) that correspond with a common outlet opening (9) via two passage ducts (10a, 10b) with non-parallel side walls (12a, 12b) provide different jet outlet directions (Sa, Sb), or two regions of an inlet opening that corresponds with an outlet opening via a passage duct with non-parallel side wall regions provide different jet directions, or two adjacent inlet openings that correspond with two adjacent outlet openings are opened, in alternating fashion.

Claims15

Dependent claims

A shower head for a sanitary shower device, comprising:

a jet disk having inlet openings on one disk side and outlet openings on an other disk side and having in each case a passage channel for fluid connection of each said outlet opening to at least one said inlet opening, and
a control disk arranged in fluid flow direction upstream of the jet disk rotatably movable relative to said jet disk and which control disk has a control slot pattern enabling the inlet openings depending on a rotary position of the control disk,
wherein the control slot pattern and the inlet openings are matched to one another such that during rotation of the control disk relative to the jet disk, for alternately enabling one of:
two adjacent inlet openings to correspond with one common outlet opening via two passage channels having non-parallel side walls for providing two different jet outlet directions, and
two regions of an inlet opening to correspond with an outlet opening via a passage channel, having nonparallel side wall regions for providing two different jet outlet directions, and
two adjacent inlet openings to correspond to two adjacent outlet openings.
