Abstract
A shower head (11) includes a handle (12) and a head portion (13). The head portion (13) includes shower holes (15, 16, 17). The handle (12) includes an upstream bubble generator that generates minute bubbles in water. The head portion 13 includes a downstream bubble generator that generates minute bubbles in water in the same manner as the upstream bubble generator. The upstream bubble generator includes a constriction and a tapered portion. The downstream bubble generator has a swirling flow mode. Since minute bubbles are generated on the upstream and downstream sides, the amount of minute bubbles mixed in water becomes larger. This allows for showering by effectively using the function of minute bubbles.
Claims5
A shower head, comprising a head portion that includes shower holes, wherein
- minute bubble generators are disposed at positions on an upstream side and a downstream side in a water passage,
- a switch mechanism for the water passage is provided, and
- the switch mechanism is capable of switching between a water passage that passes through the minute bubble generator on the upstream side and the minute bubble generator on the downstream side, and a water passage that passes through the minute bubble generator on the upstream side but does not pass through the minute bubble generator on the downstream side.
