Abstract
A shower head contains a cup-shaped casing with a longitudinally displaceably held core part, for whose displacement an eccentrically-mounted circular disc engages in an opening of the core part. The eccentrically-mounted circular disc contains an eccentrically arranged hole, through which engages a square section of an adjusting member. Within the casing, the adjusting member is mounted in a sleeve in part of the shower head which does not carry water. The adjusting member does not require packings.
Claims18
A shower head, comprising:
- a cup-shaped casing and a core part displaceably mounted within the casing for modifying a spray pattern of the shower head, displacement of the core part in the casing being controllable by means of a cam with an eccentrically-mounted circular disc engaging in a circular opening of the core part, an adjusting member mounted in the casing and accessible from outside the casing being connectable to the cam, the eccentrically-mounted circular disc having an eccentrically positioned hole, through which can be passed a pin forming a pivot pin of the adjusting member for rotationally fixing the adjusting member and the disc.
A shower head, comprising:
- a cup-shaped casing and a core part displaceably mounted within the casing for modifying a spray pattern of the shower head, displacement of the core part being controllable by means of a cam with an eccentrically-mounted circular disc engaging in a circular opening of the core part, an adjusting member mounted in the casing and accessible from outside the casing being operable to rotate the cam, the adjusting member being arranged within the casing and the adjusting member extending transversely through a longitudinal center of the casing.
A shower head, comprising:
- a cup-shaped casing and a core part displaceably mounted in the casing for modifying a spray pattern of the shower head, the core part being rotatable and displaceable on a longitudinal axis relative to the casing, the core part being positionable by means of a cam rotatable using an adjustment member, the cam having an eccentrically-mounted circular disc engaging in a circular opening of the core part, the longitudinal axis of the circular opening of the core part and the eccentrically mounted circular disc being oriented orthogonally to said longitudinal axis, whereby rotating the adjustment member causes rotation and displacement of the core part in the casing.
