Shower head

A shower head comprising:

• a housing having an end wall provided with a plurality of sets of spray nozzles;
• a partition element defining in the housing a pressurizable inlet chamber and formed offset from the axis with an axially throughgoing outlet hole;
• a valve element rotatable in the housing on the partition about the axis, overlying the outlet hole, and formed offset from the axis with a plurality of axially throughgoing apertures radially equispaced from the axis and angularly spaced thereabout, selectively alignable with the outlet hole, and each associated with a respective set of the nozzles, the housing also being formed with respective passages connecting the apertures with the respective sets of nozzles, the outlet hole and the apertures being of such angular extent that in any position of the valve element at least one of the apertures is at least partially aligned with and in fluid communication with the outlet hole;
• and
• means including a restriction formation on one of the elements for progressive restriction of the outlet hole from a fully open to fully closed condition on rotation of the valve element through a predetermined angular stroke.
