Abstract
A shower head including a housing, a turbine and a fluid exit body in operative engagement therewith, such that a fluid flow through the turbine causes rotation thereof and periodic motion of the fluid exit body. The fluid exit body is in a tilted position in the housing and the periodic motion consists of a simultaneous rotational travel of the fluid exit body around the axis of the turbine and an oscillatory, rocking movement of the fluid exit body in the housing.
Claims27
A shower head comprising a housing, a turbine and a fluid exit body in operative engagement therewith, such that a fluid flow through said turbine causes rotation thereof and periodic motion of said fluid exit body, said turbine being rotatable about a first axis, said fluid exit body having a central axis and being supported by said housing, in tilted position, in which said central axis is tilted at an angle relative to said first axis, and means drivingly connecting said turbine to said fluid exit body to produce rotation of said fluid exit body around said first axis while simultaneously causing said fluid exit body to undergo an oscillating, rocking movement in said housing in said tilted position.
A method for applying moving fluid on a user's body by using a shower head comprising a housing, a turbine and a fluid exit body, said fluid exit body comprising a face having a plurality of holes, wherein said fluid causes said turbine to rotate and said turbine causes said fluid exit body to move in a periodic motion about a first axis and a second axis simultaneously such that said face changes its position spatially during said periodic motion, and transferring the rotation of said turbine into the periodic motion of said fluid exit body through a drive element situated eccentrically with respect to a central axis of said turbine and wherein said first axis comprises a central axis of said shower head and said second axis comprises a central axis of said fluid exit body, said central axis of said fluid exit body being tilted with respect to said central axis of said shower head thereby producing rocking movement of said fluid exit body as it rotates around said first axis.
