Multi mode shower head

A multi-mode shower head or handset in which a body member or cartridge is secured for relative angular movement to the head and has a valve-like cooperation with the hollow interior of the head for directing water flow from the head via passageways in the cartridge to arrangements of showering mode outlet openings including fine spray outlet openings at the front face of the cartridge, the showering modes from said outlets being selected by turning the cartridge to appropriate settings on the head, and a series of cleaning pins rotatable with the cartridge and coaxially movable relative thereto for cleaning penetration into corresponding fine spray outlet openings and withdrawal therefrom;

• characterized in that the series of cleaning pins are operated for such co-axial cleaning movement by an arrangement of follower means and a co-operating cam profile or track acting between a carrier member or ring carrying the series of cleaning pins and the head whereby the cleaning pine remain in an inoperative withdrawn position during and between any of the showering mode settings of the cartridge and are only independently operated for cleaning movement by co-action between the follower means and operative cam formation of the cam profile or track on further turning movement of the cartridge beyond its showering mode settings.
