Abstract
A shower head with water supplied through a flexible hose. The shower head provides for two different modes of spray that can be switched by operating two push buttons. The shower head comprises a delimited supply space, two delivery members, two distinct communication passages between the supply space and the delivery members, and two separate intercept valves, each valve controlling the flow through one of the communication passages. Each valve is connected to an operating push button. A valve lever connects the two valves, so that, as one valve is depressed and therefore closed, the other valve is correspondingly opened.
