Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0308693A1] The subject of the description is a manual shower which comprises a shower head with separate outlet openings (4, 5) for a constant shower jet on the one hand and pulsating shower jet on the other as well as a change-over device (7, 8, 9), with which device the water can be guided alternately into one of the two groups of outlet openings (4, 5). The aim is to provide a design which is simpler and more operationally reliable than known massage shower types and in which no parts running in bearings, or subject to wear and blockage are required. For this purpose, the outlet openings (5) supplying a pulsating shower jet are combined with an annular circulation channel (15) into which obliquely directed feed channels lead and in which a freely movable float (17) is also located which is set in motion by the obliquely directed water flow from the feed openings and successively blocks a number of the outlet openings (5) in each case. The float (17) has at best a circular cross-section and its main shape is curved to correspond to the curving of the circulation channel (15). <IMAGE>
