Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0719586A2] The flexible cover (1b) for the shower head has a number of shaped stubs, with central holes, to clip into the hole pattern of the shower head (1a). The flexible cover is removable without having to dismantle the shower head and allows the outlet holes to be cleaned with ease ie. to remove lime scale simply by flexing the removed cover. The hollow stubs have outer collars (32) which grip behind the profile of the shower head to provide a simple ratchet grip which is not displaced by the pressure of the water. The stubs are shaped for a snug fit into the holes in the shower head. An alternate design has larger holes in the shower head to take double wall profiled stubs for an elastic fitting.
