Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shower head including selecting means for controlling the delivery of either a small or a great water jet from said shower head.
  • shower heads both of the so-called phone type and of the so-called wall type, which afford the user with the possibility of easily adjusting the delivered water jet, so as to provide a "soft" jet including a comparatively reduced amount of water, supplied with a comparatively reduced pressure.
  • Prior shower heads of the above mentioned type are very complex construction-wise, since they usually include a lot of complex inner gears which are susceptible to failures.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a shower head, including selecting means for controlling the delivery of either a small or soft water jet or a great or strong water jet, which can be easily operated by a single hand and, in particular, by using a single finger.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such a shower head which comprises a very reduced number of component elements.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a shower head which can be easily and quickly operated.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide such a shower head which can be made at a very competitive cost starting from easily available elements and materials.
  • a shower head including selecting means for controlling the delivery of either a soft or a strong water jet, comprising a handle body which can be coupled to a water supply system, and including a water delivery head, selecting means arranged inside said body for varying the cross-section of water delivery ducts in order to selectively provide either a strong or a soft water jet, characterized in that said shower head further comprises a driving element for driving said selecting means, said driving element including a push-button element which can be accessed from a side of said shower head.
  • a shower head including selecting means for controlling the delivery of either a soft or a strong water jet, which is illustrated, by way of an indicative but not limitative example, in the figures of the accompanying drawings, where:
  • the shower head according to the present invention which is generally indicated at the reference number 1, comprises a handle body, indicated overally at the reference number 2 which, at one end thereof, can be coupled to a water supply system and, at the other end thereof, is provided with a water delivery head, generally indicated at the reference number 3.
  • the water delivery head 3 substantially comprises a perforated plate 4 which, on a surface thereof, is provided with a tooth element 5 for snap engaging with said body 2 and being provided with a plurality of openings or ports 10 correspondingly arranged with respect to water delivery holes 11 which are formed through the head element 3 of the handle body 2.
  • a selecting element which is provided with a disc-like body 21 including a plurality of holes 22 and 23 which define corresponding water delivery ducts which are correspondingly arranged and angularly offset with respect to the water delivery holes 11.
  • the holes 22 and 23 have different water delivery cross-sections, which is obtained by a bottom mesh screen 25 and a top mesh screen 26, which latter is cut-off at the first plurality of holes 22 so as to not obstruct this holes, and extends through the second plurality of holes 23, so as to reduce the cross-sectional area of the latter.
  • the disc 21 is axially provided with a throughgoing hole 30, including a cut-off portion 31 engaging with a pin 32, so as to rotate with said pin, this pin 32 being coupled to a switching element 35 arranged at the water inlet port 36 toward the water delivery holes 11 to vary the water jet distribution.
  • the switching element 35 will be arranged in the front of the port 36 so as to increase the water flow rate, or speed, whereas, if a soft water jet is to be provided, said switching element does not obstruct the mentioned holes so as not to increase the water delivery speed or flow rate.
  • a main feature of the present invention is that from the disc 21 a lug 40 extends which passes through a perimetrical slot 42 of the perforated plate 40 which also operates as an end of stroke element for the turning movement.
  • the lug 40 is coupled to a driving element, comprising a push-putton 41, which can be accessed from a side of the water delivery heand and can be simply operated by a single hand, that is that same hand which engages the shower head.
  • a driving element comprising a push-putton 41
  • identifying marks 50 are provided for displaying the type of water jet being supplied.
  • the water supply or delivery holes 11 are aligned with the first plurality of water delivery ducts 22, not affected by the mesh screen.
  • the holes 11 will be arranged in alignment with the holes, the cross-section of which will be reduced by the provision of the mesh screens 25 and 26.
  • the water flow rate will be reduced so as to provide the soft water jet.
  • the switching from a position to the other, that is from a strong to a soft water jet and vice-versa can be simply performed by operating the push-button 41.
  • a shower head which comprises a driving push-button arranged on a side of the water delivery head proper and which can be operated by a single finger of the hand engaging the shower head.
