Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shower head provided with means for adjusting the ejected water spray.
  • shower heads of the so-called phone or wall type, the water jet of which can be adjusted.
  • shower head assemblies which, in addition to a regular rain jet, are also adapted to provide a "stronger" water jet providing a massaging effect, and which is usually delivered by intermittent pulses.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a shower head, including means for easily and quickly adjusting the water jet, which provides the user with the possibility of easily and quickly selecting the water delivery mode of the operation, by using a single hand.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such a shower head which is very simple construction-wise.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a shower head which can easily display to the user the delivery water mode of operation.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a shower head which can be made at a very reduced cost starting from easily available materials and elements.
  • a shower head provided with means for adjusting the ejected water spray
  • a handle body which can be coupled to a water supply system and being provided with a water delivery head
  • selecting means arranged inside said body for selectively providing a regular rain water jet and an intermittent pulse strong and massaging water jet
  • said shower head further comprises a driving element for operating said selecting means, said driving element including a push-button element which can be accessed from a side of said shower head.
  • the shower head provided with means for adjusting the ejected water spray according to the present invention, which is generally indicated at the reference number 1, comprises a handle body 2, which can have any suitable shape and which, at one end thereof, can be coupled to a water supply system.
  • the body 2 defines a shower head 3 proper, for supplying water jets or sprays.
  • the shower head 3 comprises a perforated plate 10, of substantially circular shape, which, on the inner surface thereof, is provided with circumferential tooth elements 11, for snap coupling said head to a ring-nut 12, which is rotatively associated with said body 2 through a plate 13 having calibrated holes 14, which have fixed positions and communicate with the water supply system to allow water to pass therethrough.
  • a selecting disc element 20 which, at its central portion, is provided with registering holes 21, arranged in a cylindric zone delimited by a cylindric shell 22 and which is provided with perimetrical holes 23.
  • the shell 22 is tightly coupled against a central inlet 30, provided on the inner surface of the perforated plate 10, which defines an inner circular region, encompassed by baffles 31, spaced from one another by inclined slots 32, for communicating with the inner cylindric portion therein there is rotatably housed an impeller 40, provided with a plurality of blades 41 which are connected at one end thereof, for a given length, by a closing element 41 which practically leaves free a reduced region, so as to provide an intermittent delivery of water, as it will become more apparent hereinafter.
  • the selected disc element 20, as shown, is provided with a radially extending notch 60, which engages in a recess 61 correspondingly defined on the inner surface of the plate and which also nests in a corresponding further recess.
  • the latter is defined inside the ring nut 12, so as to make rigid with one another the ring-nut 12, the selecting disc 20 and perforated plate 10, the plate 13, in turn, being fixed, that is it can not turn.
  • a main feature of the present invention is that the ring-nut 12 is radially provided with a driving element for driving the selecting means of the shower head, which driving element comprises a push-button element indicated at the reference number 60, which has an arrow shape, so as to operate as an indicating or display means for the notches 71 formed on the body of the shower head.
  • the ring-nut 12 For operating the shower head, the ring-nut 12 will be turned (as shown in figure 2) so as to bring the holes 21 to register with the holes 14; thus, water will be introduced into the cylindric portion and then, said water will pass through the slots so as to radially impinge on the impeller 40, which is turned so as to provide a strong pulse water jet.
  • the water pulses are due to the provision of the closure element 42, in combination with the plurality of holes 50 circumferentially distributed through the surface 10.
  • the shower head can be operated by the user by a single hand, by simply operating the push-button 70 which will allow the ring-nut 12 to he quickly and easily turned.
