Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a jet former according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a jet former is described in the publication AT 405795B .
  • Further related technology is described in the documents US233692 , US3584790A , US2009/101734A1 , US1819098A , US1412257A and US4746808A .
  • a common way of cleaning the body is showering.
  • showering is usually done using shower devices that include a mixer tap, a water-conducting hose or pipe, and a sanitary shower head.
  • the mixer tap cold and warm water are mixed to produce water of the desired temperature.
  • the water is fed through the water-conducting hose or pipe into the shower head, which releases the water.
  • the design of the water release by the shower head in the form of a jet pattern essentially determines the user's showering experience.
  • the shower head contains an assembly known as a jet former.
  • shower heads that can provide a moving jet pattern are known in the art. Such shower heads are also known as massage shower heads, as the moving water jets can achieve a massage effect.
