Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a high degree of efficiency of generation of vibration by providing a water turbine adapted to be rotated by the supply of water to a water spray part, in a shower head, and by providing an eccentric weight for generating vibration in association with rotation to the water turbine while providing a contact part adapted to make contact with an object to be vibrated, in the shower head. CONSTITUTION:On the way of an internal supply for water fed to a water spray part 2 of a shower head 1 where several jet holes (a) are formed, a water turbine chamber 4 is formed on the rear face side of a wall 3 defining the water spray part 2. A water turbine 6 which can be rotated about a support shaft 5 orthogonal to the wall 3 is disposed in the chamber 4. The water turbine 6 is provided thereto with an eccentric weight 11 for generating vibration in association with the rotation of the turbine. When the water turbine 6 is rotated by water fed through a water feed passage 8a, the shower head 1 is vibrated under centrifugal action by the eccentric weight 11. Further, the wall 3 is attached at its center holeless part with a semispherical massage head 12 which is adapted to be pressed against a suitably part of human body so as to transmit and apply the vibration of the shower head 1 obtained by the rotation of the water turbine 6, thereby it is possible to obtain a massage effect.

Conventionally, in a shower device, in order to provide a vibration function such as for pine surge using water supplied to the sprinkler section, the rotational force of the water wheel rotated by the water supplied to the sprinkler section is converted into sliding operation force. This sliding operation force causes the movable part to protrude and retract, thereby generating vibrations.
