Abstract

A shower head includes a main body seal seat fixed to a main body. The main body seal seat is fitted in a rotation seat in a rotation way and located above a cover seal seat. The cover seal seat is fixed to a cover unit. The joint of the main body seal seat and the rotation seat has a groove to receive a first seal ring. The main body seal seat has at least one water inlet. The water inlet is provided with a spring and a second seal ring therein. The spring is located between the second seal ring and the water inlet of the main body seal seat. The cover seal seat has at least one through hole corresponding in position to the water inlet. The cover unit has at least one water outlet.

Claims

1. A shower head, comprising a main body, a rotation seat, a main body seal seat, a cover seal seat, a cover unit and seal members installed between relative parts for water seal, the main body seal seat being connected to the main body, the main body seal seat being fitted in the rotation seat in a rotation way and located above the cover seal seat, the cover seal seat being fixed to the cover unit;

the main body seal seat and the rotation seat having a joint formed with a groove to receive a first seal ring;

the main body seal seat having at least one water inlet, the water inlet being provided with a spring and a second seal ring therein, the spring being located between the second seal ring and the water inlet of the main body seal seat, the second seal ring being against the cover seal seat;

the cover seal seat having at least one through hole, the cover unit having at least one water outlet, the at least one through hole communicating with the at least water outlet.

2. The shower head as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rotation seat has a first protruding step extending inward and the main body seal seat has a second protruding step extending outward, the first protruding step of the rotation seat being mated with the second protruding step of the main body seal seat, the first protruding step being formed with the groove to receive the first seal ring.

3. The shower head as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second seal ring has a flange extending upward from an outer edge thereof.

4. The shower head as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cover unit has three water outlets which are an outer water outlet, an inner water outlet and a central water outlet, three water passages and a shift water passage formed between the cover seal seat and the cover unit, the cover seal seat having five through holes which are disposed in a circle, the main body seal seat having a blind hole which is located corresponding to the five through holes of the cover seal seat, an interval defined between the water inlet and the blind hole, the blind hole comprising a seal pad therein, the water inlet communicating with one of the five through holes of the cover seal seat by means of rotation to open the relative water passage, the blind hole being to block the other through holes and close the other water passages.
