Selectively-controlled pulsating water shower head
First Claim
1. A pulsating water shower head, comprising:
- a housing having an inlet connectable at its upper end to a supply of water;
a spray block at the lower end of the housing;
said spray block including a bottom wall, a top wall, an annular side wall joining the bottom and top walls, and an annular partition wall coaxial with said annular side wall and partitioning the space between same and the top and bottom walls into a central chamber and an annular chamber therearound;
said spray block bottom wall being formed with a first group of water outlet openings leading from said central chamber, and a second group of water outlet openings leading from said annular chamber;
said spray block top wall being formed with a first passageway for introducing water into said central chamber, and a second passageway for introducing water into said annular chamber;
a plurality of freely movable members disposed within said annular chamber and drivable therearound by the water inletted into the housing, for ouletting the water through said second group of openings in the form of a pulsating spray, while the water outletted through the first group of openings is in the form of a continuous spray; and
a manually-controlled diverter for selectively opening one of said passageways in the spray block top wall and closing the other to selectively enable either the continuous spray or the pulsating spray to be outletted from the lower head.

Abstract
A selectively-controlled pulsating water shower head comprises a housing including a spray block formed with a central chamber having a first group of openings for outletting a continuous spray, and an annular chamber therearound having a second group of outlet openings. A plurality of freely movable members, in the form of curved segments, are drivable around the annular chamber by the water inletted into the housing for outletting the water through the second group of openings in the form of a pulsating spray. The shower head further includes a manually-controlled diverter having a displaceable stem assembly for selectively enabling either the continuous spray or the pulsating spray.
