Abstract

A shower with rotatable top and bottom rotating covers and a rotatable watering function, comprising: a shower housing, a watering unit having a tilted hole, an impeller set beneath the tilted hole and axially located between the shower housing and the watering unit, a top rotating cover protruding on the shower housing and fixed on the top of the impeller, and a bottom rotating cover protruding under the watering unit and fixed beneath the impeller. The top and bottom rotating covers rotate with the impeller around the same axis. The bottom cover contains an off-center outlet. The water stream from the tilted hole of watering unit will strike the impeller, rotating the top and bottom rotating cover around the same axis. The off-center outlet of the bottom rotating cover then generates a rotating spray.

Claims

1. A shower, comprising:

a shower housing;

a watering unit which includes a tilted hole, and including

an orientation watering plate which is fixed on said shower housing, said orientation watering plate and said shower housing forming a chamber, an orientation watering hole being set on said chamber, and

a water division unit which is rotatably connected to said shower housing;

an impeller set beneath said tilted hole, said impeller being axially located between said shower housing and said watering unit;

a protruding top rotating cover on said shower housing and being fixed on a top of said impeller; and

a protruding bottom rotating cover under said watering unit and being fixed beneath said impeller, said top and bottom rotating covers rotating along with said impeller around a same axis, said bottom rotating cover having an off-center outlet.

2. The shower according to claim 1, wherein there are two opposite orientation watering holes.

3. The shower according to claim 1, wherein said water division unit comprises a supporting seat, a tilted member and a cover sequentially connected with each other, said supporting seat being rotably supported on said shower housing, said supporting seat having a first and a second water division hole which can respectively superpose said orientation watering hole when said water division unit rotates, said first water division hole forming a first water division chamber with said tilted member, said second water division hole forming a second water division chamber with said tilted member, said tilted hole being disposed on said tilted member which is inside said first water division chamber.

4. The shower according to claim 3, wherein there are respectively two opposite first water division holes and second water division holes.

5.
