Abstract

A shower plate and a water-saving shower using the same are disclosed. The shower plate provided in a head body of a shower used to supply fluid along an inner path thereof, the shower plate includes a plurality of spray holes configured to spray the supplying fluid out, wherein a predetermined amount of the spray hole are direction changing spray holes comprising a direction changing parts projected inwardly there from. The water-saving shower includes a shower plate provided in a head body of a shower used to supply fluid along an inner path thereof, the shower plate comprising a plurality of spray holes configured to spray the supplying fluid out, wherein a predetermined amount of the spray hole are direction changing spray holes comprising a direction changing parts projected inwardly there from, and a filter provided in the head body to filter foreign substances contained in the supplying fluid before the supplying fluid reaches the shower plate.

Claims

1. A shower plate provided in a shower head used to supply fluid along an inner path thereof, the shower plate comprising:

a plurality of spray hole groups, each spray hole group comprising a spray hole and a plurality of direction changing spray holes arranged to circle the spray hole, the spray hole and each direction changing spray hole configured to spray the supplying fluid out,

wherein the spray hole having a triangle shape is located in a center of each spray hole group,

wherein each direction changing spray hole has a concave-quadrangle shape, the concave-quadrangle shape defining a spray hole part and a direction changing part, the direction changing part projecting toward an inward of each direction changing spray hole, a width of the direction changing part becoming narrower toward the inward of each direction changing spray hole,

wherein each direction changing spray hole is formed to penetrate the shower plate from a rear surface of the shower plate to a front surface of the shower plate in a thickness direction of the shower plate which is substantially perpendicular to the front and rear surfaces of the shower plate and is spaced apart from a circumferential surface of the shower plate,

wherein the direction changing part is extended along the thickness direction from the rear surface of the shower plate to the front surface of the shower plate to have a length substantially the same as a length of each direction changing spray hole.

2. The shower plate as claimed in claim 1, wherein the direction changing spray holes are located in an outer portion of the shower plate and a spraying scope of the supplying fluid is determined by outward or inward projection of the direction changing parts with respect to the shower plate.

3. The shower plate as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of spray hole groups are arranged in the shower plate to unite the supplying fluid sprayed out into a single stream.

4. The shower plate as claimed in claim 1, wherein the direction changing part is projected toward the at least one spray hole formed in the center of each spray hole group.
