ABSTRACT:
The improved showerhead disclosed herein includes at least two, and preferably four, separate spray nozzles and is constructed so as to permit users to select the particular spray nozzle through which water is to be discharged. The showerhead may be mounted on the end of a conventional shower arm extending from a wall or may be held in the user's hand and connected with a source of water by a flexible conduit.
The showerhead comprises a housing having disc member and dial assembly mounted thereon. The dial assembly includes the spray nozzles, and the selection of a particular spray nozzle is achieved by manually rotating the dial assembly, with respect to the disc member and housing, about its central axis. A novel "butterfly" seal is disposed between the disc member and the dial assembly. A latch is mounted on the housing and cooperates with the dial assembly to retain the dial assembly in its proper position with respect to the disc member. The latch also serves as an indicator to enable the user of the showerhead to know where to position the dial assembly, with respect to the disc member and housing, so that water will be sprayed through a particular spray nozzle. The structure of one of the spray nozzles, when utilized in cooperation with the disc member, provides a pulsating, invigorating spray.
