ABSTRACT:
A switch of a water tap includes a pipe. The pipe includes a cylindrical wall defining a longitudinal bore, and a baffle plate integrally formed with the cylindrical wall and dividing the longitudinal bore into a first section and a second section. The first section has a closed end and two outlets, extending through the cylindrical wall to communicate the first section with respective pipes to a shower head and a tap. The second section has an inlet extending through the cylindrical wall to an interior thereof and close to the baffle plate. The baffle plate defines a pair of through holes. A cylinder is received in the second section of the pipe and in communication with the pipe. The cylinder has a first end which is substantially closed, a second end defining an opening and a circumferential wall extending between the first and second ends. The cylinder further defines a pair of apertures through the first end thereof to correspond to the pair of through holes of the pipe. A first ceramic disk is received in the cylinder and abuts the first end of the cylinder. The first ceramic disk has a pair of bores defined therein to correspond to the pair of apertures of the cylinder. A second ceramic disk is received in the cylinder and abuts the first ceramic disk. The second ceramic disk has an orifice defined therein. The switch further includes a drive mechanism for enabling the orifice of the second ceramic disk to be selectively aligned with one of the pair of bores of the first ceramic disk. By switching the drive mechanism, water can be selectively directed to a shower head and a tap nozzle.
