A shower jet outlet device and a shower head equipped therewith have a jet disk with at least one jet disk opening and a jet outlet element disposed in the jet disk opening. The jet outlet element is pot-shaped with an outlet-side bottom, a side wall and a hollow chamber delimited by the bottom and the side wall. The bottom faces in the jet outlet direction and includes fine jet openings. The bottom and the side wall are made of an elastic material and the jet outlet element is configured to deform by bulging of its bottom and/or its side wall, in response to fluid pressure in the hollow chamber when operating.

Shower jet outlet device and shower device equipped therewith

A shower jet generating device for a shower head, illustratively for a sanitary shower head, including a shower jet disk delimiting a fluid chamber on an outlet side and including at least one jet outlet opening leading out of the fluid chamber and at least one overpressure valve opening, and comprising at least one overpressure valve disposed on the overpressure valve opening. The overpressure valve illustratively includes an overpressure outlet opening leading out of the fluid chamber, an immobile valve seat and a valve body capable of movement controlled by a fluid pressure in the fluid chamber and interacting with the valve seat, which valve body, in a normal pressure position, rests against the valve seat, thereby closing the overpressure outlet opening, and, in an overpressure position, is lifted off the valve seat, thereby exposing the overpressure outlet opening.

A shower head comprising has a shower base body (') and a jet disk structure () disposed on the shower base body. The jet disk structure () includes plural jet disk elements () that are individually and detachably fixable to the shower base body () and each forms a partial jet disk surface () of a total jet disk surface. Furthermore, the shower base body has a distinct fluid supply () for each of the jet disk elements. The structure can be embodied, for example, as a shower-bath shower head, in particular for an overhead, hand-held and/or side shower, for providing a water jet.

Shower head

A support device useful for holding height-adjustable hand-held showers and other devices includes a support slider (), displaceable along a support bar (), having a releasable clamping device () for fixing the support slider on the support bar. The clamping device () has two clamping jaws () capable of being expanded elastically from a clamping position reducing the clamping gap to a sliding position increasing the clamping gap, which jaws encompass the support bar () at least partially, and define a clamping gap () between them. An operating unit (), in an operative position, retains the clamping jaws in a clamping gap increasing sliding position, while the clamping jaws assume their clamping position in an initial position of the operating unit.

Support device and hand-held shower

The invention relates to a spray device having a fluid outlet structure that forms a spray jet, said fluid outlet structure having a plurality of jet outlet units of which at least two are configured as multi-duct jet outlet units having in each case at least one first outlet duct and at least one second outlet duct fluidically separated from the first. Moreover, the spray device has a fluid guide which is designed to conduct a fluid supplied to the spray device selectively to the first outlet ducts or to the second outlet ducts. According to the invention, a minimum spacing (A) between the outlet ducts of each particular multi-duct jet outlet unit () is smaller than a minimum spacing between the outlet ducts of in each case two multi-duct jet outlet units, and/or in at least one multi-duct jet outlet unit, a second outlet duct or a group of a plurality of second outlet ducts is arranged so as to surround a first outlet duct at least around a part of its circumference.
