The invention relates to a shower attachment which comprises a first part (T) which comprises a water guiding channel (), and a second part (T) which comprises at least one first and one second outlet opening (A, A) which can be selectively connected to the water guiding channel () by means of a valve (V). Said valve (V) is embodied by areas (BI, B) of the two parts (TI, T), which are connected to each other in a manner such that they can be displaced and are arranged in the inside of the second part (T). The valve (V) can be changed by displacing at least one part (T), and the both known areas (B, B) are connected together in such a manner that they can pivot. The first part (T) comprises a pivotable axis () and at least one outlet opening () which is arranged at a distance therefrom. The second part (T) comprises, optionally, at least two inlet openings which are arranged at a distance in relation to said pivotable axis ().

Shower attachment

The water discharge device (faucet) is provided with a pullout spray head ( ) that may be pulled down from the curved pipe ( ) and which spray head is provided with a discharge mouthpiece ( ). A switching valve ( ) is arranged within said spray head ( ) whereby said switching valve ( ) is positioned in a housing ( ) that is dimensioned in such a manner that it may be grasped by the user with one hand. Said switching valve ( ) may be actuated by an operating lever ( ). Said operating lever ( ) is a bail (U-shaped lever) that is pivotably mounted on a water-guiding part ( ) and which in turn is connected to a switching arrangement ( ) mounted in said housing ( ) with which a valve member ( ) of the diverting valve ( ) may be moved in its longitudinal direction during movement of the bail ( ). Said bail ( ) is arranged in such a manner that it may be operated with the thumb of the hand that is grasping said housing ( ). Said valve member ( ) may be preferably moved by means of a cam ( ) of said switching arrangement ( ). The device may be operated ergonomically in a very simple manner.

Shower head

A hand held water outlet head includes a piston 10 carrying a valve disk 8 movable between two seats 6,7 for selectively directing an incoming water flow to either an aerator nozzle 17 via ducts 41,44,46, or to shower outlets 47 concentrically surrounding the nozzle via ducts 42,43.The piston/valve disk position is controlled by the thumb depression of a diaphragm 34 overlying a rocker arm 29, whose one end 32 is coupled to the piston and whose other end 31 may be latched by a slider 21. Incoming water pressure holds the disk in the shower position against the force of a spring 11, which returns the disk to the nozzle position when the water is turned off, unless the rocker arm is latched by the slider.
