Abstract
A new scanner fluidic oscillator is used in an economically manufactured fluidic showerhead or nozzle assemblywhich aims oscillating sprays from multiple scanner fluidics to spread water uniformly over a preselected coverage area. The scanner fluidics and showerhead of the present invention provide a pleasing spray pattern, droplet size, droplet velocity, and temperature uniformity at very low flow rates (i.e., 2 gpm or less) for showering. The scanner fluidics are provided in a plurality of distinct configurations for generating individually tailored scanning sprays having a selected scanning spray characteristics. The showerhead's front plate (e.g.,) is configured to support and aim the fluidic oscillators, optionally with indexing slotsconfigured to receive corresponding angular indexing tabson the fluidic oscillator inserts to orient and aim the spray from each fluidic oscillator (e.g.,).
