Abstract
A pulsating shower head that employs a rotor for effecting the discharge of a pulsating spray, a continuous spray, or a combination of both comprising an upper body housing, a lower body housing, a stem housing affixed to the lower body housing, a stem affixed to the upper body housing and held in slidable relation to the stem housing, a spray plate affixed to the stem housing, a nozzle plate held in fixed relation to the spray plate and stem housing, and a rotor. Rotation of the lower body housing and stem housing with respect to the stationary stem causes the selective discharge of either a pulsed spray through a first set of jet-discharge apertures, a continuous spray through a second set of jet-discharge apertures, or a combination of both pulse spray and jet spray. The stem comprises a tangentially outwardly facing groove that provides a sliding watertight seal between the stem and the stem housing and acts to close off pulse or spray apertures in the stem housing as desired. The shower head may be incorporated into either a wall mounted unit or a hand held unit.
