Abstract
Disclosed is a shower head comprising a housing-type first part (T) inside which a water duct extends. One end of said water duct communicates with a water inlet. The first part (T) is connected to a second part (T) that is embodied as a discharging element. The receiving space of the discharging element communicates with the other end of the water duct in at least one mode of operation of the shower head. In said mode of operation, the external edge of the second part (T) forms an overflow edge in one region, via which water can flow off. The second part (T) forming the discharging element is composed of a top portion and a bottom portion, between which an interior space is located that communicates with the second end of the water duct in a second mode of operation of the shower head. A plurality of nozzle-type discharge ports (A) are arranged in the bottom portion of the second part (T). The inventive shower head is inexpensive to produce while being able to alternatively or cumulatively generate a water curtain discharged via the overflow edge and/or a plurality of individual shower jets discharged through the nozzle-type discharge ports (A).
