Abstract
A switching valve is proposed that switches between at least two different outlets with the aid of a valve closing body and a valve seat. The valve contains an actuating device that can be actuated by the user. The actuating device acts on an advancing device that advances the valve closing body from a stable, discrete position into another stable, discrete position. The advancement can be caused either by the interaction of beveled surfaces or by means of the flow of water.
