Abstract

A shower head includes a body provided with a waterway. A first switch is movably mounted on the body to be responsible for selectively opening and closing the waterway and a second switch movably mounted on the body to be responsible for selectively changing water output patterns. The first switch has a rear pushbutton, a driving rod movably connected to the rear pushbutton and a diverting element movable relative to the body to be responsible for closing or opening the waterway. The second switch has a front pushbutton, a sliding element having a rack formed on a face thereof, a diverter rotatably received inside the body, a gear rotatably received inside the body and having first ratchet teeth and a rotor having second ratchet teeth selectively engaged with the first ratchet teeth to allow the rotation of the gear to drive the second ratchet teeth of the rotor to disengage with the first ratchet teeth of the gear as well as the rotor and the diverter to rotate accordingly.
