Abstract

A touch to open/close mechanism for a showerhead includes a driving rod movably and reciprocally positioned between a first position and a second position to selectively block communication between the inlet and the outlet; a first ratchet device adapted to be formed inside the showerhead to selectively position the driving rod at the first position and the second position; and a second ratchet device adapted to be formed inside the showerhead to force the driving rod to rotate for a previously determined degree whenever the driving rod is moved such that a block formed on an outer periphery of the driving rod is able to selectively block communication between the inlet and the outlet.
