Abstract
A shower has a housing defining an axis, a conduit in the housing normally supplied with water under pressure and having an axially forwardly open outlet end, and a shower head having an axially rearwardly directed face axially confronting the outlet end and rotatable on the housing about the axis. The shower head is provided with at least two sets of axially forwardly directed spray nozzles and is formed with respective axially rearwardly open passages connected to the sets of nozzles. A seal disk extending across the axis between the outlet end and the rear face of the shower head is formed with an axially throughgoing hole and is fixed in the housing against rotation about the axis while being limitedly axially movable in the housing. An elastically compressible seal ring engaged axially between the outlet end of the conduit and the seal disk around the seal-disk hole presses the seal disk axially forward against the rear face of the shower head.
