Abstract
A push button controlled multifunction shower head. The push button moves a pawl attached to spring biased slide, the pawl bearing against a ratchet wheel which is rotated through a predetermined arcuate step responsive to each push button operation. The ratchet wheel moves a shutter which directs water into a selected one of several races, each race being individually associated with a spray pattern. The shower head may be built into a hand held housing wherein the handle may be held and the push button may be operated by one hand.
