Abstract

A shower head contains a shower head core with a connection to a water main and a cup-shaped jacket surrounding the core. The jacket only frees the jet disk connected to the core. For switching between two groups of jet exit openings a switching element is provided, which is rotatably located in the shower head core and is rotated by rotating the shower head jacket with respect to the still stationary core and jet disk.
