Abstract

A shower head has a jet disc having fluid passage channels and a control disc arranged so as to be rotatably movable relative to the jet disc. The control disc has a control slot pattern by which the fluid passage channels are opened up or blocked individually or group-wise depending on the control disc rotary position. The control slot pattern and the fluid passage channels are matched to one another such that, in the event of rotation of the control disc, successively at least two different jet patterns are obtained for a fluid jet exiting from the jet disc. A manually operable blocking mechanism can selectively enable or block the control disc rotary movement in at least one blocking position which corresponds to an associated jet pattern.
