Abstract

A side spraying shower head includes an inlet waterway; a cover unit with a first and second water cavity; a water diversion body covering the cover unit, the water diversion body having a first inlet hole connected to the first water cavity and a second inlet hole connected to the second water cavity; a fixation base attached to the water diversion body, the fixation base including a first connection waterway and a second connection; a switch shaft, laterally movable inside the fixation base, the central portion of the switch shaft including a seal portion disposed between the first and second connection waterway; a press mechanism attached to the cover unit to push the switch shaft to close the second connection waterway; an elastic element abuts against the switch shaft and the fixation base to push the switch shaft to close the first connection waterway.

Claims (32)

1. A side spraying shower head, comprising:

an inlet waterway;

a cover unit with a first water cavity and a second water cavity;

a water diversion body covering the cover unit, the water diversion body comprising a first inlet hole which is connected to the first water cavity and a second inlet hole which is connected to the second water cavity;

a fixation base attached to the water diversion body, the fixation base including a first connection waterway which connects the inlet waterway and the first inlet hole and a second connection waterway which connects the inlet waterway and the second inlet hole;

a switch shaft, movable back and forth laterally inside the fixation base, a central portion of the switch shaft including a seal portion disposed between the first connection waterway and the second connection waterway to alternately close the first connection waterway and the second connection waterway;

a press mechanism attached to the cover unit to push the switch shaft to move at a first direction to close the second connection waterway;

an elastic element abuts against the switch shaft and the fixation base to push the switch shaft to move at a second direction to close the first connection waterway,

wherein

the press mechanism comprises a push block, where the push block is movable back and forth vertically inside the fixation base,
