Abstract

A shower head 10C has at least one mixing chamber 24a-c with an air inlet 22a suitable for connection to a supply of pressurised air, a water inlet 18a suitable for connection to a supply of pressurised water, and at least one outlet 32a-c for the water and air, the mixture leaving the shower head to form a shower of water droplets having a mean trajectory (middle arrow), wherein a substantial portion of the droplets have individual trajectories offset from but which converge (upper and lower arrows) towards the mean trajectory of the shower head. Multiple mixing chambers with separate outlets may be provided, each with its own air and water supply. Alternatively the outlet may be annular. In some embodiment, the trajectory is adjustable, while the amount of aeration and vortex mixing is controllable. Webs, baffles or deflector cones may be provided to guide the flow. An absence of the rose, i.e. a perforated plate, is observed on this invention.
