  • Fluid switch-over device and sanitary shower device
    Patent number: 10871236
    Abstract: A fluid switch-over device illustratively for use in a sanitary shower device, including at least one fluid inlet, at least two fluid outlets, and a movable switch-over body for controlling fluid connections of the at least two fluid outlets to the at least one fluid inlet. The switch-over body is switchable between at least three different operating positions. An actuation device is configured for sequential and bidirectional switching-over actuation of the switch-over body both in a forward switch-over direction and in a backward switch-over direction inverse to the forward switch-over direction. The actuation device illustratively includes a first actuation unit for sequential switching-over actuation of the switch-over body in the forward switch-over direction and a second actuation unit for sequential switching-over actuation of the switch-over body in the backward switch-over direction, wherein the two actuation units comprise operating elements that are user-operable independently of each other.
