Patent number: 9539591Abstract: The invention relates to a shower head having a rigid housing (1), having a connection for a water line (4) and at least one water transport channel which can be connected to the water line (4) and which ends in nozzles which are arranged on the side of the housing (1) pointing down when in use and through which water streams emerge, wherein the housing (1) has an elongated, flat shape. The aim of the invention is to develop a simple and cost-effectively produced shower head which generates a concentrated water stream and also generates a broad water curtain. Said aim is achieved in that the nozzles are substantially distributed over the entire length of the housing (1) and a manually activated shut-off device is combined with the shower head by means of which the water stream to one part of the nozzle (6) can be interrupted.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2010Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: ROOF GROOVE PUBLISHING S.À.R.L.Inventors: Stefan Raab, Stefan Bruckmann
