Abstract:
A shower head assembly comprising:a main shower head comprising a base including a longitudinal first bore, a hollow outer threaded section secured to and in communication with a pivotal connector secured to a flexible hose, a plurality of first recesses equally spaced around said first bore, and a plurality of first grooves each abutting an inner side of each said first recess; an abutment mechanism including a longitudinal second bore, a circumferential recessed section on one side, a plurality of second recesses equally spaced around said second bore and aligned with said first recesses for forming a plurality of circular holes, and a plurality of second grooves each abutting an inner each said second recess and aligned with said first grooves for forming a plurality of circumferential grooves; an adjusting mechanism comprising an extended circumferential flange, a peripheral recessed portion between said extended circumferential flange and said adjusting mechanism, a sealing ring put on said peripheral recessed portion, said extended circumferential flange and said sealing ring being received in said recessed section of said abutment mechanism, a projected sleeve having a staged outer surface in communication with said first and said second bores, and a circular recess on a side opposite to said extended circumferential flange; a shaft member comprising a staged head and an outer threaded end inserted through said adjusting mechanism, said abutment mechanism, and said base to secure in said first bore, a third bore in communication with flexible hose, and a first channel in communication with said third bore; a diverting member received in said circular recess and having a plurality of second channels in communication with said first and said second bores, and a first nozzle having a plurality of first apertures in communication with said second channels; anda plurality of bent auxiliary shower heads each received in a respective circular hole and including a collar at one end received in a respective circumferential groove, two sealing rings, one above and one below said collar respectively, a third channel, a second nozzle threadedly secured to the opposite end of said auxiliary shower head, and a block member having a plurality of blades for increasing said speed of water passing through said second nozzle;wherein said adjusting mechanism and said diverting member are operative to rotate to a first position so that said second channels are switched to be in communication with said first channel for directing water flowed from said hose through said first channel and said adjusting mechanism to spray through said first apertures in said first nozzle in the form of streams of water; and in a second position of said adjusting mechanism and said diverting member, said second channels are blocked from communicating with said first channel, thus redirecting water from said first channel through said circular recess and said auxiliary, shower heads to spray through said second nozzles in said form of fine streams of water.
