Patent ID: 8881993

Claim:
A showerhead for personal hygiene comprising: a spray face; a cavity in fluid communication with a water supply and said spray face by way of a plurality of nozzle apertures, each having a first aperture area and at least one second aperture having a second area that is different than the first nozzle area; a spray selector controlling fluid flow between said cavity and each of the plurality of nozzle apertures; a power supply of a battery-electric motor or a spring; an actuator providing mechanical communication between said power supply and said selector to move said selector; a set of pre-programmed program modes for sequentially operating a set of multiple spray patterns for varying durations and intensities during a program mode, said spray patterns are generated by the rotation of said spray selector relative to said spray face, and said spray selector varies the shape and an overall nozzle area of each of said plurality of nozzle apertures to modify flow pattern and flow rate from said showerhead; a user interface for providing a user with selective movement of said selector to sequentially provide said set of multiple spray patterns from said spray face without intermediate manual intervention between the multiple spray patterns from said spray face; and wherein said user interface comprises buttons that initiate and select programs from among said set of pre-programmed program modes for sequentially operating the multiple spray patterns for varying durations and intensities during a program mode.
