Abstract:
A touch to open/close mechanism for a showerhead includes a driving rod movably and reciprocally positioned between a first position and a second position to selectively block communication between the inlet and the outlet; a first ratchet device adapted to be formed inside the showerhead to selectively position the driving rod at the first position and the second position; and a second ratchet device adapted to be formed inside the showerhead to force the driving rod to rotate for a previously determined degree whenever the driving rod is moved such that a block formed on an outer periphery of the driving rod is able to selectively block communication between the inlet and the outlet.

Claim (Index 8):
The mechanism as claimed in  claim 2  further comprising:\n a passage body adapted to be mounted inside the showerhead; \n a mounting body adapted to be mounted inside the showerhead and securely connected to the passage body to define therebetween a first chamber to receive therein the driving rod; \n a distributor securely attached to a side face of the mounting body and firmly connected to a second free end of the driving rod and having at least one first passage adapted to communicate with the outlet of the showerhead; wherein a free end of the recoil force device is abutted against a side face of the distributor to provide the recoil force to return the driving rod; \n a sealing cover provided to enclose therein the distributor and the recoil force device; and \n a recoil force device sandwiched between the distributor and the sealing cover to be compressed by the movement of the driving rod to selectively release a recoil force to return the driving rod, \n wherein the first ratchet device is formed between the passage body and the mounting body and the second ratchet device is formed between the distributor and the sealing cover, the first ratchet device consists essentially of a first set of ratchets formed on a side face of the passage body and a second set of ratchets formed on an outer periphery of the driving rod to selectively abutted against the first set of ratchets so as to selectively block communication between the inlet and outlet of the showerhead, the second ratchet device consists essentially of a third set of ratchets formed on a side face of the distributor and a fourth set of ratchets formed on a side face of the sealing cover to correspond to the third set of ratchets of the distributor to force the distributor as well as the driving rod to rotate for a previously determined degree.
