Abstract

The spray has a spray head, a jet plate (2) with several jet outlet apertures (7) and a water feed which leads to the jet plate. A cleaning device is provided which has several pins (12) arranged in axial extension of the jet outlet apertures and in and out of which they are movable. A drive, driven by the water flowing through the jet outlet apertures, drives the pins in their backward and forward movements. The pins are formed into groups drivable by the drive, whereby in partic. the pins of at least two groups in at least one position of the drive have a different location. The pins are arranged along at least one circle.
