[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a massage shower head of this type, a pulsating rotor which is self-rotating by a water flow is disposed inside, and the pulsating flow of water is generated by intermittently opening and closing a shower hole opened at the bottom of the shower head. There is known a shower head that massages the skin surface of a human body by intermittently ejecting the water in a state (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-47436).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The method of utilizing the pulsating flow of water described in the related art is not always sufficient because the massage effect on the skin surface depends on the water pressure. In addition, this method complicates the structure, thus increasing the number of parts and increasing the manufacturing cost.

The present invention utilizes the flow of water without causing any problem in the amount of water as the original shower spouting from the shower hole, and converts it into mechanical vibration having a more massage effect. It aims to reduce the number of parts and eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks by sharing the roles of massage and massage and simultaneously simplifying the structure.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a rotor 2 which is rotated by running water is arranged inside a shower head, and a projection 6 is provided in a diameter direction thereof to generate a massage effect. Alternatively, the convex component 9 has a function of being pushed out and converted into vibration. In addition, in order to fix the ball arrangement and prevent it from deviating, a ball holder 3 having a shower water hole is provided, and a ball cover 3 is used to prevent the ball from directly touching the skin and at the same time restore the ball position. It is fixed with a cap 5. On the other hand, when the convex-shaped component 9 is arranged, the position of the convex-shaped component extruded by the rotor 2 is restored by the held spring, so that the rubber cover 4 is not always necessary.

The number of blades constituting the rotor shown in FIG. 2 which causes vibration in the ball or the convex component of the present invention, which constitutes the rotor of FIG. However, it is not limited, and a structure that efficiently rotates by water flow is preferable. Further, the protrusion C that serves to push out the ball is provided at a position where the side surface of the rotor contacts the ball or the convex component, and the number is appropriately in the range of 1 to 4, but the number is not limited. The higher the number, the higher the vibration frequency of the ball.

According to the first aspect, the ball hole diameter D of the ball holder shown in FIG. 3, which has a function of always arranging the massage ball at a predetermined position and preventing the ball from coming out when necessary, is the ball diameter. Almost the same or slightly smaller. Further, the surface of the holder is provided with a shower hole d which serves the purpose of the original shower.

[0008] In claim 1, a rubber having a size of about 1 mm shown in FIG. 4 or an elastomer similar to the one shown in FIG. 4 that covers the outer side of the ball functions as a cushion when the ball comes into contact with the skin and restores the ball to a predetermined position. It is provided for continuously repeating the amplitude. Also, make holes in the rubber sheet that are large enough not to block the fountain.

As shown in FIG. 6, the convex-shaped component serving as the massage function of claim 2 has a spring built therein, and after the rotor protrusion C contacts the cap and is extruded, it is restored to its original position. Playing a role.

Further, the cap shown in FIG. 5 is screwed on the outermost side of the above-mentioned components and plays a role of fixing them in place. In claim 2, the frame b is not always necessary.

[0011]

[Action]

 The projections provided on the side surface of the rotor rotated by the water flow sequentially extrude balls or convex parts arranged along the circumferential direction of the shower hole surface, and repeat the returned vibration to cause a massage action. The number of projections, balls, or convex parts is not limited. The frequency increases as the number increases.

Embodiment 1 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments shown below exemplify a massage shower head for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the shower head of the present invention of the present invention is made of materials, shapes, dimensions, The structure and arrangement are not limited to the structures below. The shower head of this invention can be modified in various ways within the scope of the claims for utility model registration. 1, a and b are respectively a plan view and a side view of the present invention, and FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 5 are a plan view and a side view of the built-in parts of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, respectively. . The shower head outer shell 1, the ball holder 3, and the cap 5 shown in these figures were manufactured by injection molding using ABS and AS resin.

The rotor 2 is made of glass fiber reinforced nylon resin by injection molding in the same manner with an emphasis on wear resistance. As the ball 6, a stainless ball having a diameter of 5 mm, which also has excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance, was used. A protrusion C was provided along the diameter of the side surface of the rotor 2. The height of the protrusion that determines the vibration width of the ball was 2 mm. Next, the hole diameter of the ball holder 3 was made slightly smaller than the ball diameter so that the ball would not jump out. Further, a water hole for a shower was provided in the central portion, and both were arranged as shown in FIG.

Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) was used for the rubber cover 4 and was molded into the shape shown in FIG. The above components were assembled in the housing 1 and screwed by the cap 5 having the shape shown in FIG. 5 to be assembled as shown in FIG. The water inlet 8 of the grip 7 and the water supply or hot water supply faucet are connected by a hose.

[0015]

[Embodiment 2] FIG. 6 shows an assembled perspective view of a holder 10 provided with a convex part 9 of the present invention. Each time the rib c of the rotor 2 that rotates due to the water flow contacts the hemisphere of the convex part, it pushes it up, and it is restored by the spring to repeat the vibration and to perform the function of massage, and at the same time, to the rotor from the shower hole in the holder The water rotated or hot water gushed out and served as a massage and shower. Other aspects of the present invention are the same as in the first embodiment.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

When water is supplied to the massage shower head of the present invention, the rotor 2 is rotated by the water flow, and the projections provided on the side surface of the rotor sequentially push out the balls 6 or the convex parts, while the rubber sheet or the spring pushes them back. As a result, the ball or convex component repeatedly vibrates to generate a massage effect, and at the same time, water is continuously sprayed from the shower hole. That is, the water or hot water used to rotate the rotor is simultaneously used as the water or hot water ejected from the shower hole, but this does not hinder the purpose of the shower. Therefore, it is very efficient. In addition, the effect of massaging is great because the ball acts through the elastic body or the convex part directly acts on the skin. At the same time, the effect of the fountain of the shower and / or the heating also irritates the skin, which has a synergistic effect on the massage.
