A shower jet generating device for a shower head, illustratively for a sanitary shower head, including a shower jet disk delimiting a fluid chamber on an outlet side and including at least one jet outlet opening leading out of the fluid chamber and at least one overpressure valve opening, and comprising at least one overpressure valve disposed on the overpressure valve opening. The overpressure valve illustratively includes an overpressure outlet opening leading out of the fluid chamber, an immobile valve seat and a valve body capable of movement controlled by a fluid pressure in the fluid chamber and interacting with the valve seat, which valve body, in a normal pressure position, rests against the valve seat, thereby closing the overpressure outlet opening, and, in an overpressure position, is lifted off the valve seat, thereby exposing the overpressure outlet opening.

A flotation machine includes a wash water system that is connectable adjacent a tank to direct sprays of water into froth within a froth zone. Wash water panel assemblies of the system can be positioned adjacent the tank so that each of the wash water panel assemblies are moveable between an open position and a closed position. Each wash water panel assembly can include an outer panel body that at least partially defines a reservoir in which wash water is passable and a spray membrane positionable adjacent the outer panel body. The spray membrane can have a plurality of spray holes in fluid communication with the reservoir such that water is passable from the reservoir and through the spray membrane via the spray holes for spraying water into the froth in the froth zone.

A shower jet generating device for a sanitary shower head has a jet disk that delimits a fluid chamber on the outlet side and has at least one jet disk opening. A fluid outlet element is disposed on the at least one jet disk opening and is movable in an axial main direction component, which element includes a movable valve body having a fluid outlet opening issuing from the fluid chamber. The fluid outlet opening is unblocked in an unblocking position of the fluid outlet element and is blocked in a blocking position of the fluid outlet element in response to a fluid pressure in the fluid chamber. The movable valve body cooperates with an unmovable valve seat which unblocks the fluid outlet opening in the unblocking position of the fluid outlet element and blocks it in a blocking position of the fluid outlet element.

A nozzle, including a support member and a nozzle boot surrounding at least a portion of the support member, the nozzle boot having a nozzle boot inlet and a nozzle boot outlet spaced from the nozzle boot inlet and a volume between the nozzle boot inlet and the nozzle boot outlet, the nozzle boot being expandable upon the introduction of fluid into the volume, and collapsible upon withdrawal of fluid from the volume. Also disclosed is a method of removing unwanted concrete from a surface by creating tensile stress to concrete adhered to that surface by causing the surface to expand, and a system for injecting fluid (s) into a rotating drum.

A shower head for preventing bacteria formation in the shower head including multiple outlet nozzles each having a valve, where each of the valves is adapted to open when pressurized water flows into the shower head and to close when there is no pressurized water inflow such that residual water is held inside the shower head, a disinfectant means in fluid communication with the residual water, and means for preventing fluid communication of the disinfectant means with pressurized water flowing through the shower head.
