Showerhead
An overhead showerhead 100 comprising; a faceplate 201 with at least one aperture 202, a chamber 204 configured to be in fluid communication with a water supply, a nozzle 205 located at least partially in each aperture and an enclosure portion 211 (fig 2) which protrudes into the chamber from back plate 203 and surrounds, at least partially, the nozzle body and nozzle inlet 207. The showerhead is configured such that water can flow between the enclosure portion and the nozzle inlet via a tortuous and relatively narrow path which reduces or prevents water dripping from the shower head once the water supply is cut off. Other embodiments (fig 3) may include a projection portion 218’ protruding from the back plate 203’ into the nozzle inlet 217’, this may be used in conjunction with the enclosure portion or as the only leakage prevention feature.
