The first housing part has a jet splitter having a plurality of splitter openings, and mutually spaced-apart jet ducts are provided on a housing inner circumference of the second housing part. Individual jets coming from the splitter openings are adapted to be guided through the jet ducts and are adapted to be formed into an annularly circumferential outflow jet pattern when the housing parts are in a first rotary position. The individual jets coming from the splitter openings are adapted to be deflected in a housing interior of the jet regulator toward a central outflow opening in the jet regulator housing when the housing parts are in a second rotary position. A rotary latch having at least one latching tooth is provided between the first housing part and the second housing part. The latching tooth is integrally formed on a duct wall and faces the housing interior of the jet regulator housing. At least one of the jet ducts and the latching tooth interact with a latching profile, which is arranged on a circumferential wall of the first housing part.
