Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine sanitäre Handbrause mit
- a) einem an einem Brauseschlauch anschließbaren Handgriff;
- b) einem von dem Handgriff getragenen Duschkopf, der an einer Seite eine Mehrzahl von Wasseraustrittsöffnungen aufweist und dessen Gehäuse aus Kunststoff gefertigt ist;
- c) mindestens einem Leuchtmittel, dessen Licht an mindestens einer Stelle aus dem Duschkopf austritt.
- a) a connectable to a shower hose handle;
- b) a handle supported by the shower head, which has on one side a plurality of water outlet openings and whose housing is made of plastic;
- c) at least one light source whose light emerges from the shower head at at least one point.
Eine derartige sanitäre Handbrause ist in der WO 2005/ 118967 A1 beschrieben. Diese Druckschrift befasst sich im wesentlichen mit der Frage, wie ein Akkumulator, aus welchem die Leuchtmittel gespeist werden, wieder aufgeladen werden kann. Die Leuchtmitel sind hier entweder in der Strahlaustrittsfläche angeordnet, so daß ihr Licht durch Öffnungen in der Strahlaustrittsfläche nach außen gelangt, oder die Leuchtmittel befinden sich im wasserführenden Bereich und geben ihr Licht in das Wasser ab. Über das Material, aus dem das Gehäuse des Duschkopfs besteht, finden sich in der WO 2005/118967 A1 keine Angaben. Es ist jedoch davon auszugehen, daß dieses Material, wie bei allen bisher bekannten sanitären Handbrausen, lichtundurchlässig ist.A such sanitary Hand shower is described in WO 2005/118967 A1. This document is essentially concerned with the question of how an accumulator, from which the bulbs are fed, recharged can be. The luminaries are arranged here either in the beam exit surface, so that you Light through openings in the beam exit surface outward arrives, or the bulbs are in the water-bearing Area and give her light into the water. About the material from which the casing of the shower head, there are none in WO 2005/118967 A1 Information. However, it is assumed that this material, as in all previously known sanitary Hand showers, opaque is.
Bei der in der WO 2005/118967 beschriebenen sanitären Handbrause sind die Leuchtmittel aufgrund ihrer Anord nung in den Duschköpfen nicht besonders geschützt; darüber hinaus ist ihre optische Wirkung vergleichsweise gering.at the sanitary hand shower described in WO 2005/118967 are the bulbs not particularly protected due to their arrangement in the shower heads; Furthermore their optical effect is comparatively low.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine sanitäre Handbrause der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die bei einem neuartigen, besonders ansprechendem Design einen besseren Schutz für die Leuchtmittel gewährleistet.task The present invention is a sanitary hand shower of the beginning to create the type mentioned in a novel, particularly appealing Design a better protection for the Ensures lighting.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß
- d) das Gehäuse des Duschkopfes aus einem glasklaren Material besteht;
- e) an oder in dem Gehäuse mindestens ein zwei- oder dreidimensionaler lichtstreuender Bereich vorgesehen ist.
- d) the housing of the shower head is made of a crystal-clear material;
- e) at least one two- or three-dimensional light-scattering region is provided on or in the housing.
Aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Wahl eines glasklaren Materials für das Gehäuse des Duschkopfes ist es möglich, die Leuchtmittel an beliebiger Stelle, wo sie gut geschützt werden kann, unterzubringen, sofern ihr Licht nur das Innere des Gehäuses des Duschkopfes erreicht. In Frage kommen Stellen innerhalb des Duschkopfes selbst, aber auch innerhalb des Handgriffes, dort in der Nähe der Grenzfläche zwischen Handgriff und Gehäuse. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung werden zum Austritt des Lichtes keine besonderen Öffnungen benötigt. Die Transparenz des Gehäuses des Duschkopfes ermöglicht zudem, daß der Benutzer die inneren Wasserwege erkennen und durch den Duschkopf hindurch die Brausestrahlen beobachten kann, was zu dem gesamten ästhetischen Erscheinungsbild beiträgt.by virtue of the choice of the invention a crystal clear material for the housing of the shower head it is possible the bulbs anywhere, where they are well protected can accommodate, provided their light only the interior of the case Shower head reached. Eligible areas within the shower head itself, but also within the handle, there near the interface between Handle and housing. In the embodiment according to the invention Be the exit of the light no special openings needed. The transparency of the case allows the shower head Moreover, that the Users recognize the internal waterways and through the shower head the shower jets can observe, leading to the overall aesthetic Appearance contributes.
Während das Licht, welches das Gehäuse des Duschkopfes durchsetzt, in den glasklaren Bereichen praktisch nicht gestreut wird und daher von einem Betrachter nur an denjenigen Stellen entgegen der Strahlrichtung gesehen werden kann, an denen das Licht nach den Brechungsgesetzen aus dem glasklaren Material austritt, findet an den lichtstreuenden Bereichen eine Lichtstreuung derart statt, daß hier diffuse, nach allen Richtungen gerichtete Strahlen entstehen, die vom Betrachter aus allen möglichen Richtungen erkannt werden können. Auf diese Weise entsteht der optische Eindruck von Lichtquellen, die gewissermaßen freischwebend in dem glasklaren Material des Duschkopfes angeordnet sind.While that Light, which is the case of the Shower head interspersed, in the crystal clear areas practically not is scattered and therefore by a viewer only in those places can be seen against the beam direction, where the light emerges from the crystal-clear material according to the laws of refraction, finds light scattering at the light-scattering areas instead of that here diffuse, directed in all directions rays arise, the from the viewer of all sorts Directions can be recognized. This creates the visual impression of light sources, in a sense floating in the crystal clear material of the shower head arranged are.
Als glasklares Material eignen sich besonders Polycarbonat (PC) oder Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA).When crystal-clear material are particularly suitable polycarbonate (PC) or Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
Wenn der Duschkopf aus mindestens zwei Teilen zusammengesetzt ist, kann der mindestens eine lichtstreuende Bereich an einer inneren Oberfläche eines Teils des Gehäuses ausgebildet sein. Auf diese Weise ist es verhältnismäßig einfach, den lichtstreuenden Bereich ins Innere des Gehäuses zu legen, wo naturgemäß der erzielbare optische Effekt besonders groß ist.If the shower head is composed of at least two parts, can the at least one light scattering region on an inner surface of a Part of the housing be educated. In this way, it is relatively easy, the light-scattering Area inside the case where naturally achievable optical effect is particularly large.
Einfacher in der Ausführung aber immer noch eindrucksvoll ist es, wenn der mindestens eine lichtstreuende Bereich an einer Außenfläche des Duschkopfes angeordnet ist.Easier in the execution but it is still impressive when the at least one light scattering Area on an outer surface of the shower head is arranged.
Der lichtstreuende Bereich kann auf unterschiedliche Weise hergestellt werden: So ist es möglich, einen Oberflächenbereich eines Werkzeuges, das zur Herstellung des Duschkopfes verwendet wird, durch Erodieren aufzurauhen. Die Rauhigkeit in dem fraglichen Werkzeugbereich überträgt sich beim Spritzen des entsprechenden Duschkopfteiles auf dessen Oberfläche und führt hier zu der erwünschten lichtstreuenden Wirkung.Of the light-scattering area can be produced in different ways become: so it is possible a surface area a tool used to make the shower head, roughen by eroding. The roughness in the tool area in question is transmitted when spraying the corresponding shower head part on the surface and leads here to the desired light-scattering Effect.
Alternativ ist es auch möglich, den lichtstreuenden Bereich durch eine Laserbehandlung herzustellen oder einfach auf eine äußere oder innere Oberfläche des Gehäuses des Duschkopfes aufzudrucken.alternative it is also possible to produce the light-scattering region by laser treatment or just on an outer or inner surface of the housing of the shower head.
Interessante optische Effekte lassen sich weiter dadurch erzielen, daß das Gehäuse des Duschkopfes mindestens eine reflektierende Fläche aufweist, an welcher das von dem Leuchtmittel ausgesandte Licht innerhalb des Gehäuses reflektiert wird. Auf diese Weise ist es insbesondere möglich, bei einer oder nur wenigen zentral angeordneten Leuchtmitteln praktisch das gesamte Material des Gehäuses des Duschkopfes zu durchstrahlen.Interesting optical effects can be further achieved by the fact that the housing of the Shower head has at least one reflective surface on which the light emitted by the light source is reflected within the housing. In this way, it is possible in particular to irradiate virtually all the material of the housing of the shower head with one or only a few centrally arranged light sources.
