Description

The invention relates to an indoor fountain, with a fountain vessel forming a water reservoir with therein he arranged electric pump and several above the Well vessel held at a distance from one another Overflow levels in the form of fixed and / or movable water troughs, one of which has a riser is connected to the pump.

The object of the invention is one constructed in this way Indoor fountain in a simple way with an enlarged Equip water evaporation surface so that a improved air humidification arises.

This object is achieved by the characterizing Features of claim 1 solved, which are subsequent sub-claims contain design features, the advantageous and beneficial further training of the Represent task solution.

The indoor fountain according to the invention is the one of Bowls or a water wheel formed overflow stages load-bearing well cover, which is removable on the Well vessel placed and is designed as a flat bowl. In this fountain cover is a water drain in the form of a Hole provided so that the water flowing in the circuit results in a water lake on the fountain cover and thereby  an enlarged evaporation surface arises, the one improved humidification results.

By designing the largely closed Well cover and the coordination of the water inlet over the The well and the water drain in the fountain cover will Formation of the water lake on the fountain cover achieved.

The fountain cover provides a separation of water supply and Pump to the indoor fountain water feature.

This water lake forms on the fountain cover has an improvement in the optics and the indoor fountain thereby a tasteful design on the Get top.

Any number can be numbered on the fountain cover Arrange bowls and also on the different ones geometric points, but a helical one Course for the water should be present.

Furthermore, the fountain cover can carry a water wheel, which gives the indoor fountain a special taste Gives design.

Furthermore, in addition to the water drain or instead of the water drain in the well cover Throttle valve to regulate the water cycle from Place the well cover next to the well vessel or the riser pipe.

In the drawing is an embodiment of the invention shown in variation, which is described in more detail below is explained. It shows:

Fig. 1 is a vertical section through a room wells with well covers,

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the well covers,

Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the room fountain arranged in the well cover throttle valve,

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of an indoor fountain with a fountain cover and a water wheel arranged thereon.

The indoor or decorative fountain has a well vessel ( 1 ) forming a water reservoir, in which an electric pump ( 2 ) is arranged. Above the well vessel ( 1 ), several overflow stages ( 3 ) are arranged at a distance above one another in the form of fixed and / or movable water troughs, one of which is connected to the pump ( 2 ) via a riser pipe ( 4 ).

On top of the well vessel ( 1 ), a flat bowl-shaped well cover ( 5 ) carrying the overflow stages ( 3 ) with a water drain ( 6 ) to the well vessel ( 1 ) is placed, in which a water lake ( 7 ) forms in the water cycle.

The water outlet ( 6 ) is formed by a hole in the well cover ( 5 ), which is recessed at a short distance from the riser pipe ( 4 ) in the well cover ( 5 ), preferably in the center of the well cover ( 5 ).

The fountain cover ( 5 ) has a self-level shell bottom ( 5 a), in which the hole ( 6 ) is recessed and on which the water lake ( 7 ) forms.

The fountain cover ( 5 ) reaches over the edge of the vessel with a peripheral edge profile ( 8 ) and is removably mounted on the well vessel ( 1 ).

The fountain cover ( 5 ) is made of copper.

The well vessel ( 1 ) and the fountain cover ( 5 ) have a circular basic shape.

The overflow stages ( 3 ) according to FIG. 1 are formed by shells ( 9 ) with outlet beaks, which are fastened to one another and one above the other by means of pipes ( 4 , 10 ) on the well cover ( 5 ); the riser pipe ( 4 ) carrying the uppermost shell ( 9 ) extends through the well cover ( 5 ) and is fastened in the well cover ( 5 ) and is connected with the lower end to the pump ( 2 ) with a plug connection.

According to FIG. 3, a rotatable water wheel ( 11 ) is fixed on the fountain cover ( 5 ), the blades ( 12 ) of which form the overflow stages ( 3 ) and a riser pipe ( 4 ) that stands out from the fountain cover ( 5 ) with above the water wheel ( 11 ) horizontal water outlet ( 4 a) is assigned.

The water wheel ( 11 ) is rotatably mounted in a support frame ( 16 ) fastened to the fountain cover ( 5 ).

The electrical cable ( 13 ) of the pump ( 2 ) is led out through a cutout ( 14 ) in the edge of the vessel under the well cover ( 5 ).

( 15 ) denotes a water level indicator fixed in the well cover ( 5 ).

According to the modified embodiment of Figure 3. Arranged one end connected to the riser pipe (4) Throttle valve (20) in the well cover (5), which is composed of a set in the well cover (5) valve connecting piece (17) and an engaging therein throttle screw (18) put together. The valve socket ( 17 ) is connected below the well cover ( 5 ) via a connecting piece ( 19 ) to the riser pipe ( 4 ) running to the pump ( 2 ) and the throttle screw ( 18 ) regulates the water flow from the pump ( 2 ) into the riser pipe ( 4 ) by changing the flow cross section of the connecting piece ( 19 ).

Furthermore, the water drainage of the water lake from the fountain cover ( 5 ) through the throttle valve ( 20 ) into the riser pipe ( 4 ) or else into the well vessel ( 1 ) is adjustable; in the second case, the water flows back through the throttle valve ( 20 ) directly into the well vessel ( 1 ) and the throttle valve ( 20 ) has no connection to the riser pipe ( 4 ).

The fountain cover ( 5 ) can be equipped only with a hole-shaped water drain ( 6 ) or only with the throttle valve ( 20 ) or with a water drain ( 6 ) and throttle valve ( 20 ).
