Definitions
- the present invention relates to an adjustable shower head.
- Adjustable shower heads are already known which allow, by rotation, around a central fixed core, a mobile peripheral assembly, of which the projection grid is integral, to obtain either a large and soft spray for normal shower, or a concentrated and more violent jet, for example for massage.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy these disadvantages. It concerns an adjustable shower head allowing the water jet to be stopped at will, without changing its temperature setting. As a result, people who shower can easily shut off the water jet during times when it is not needed, resulting in great savings in water and heat.
- the adjustable shower head comprising a central fixed core traversed by the stream of water and relative to which can move a mobile peripheral assembly of which the grid is integral, is remarkable in that, at inside said central fixed core, a valve is arranged, the position of the head of which relative to its seat is controlled by the cooperation of the end of the valve stem with said grid.
- said central fixed core has two bores separated by a shoulder serving as a valve seat, the stem of said valve passing through said bores to the vicinity of the grid.
- a sliding guide of the valve stem is provided inside said central fixed core.
- the mobile peripheral assembly may include a nut screwing onto the central fixed core and a skirt of larger diameter at the end of which said grid is screwed.
- an operating and decorative crown can surround said peripheral assembly and be pressed between a rim of the grid and a nut screwing onto said nut of this peripheral assembly.
- the fixed core is extended, in the direction of the grid, by a sleeve whose edge directed towards the latter is set back relative to the end of the valve stem, when the head of the latter rests on its seat.
- the water jet is wide and soft.
- the valve is lifted by the action of the grid and the edge of the sleeve is also supported on said grid, the water jet is concentrated and more violent. Note that when the shower head is closed, you can only go to the opening with a violent jet, after having passed through a gentle jet. Thus, any unpleasant surprise is avoided for the user.
- Figure 1 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a shower head according to the invention, in which the various members occupy a position blocking the spraying of water.
- Figure 2 is a section corresponding to Figure 1, the different bodies occupy a position allowing the projection of a large jet of water.
- Figure 3 is a section corresponding to Figures 1 and 2, the various bodies occupying a position allowing the projection of a narrow jet of water.
- the shower head according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, comprises a central cylindrical body 1 intended to be fixed to a support, for example to a handle 2, thanks to an internal thread 3, provided in the wall of a bore 4 machined in the opposite end of said support.
- the central cylindrical body 1 is drilled axially over its entire length and, for this purpose, the first end bore 4 is extended by an intermediate bore of smaller diameter 5 and by a second end bore of large diameter 6.
- the difference in diameter between the bores 4 and 5 allows the realization of a shoulder 7 between them, while the diameter of the bore 6 is such that the cylindrical body 1 is reduced to a simple sleeve 8.
- a valve 9 Inside of the cylindrical body 1 is arranged a valve 9, the head 10 of which can rest on the shoulder 7 which serves as its seat and whose rod 11, which passes through the bores 5 and 6, has a length such that when the head 10 rests on its seat 7, the end 12 of said rod projects slightly outside, relative to the free end edge 13 of the sleeve 8.
- a disc 14 pierced with peripheral holes 15 and a central hole 16 freely traversed by the rod 11. The disc is for example held by force in the bore 6 and it serves as sliding guide to the rod 11.
- the central cylindrical body 1 On its outer wall, the central cylindrical body 1 has a thread 17 through which a peripheral ring 18 can be screwed and unscrewed, which can thus slide along said cylindrical body, a seal 19 ensuring the seal between the latter and the ring 18.
- the ring 18 On the side of the free edge 13, the ring 18 is extended by a skirt 20 of diameter greater than that of the sleeve 8. At the free end of the skirt 20 is provided a thread 21 through which can be attached a removable grid 22, of large diameter and pierced with holes 23. The seal between the skirt 20 and the grid 22 is provided by a seal 24.
- peripheral ring 18 and its skirt 20 are surrounded by an operating and decorative crown 25, pressed between a flange 26 of the grid 22 and a nut 27 screwed onto the ring 18.
- the structure of the shower head according to the invention allows the disassembly of the grid 22 for cleaning and / or descaling. For this purpose, it suffices to unscrew the nut 27, to disengage the crown 25 and to be able to easily unscrew the grid 22 from the skirt 20.
- the end 12 of the valve stem 11 is separated from the grid 22 by an empty space.
- the valve head 10 can therefore freely rest on its seat and the stream of water (symbolized by the arrows 28) cannot cross the barrier 10, 7. The pressure of the stream of water on the head 10 seals this level.
- the shower head according to the invention by simple screwing and unscrewing of the accessible part of said head, it is possible to obtain three different and successive states, namely stopping the projection, a wide projection and soft and a narrow and more violent projection.
- the closure of the shower head by means of the valve should not be absolute, that is to say have a total seal, so that the user is not tempted to use the head like a real shut-off valve, which would maintain the water pressure in the flexible hose connecting the shower head to the mixer or mixer. It is therefore advantageous that there is not complete tightness at the valve so that after using the apple in the closed position, the user must use the stop valve (s) of the mixer or mixer.
