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, which can move longitudinally and from which the projection grid is in solidarity, to obtain either a broad and soft spray for a normal shower, or a concentrated and more violent spray, for example for massage.
  • the fixed core is extended in the direction of the grid by a bushing capable of coming into contact with said grid.
  • patent FR-A-1 137 090 describes a shower head comprising an incorporated water stop device.
  • the shower head has a central fixed core through which the stream of water passes and relative to which can move a mobile peripheral assembly of which the grid is integral.
  • a valve is arranged inside the central core and the position of its head is controlled by the cooperation of the end of its stem with the bottom of the socket.
  • the shower heads described in patent FR-A-1,137,090 therefore allow the water jet to be stopped, but not its adjustment.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of these known shower heads. 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 by rapr rt which can move a rotary peripheral assembly which can move longitudinally and from which the outlet grid of water is integral, said fixed core being extended in the direction of the grid by a socket capable of coming into contact with said grid to obtain either a wide jet or a concentrated jet, is remarkable in that, inside said fixed core central, is arranged a valve whose position of the head relative to its seat is controlled by the cooperation of the end of the valve stem with said grid and in that the edge of the sleeve directed towards the grid is recessed relative to the end of the valve stem when the valve head rests on its seat.
  • 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.
  • an openwork disc is provided inside said central fixed core for sliding guide of the valve stem.
  • the mobile peripheral assembly may include a ring 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 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, by means of an internal thread 3, provided in the wall d 'a bore 4 machined in the end opposite 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 thanks to which a removable grid 22 can be attached, of large diameter and pierced with holes 23. The seal between the skirt 20 and the grid 22 is ensured 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 simply screwing and unscrewing 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 no total tightness at the level of the valve so that after use of the apple in the closed position, the user must use the stop valve (s) of the mixer or the mixer tap.
