Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connection device for a shower system.
  • shower systems comprising a wall support for a height-adjustable shower head and a water supply device for said shower head.
  • This supply device can be a simple tap, or even a mixer, a mixer, etc.
  • the wall support generally consists of a vertical bar, which is fixed to a wall and on which a slide can slide. 'be fixed in position along said bar.
  • the shower head can be made integral, generally in a removable manner, with said slide and is connected to the supply device by a flexible hose.
  • the present invention relates to a shower system in which the height adjustment of the shower head is automatic.
  • a system of this kind is already known from patent specification FR-A-1,087,901.
  • a connection device for a shower system comprising a wall support for a height-adjustable shower head and a device for supplying water to said shower head, said wall support being constituted by a cylindrical-piston assembly of which one element is fixed and the other is capable of moving vertically and a multi-way valve being interposed between said water supply device and the cylinder-piston assembly to allow either to admit water in said assembly, either to close it after admitting water therein, or else to put said cylinder-piston assembly in communication with a purge after admitting water therein, said device connection forming a construction unit, characterized in that said construction unit contains the multi-way valve (13, 20) and has a first orifice (9) connectable to the outlet (10) of the supply device (3) , a second orifice (11) connectable to the shower head (7), a third orifice (15) connectable to the administration of the cylinder-piston assembly and a fourth orifice (16) serving as a bleed
  • the rise of the movable element of the cylinder-piston assembly is independent of the water pressure upstream of the supply device and depends only on the control of said flow rate, which is that of the source d '' supply (mixer, mixer, tap, etc ).
  • the first and the second orifices are connected directly to each other by a conduit, while, between this conduit and the third and fourth orifices, a three-way valve is provided allowing either the communication between said conduit and the third orifice with obturation of the fourth orifice, or the obturation of the third and fourth orifices, as well as the connection between these and said conduit, that is to say the communication between the third and fourth orifices with closure of the connection between said conduit and said third and fourth orifices.
  • the shower system according to the invention shown in FIG. 1, comprises a cylinder 1-piston 2 assembly connected to a known mixer tap 3 by means of a device 4 according to the invention.
  • the cylinder 1 is connected to a wall 5 by means of fixing lugs 6.
  • a shower pump 7 capable to be supplied with water via a flexible pipe 8 connected to the device 4 according to the invention.
  • FIGS 2 to 7 illustrate in section the structure and operation of the system according to the invention.
  • the device 4 has an inlet 9, intended to be connected directly to the outlet 10 of the mixer 3.
  • the device 4 consists of a block, for example metallic, in which various conduits and orifices are machined.
  • the inlet 9 is connected to an outlet 11 directly connected to the flexible pipe 8, that is to say supplying the shower head 7.
  • the orifices 9 and 11 are connected to each other by a conduit curve 12.
  • a three-way valve is mounted, the plug 13 of which is controlled in rotation by a control member 14.
  • the plug 13 is interposed between the conduit 12 and two outlet orifices 15 and 16.
  • the orifice 15 opens into the cylinder 1 opposite the piston 17 linked to the rod 2.
  • the orifice 16 is a purge orifice and the water capable of passing through it falls, for example by means of a special nozzle (not shown), in the shower tray (also not shown) arranged under the system according to the invention.
  • the plug 13 is crossed by two conduits 18- and 19 angularly arranged.
  • the conduit 18 connects the conduit 12 to the orifice 15, so that water is admitted into the cylinder 1 and pushes the piston 17, and therefore the rod 2 and the shower head 7.
  • the shower head 7 is thus raised.
  • the drain hole 16 is closed, while water is supplied to the shower head 7 through the orifice. 9, the conduit 12, the orifice 11 and the flexible pipe 8.
  • the plug blocks the communication between the duct 12 and the orifices 15 and 16.
  • the piston 17 remains in the last position corresponding to the rotation of the plug 13 between FIGS. 2 and 5 on the one hand and 3 and 6 on the other hand, the orifice 11 being immediately and separately always supplied, as soon as the water supply source is in the "shower" position.
  • conduits 18 and 19 connect the orifices 15 and 16, so that the water stored in the cylinder 1 can escape through the drain.
  • the piston 17 and its rod therefore descend towards the device 4, since alo .
  • the valve 13 closes the connection to the conduit 12.
  • the system according to the invention allows the height adjustment of the shower head, the ascent, descent and the position of use being ensured by the flow supplying the shower head.
  • the shower is therefore always supplied and usable regardless of the position of the system.
  • the plug 13 in the form of a spherical rotor.
  • the three-way valve according to the invention can include a plug of any other shape.
  • the plug is constituted by a sphere 20.
  • these embodiments are not limiting and one could as well provide a conical plug, or else still discs of any material including ceramic materials and, in general, any system of multi-way valves with simultaneous or successive sealing of the supply and purge passages.
  • the entire system according to the invention can be made of any material and for example of synthetic material, anodized aluminum, brass, etc. It can thus be seen that, in the device according to the invention, all the maneuvers of up and down are controlled independently of the water inlet to the shower head, which is continuously supplied as soon as the water supply source is in the "shower" position, the stop of the rise and the descent can be adjusted to all desired heights of use.
