Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Betätigungsgriff für eine Einrichtung zum Umschalten zwischen zwei Strahlaustrittsarten bei Handbrausen o.dgl.The invention relates to an actuating handle for a device for switching between two types of jet outlet in hand showers or the like.

Eine derartige Einrichtung bei einer Handbrause ist aus der DE-PS 23 24 077 bekannt. Bei dieser Einrichtung ist zum Umschalten ein Schiebeschalter vorgesehen, bei dem eine selbsttätige Rückstellung in einen bevorzugten Wasserauslauf nicht möglich ist. Außerdem benötigt die Einrichtung relativ viel Platz und ist parallel zum Handgriff der Handbrause anzuordnen.Such a device in a hand shower is known from DE-PS 23 24 077. In this device, a slide switch is provided for switching, in which an automatic reset to a preferred water outlet is not possible. In addition, the device requires a relatively large amount of space and must be arranged parallel to the handle of the hand shower.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen kostengünstig herstellbaren Handgriff für die Betätigung eines Umschaltventils für Brausen zu schaffen, der eine leichte Handhabung der Umstellung ermöglicht und darüber hinaus den hygienischen und ästhetischen Anforderungen im Sanitärbereich gerecht wird.The invention has for its object to provide an inexpensive to handle for actuating a switch valve for showers, which allows easy handling of the changeover and also meets the hygienic and aesthetic requirements in the sanitary area.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 4 angegeben.This object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. Further refinements of the invention are specified in claims 2 to 4.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß der erfindungsgemäße Betätigungsgriff in Form eines um den Brausekopf herumgeführten Bügels gebildet ist, wobei dieser mit einer Hand in jede Stellposition des Umschaltventils gebracht werden kann. Darüber hinaus wird es mit dem Betätigungsgriff ermöglicht, auch Umschaltventile, die bei Absperrung des Wasserzuflusses automatisch in eine bevorzugte Ausflußstellung zurückkehren, von Hand in jede Stellposition bei austretendem Wasser zu schalten.The advantages that can be achieved with the invention consist in particular in that the actuating handle according to the invention is in the form of a bracket which is guided around the shower head, which can be brought into any position of the changeover valve with one hand. In addition, the actuating handle enables switching valves, which automatically return to a preferred outflow position when the water supply is shut off, to be switched manually into any position when the water escapes.

Vorteilhaft kann der als Bügel ausgebildete Betätigungsgriff in einer im Brausekopf ausgebildeten Nute eingelassen werden, wodurch eine harmonische Integration des Betätigungsgriffs in den Brausekopf erreicht wird. Zweckmäßig wird die Nute und der Betätigungsgriff so bemessen, daß etwa eingedrungenes Wasser oder Schmutzpartikel leicht aus der Nute ausgeschwemmt werden können. Schließlich kann der als ringförmiger Bügel ausgebildete Betätigungsgriff an der Außenfläche eine konvexe Wölbung aufweisen, so daß besonders günstige ergonomische Bedienungseigenschaften erzielt werden können.The actuating handle designed as a bracket can advantageously be embedded in a groove formed in the shower head, as a result of which a harmonious integration of the actuating handle into the shower head is achieved. The groove and the actuating handle are expediently dimensioned such that water or dirt particles which have penetrated can be easily washed out of the groove. Finally, the actuating handle, which is designed as an annular bracket, can have a convex curvature on the outer surface, so that particularly favorable ergonomic operating properties can be achieved.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher erläutert. Es zeigt

  • Figur 1 eine Handbrause in Seitenansicht, teilweise geschnitten;
  • Figur 2 die Handbrause gemäß Figur 1in der Schnittebene II;
  • Figur 3 die Handbrause gemäß Figur 1 in Draufsicht.
An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is explained in more detail below. It shows
  • Figure 1 shows a hand shower in side view, partially cut;
  • Figure 2 shows the hand shower according to Figure 1 in the sectional plane II;
  • Figure 3 shows the hand shower according to Figure 1 in plan view.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Handbrause besteht aus einem Handgriff 2 und einem Brausekopf 1. An dem Handgriff 2 kann mittels einer Schnellkupplung 21 ein in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellter Schlauch für die Wasserzuführung angeschlossen werden.The hand shower shown in the drawing consists of a handle 2 and a shower head 1. A hose (not shown in the drawing) for the water supply can be connected to the handle 2 by means of a quick coupling 21.

In einer im Mantelbereich des Brausekopfes 1 eingelassenen Nute 11 ist ein ringförmig ausgebildeter Bügel 3 eingefügt. Der Bügel 3 ist mit einer Spindel 4 mittels Schnappverbindung fest verbunden. Die Spindel 4 und somit der Bügel 3 wird von Federn in einer neutralen Mittelposition gehalten, wobei der Wasserausfluß in der bevorzugten Ausflußrichtung über einen Wasserstrahlbelüfter 12 abgegeben wird. Wird nun eine Umschaltung erwünscht, so genügt ein Druck in Achsrichtung der Spindel 4 auf den Bügel 3 und ein Ventilkegel 41 versperrt den Abfluß in den Wasserstrahlbelüfter 12 und gibt den Weg frei für einen Brausestrahlbildner 13. Wird nunmehr der Bügel 3 losgelassen, so kehrt er durch die Federkraft in seine neutrale Mittelposition zurück, während der Ventilkegel durch den anstehenden Wasserdruck in der neu eingenommenen Position gehalten wird. Erst wenn der Wasserzufluß abgestellt wird, wird der Ventilkegel 41 durch eine Rückstellfeder in seine bevorzugte Position zurückgeführt, so daß dann wiederum der Ausfluß über den Wasserstrahlbelüfter 12 freigegeben wird. Soll nun während des Betriebs eine erneute Umstellung von dem Brausestrahlbildner 13 auf den Wasserstrahlbelüfter 12 ohne Absperren des Wasserzuflusses erfolgen, so kann mit Hilfe des ringförmigen Bügels der Ventilkegel 41 über die Spindel 4 in seine bevorzugte Stellung gegen den anstehenden Wasserdruck zurückgezogen werden. Um eine besonders gute Griffigkeit und Stellmöglichkeit zu erzielen, ist der Bügel 3 an seiner Außenfläche mit einer Wölbung 31 versehen, wobei die Wölbung etwa einen Radius von 0,5 des Durchmessers des Brausekopfes aufweist. Zur sicheren Führung des Bügels 3 sind an der Mantelfläche Führungsrippen 32 angeformt, die an entsprechend ausgebildeten Flächen des Brausekopfes 1 gleitend anliegen.A ring-shaped bracket 3 is inserted in a groove 11 embedded in the jacket area of the shower head 1. The bracket 3 is firmly connected to a spindle 4 by means of a snap connection. The spindle 4 and thus the bracket 3 is held in a neutral central position by springs, the water outflow being emitted in the preferred outflow direction via a water jet aerator 12. If a changeover is now desired, a pressure in the axial direction of the spindle 4 on the bracket 3 and a valve cone 41 block the outflow into the water jet aerator 12 and clear the way for a shower jet generator 13. If the bracket 3 is now released, it returns by the spring force back to its neutral middle position, while the valve cone is held in the newly assumed position by the water pressure. Only when the water inflow is turned off, the valve cone 41 is returned to its preferred position by a return spring, so that the outflow via the water jet aerator 12 is then released again. If, during operation, a further changeover from the shower jet generator 13 to the water jet aerator 12 is carried out without shutting off the water supply, the valve cone 41 can be retracted into its preferred position against the water pressure present via the spindle 4 by means of the annular bracket. In order to achieve a particularly good grip and possibility of adjustment, the bracket 3 is provided on its outer surface with a curvature 31, the curvature having a radius of approximately 0.5 of the diameter of the shower head. For safe guidance of the bracket 3, guide ribs 32 are integrally formed on the lateral surface, which slide against correspondingly designed surfaces of the shower head 1.
