Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Handbrause mit den im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a hand shower with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Einrichtung ist aus der FR-A-2 324 374 bekannt. Als Umschaltventil ist hierbei ein Drehschieber vorgesehen. Die Betätigung erfolgt durch ein Verschwenken eines im Bereich der Wasseraustrittsöffnungen angeordneten Hebels. Für die Betätigung ist am äußeren Ende des Hebels eine entsprechend der Wandung des Brausekopfes bogenartig geformte, vorstehende Griffplatte ausgebildet. Eine selbsttätige Rückstellung in einen bevorzugten Wasserauslauf ist nicht vorgesehen.Such a device is known from FR-A-2 324 374. A rotary slide valve is provided as the changeover valve. It is actuated by pivoting a lever arranged in the area of the water outlet openings. For the actuation, a protruding handle plate is formed at the outer end of the lever in accordance with the wall of the shower head. An automatic return to a preferred water outlet is not provided.

Bei einer anderen Handbrauseneinrichtung ist zum Umschalten ein Schiebeschalter (DE-C-23 24 077) vorgesehen, bei dem ebenfalls 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. 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.In another hand shower device, a slide switch (DE-C-23 24 077) is provided for switching, in which an automatic return to a preferred water outlet is also 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. 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 und 3 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 and 3.

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. Der als Bügel ausgebildete Betätigungsgriff kann dabei in einer im Brausekopf ausgebildeten Nute eingelassen werden, wodurch eine harmonische Integration des Betätigungsgriffs in den Brausekopf erreicht wird. 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. The actuating handle designed as a bracket can be embedded in a groove formed in the shower head, whereby a harmonious integration of the actuating handle into the shower head is achieved. 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.

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 groove and the actuating handle are expediently dimensioned such that water or dirt particles which have penetrated can easily be 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 1 in 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;
  • FIG. 2 the hand shower according to FIG. 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.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 switched off is the valve cone 41 returned to its preferred position by a return spring, so that the outflow is then released again via the water jet aerator 12. If, during operation, a further changeover from the shower jet generator 13 to the water jet aerator 12 takes place without the water supply being shut off, 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.

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.In order to achieve a particularly good grip and adjustability, the bracket 3 is provided on its outer surface with a curvature 31, the curvature having approximately a radius of 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.
