Abstract
Description
La présente invention est essentiellement destinée au domaine sanitaire. Elle concerne plus particulièrement un ensemble de douche mobile à flexible autorétractable et à douchette multipositionnement.The present invention is essentially intended for the sanitary field. It relates more particularly to a mobile shower assembly with self-retracting hose and multi-position hand shower.
Les ensembles de douche sont traditionnellement constitués :
- a) d'un flexible métallique obtenu par enroulement, dans lequel passe un tuyau souple, ou encore d'un flexible en matière plastique tressée ou non, de forme linéaire et d'une longueur variable entre 1,25 m et 2 m. Ce flexible, au repos, pend dans le sanitaire, s'encrassant au contact de l'eau utilisée ; parfois, le flexible s'escamote au travers d'une goulotte nécessitant un perçage, s'encrasse alors dans un volume inaccessible au nettoyage. Ce perçage est souvent à l'origine d'infiltration d'eau sous la baignoire. Par ailleurs, ces inconvénients empêchent d'envisager un flexible plus long, souvent souhaitable pour une bonne utilisation de la douchette, ce qui éviterait de détériorer, en outre, par extension, un flexible trop court ;
- b) d'une douchette fixée à une extrémité du flexible ;
- c) de supports de douchette fixés au mur ou sur la robinetterie, fixes ou à rotule, ou réglables en hauteur sur glissière.
- a) a metallic hose obtained by winding, through which a flexible pipe passes, or else a flexible plastic hose, braided or not, of linear shape and of a variable length between 1.25 m and 2 m. This hose, at rest, hangs in the sanitary, clogging up in contact with the water used; sometimes the hose retracts through a chute requiring drilling, then becomes clogged in a volume inaccessible to cleaning. This piercing is often the source of water infiltration under the bathtub. Furthermore, these drawbacks make it impossible to envisage a longer hose, which is often desirable for good use of the spray head, which would avoid damaging, by extension, a hose that is too short;
- b) a hand shower attached to one end of the hose;
- c) shower holder fixed to the wall or to the taps, fixed or swivel, or adjustable in height on a slide.
Ces dispositifs, dans la majorité des cas, nécessitent le percement du revêtement mural. Leur achat et leur pose sont onéreux ; de plus, comme il n'est pas envisageable de poser ces dispositifs en de multiples endroits, pour une utilisation de confort, l'utilisateur doit donc tenir sa douchette à la main ou s'en servir à partir du seul point fixe du support.These devices, in most cases, require the drilling of the wall covering. Their purchase and installation are expensive; moreover, since it is not conceivable to install these devices in de multiple locations, for comfort use, the user must therefore hold his hand shower or use it from the single fixed point of the support.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients.The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks.
L'ensemble est constitué d'éléments séparés assemblés entre eux.The set consists of separate elements assembled together.
L'invention a pour objet un dispositif de douche à flexible et douchette, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un support, un tuyau flexible de section ronde ou profilée en spires constituant une forme de ressort à boudin, d'une douchette, formant avec le support un boîtier renfermant le flexible rétracté.The subject of the invention is a shower device with a hose and a hand shower, characterized in that it comprises a support, a flexible pipe of round section or profiled in turns constituting a form of coil spring, of a hand shower, forming with the support a housing containing the retracted hose.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront mieux à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, faite en relation avec les dessins annexés, sur lesquels :
- les figures 1 et 2 représentent l'utilisation du support ou du flexible dans un exemple de réalisation ;
- la figure 3 représente le dispositif selon une autre réalisation de l'invention ;
- la figure 4 représente le support en montage sur les écrous de la robinetterie ; et,
- la figure 5 est une vue en coupe de deux spires contigues d'un exemple de tube.
- Figures 1 and 2 show the use of the support or the hose in an exemplary embodiment;
- Figure 3 shows the device according to another embodiment of the invention;
- Figure 4 shows the support for mounting on the nuts of the valve; and,
- Figure 5 is a sectional view of two contiguous turns of an example of a tube.
L'ensemble comprend un support 1 présentant un logement hémicylindrique dans -ou sur lequel- viennent se ranger automatiquement, horizontalement ou verticalement, par simple effet de ressort, les spires du flexible 2 fabriqué sous la forme d'un ressort à boudin sur lequel repose la douchette 3 cachant totalement ou partiellement le flexible. La douchette présente à cet effet de préférence au moins une surface concave en forme de secteur cylindrique.The assembly includes a support 1 having a semi-cylindrical housing in -or on which- are automatically stored, horizontally or vertically, by simple spring effect, the turns of the
Le multipositionnement de la douchette en position d'utilisation est obtenu grâce à une ventouse 4. Ainsi, on appliquera cette douchette où on le désire. Un support indépendant de la douchette pourra aussi comporter une telle ventouse 8. Selon une utilisation préférentielle, la ventouse comportera un système de tension de sa partie centrale ayant pour effet d'augmenter la dépression sous la ventouse, ou d'un système à dépression du type piston. De tels systèmes sont bien connus.The multipositioning of the shower in the use position is obtained by means of a
Sur la figure 3, le support 1, qui reçoit le flexible autorétractable, comporte une ventouse 8 permettant sa fixation murale à proximité de la robinetterie.In FIG. 3, the support 1, which receives the self-retracting hose, comprises a
Selon une autre réalisation, représentée sur la figure 4, le support sera fixé sur la robinetterie, suivant une forme 5 venant soit sur un seul, soit sur les deux écrous de raccordement de la robinetterie 6.According to another embodiment, shown in FIG. 4, the support will be fixed to the fitting, in a form 5 coming either on a single one, or on the two connection nuts of the fitting 6.
Le blocage se fera, soit par vis 7, soit par clipsage de la forme 5 sur l'écrou 6.The blocking will be done either by screws 7 or by clipping of the form 5 onto the nut 6.
Le tube flexible utilisé est réalisé en matière plastique de section ronde ou profilée, afin d'obtenir un effet esthétique, les spires formées par le tube pourront être de différentes formes.The flexible tube used is made of plastic of round or profiled section, in order to obtain an aesthetic effect, the turns formed by the tube may be of different shapes.
Selon une forme préférentielle de réalisation, la section du tube 21 employé comportera un système mâle-femelle d'encastrement des spires, les rendant solidaires par une simple pression (figure 5), et peut alors constituer tout ou partie du support. Le tube flexible utilisé, métallique ou non, peut bien entendu revêtir différentes présentations de couleurs.According to a preferred embodiment, the section of the
Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples qui viennent d'être décrits ; elle est, au contraire, susceptible de modifications et de variantes qui apparaîtront à l'homme de l'art.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described; on the contrary, it is subject to modifications and variants which will appear to those skilled in the art.
