Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a water and / or air injection nozzle for a bathtub of a balneotherapy installation, comprising a hollow body having an inlet orifice intended to be connected to a supply pipe. water and / or air under pressure outside a wall of the bathtub and an outlet opening opening through a threaded hole on one of its faces, a threaded plug intended to be screwed into the threaded hole of the outlet of the hollow body and having at least one through channel intended to open into the interior of the bathtub, and means for fixing the hollow body to the wall of the bathtub and for sealing this fixing.
  • a nozzle of this type which comprises a hollow body constituting a blind nut, the threaded hole of the outlet orifice of which opens onto a face intended to be pressed against a wall of the bathtub, outside and in look of a hole thereof, and a plug constituting a support head screw whose threaded rod is intended to be threaded into the hole in question, from inside the bathtub, and screwed into the threaded hole of the hollow body, the head of this screw being intended to come to bear on said wall when the plug is screwed into the hollow body.
  • the hollow body of this nozzle is fixed to the wall of the bath by taking and tightening this wall between the head of the screw forming the plug and the nut forming the hollow body.
  • the external face of the plug reachable by the interior of the bathtub has in its center a socket consisting of a hexagonal hole for engaging a hexagonal shank.
  • Firm tightening is indeed essential here to ensure sealing by sufficient crushing of the two annular seals on either side of the wall of the bathtub.
  • the stopper of the nozzle thus formed comprises one or more through channels constituted by axial cylindrical holes opening into an internal recess communicating with the outlet orifice of the hollow body, the number, the distribution and the diameter of these holes being established as a function of the various therapeutic effects sought.
  • This known nozzle is suitable for a bathtub intended for a well-defined therapeutic effect which does not require frequent dismantling, which is the case for installations of balneotherapy institutes comprising several baths each adapted to a particular therapeutic effect different from the others.
  • the body of the nozzle is no longer retained against the wall of the bathtub after unscrewing the plug and falling, and this risks causing the need for concomitant disassembly of the main installation of the bathtub, which is the case in particular during the disassembly of the nozzles from the bottom thereof.
  • the nozzle according to the invention is characterized in that the hollow body constitutes a support head screw whose rod is intended to pass through a the wall of the bathtub and the head of which is intended to be pressed against this wall inside the bathtub, the threaded hole of its outlet orifice opening onto the external face of this head, in that this hollow body is fixed to the wall of the bathtub, after threading its rod into the hole in this wall, by means of a nut screwed onto said rod, and in that the tightness of this fixing is obtained by means of a single annular seal placed between the head of the hollow body and the wall of the bath, inside térieur thereof, and in that the plug is screwed into the bearing head of the screw constituting the hollow body.
  • the means for fixing the hollow body of the nozzle to the wall of the bath and the tightness of this fixing are completely independent of the plug which can thus be unscrewed and replaced by another from inside the bath, as often as necessary, and without having to intervene on the fixing of the hollow body.
  • FIG. 1 clearly shows the hollow body 1 in the form of a nut of the known nozzle already mentioned with its inlet orifice 2 intended to be connected in the usual way to a water and / or air supply pipe under pressure, not shown, and its threaded outlet orifice 3 opening onto a face 4 intended to be supported on the external face of a wall 5 of a bathtub, opposite a hole 6 thereof.
  • the threaded plug 7 of this known nozzle constitutes a support head screw 8, the threaded rod 9 of which is intended to be threaded into the hole 6 of the wall 5, from inside the bath, and screwed into the threaded hole 3 of the hollow body 1, while the head 8 is intended to bear against this wall 5 when the plug 7 is screwed into the hollow body 1.
  • the tightness of the fixing obtained by tightening the wall 5 between the head 8 of the plug 7 and the face 4 of the hollow body 1 is ensured by two annular seals 10 and 11.
  • the first annular seal 10, of large rectangular section, is disposed between the hollow body 1 and the wall 5 to avoid any risk of leakage of water and / or pressurized air between these two elements.
  • the second annular seal 11, of the "o-ring" type, is disposed between the head 8 of the plug 7 and the inner face of the wall 5 of the bathtub.
  • Figure 2 highlights the hexagonal hole 12 of the outer face of the plug 7 intended to allow firm tightening using a hexagonal wrench, however that the hollow body 1 visible in FIG. 1 has on its periphery a cylindrical hole 13 intended to allow its retention by a claw wrench.
  • the water and / or pressurized air injection channels of the plug 1 are here constituted by cylindrical holes 14 opening into a recess 15, the number and the diameter of these holes obviously being able to vary according to the desired therapeutic effect. .
  • FIG. 1 shows that after unscrewing this plug 7, nothing can prevent the hollow body 1 from falling.
  • the embodiment of the nozzle according to the invention shown in FIG. 3 overcomes this drawback in a simple manner and in itself brings still other advantages.
  • the hollow body 16 of this nozzle constitutes a support head screw 17 whose rod 20, 21 is intended to be passed through a hole 18 of a wall 19 of a bathtub and whose head 17 is intended to be pressed against this wall 19 inside the bathtub.
  • the rod 20, 21 of the hollow body 16 is composed of a threaded upper part 20 located under its head 17 and of an end part 21 having on its side wall an inlet orifice 22 intended to be connected in the usual way to a pipe, not shown, for supplying water and / or air under pressure.
  • the hollow body 16 comprises an outlet orifice constituted by a threaded axial hole 23 opening onto the outer face 24 of its head 17 and communicating with the inlet orifice 22 by means of a recess 25 and a conduit 26.
  • the hollow body 16 thus formed is intended to be fixed to the wall 19 of the bathtub, after threading its rod 20, 21 into the hole 18 of this wall, by means of a nut 27 screwed onto the threaded part 20 of this rod.
  • the threaded plug 29 of the nozzle according to the invention which is intended to be screwed into the threaded outlet orifice 23 of the hollow body, consists of a threaded part proper 30 extended on its underside by a coaxial cylindrical boss 31, of smaller diameter.
  • This boss 31 is intended, at the end of the screwing stop of the threaded plug 29 in the orifice 23 of the hollow body 16, to bear against the bottom 32 of the recess 25 of the latter, while the upper face 33 of this plug comes level off the upper face 24 of said hollow body.
  • the through channels for injecting water and / or air under pressure of the threaded plug 29 can very simply be constituted, as is clear from FIG. 4, by grooves 34 made in the thread of its threaded portion 30, the depth of these grooves 34 being greater than the height of said thread and their number and their section can obviously vary according to the desired therapeutic effect.
  • the design of the channels in the form of grooves 34 of the thread of the plug 29 is not limiting and these channels can be provided in the form of holes, like the holes 14 of the known nozzle.
  • the threaded plug may include a support flange projecting from its upper face, in place of the boss 31.
  • the exemplary embodiment carries in itself additional advantages, enabled by its basic design.
  • the channels in the form of grooves 34 of the plug 29 of the nozzle according to the invention in addition to their simplicity of execution, have the advantage of increasing the ease of their cleaning, once the plug has been removed.
  • these channels 34 cause a fine air-water emulsion by the effect of the passage of pressurized fluid over the thread 23 over their entire length, and this fine type emulsion breaks the noise inherent in this kind of system. injection nozzle.
  • the nozzle according to the invention is applicable not only to the walls of a bathtub but also to any equivalent such as for example a partial or total coating of a bathtub or a swimming pool.
