Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower with a rotating watering can and structured to deliver water jets having different shapes.
  • showers of this type are described, for example, by documents US-A-4,629,125 e DE-A-37 06,320. They are composed of a body delimiting a pipe, one end of which is connected to a pipe of , while its other end has an opening, a head for the selective flow of at least three different forms of water jets through as many concentric rows of holes located at the end respectively of a first annular passage, a second annular passage and a third annular passage provided in the head and intended to receive the water supplied by the opening of the body.
  • showers of the known type are all relatively complex, laborious and expensive, since they are composed of many component parts.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved shower, capable of delivering three different forms of water jets, which is formed from a limited number of parts that are easy to produce, quickly assembled and of high reliability.
  • the shower according to the invention conforms to the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the shower comprises a tubular body 10 defining a longitudinal pipe 11 which on one side is connected to a water supply pipe 12, while on the other side it has an opening 13 communicating with a head 14 for the flow controlled by several water jets according to arrows A, B and C respectively.
  • the shower head 14 is substantially composed of three concentric parts, that is to say: a distributor 15, a front diffuser 16 and an intermediate diverter 17.
  • the dispenser 15 is presented as an inverted glass with a peripheral notch 18 mating, by rotation, with the edge 13 ′ of the opening of the body 10 with the interposition of a gasket 19.
  • the distributor 15 has a transverse wall or bottom 20 provided with a central hole 20 ′ which receives, with the interposition of a gasket 21 ′, a guide pin 10 ′ secured to the body 10, at the center of the opening 13.
  • the transverse wall of the distributor 15 closes the opening 13, but it is provided with an eccentric hole 22 for the passage of water from the pipe 11 inside the head 14.
  • a plug 23 can be moved by turning the distributor 15.
  • the front diffuser 16 which in turn has the shape of a cup, mates, without being attached to it, with the side wall of the distributor 15 by means of its edge 16 ′ and with the interposition of a lining 24.
  • a hub 25 is placed in a central position on the bottom of the diffuser, which is crossed, on three concentric circles, by a first row of holes 26 for the formation of a first jet of water A, of a second row of holes 27 for the second water jet B and a third row of holes 28 for a third water jet C.
  • the central hub 25 is coaxial with the stud 10 ′ of the body 10 and a clamping screw 29 to be screwed in the stud is used to block the diffuser 16 and also leaving the intermediate deflector 17.
  • the transverse wall of this dermier is parallel to the bottom of the distributor 15 and its central part 17 ′ is fixed to the hub 25 by means of a conical coupling 30 and inserted into the distributor 15. Starting from the three parts 15, 16 and 17 are coupled to the package and connected to the body 10 by means of the single screw 29.
  • the intermediate deflector 17 has two outer and inner concentric walls 33, 34 which mate with one another and in a sealed manner to the base wall of the front diffuser and which are parallel, on one side, to the peripheral wall of the distributor. turning 15 and on the other side, to the central hub 25.
  • the outer wall 33 defines, with the distributor, a first annular passage 36 communicating, above, directly with the space 31 of distribution and below with the first row of holes 26 of the diffuser.
  • the hole 37 ′ is provided with a sealing ring 37 ⁇ .
  • the inner wall 34 defines, with the central hub 25, a communicating chamber 38, superiorly, with a hole 38 ′ drilled in the transverse wall of the deflector in correspondence with the projection 32 and, inferiorly, with the third row of holes 28 of the diffuser.
  • the inlet of the hole 38 ′ is provided with a sealing ring 38 ⁇ and in the chamber 38 a finned rotor or turbine 39 - known as such - acts as a rotary valve.
  • the distributor 15 is turned to the position of which in FIGS. 5 and 6, while the hole 38 ′ for entering the chamber 38 with rotor or turbine 39 is still closed, the distribution hole 22 of the distributor 15 is aligned with the hole 37 ′ at the entrance to the second passage 37. Consequently, the water passes through the second row of holes 27 of the diffuser 16 with an aerated or foaming jet B, because the flow of water tends to suck l through the holes 26 and the first passage 36 (arrow D) and to mix with this air.
