Description

L'invention concerne une douche avec arrosoir tournant et structurée pour débiter des jets d'eau ayant de formes différentes.The invention relates to a shower with a rotating watering can and structured to deliver water jets having different shapes.

En matière de douches, qu'elles soient à main, à téléphone, mobiles ou fixée à la paroi, on connaît déjà plusieures réalisations diverses et aussi du type réglable pour obtenir plusieures formes de jet d'eau, à pluie, très doux et aéré par des bulles d'air et bien puissant et pulsé pour un massage du corps.Pour chaque forme du jet il y a un passage divers dans le corps de l'arrosoir et en particulier le jet pulsé est obtenu au moyen d'un rotor à ailettes incorporé dans la douche qui sert de valve rotative.In terms of showers, whether hand, telephone, mobile or fixed to the wall, we already know several different embodiments and also of the adjustable type to obtain several forms of water jet, rain, very soft and airy by air bubbles and very powerful and pulsed for a massage of the body. For each form of the jet there is a various passage in the body of the watering can and in particular the pulsed jet is obtained by means of a rotor with fins incorporated in the shower which serves as a rotary valve.

Des douches de ce type sont décrites, par exemple, par les documents US-A- 4 629 125 e DE-A-37 06 320. Elles sont composée d'un corps délimitant une conduite, dont une extrémité est reliée à une canalisation d'eau, tandis que son autre extrémité présente une ouverture, d'une tête pour le débit sélectif d'au moins trois formes différentes de jets d'eau à travers autant de rangs concentriques de trous situés à l'extrémité respectivement d'un premier passage annulaire, d'un second passage annulaire et d'un troisième passage annulaire prévus dans la tête et destinés à recevoir l'eau alimentée par l'ouverture du corps.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.

En tout cas, les douches du type connu sont toutes relativement complexes, laborieuses et coûteuses, attendu qu'elles sont composées de beaucoup de pièces composantes.In any case, showers of the known type are all relatively complex, laborious and expensive, since they are composed of many component parts.

Par contre, le but de l'invention est de proposer une douche perfectionnée, capable de débiter trois formes différentes de jets d'eau, qui soit formée d'un nombre limité de pièces faciles à réaliser, rapidement assemblées et de haute fiabilité.On the other hand, 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.

La douche comprend un corps tubulaire 10 délimitant une conduite longitunale 11 qui d'un côte est relié à un tuyau 12 d'alimentation d'eau, tandis que de l'autre côté elle a une ouverture 13 communicant avec une tête 14 pour le débit contrôlé de plusieurs jets d'eau selon les flêches A, B et C respectivement.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.

La tête 14 de la douche est substantiellement composée de trois pièces concentriques, c'est à dire: un distributeur 15, un diffuseur frontal 16 et un déviateur intermédiaire 17.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.

Le distributeur 15 se présente comme un verre renversé avec une encoche périphérique 18 s'accouplant, par rotation, avec le bord 13′ de l'ouverture du corps 10 avec interposition d'une garniture d'étanchéité 19. En outre, le distributeur 15 a une paroi transversale ou fond 20 muni d'un trou central 20′ qui reçoit, avec interposition d'une garniture 21′, un goujon de guidage 10′ solidaire au corps 10, au centre de l'ouverture 13. La paroi transversale du distributeur 15 ferme l'ouverture 13, mais elle est munie d'un trou excentrique 22 pour le passage de l'eau de la conduite 11 à l'intérieur de la tête 14. Sur la face inférieure de la paroi transversale 20 un bouchon 23 est déplaçable en tournant le distributeur 15.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. In addition, 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. On the underside of the transverse wall 20 a plug 23 can be moved by turning the distributor 15.

Le diffuseur frontal 16, ayant à son tour la forme d'une tasse, s'accouple, sans y être fixé, avec la paroi latérale du distributeur 15 au moyen de son bord 16′ et avec interposition d'une garniture 24. Un moyeu 25 est placé en position centrale sur le fond du diffuseur, qui est traversé, sur trois cercles concentriques, par un premier rang de trous 26 pour la formation d'un premier jet d'eau A, d'un seconde rang de trous 27 pour le deuxième jet d'eau B et un troisième rang de trous 28 pour un troisième jet d'eau C.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.

Le moyeu central 25 est coaxial au goujon 10′ du corps 10 et une vis de serrage 29 à visser dans le goujon sert à bloquer le diffuseur 16 et partant aussi le déviateur intermédiaire 17. La paroi tranversale de ce dermier est parallèle au fond du distributeur 15 et sa partie centrale 17′ est fixée sur le moyeu 25 au moyen d'un accouplement conique 30 et enfoncé dans le distributeur 15.Partant les trois pièces 15, 16 et 17 sont accouplées à paquet et reliées au corps 10 au moyen de la seule vis 29.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.

Sur la paroi tranversale du déviateur intermédiaire 17, autour de son relief central 17′ qui soutient le distributeur tournant 15, une partie de la surface est surbaissée et forme un espacement 31 avec la paroi du fond 20 du distributeur.La surface surbaissée susmentionnée se trouve au niveau du bouchon 23 du distributeur 15 et présente aussi une saillie excentrique 32 qui interrompe l'espace 31 et qui a une surface qui touche la face intérieur de la paroi du fond 20 du distributeur (v. Fig. 7).On the transverse wall of the intermediate deflector 17, around its central relief 17 ′ which supports the rotary distributor 15, part of the surface is lowered and forms a space 31 with the rear wall 20 of the distributor. The above-mentioned lowered surface is at the level of the plug 23 of the distributor 15 and also has an eccentric projection 32 which interrupts the space 31 and which has a surface which touches the inner face of the wall of the bottom 20 of the distributor (see FIG. 7).

Le deviateur intermédiaire 17 a deux parois concentriques extérieure et intérieure 33,34 qui s'accouplent à encastrement et d'une manière étanche à la paroi de base du diffuseur frontal et qui sont parallèles, d'un côté, à la paroi périphérique du distributeur tournant 15 et, de l'autre côté, au moyeu central 25. La paroi extérieure 33 délimite, avec le distributeur, un premier passage annulaire 36 communicant, supérieurement, directement avec l'espace 31 de distribution et inférieurement avec le premier rang de trous 26 du diffuseur. Entre les deux parois 33, 34 il y a un deuxième passage annulaire 37 communicant, supérieurement, avec l'espace de distribution 31 par un trou 37′ perçé dans la paroi transversale du diffuseur intermédiaire 17 et, inférieurement, avec le deuxième rang de trous 27 du diffuseur. Le trou 37′ est muni d'une bague d'étanchéité 37˝. Enfin, la paroi intérieure 34 délimite, avec le moyeu central 25, une chambre 38 communicant, supérieurement, avec un trou 38′ perçé dans la paroi tranversale du déviateur en correspondance à la saillie 32 et, inférieurement, avec le troisième rang de trous 28 du diffuseur. L'entrée du trou 38′ est munie d'une bague d'étanchéité 38˝ et dans la chambre 38 un rotor à ailettes ou turbine 39 - connu comme telle - agit comme une valve rotative.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. Between the two walls 33, 34 there is a second annular passage 37 communicating, superiorly, with the distribution space 31 by a hole 37 ′ drilled in the transverse wall of the intermediate diffuser 17 and, below, with the second row of holes 27 of the diffuser. The hole 37 ′ is provided with a sealing ring 37˝. Finally, 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.

Pratiquement, en tournant le distributeur 15 on peut choisir et modifier les jets d'eau débités. C'est à dire, avec le distributeur 15 dans la position montrée dans les Figures 3 e 4, on obtient un jet normal à pluie A sortant à travers les trous 26 du diffuseur frontal 16. En effet, dans cette position le bouchon 23 du distributeur tournant 15 appuye sur la garniture 37˝ en position de fermeture du trou 37′ du deuxième passage 37 du déviateur intermédiaire 17; le trou d'entrée 38 qui porte au rotor ou turbine 39 dans la chambre 38 est fermé lui aussi, sa garniture 38˝ appuyant sur la face intérieure du distributeur 15 et l'eau qui arrive à travers le trou 22 est obligée à passer dans l'espace 31 et après ça au premier passage 36 et partant aux trous 26 pour la formation d'un jet à pluie A.In practice, by turning the distributor 15, it is possible to choose and modify the jets of water delivered. That is, with the distributor 15 in the position shown in Figures 3 e 4, we obtain a normal rain spray A exiting through the holes 26 of the front diffuser 16. In fact, in this position the plug 23 of the rotary distributor 15 presses on the lining 37˝ in the closed position of the hole 37 ′ of the second passage 37 of the deflector intermediate 17; the inlet hole 38 which carries to the rotor or turbine 39 in the chamber 38 is also closed, its lining 38˝ pressing on the interior face of the distributor 15 and the water which arrives through the hole 22 is forced to pass into space 31 and after that at the first passage 36 and starting at the holes 26 for the formation of a rain jet A.

Si, par contre, le distributeur 15 est tourné sur la position dont aux Figures 5 et 6, pendant que le trou 38′ d'entrée à la chambre 38 avec rotor ou turbine 39 est encore fermé, le trou de distribution 22 du distributeur 15 est aligné au trou 37′ à l'entrée du deuxième passage 37. Partant, l'eau passe à travers le deuxième rang de trous 27 du diffuseur 16 avec un jet aéré ou écumant B, car le fluxe d'eau tend à aspirer l'air à travers les trous 26 et le premier passage 36 (flêche D) et à se mélanger avec cet air.If, on the other hand, 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.

Par contre, avec le distributeur tourné dans la position dont aux Figures 7 et 8, le trou 22 de distribution est en ligne et communicant seulement avec le trou 38′ d'alimentation de l'eau à la chambre 38 avec rotor ou turbine 39, tandis que les autres passages sont fermés. Alors le rotor ou la turbine va débitér un jet pulsé ou massant C à travers le troisième rang de trous 28 du diffuseur 16.On the other hand, with the distributor turned in the position of which in Figures 7 and 8, the hole 22 distribution is online and communicating only with the hole 38 ′ for supplying water to the chamber 38 with rotor or turbine 39, while the other passages are closed. Then the rotor or the turbine will deliver a pulsating or massaging jet C through the third row of holes 28 of the diffuser 16.

Enfin, avec le distributeur tournant 15 dans une quatrième position dont aux Figures 9 et 10, le trou 38′ d'alimentation de l'eau à la chambre 38 avec rotor ou turbine 39 étant fermé, le trou de distribution 22 va alimenter simultanément le premier passage 36 à travers l'espace 31 et le deuxième passage 37 à travers le trou 37′, dont une partie est laissée ouverte par le bouchon 23.Finally, with the rotary distributor 15 in a fourth position, of which in Figures 9 and 10, the hole 38 ′ for supplying water to the chamber 38 with rotor or turbine 39 being closed, the distribution hole 22 will simultaneously supply the first passage 36 through the space 31 and the second passage 37 through the hole 37 ′, part of which is left open by the plug 23.

Dans ce cas on obtient le débit simultané d'un jet normal à pluie A et d'un jet aéré B à travers le premier et le deuxième rang de trous 26, 27 respectivement.In this case, the simultaneous flow of a normal rain jet A and an aerated jet B is obtained through the first and second rows of holes 26, 27 respectively.
