Definitions

  • the invention relates to a decorative ball fountain with a base part which is formed with a ball bed, with a ball movably mounted in the ball bed, and with a pump for conveying a liquid, in particular water, between the ball bed and ball, the ball bed with a liquid -Inlet is formed, and wherein the liquid inlet provided in the base part is formed with an opening which serves to generate a flow directed obliquely against the ball mounted in the ball bed.
  • Such a ball fountain is known from DE-A-40 04 469.
  • the ball bed is realized in that a pot is filled with a synthetic resin compound and a ball coated with a release agent is pressed into the synthetic resin compound. The ball remains in the resin until the resin has solidified and cooled.
  • Ball fountains are also known in which the base part and the ball consist of marble or semi-precious stone, so that the purchase price of such a known ball fountain is relatively large.
  • the manufacturing costs at The grinding of the ball and the ball bed in these known decorative ball fountains account for a considerable proportion of the price of the ball fountain.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a decorative ball fountain of the type mentioned, which is inexpensive to manufacture and allows various variations of the decorative design.
  • this object is achieved in that the liquid inlet is arranged centrally and is formed with a number of openings which are radially and spaced apart from its axis, all of which have partial flows corresponding to the number of openings and directed obliquely against the ball mounted in the ball bed serve, which are oriented obliquely against the axial longitudinal direction of the liquid inlet in the same direction at the same angle.
  • Such a configuration of the liquid inlet results in a circular flow of the liquid conveyed through the liquid inlet by means of the pump between the liquid inlet and the ball, ie between the ball bed and the ball mounted on the ball bed.
  • This circular flow causes friction to drive the ball in the ball bed so that the ball rotates in the ball bed.
  • Due to the circular flow evenly distributed over the entire ball bed the liquid flows off uniformly over the edge of the ball bed, so that the decorative ball fountain according to the invention is advantageously operated without any noise.
  • the decorative ball fountain according to the invention or the like when installed in a living or office space. serve as a humidifier.
  • the liquid inlet can be designed as an independent part which is inserted and fastened in a corresponding opening in the base part.
  • this requires manipulation, which is why it has proven to be advantageous if the liquid inlet formed with the obliquely inclined openings is formed in one piece with the base part.
  • Such a base part is simple and inexpensive to produce from a plastic material, which has a very advantageous effect on the purchase price of the decorative ball fountain according to the invention.
  • the purchase prices of which range from DR 500 to DM 1,000 and above the purchase price of a decorative ball fountain including pump is in the order of DM 50 to DM 100, -.
  • Such a low purchase price is also possible with the decorative ball fountain according to the invention because commercially available balls, which are actually intended for other applications, can be used with it.
  • balls which are actually intended for other applications, can be used with it.
  • Various decorative effects can be achieved with this.
  • Such a structure will namely not only perform a rotary movement about its vertical axis, but at the same time also a wobble or precession movement by suitable formation of the ball bed and the lenticular structure.
  • the base part formed with the ball bed can be sealingly connected to the pump by means of a pump adapter.
  • this pump adapter can consist of a suitable plastic material.
  • the pump can advantageously be a known pump with a drive device, such as that used, for example, as a submersible pump in garden pond fountains, in indoor fountains, in aquariums for aeration or the like. used.
  • the drive device for such a pump is usually a shaded-pole motor with a permanent magnet rotor and completely electrically insulated stator excitation winding, which is supplied with energy from the normal single-phase household power network.
  • An upright extension tube can be arranged between the base part and the pump adapter.
  • This extension tube can consist of a colored or a transparent or crystal-clear material, preferably plastic material. This makes it possible to implement a wide variety of variations or decorative designs.
  • Embodiments of the decorative ball fountain according to the invention or of individual parts thereof are shown in the drawing and are described below.
  • FIG. 1 shows a decorative ball fountain 10 with a commercially available pump 12, a pump adapter 14 arranged on the pump 12, a base part 16 arranged on the pump adapter 14 and with a ball 18 drawn in sections which is movably mounted on the base part 16 is.
  • the pump 12 which is designed with an electric motor, has a liquid inlet 20 and a liquid outlet 22 downstream of the liquid inlet 20.
  • the pump adapter 14 has a fastening section 24 adapted to the shape of the pump 12, as can be seen from FIG. 3.
  • the pump adapter 14 is formed with a through hole 26, through which the liquid outlet 22 of the pump 12 extends sealingly into an upper-side trough space 28 of the pump adapter 14.
  • the base part 16 can be arranged or arranged in a sealing manner on the pump adapter 14 and is provided with a liquid inlet 30, through which liquid sucked in by the pump 12 through the pump inlet 20, in particular water, is conveyed into the gap between ball 18 and ball bed 32 of base part 16. The liquid then flows out over the peripheral edge 34 of the base part 16.
  • the ball fountain 10 is usually in a tub, bowl or the like. arranged, which is normally filled to a height with said liquid, in particular water, so that the pump 12 with its drive device is under water.
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the ball fountain 10 which differs from the embodiment of the ball fountain 10 shown in FIG. 1 only in that at least one extension tube 42 is provided between the pump adapter 14 and the base part 16 formed with the ball bed 32 is.
  • the same details are given the same reference numerals in FIGS. 1 and 2, so that it is not necessary to describe all of these details again in detail in conjunction with FIG. 2.
  • FIGs 4 and 5 show a pipe branching device 44, which is cap-shaped with connection or plug sleeves 46, on which - as can be seen from Figure 3 is - tubular elements 47 are securely fastened.
  • the pipe branching device 44 can be attached either directly to the pump adapter 14 or to the extension pipe 42 fastened to the pump adapter, which is indicated in FIG. 3 by the arrows 48 and 50.
  • a base part 16 can be fastened on each pipe element 47 which is upward from the pipe branching device 44, which is indicated in FIG. 3 by the arrows 52.
