Definitions

  • the invention relates to a nozzle for hydromassage bathtubs.
  • Bathtubs which comprise, mounted in the side walls thereof, nozzles known as "jets" in which the air, the water temperature and pressure are combined to provide a beneficial relaxing massage for the body.
  • EP-A-0 396 118 in which the nozzle body member is provided at the side thereof with an electromagnetically opened passage and a valve which opens automatically when the water pressure drops.
  • EP-A-0 297 246 which comprises a drain valve using a spherical closure member.
  • valve device is installed in a small space which communicates laterally with the pressurized water supply pipe and at the top thereof with the nozzle mouth, with the opening of the valve device determining complete draining of the nozzle to said pipe, which is located below the mouth of the nozzle body member.
  • the articulated bushing in a simplified version, is held resiliently in the different positions thereof by the action of resilient fingers formed in the sleeve screwed into the mouth of the nozzle, it has been contemplated in a second version, that the articulated bushing be held in place by arranging a threaded bushing engaged in the front open end of the sleeve, and a spring which bears at the rear against projections provided on the inner periphery of the rear open end of said sleeve. Complete draining is achieved through these projections towards the rear of the nozzle body member, where the valve device is located.
  • This second version allows the passage towards the inner water discharge bushing to be left clear for cleaning purposes by removing the threaded bushing, the articulated bushing and the spring and without having to remove the sleeve from the nozzle body member, thereby avoiding subsequent problems in the later attachment of said sleeve to the body member caused by possible movements of said body member relative to the hole of the bathtub in which the nozzle is mounted and which are difficult to correct, in view of the embedded installation thereof.
  • the nozzle comprises a body member 1 with front mouth 2, above which there is transversely disposed the tubular expansion 3 for connection to the pipe in communication with the ambient air and underneath the nozzle there is provided the tubular expansion 4 for connection to the pressurized water supply, driven by the corresponding pump.
  • the tubular expansion 4 is in communication with the mouth 2 through an elbowed passage 5 which receives at the front end thereof the threaded bushing 6 aligned with the axis of the mouth 2.
  • valve device 7 Juxtaposed in front of the tubular expansion 4 there is a valve device 7 comprising a space 8 in communication at the side thereof with said expansion and which has an opening at the bottom closed by a threaded plug 9 (Figure 1) which extends upwardly forming vertical radial walls 10 on which there rests a ball valve 11.
  • the space 8 is in communication at the top thereof with the mouth 2 through an orifice 12.
  • the articulated bushing 13 In the mouth 2 of the nozzle there is orientatably installed the articulated bushing 13 having a stepped inside diameter and a spherical outer surface 14.
  • the articulated bushing is retained by a sleeve 15 screwed into the mouth 2 with a front flange 16 and a circular inner rib 17 against which the articulated bushing bears by way of the spherical surface.
  • the bushing is retained by the pressure of two resilient opposed fingers 18 and 19 provided on the said sleeve.
  • said clearance may be replaced by one or more longitudinal grooves21 provided in the thread of the mouth 2 ( Figure 4).
  • the articulated bushing 13 is orientatably installed in the mouth 2 of the nozzle.
  • the bushing 13 is supported in position in the interior of a sleeve 15' threadedly connected to said mouth 2, the articulated bushing being held resiliently, which is achieved by way of a conical helical spring 22 which bears at the front end thereof against the articulated bushing 13 and at the opposite end thereof bears against internal projections 23 on the inner periphery of the rear open end of the sleeve 15', between which there is a passage for draining towards the valve device 7 adjacent the front of the tubular expansion 4.
  • the spring 22 resiliently pushes the articulated bushing 13 against the threaded bushing 24, attached to the front open end of the sleeve 15' which, for handling purposes, is provided with notches 25 formed on the inner periphery of the front open end thereof with a view to facilitating, by removal of the threaded bushing, of the articulated bushing 13 and of the spring 22, direct access to the bushing 6 through which the water exits and allowing cleaning thereof when necessary.
  • valve device 7 is simplified and the ball valve 11 is located in a cavity 8 closed at the bottom thereof and communicating at the side with the tubular expansion 4 through a hole 26 through which the ball valve 11 is inserted under pressure.
  • This cavity is in communication at the top thereof with the nozzle mouth 2 through the orifice 12.
  • This valve device could be of any other type, for example, it could comprise a stopper member operated by a spring, the force of which is overcome by the pressure of the water flowing through the tubular expansion 4.
