Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is to design a shower base of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that an optically calm shower base is created which no longer has any easily dirty depressions in its outer surface.
  • the present invention takes a different route: the nozzle attachments start from an uninterrupted, smooth and non-recessed outer surface of the shower base, penetrate at a radial distance from the inside of the shower base, that is to say openings that do not open towards the outer surface, in order to then end up in the interior of the shower head housing.
  • the invention thus recognizes for the first time that walking is possible even if the user's hand does not directly attack the free ends of the hose-like nozzle attachments.
  • the effect of manual walking can be reduced by using aids such as of sponges or terry towels, still improve.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the nozzle projections surrounded by a free annular space are guided radially at their inner end by a component rigidly connected to the housing. In this way, a stronger deformation of the nozzle attachments can be achieved during milling than in the cases in which the inner end of the nozzle attachments remains free.
  • a multi-function shower head in which the component rigidly connected to the housing is a partition wall, which divides the interior of the housing into two water spaces, the partition wall having a multiplicity of through-bores, each communicating with a nozzle channel passing through a nozzle attachment.
  • the partition wall which is required anyway in the case of a multi-function shower, also takes over the holding function for the inner ends of the nozzle attachments.
  • All nozzle approaches can be integrally formed on a nozzle plate which, together with a perforated plate made of rigid material, forms the shower base and extends along the outer surface of the perforated plate such that the outer surface of the nozzle plate is at the same time the outer surface of the shower base.
  • the nozzle plate made of elastic material forms a shock protection for the shower base.
  • each nozzle attachment can be an integral part of a nozzle insert, which also has an annular flange-like area, each nozzle insert being inserted into a through hole of a perforated plate made of rigid material, the diameter of which corresponds to the outer diameter of the annular flange-like area, in such a way that the perforated plate and nozzle inserts together form a shower base form, the smooth continuous outer surface is partly formed by the outer surface of the perforated plate and partly by the outer surfaces of the nozzle inserts.
  • each nozzle attachment surrounded by a free annular space is surrounded by a cylindrical retaining collar which is integrally formed on the nozzle plate or on the nozzle insert and which lies with its outer circumferential surface on the wall of the associated through-hole of the perforated plate, the nozzle plate or the nozzle inserts on the rigid perforated plate are special well anchored; the nozzle attachments are properly centered in the annular spaces.
  • the nozzle attachments can be provided with one or more reinforcing ribs on their outer lateral surface. These can be used to change the deformation behavior of the nozzle attachments as required in order to optimize the limescale-dissipating effect of manual walking.
  • the nozzle plate is releasably attached to the perforated plate from the outside.
  • the nozzle plate can also be detached from the shower base if required, in extreme cases when flexing by hand should no longer suffice for cleaning.
  • the following is recommended: There a plurality of collar-shaped projections can be formed on the rigid perforated plate, which surround the outer region of at least part of the hose-like nozzle projections and separate them from the nozzle plate.
  • These collar-shaped lugs have several functions: on the one hand, they divide the elastic material of the nozzle lugs, which takes part in the deformation caused by the flexing, from the elastic material of the nozzle plate. In this way, the elastic deformation used to clean the nozzle attachments can be better controlled.
  • the collar-shaped lugs form a certain resistance for the finger sliding under pressure along the underside of the shower base, which on the one hand indicates where a walk is required and on the other hand increases the flexing effect when the finger has overcome the resistance with exertion of force.
  • the following embodiment of the invention can be used in multi-function showers which have the above-mentioned two water spaces which are separated from one another by a partition wall: the free annular spaces communicate with one of the water spaces and are also connected to the outer surface of the shower base via openings in the form of ring segments.
  • annular spaces which are actually provided for flexing the nozzle attachments simultaneously serve in one operating mode as a water path to water outlet openings which concentrically surround the water outlet openings assigned to the nozzle attachments, which generally form the “hard jets”.
  • This has the advantage that a basically similar spray pattern is achieved in both operating modes.
  • the reference numeral 1 denotes a multi-part shower base, which forms the lower end of a bell-shaped housing, not shown, in a conventional manner. He is generally circular and goes to his Outer circumference - in one piece or via a detachable connection - in the housing of the shower head.
  • the shower base 1 comprises a perforated plate 1a made of relatively rigid material, which has several sets of through holes in concentric circles around its central axis.
  • FIG. 1 shows such a bore 3 or 4 of two such sets.
  • the through bores 3 of the perforated plate 1 a which are to be thought of radially further outward, have a somewhat larger diameter, while the through bores 2 which are located radially further inward have a somewhat smaller diameter. The meaning of the different diameters is discussed below.
  • the shower base 1 also comprises a nozzle plate which bears the reference symbol 1b.
  • the nozzle plate 1b consists of an elastomeric, deformable plastic and is injection molded directly onto the perforated plate 1a using two-component technology.
  • the nozzle plate 1b comprises an essentially flat base plate 9, which preferably extends along the underside of the perforated plate 1a to the outer edge thereof.
  • cylindrical nozzle projections 10, 11 are injection molded, which extend through the corresponding holes 2, 3 of the perforated plate 1a into the interior of the shower head.
  • the nozzle lugs 10 assigned to the through bores 2 of smaller diameter have such an outer diameter that they are in direct contact with the through bores 2 of the perforated plate 1 a; they can touch the wall with their outer surface the through holes 2 are injection molded.
  • the nozzle attachments 10 are each penetrated by a cylindrical nozzle channel 12, which therefore has the same diameter over its entire axial length.
  • the axial length of the nozzle lugs 10 is such that they protrude only slightly beyond the inner end face of the perforated plate 1.
  • the nozzle attachments 11 of the nozzle plate 1b assigned to the through bores 3 of the perforated plate 1 have an outer diameter which is significantly smaller than the diameter of the through bores 3. In this way, a free annular space 13 is created between the outer lateral surface of the nozzle lugs 11 and the wall of the through bores 3.
  • an insert-like partition 4 is shown as the second of the two components of the shower head mentioned, which extends essentially parallel to the perforated plate 1 through the housing of the shower head and divides it into two water spaces.
  • One of these water spaces is between the partition 4 and the perforated plate 1; the other of these water spaces is above the partition 4, between this and the bell-shaped housing of the shower head.
  • the two water spaces can optionally be connected via a diverter valve (not shown) to the water supply channel, which in the case of a hand shower generally leads through the handle.
  • the partition 4 contains coaxial to the through holes 3 of larger diameter in the perforated plate 1 a through holes 5 which have an extension 6 at the end facing the perforated plate 1 a.
  • the extension 6 of the through holes 5 is each one formed on the intermediate wall 4 formed cylindrical support collar 7.
  • the axial length of the nozzle lugs 11 of the nozzle plate 1b is dimensioned such that the inner, free ends of the nozzle lugs 11 extend into the corresponding extensions 6 of the through bores 5 of the partition 4, so that they are surrounded by the cylindrical support collar 7 and held or guided radially are.
  • the seal between the nozzle lugs 11 and the partition 4 can optionally be radial, i.e. between the cylindrical surfaces of the nozzle lug 11 and the collar-shaped extension 7 or axial, i.e. between the end face of the nozzle extension 11 and the step between the through hole 5 and the extension 6 in FIG Partition 4 take place.
  • the tapering region of the nozzle channel 14 causes the water jets flowing through them to focus and accelerate, so that they emerge from the shower as so-called "hard jets".
  • the function of the shower base described above is as follows: If the water space above the partition 4 is connected to the water supply channel by the corresponding position of the changeover valve, the water flowing through occurs through the through bores 5 of the partition 4 and the nozzle channels 14 of the nozzle extensions 11 of the nozzle plate 1b and as hard jets from the outlet openings 15 of the shower head. If, on the other hand, the diverter valve is actuated so that the water enters the water space located between the partition 4 and the perforated plate 1a, it flows through the nozzle channels 12 of the nozzle extensions 10 of the nozzle plate 1b; Because of its relatively large diameter, relatively slow water jets emerge from the outlet openings 23 of the nozzle channels 12, which are called “soft jets” in the technical terminology. As a rule, 1 "air” is added to the "soft jets" before it leaves the shower base.
  • the base plate 9 bends inward in the region of the free annular spaces 13 due to the elasticity of the material of the nozzle plate 1b.
  • This bending out of the base plate 9 is accompanied by a corresponding deformation of the nozzle lugs 11, which cannot move radially at their inner end due to their mounting and their guidance in the annular support collar 7 of the partition 4.
  • the result is a deformation of the inner wall of the nozzle channels 14, in which the relatively rigid limescale deposits are blown off.
  • the type of deformation of the inner wall of the nozzle channels 14 can vary depending on the geometry and the choice of material.
  • reinforcing ribs (not shown in the drawing) on the outer lateral surface of the nozzle attachments 11. These reinforcing ribs can extend axially, spirally or in the circumferential direction and extend radially to the wall of the corresponding hole in the perforated plate 1a. In the latter case, the annulus 13 is divided into individual annulus segments. The reinforcing ribs can also be integrally formed on the bore wall on their radially outer side. In all cases, however, it is the annular space 13 between the outer wall of the nozzle attachments 11 and the associated through-hole 3 of the perforated plate 1 that allows or facilitates deformation.
  • the outer surface of the nozzle plate 1b which is also the outer surface of the shower base 1, has no depressions, with the exception of the outlet openings 15 and 23 of the nozzle channels 12 and 14, as was the case with the prior art mentioned at the beginning.
  • the annular spaces 13 which open inwards, no dirt can accumulate, which would impair the walkability of the nozzle attachments 10, 11.
  • FIG. 2 shows a simplified embodiment of a shower head, which, however, largely corresponds to the embodiment described above with reference to FIG. 1. Corresponding parts are therefore identified by the same reference number plus 100.
  • a perforated plate 101a can again be seen in FIG. 2, which is part of a shower base 101 and contains a large number of through bores 103 arranged on concentric circles.
  • a separate nozzle insert 101b is accommodated in each through bore 103 of the perforated plate 101a. While the material of the perforated plate 101a is relatively rigid, the nozzle inserts 101b are similar as the nozzle plate 1b of Figure 1 made of an elastomeric plastic; they are injection molded onto the perforated plate 101a using two-component technology. Each nozzle insert 101b contains an annular flange-like region 109, the outer diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of the through bores 103. The lower end face of the nozzle inserts 101b is flush with the outer end face of the perforated plate 101a, so that the shower base 101 shown in FIG. 2 also has a continuous, smooth outer surface free of depressions.
  • Nozzle lugs 111 are integrally formed on the ring flange-like region 109 and coaxially with the through bores 103.
  • the outer diameter of the nozzle lugs 111 is smaller than the diameter of the bores 103 of the perforated plate 101a, so that a free annular space 113 is formed between the wall of the bores 103 and the outer lateral surface of the nozzle lugs 111.
  • the nozzle channel 114 which passes through the nozzle insert 111 coaxially to the through-bore 103 of the perforated plate 101a tapers again in its outer region, in such a way that hard jets emerge from the outlet opening 115.
  • the shower base 101 shown in FIG. 2 has only one water space, a partition, similar to the partition 4 of FIG. 1, is not provided.
  • the inner ends of the nozzle attachments 111 are therefore unguided and therefore end free. If, however, an attempt is made to ensure that a sufficient flexing of the nozzle attachments 111 is not possible with an unguided inner end of the nozzle attachments 111, the inner ends of the nozzle attachments 111 can of course be fixed radially in a similar manner to that in the exemplary embodiment of Figure 1 was the case.
  • FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of a shower head, which is very closely related to the embodiment of FIG. 1. Corresponding parts are therefore identified by the same reference number plus 200.
  • a perforated plate 201a which is part of a shower base 201, with two sets of through holes 202 and 203 can be seen in FIG.
  • the through bores 203 have a larger diameter than the through bores 202.
  • a nozzle plate 201b made of elastomeric plastic is injection-molded onto the perforated plate 201a made of relatively rigid material using two-component technology. It comprises a base plate 209 running along the entire lower end face of the perforated plate 201a, to which nozzle projections 210 and 211 are molded coaxially to the through bores 202 and 203 of the perforated plate 201a.
  • the configuration of the nozzle attachments 210 corresponds completely to that of the nozzle attachments 10 of FIG. 1, so that reference can be made to the description in this regard.
  • the configuration of the nozzle attachments 211 from FIG. 3 is also identical to that of the nozzle attachments 11 from FIG. 1. Although not shown in FIG. 3, so 3 are held on a partition which divides the interior of the shower head housing into two water spaces, as was the case with the embodiment of FIG. 1. That is, depending on the position of a changeover valve, the shower head shown in FIG. 3 generates either hard jets which emerge from the outlet openings 215 of the nozzle extensions 211 or soft jets which flow out of the outlet openings 223 of the nozzle extensions 210.
  • FIG. 3 The only difference between the shower bases shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 is that in FIG. 3 additional retaining collars 220 are molded onto the nozzle plate 201b, the outer diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of the bores 203.
  • the holding collars 220 can be sprayed directly onto the walls of the through bores 203.
  • the annular space 213 required for flexing the nozzle attachments 211 is thus formed between the holding collars 220 and the outer circumferential surface of the nozzle attachments 211.
  • the mode of operation of the exemplary embodiment from FIG. 3 is completely identical to that of the exemplary embodiment from FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 While in the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 3 described above, the nozzle plate or the nozzle insert was permanently attached to the perforated plate in two-component technology, this is different in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 4.
  • This embodiment is very similar to that of Figure 3, but has a nozzle plate which is detachably linked into the perforated plate.
  • the reference numerals used in FIG. 4 correspond to those of FIG. 1 plus 300 for corresponding parts.
  • the perforated plate 301a made of rigid plastic has through bores 303 with a relatively large diameter, which correspond in function to the through bores 3, 103 and 203 of FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • a nozzle plate 301b made of elastomeric material comprises a base plate 309 to which a plurality of nozzle extensions 311 are integrally formed. It is left open in FIG. 4 whether the nozzle plate 301b also has nozzle attachments which correspond to the nozzle attachments 10 from FIG. 1 and 210 from FIG. 3. This is of no importance for further understanding. As FIG. 4 makes clear, the nozzle projections 311 have a smaller outside diameter than the through bores 303 of the perforated plate 301a. Similar to the exemplary embodiment in FIG.
  • retaining collars 320 are formed on the base plate 309 of the nozzle plate 301b, the outer diameter of which corresponds to the inner diameter of the through bores 303.
  • a free space 313 thus remains between the holding collars 320 and the nozzle projections 311, which allows the nozzle projections 311 to flex and thus limescale deposits to be blasted off the walls of the nozzle channels 314 in the manner already described.
  • the retaining collars 320 in FIG. 4 have a fastening bead 321 on their inwardly facing edge. This protrudes outwards on the inside of the perforated plate 301a and, together with the corresponding fastening beads 321 on all other nozzle attachments 311, secures the nozzle plate 301b on the perforated plate 301a.
  • the nozzle plate 301b can thus be mounted on the perforated plate 301a in that the retaining collars 320 are pushed through the corresponding through bores 303 of the perforated plate 301a, which is due to the elasticity of the material of the nozzle insert 301b is possible.
  • the fastening beads 321 have passed through the through hole 303, they spring open and thus form an axial fixation for the nozzle plate 301b.
  • the introduction of the holding collars 320 and in particular the fastening beads 321 molded onto them into the through bores 303 of the perforated plate 301a is facilitated by a bevel 322 at the outer end of the through bores 303.
  • the shower head shown in FIG. 4 has the advantage that the nozzle plate 301b can also be removed from the perforated plate 301a by a corresponding axial pull if necessary. Should the cleaning of the nozzle channels 314 brought about by the flexing of the nozzle attachments 311 exceptionally no longer suffice after prolonged use, the entire nozzle plate 301b can be removed and thoroughly cleaned in any way. The nozzle plate 301b is then releasably attached to the perforated plate 301a in the manner described above.
  • FIG. 5 The embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 5 is very similar to that of FIG. 1. Corresponding parts are therefore identified by the same reference numerals plus 400. The following description is limited to the differences between the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 5 and 1: In the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1, no annular space was provided between the nozzle attachments 10 which carry the “soft jets” and the rigid perforated plate 1a. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, on the other hand, there is a further annular space 450, which corresponds in its function to the annular space 413 around the nozzle attachment 411. No special explanations are required.
  • the second, more significant difference can be seen in a plurality of collar-shaped projections 440, which are molded onto the rigid perforated plate 401a in such a way that they penetrate the elastic nozzle plate 401b.
  • the collar-shaped lugs 440 concentrically surround the nozzle lugs 410 and 411. They have the function of separating the elastic material of the nozzle attachments 410, 411 from the elastic material of the nozzle plate 401b. In this way, elastic deformation of the nozzle attachments 410, 411 caused by flexing does not propagate into the region of the nozzle plate 401b. The material that takes part in the walk is better defined.
  • FIG. 6 The embodiment of Figure 6 is very similar to that of Figure 5, left half. The differences are as follows: While separate nozzle attachments 410, 411 were provided for hard and soft blasting in the embodiment of FIG. 5, there is only one type of nozzle attachment 511 in the embodiment of FIG. 6. The free ends of the nozzle attachments 511 pointing upward in FIG. 6 are shown in FIG of the type already indicated above is attached to an inner partition of the shower base in such a way that the nozzle channels 514 of the nozzle attachments 511 are connected via through holes in the partition to a water space which is on the side of the partition facing away from the shower base 501.
  • the annular spaces 513 surrounding the nozzle attachments 511 communicate with the water space which is located on the side of the partition facing the shower base 501.
  • Several ring segment-shaped water outlet openings lead from the bottom of the annular spaces 513 530 to the outer surface of the shower base 501.
  • the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 6 thus functions as follows: in one operating mode, the water space further away from the shower base 501 is connected to the water supply. The water flows through the nozzle channels 514 of the nozzle attachments 511 and exits as hard jets through the water outlet openings 515.
  • the water space closer to the shower base is connected to the water supply and is enriched with air.
  • This water flows through the annular spaces 513 and emerges from the shower base 501 through the ring segment-shaped openings 530 as "soft jets".
  • the water outlet openings for "soft jets” basically have the same position as the water outlet openings for "hard jets”, but surround them concentrically with a larger diameter.
  • the basic jet pattern that is to say the point at which the water jets emerge from the shower base 501b, basically remains the same in this embodiment of a shower head in hard and soft jet mode.
  • FIG. 7 shows the modifications which have been described above with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6 in the embodiment of the invention which is shown in the left half of FIG. No additional explanation is required.
