Definitions

  • the second option is cheaper in this regard the rotatable connection of shower hose and handle, where the rotatable connection nipple on the handle the hand shower is located.
  • connection nipples In the latter case care must be taken to ensure that Screw the shower hose onto the hand shower free rotation of the connection nipple is prevented, otherwise, unscrew the connecting thread of the shower hose not on the connecting thread of the hand shower it is possible.
  • a key surface is provided on which a wrench can be applied. This screw surface however, extends the axially projecting area of the Connection nipple and leaves behind when the shower hose is installed a clearly recognizable gap between the Face of the handle and the assembled shower hose.
  • the object of the present invention is a hand shower of the type mentioned in such a way that without providing an optically unsatisfactory key surface the free rotatability of the connection nipple can be lifted relative to the handle.
  • connection nipple normally, i.e. when the hand shower is fully assembled, in the first position, in which the rotatability compared to the handle is guaranteed. Should now the shower hose can be removed or for the first time or put on the connection nipple again when replacing will be in the second axial position emotional. In this, a positive lock with the handle prevents that the connection nipple is opposite the handle (if necessary beyond a certain angle). After installing the shower hose, the connection nipple returned to the first position, see above that the now attached shower hose opposite the Hand shower is freely rotatable.
  • the second axial position of the connecting nipple inside the handle is the second axial position of the connecting nipple inside the handle as the first axial position. This means that to "lock” the connector an axial pressure towards the inside (referred to this exerted on the interior of the handle of the shower) must become.
  • connection nipple towards the first Position applied. Then the connection nipple returns automatically always back to that axial position, in which ensures free rotation.
  • connection nipple molded feather flag is formed, which on a immovable radial surface within the handle supports.
  • the spring device can in this way the manufacture of the connection nipple "free of charge”. This applies in particular if - how often -. the material of the connection nipple is plastic.
  • connection nipple protruding rotary stop at least one from the outer contour of the connection nipple protruding rotary stop and at least one Rotary stop formed from the contour of the guide hole of the unmoving holding part protrudes in which the connection nipple is held.
  • the "remaining rotatability" the connecting nipple in the second position which results in this way has the advantage that the connector nipple more easily axially to the second position can move, because this is not a precisely defined Angular position of the connection nipple can be found got to.
  • Holding part and connecting nipple are in this case outside the Handle assembled to a structural unit, which then is attached in total in the handle.
  • the fixation of the insert within the handle takes place in an advantageous embodiment of the invention so that at least two spring clips are molded onto the insert are, which when inserting the insert into the Interior of the handle to be compressed first and yourself when reaching the mounting position of the insert spread open and lock.
  • the assembly of the insert and the attached holding part and the Guide part within the handle can be so Do it in seconds.
  • the holder of the connection nipple in rotatable and axial slidably happens at a convenient Embodiment of the invention in that the guide bore of the holding part an area of smaller diameter has a range with the outer diameter smaller diameter of the connection nipple, where the axial length of the area is of smaller diameter the guide hole is less than the axial length of the area smaller diameter of the connecting nipple. Due to the difference between the two axial lengths mentioned it is possible to connect the connecting nipple to the holding part to move axially. The rotation guide of the connection nipple within the guide hole then takes place in the Smaller diameter range of these two parts.
  • connection nipple of two diametrically opposite, segments that only extend over a certain angle is formed such that the cross-sectional shape of the enlarged area only in one direction Dimension that is larger than the area smaller Diameter of the guide bore of the holding part, and that the end area lying in the interior of the handle of the connection nipple divided by a slot is in the direction of the smallest dimension of the cross-sectional shape of the enlarged area of the connection nipple is laid.
  • the insert 3 comprises a main part 5, which apart of which to adapt to the inner contour of the handle 1 required changes essentially cylindrical is and an opening at the end of the handle 1 to the outside has multiply graduated bore 6.
  • the outer contour is still held so that the entire use 3 can be inserted into the interior 2.
  • the spring tabs 7, 8 are initially slightly compressed so that the locking lugs 9 and 10 on slide the inner wall of the handle 1.
  • the Lugs 9 and 10 within the handle 1 the recesses Have reached 11 and 12, the spring tabs spring 7, 8 and the detents 9 and 10 enter the recesses 11 and 12 a. This is how it is used 3 its axial hold within the handle 1.
  • the bore 6 of the main part 5 of the insert 3 has a central axis that is perpendicular to the circular outer end face 13 of the insert 3 is. To this The way to be attached to the handle 1 of the hand shower shower hose the contour of the handle 1 without kinking away.
  • the central bore 6 has areas from the inside to the outside 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d and 6e, whose diameter in the specified Order becomes larger.
  • the different areas 6a to 6e of the central bore 6 of the housing still serve in Descriptive way of recording and fixing a rotatable, but lockable in its rotational movement Fastening nipples 14 for the shower hose and the Passing the water into the interior 2 of the handle 1.
  • the mounting nipple 14 is a substantially cylindrical Part with a multi-step outer contour and an inner bore 15, the central axis of which is coaxial runs to the center bore 6 of the insert 3.
  • the fastening nipple 14 comprises on the outer surface of the area protruding beyond the handle 1 of the hand shower a mounting thread 16 on which the not shown shower hose is attached.
  • a ring shoulder 17 lies with its outer surface in the extreme Area 6e of the inner bore 6 of the insert 3. Die axial length of the shoulder 17 is shorter than the axial Length of area 6e such that the entire mounting nipple 14 axially displaced by a certain distance can be.
  • the area 6d of the central bore 6 of the insert 3 jumps the outer contour of the fastening nipple 14 to a smaller one Diameter back so that between the bore area 6d and the fastening nipple 14 an annular space remains.
  • the outer contour of the fastening nipple 14 goes over a radial step 19 in an area 14c even smaller Diameter over. At the innermost end, it widens Outer contour of the fastening nipple 14 over another radial stage 20 in a collar 21, which again has a larger diameter.
  • the collar 21 extends not over the entire circumference of the mounting nipple 14 but only over a certain angle on opposite sides. It arise on this way two ring segment or sickle-shaped areas 21a and 21b of the collar. The meaning of this division of the Ring collar 21 is clear below.
  • the mounting nipple 14 is from its inside End up to about the axial height of the circumferential step 19th through a slot 22 in two opposite halves separated, such that these halves resiliently on each other can be bent.
  • the fastening nipple 14 can be rotated in the insert 3 and axially displaceable by an annular fastening part 24 held, which with its outer surface glued or welded in the area 6c of the central bore 6 is.
  • the fastening part 24 has a central bore 25 with a region 25a of smaller diameter and an area 25b of larger diameter. Between Areas 25a and 25b are radially extending Step 26.
  • the diameter of the bore area 25a is correct with the outside diameter of the area 14c of the fastening nipple 14 match; the diameter of the hole area 25b, on the other hand, corresponds to the outside diameter of the fastening nipple 14 axially outside the circumferential step 19.
  • Die axial length of the bore region 25a of the fastening part 24 is shorter than the axial length of the area 14c of the fastening nipple 14, such that the fastening nipple 14 within the bore 25 of the fastener 24 axially shifted by a certain distance can be.
  • At level 19 of the mounting nipple 14 are about Distributed circumferentially, several axially projecting (opposite radially protruding) area 14c) 28 molded.
  • the level 26 of the fastening part 24 distributed over the circumference, several axially projecting (opposite the bore area 25b radially projecting) rotary stops 27 formed.
  • the fastening nipple 14 pulled the profile seal 18. Then the inner axial area of the fastening nipple 14 through the slot 22 in half is separated, compressed so that it lies inside Area of the mounting nipple 14 through the Center bore 25 of the fastening part 24 passed until the collar segments 21a and 21b spring back after passing through hole 25 can. Now the fastening nipple 14 is on the fastening part 24 axially displaceable and rotatably attached.
  • the fastening nipple 14 and mounting part 24 existing unit in use 3 attached.
  • the part 24 simply attach the part 24 in the area 6c of the inner bore of the insert 3 inserted and glued or welded there. Since there are now the spring tabs 23 of the mounting nipple 14 at step 29 between the bore areas 6a and 6b support, the mounting nipple 14 is elastic pushed axially outwards as far as possible. In this Position the rotary stops 26 and 27 on the fastening part 24 or the fastening nipple 14 an axial Distance from each other as shown in the drawing is.
  • the rotary stops 28 of the mounting nipple 14 get on this Way in the axial region of the rotary stops 27 of the Fastening part 24 so that they engage each other come and a rotation of the mounting nipple 14th compared to the fastening part 24 and thus compared to the Disable handle 1 of the hand shower.
  • the shower hose will be released; the spring tabs 23 of the mounting nipple 14 slide the mounting nipple 14 within the Fastening part 24 again axially outwards in the in position shown in the drawing, in which the Rotary stops 26 and 27 are disengaged.
  • the mounting nipple 14 can now be compared to the handle 1 twist freely in the desired manner.
