Definitions
- the present invention relates to a shower head with a Venturi nozzle for admixing ingredients from a reservoir and ambient air into the water flow.
- showers are nowadays widely used in the private sector and in public institutions as devices for cleaning and / or macsago and medical treatment purposes.
- a spray head with numerous nozzle openings is provided, from which a fanned out, finely distributed water jet emerges.
- nozzle openings Depending on the type of nozzle openings, a distinction is made between different showers
- shower or rain shower, fan or jet shower Furthermore, according to the type of installation, it can be grouped into fixed standing showers - here the shower head can be aligned if necessary - and into hand showers that can move freely on a flexible hose.
- the hand showers provided for showering form the object area of the present invention.
- a shower head is used only for the fine, spray-like distribution of the shower water supplied.
- shower showers are already known in which, from an externally arranged container, the shower water ingredients are added - as detergents, hair or body care products.
- a device is disclosed in US Pat. No. 2,562,415 where a device is placed before entering the shower head partial stream branched off from the main water stream is passed through a container with bath salts, which is then enriched with dissolved salts and fed back to the main stream.
- US Pat. Nos. 2,316,781 and 3,231,200 describe devices with a liquid additive in the respective container, which is drawn off by the suction effect of a Venturi nozzle and is added to the shower water. From US Pat. Nos.
- the present invention therefore has as its object to provide a perfected shower head with an admixing device which, with a small amount of a substance to be added, causes it to be completely mixed with the air-permeated shower jet and provides a very good flavor for its surroundings.
- the shower head should be designed in particular as a hand shower that is simple to operate and should not require voluminous, external containers for storing the ingredients.
- an expanded variant of the device at least between see two different ingredients to be mixed and a zero setting in which no mixing takes place. Not only is the direct use of the shower head designed to be user-friendly, but also its initial installation, filling with the accessories and maintenance.
- the basic solution to this problem is contained in independent claim 1, while preferred design variants result from the dependent claims.
- the essence of the invention is that the ingredients are stored in a reservoir provided directly in the shower head and air is sucked in through these ingredients by a Venturi nozzle, which is then flavored and added to the shower water.
- a Venturi nozzle which is then flavored and added to the shower water.
- a reservoir is assigned to each reservoir and the flow rate of ingredients into the reservoirs is adjusted by means of dosing screws.

A through hole 212 is provided in cover 210 in the third corner region.
- the two filler necks 230 are each closed with a cover 300 which has an opening 310 on the top side.
- the cover 210 lies on top of the central part 120 and the border 211 sits on the shoulder 129.
- the guide tubes 220 are in the reservoirs 150 and the bearing part 520 is guided in the passage opening 212, the pin 510 projecting beyond the cover 210 so that the control lever 400 can be placed thereon.
- the control lever 400 has a recess 410 which is adequate for receiving the pin 510.
- a short inlet tube 320 extends downward from the opening 310 of the cover 300, in which a plurality of spacer webs 330 are provided.
- the spacer webs 330 in the lids 300 have the function of ensuring the air outlet when ingredients are refilled into the reservoirs 150.
- a reservoir 150 is formed from a deep blind hole in the central part 120 of the base body 100.
- the guide tube 220 of the attached reservoir insert 200 which has been moved into the reservoir 150, ends shortly before the reservoir bottom 151.
- a stair-shaped shoulder 152 is provided near the reservoir bottom 151, from which the diameter of the reservoir 150 narrows abruptly.
- a plurality of centering webs 153 which extend to the reservoir bottom 151, are arranged on the shoulder 152.
- the guide tube end piece 221 penetrating into this area leaves a flow gap S toward the reservoir bottom 151.
- the centering webs 153 bring about the central alignment of the guide tube end piece 221, so that a defined, uniform lateral annular gap R also remains.
- the flow gap S and the annular gap R are determined by the viscosity of the ingredients 700 that have been introduced.
- the shower head functions in the following way, it being assumed that the control lever 400 is in one of the two end positions and thus a reservoir 150 is activated. With the opening of the inlet valve, water begins to flow through the shower head and the Venturi nozzle 180 creates a vacuum, quasi a suction, in the channel 123, which continues via the channels 550 and 128 into the controlled reservoir. As a result of the negative pressure in the reservoir 150, ambient air is sucked in through the opening 310 in the cover 300, which flows downward through the guide tube 220, flows around the guide tube end 221 and thereby passes through the flow gap S and the annular gap R and finally via the channels 128, 550 and 123 flows to the Venturi nozzle 180 and is added to the shower water there.
- the reservoir 150 is at least partially filled with a certain ingredient, the air drawn in must penetrate the ingredient.
- the air takes off particles of material and is flavored accordingly.
- a water jet mixed with flavored air flows out of the shower head and contains the ingredients in a fine distribution.
- control lever 400 If an interruption of the admixture is desired, it is only necessary to move the control lever 400 into the zero position. If the ingredient from the second reservoir 150 is to be mixed in, the control lever 400 must be brought into the other marriage position.
- each reservoir is assigned a storage chamber and the rate of flow of ingredients into the reservoirs is adjusted by means of metering screws.
- the shower head in the area of the Venturi nozzle is designed differently from the first embodiment.
- the shower head again consists of a base body 100 'with a handle 110', a central part 120 ' and a head part 140', it being technically advantageous to manufacture the handle 110 'separately and to attach it to the base body 100'.

- the control part 500 'and the control lever 400' are identical to the control part 500 and the control lever 400. The respective details are provided with the corresponding reference numbers.
- the channel 550 'present in the control part 500' connects the channel 123 'coming from the water flow to one of the channels 128' which leads to one of the two reservoirs 150 'when the switch position is corresponding.
- the control lever 400 ' is in the zero position aligned with the handle 110'; thus there is currently no passage from channel 123 'to one of the reservoirs 150'.
- Each storage chamber 160 ' has a lower, cylindrical, pocket-shaped depression 162' which narrows downwards like a funnel and has a downward-pointing drain hole 164 'at the bottom 163'.
- the recess 162 ' widens ascending at a bevel 165 * which runs towards the central wall 161'.
- a dosing screw 170 ' which can be screwed into the head part 140' is provided.
- a shower head insert 600 ' is placed on the downward-pointing outlet bore 141' in the head part 140 '.
- a reservoir insert 200 ' is placed on the central part 120' from above and, at the same time, has the function of a cover in the case of a one-piece construction which is advantageous in terms of production technology.
- the reservoir insert 200 ' accordingly consists of a cover 210' with a border 211 'which is placed on the shoulder 129' of the central part 120 ".

- the guide tubes 220 ' open with their guide tube openings 222 'and the inlet tube 320' with its openings 310 * in the cover 210 '.
- the guide tubes 220' are inserted in the two reservoirs 150 ', while the inlet tubes 320' protrude into the storage chambers 160 '.
- the cover 210 * there is at least one air compensation hole 340 'in each case next to the inlet tubes 320', from which the air can escape, which is displaced by the inlet tube 320 'when ingredients 700 are filled in.
- channel 123 '190 has subsequent channel 191'.
- the dosing screws 170 ' serve to regulate the flow of ingredients from the storage chambers 160' into the reservoirs 150 '.
- the additional storage chambers 160 * arranged next to the reservoirs 150 ' reduce the consumption of ingredients and thus make the individual filling more productive.
- the respective reservoir 150 * and the associated storage chamber 160 ' are adjacent.
- the drain hole 164 ' which extends vertically and downwards from the bottom 163' of the storage chamber 160 ', branches off at right angles as a horizontal inlet hole 166' and opens into the lower region of the reservoirs 150 '. To the outside, i.e.
- the inflow bore 166' is extended in the form of a threaded bore 167 '.
- the latter has a conical seat 168'.
- the metering screw 170 ' is inserted into the threaded bore 167', the grip element 171 'of which can be grasped from the outside for rotating the metering screw 170' and whose cone tip 172 '- depending on the depth setting - is inserted into the conical seat 168' penetrates.
- the remaining gap between the cone tip 172' and the cone seat 168 ' is reduced, as a result of which the flow rate at the gauges is reduced.
- the conical seat 168 ' is completely closed, so that no more gauges can pass from the storage chamber 160' into the reservoir 150 '.
- the inflow of ingredients from the storage chamber 160 'into the reservoir 150' takes place through the pressure of the liquid column in the storage chamber 160 'and through the negative pressure generated at the Venturi nozzle 180' when water flows through the shower head.
