Definitions

  • the invention is based on a shower head with a shower head housing and one inside the shower head housing arranged cleaning device, with the help of pins in Beam exit holes can be inserted.
  • shower heads of this type is either by a manual operation, for example when switching from one jet to another, or through the flowing water driven the cleaning device operated such that the pins are pushed into the beam outlet openings as far as possible particles sticking to the edges of the opening, especially calcifications, are pushed out.
  • the diameter of the cleaning pins is usually slightly smaller than the jet outlet openings.
  • the invention has for its object to a shower head create the possibility of simple construction easy and simple cleaning of the jet outlet openings of deposits or other dirt.
  • the invention proposes a shower head with the features mentioned in claim 1. Training the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
  • the provision of elastically deformable inserts has the advantage that the pens have a better cleaning function can perform.
  • deposits in the shower water for example grains of sand, also through the shower equipment can be removed if it is slightly larger are as the inner opening of the inserts.
  • the stakes can give in here.
  • the limescale deposits can also be removed easier to loosen with the cleaning pens, as here too Deformation of the inserts can occur, which then leads to a Chipping from limescale can result, which cannot deformed.
  • the elastomer inserts over the outside of the Protrude jet disc can be provided in a further development of the invention.
  • the user needs only with a slight hand movement over the spray disc swipe to slightly deform the inserts, causing deposits can also be loosened. He has So the opportunity to help each other with the help of two Additional measures include cleaning the beam outlet openings perform. Precisely because of the deformability of the Inserts that also remove thin deposits lengthways which allows opening walls is also for a clean Beam pattern taken care of.
  • the Cleaning pens have the inside diameter of the jet outlet opening corresponding, if necessary somewhat larger Have outside diameter.
  • the outside diameter of the pins can be larger than that Inner diameter of the openings of the inserts since the inserts yes can give in. Because of the compliance, it is also possible not to align the pins exactly, for example, so that they are arranged eccentrically to the openings can be.
  • This cylindrical area is advantageous in the outer Area of the inserts arranged.
  • the component can practically be buttoned into the spray disc will.
  • the actuator for inserting the cleaning pins into the beam exit openings for example be manually operable by a user on a handle attacks and actuated the cleaning device.
  • the cleaning device is actuated whenever the shower head from one jet type is switched to another jet type.
  • Operating the cleaning device here means that the pins are inserted into the beam exit openings and then pulled out again.
  • Another possibility is that the cleaning device driven back and forth by a turbine from the water flowing through the shower head is driven.
  • the front end of the hand shower forms a shower head housing 1, which forms a substantially circular opening.
  • a core 2 is through this opening into the interior of the housing inserted and fixed in the housing.
  • the shower head core 2 contains water channels that interact with the housing, from which one to a middle group of radiation exit openings leads with a ventilation device 3.
  • a spray disc 4 is inserted, for example snapped.
  • This jet disc 4 has a convex curvature Outside 5 on.
  • the jet disc 4 contains one inner cylindrical approach 8, with its Outside on a correspondingly shaped cylindrical Wall surface of the core 2 is applied.
  • a grip element 9 is provided, on which a Can attack users.
  • the jet disc 4 contains in the ring area between the outer apron 6 and the inner cylindrical neck 8 two concentrically arranged rows of openings. Every opening is filled in by an insert 11 made of rubber-elastic Material consists and a continuous inner opening 12th having. All inserts 11 are on the front of one formed flat ring 13, the width of which is approximately the radial Internal distance between the apron 6 and the approach 8 corresponds.
  • the approaches have an undercut on the outside with which she is behind a shoulder opening the jet disc 4 grab.
  • the inner opening 12 of the inserts 11 is like this shaped that they are on the inside of the shower head facing side have a larger diameter, the then funnel-shaped onto a cylindrical area smaller diameter tapers.
  • the ring element 14 is opposite to the Jet disc 4 axially displaceable, but not rotatable stored.
  • the outer apron 6 of the Spray disc 4 on its inside a projection 15, in a corresponding recess on the radial outside of the ring element 14 engages.
  • the ring element 14 has two on its radial inside diametrically opposite projections 16 on the into a groove in the outside of the cylinder shell of the core 2 intervention.
  • the ring element is on the left in the drawing figure 14 drawn in a different position than on the right in the Figure.
  • the groove 17 in the outside of the core runs longitudinally slightly zigzag on the outside.
  • the diameter of the cleaning pins 12 in their front active area can be the inner diameter of the inner openings 12 be the same in their narrow range, or something greater. Because of the manufacture of the inserts 11 and Ring element 13 made of elastically deformable elastomer material If necessary, the material can dodge a little.
  • the jet outlet openings can of the inserts 11 of deposits, dirt or the like can be cleaned.
  • the cleaning device 10 is actuated whenever the user the jet disc 4 rotated, it is also possible that Cleaning device 10 back and forth from a turbine let it move, that of the flowing through the shower head Water is driven.
