Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sanitary tub with a Air bubble device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • JP (A) 01 190 979 is an electromagnetically operated blower known, which due to its design at low temperatures To prevent performance degradation.
  • US-A-4 858 255 relates to a hydrotherapy device which is used for avoidance the cooling of the bath water is supplied with preheated air.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a sanitary tub to propose the type mentioned in which the problems mentioned are avoided are and in particular an operation of the air bubble device at low Noise level and high well-being is possible.
  • the electromagnetic An oscillating air pump can be a diaphragm air pump, for example his.
  • Electromagnetically oscillating Air pumps have few moving parts and consequently few Total wear and long service life. Electromagnetically oscillating Air pumps are also very compact. You don't necessarily need one to be magnetic diaphragm or diaphragm air pump; There are also other options, for example a motor with reciprocating Pistons (suction and pressure pumps).
  • the use of electromagnetic oscillating is surprisingly effective Air pumps according to the invention, characterized in that in the area of the transfer of the Airflow into the water of the tub interior too Flow division obstacle is provided, especially if this is made of an air permeable microporous material like this EP-A-0 619 110 is known per se.
  • the combination of one Electromagnetic oscillating air pump with an obstacle to flow division made of breathable microporous material obviously synergistic effects.
  • the air bubbles generated by the air outlet nozzle are extremely small, which means that when in contact with the Skin of a user of the sanitary tub come to have little opportunity expand and therefore the additional heat requirement due to evaporation of the Water is lower.
  • Air bubbles are particularly comfortable because the unpleasant effect is colder Bubbles of conventional air bubble systems are eliminated.
  • the bath water also cools for the reasons mentioned less quickly; in addition, small Air bubbles less often in the top water level, causing that Bathing water on the surface also cools down less.
  • the air pumps can advantageously be operated with a mains frequency (50 to 60 Hz) operate.
  • the diaphragm air pump 1 according to FIG. 1 is double.
  • the two Pumps (left and right) are adjusted to each other and work together, so that air is generated at all times.
  • the air pump 1 has an electromagnet 2 and a permanent magnet 3.
  • An operating rod or Vibration element 4 moves back and forth as by the arrow indicated.
  • each pump has a diaphragm or membrane 5, made of an elastic material, for example rubber or plastic.
  • the air pump 1 has an air inlet opening 6 and an air outlet opening 7 provided.
  • An air intake valve 8 made of an elastic material, for example rubber or plastic, and a Air outlet valve 9 of a similar design provide the necessary Flow direction in the branch pipes 10 and Air pipe 11 of the air outlet nozzle D.
  • the air outlet nozzles D according to FIGS. 2 and 3 are in the Floor or wall 12 of a bathtub can be tightened.
  • Nozzle housing 13 is for this purpose with appropriate Provide external threads, so that tightening with the help an outer cover plate 14 with an internal thread and central Hole as well as with a clamping ring 15 with an internal thread can.
  • the air is in via an air supply pipe 20 the housing 13 and from there via an air inlet 17 in the Body 16 out.
  • the air inlet 17 is by means of a Sealing ring 18 made of rubber or the like in the conical Inlet 19 insertable and there with the help of the cover plate 14 securely clamped.
  • the air passes over the Air supply pipe 20 from below into a chamber of the housing 13 a, which upwards from the plate-shaped body 16 air-permeable porous material is covered.
  • the plate-shaped body 16 lies over a sealing ring 18 resilient on a shoulder of the housing 13 and can in this way with the help of the cover plate 14 be tightened. In both cases the exchange of the Body 16 possible in a simple manner, should it be defective or to be congested.
