Description

Brauseköpfe enthalten Wasserführungen, die das aus dem Brauseschlauch kommende Wasser zu den Strahlöffnungen führen, die in der Strahlscheibe angeordnet sind. Durch die Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Strahlarten mit belüfteten Strahlen, Massagestrahlen und dgl. und durch die Umschalteinrichtungen werden die Wasserführungen in den Brauseköpfen immer komplizierter. Dies führt dazu, dass das aus den Strahlenaustrittsöffnungen austretende Wasser stark verwirbelt ist. Dies führt wiederum dazu, dass sich kein optisch ansprechendes Strahlbild bildet.Shower heads contain water ducts that come from the Lead the incoming water hose to the jet openings, which are arranged in the jet disc. Because of the variety of different jet types with ventilated jets, Massage jets and the like. And through the switching devices the water channels in the shower heads are becoming more and more complicated. This causes that from the beam exit openings escaping water is strongly swirled. This in turn means that there is no optically appealing Forms a spray pattern.

Es ist bei einem Brausekopf bekannt, ein Bodenteil mit Wasserdurchtrittsöffnungen vorzusehen, der aus einem elastischen Material besteht (DE-A1 4406966). Um das Entfernen von Kalkablagerungen zu erleichtern, greift ein Vorsprung durch die Strahlaustrittsöffnung hindurch, der von der Aussenseite her angefasst und verformt werden kann.It is known for a shower head to have a base part Provide water passage openings made of an elastic Material consists (DE-A1 4406966).
