Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Brausekopfanordnung für Duschanlagen mit einem länglich ausgebildeten Brausekopf, der an einem Halter lösbar befestigt ist und eine längliche Wasseraustrittsfläche aufweist, wobei der Brausekopf so schmal ausgebildet ist dass er von einer Hand umfasst werden kann, und wobei die längliche Wasserauslassfläche mehrere Wasserdüsensätze für verschiedene Strahlbilder aufweist.The invention relates to a showerhead assembly for shower facilities with a elongated shower head, which is releasably attached to a holder and a has elongated water outlet surface, wherein the shower head is so narrow that it can be encompassed by one hand, and wherein the elongated water outlet surface comprises a plurality of water nozzle sets for different jet patterns.

Solche Brausekopfanordnungen sind in einer Vielzahl von Varianten bekannt. Sie enthalten normalerweise einen Brausekopf mit einem Stiel, der an einer Halterung, insbesondere Wandhalterung, aufgehängt ist, um den Brausekopf beim Duschen entweder feststehend an der Wand als Wandbrause oder nach dem Abnehmen als Handbrause zu benutzen. Der Stiel der Handbrause ist dabei nicht nur von einem Wandhalter abnehmbar, sondern dieser besteht meist aus einer Wandhalterstange, an der ein Halter für den Duschkopf in der Höhe verstellbar ist.Such showerhead assemblies are known in a variety of variations. she usually contain a shower head with a handle attached to a holder, especially wall mount, is suspended to the shower head when showering either fixed to the wall as a wall shower or after losing weight as Hand shower to use. The handle of the hand shower is not just one Removable wall holder, but this usually consists of a wall support rod, on which a holder for the shower head in height is adjustable.

Solche Handbrausen sind in der Regel verhältnismäßig klobig aufgebaut, insbesondere wenn sie mit mehreren, verschiedenen Strahlbildern ausgerüstet sind, die über ein Auswahlorgan wahlweise aktivierbar sind. Solche Handbrausen werden vom Benutzer fast ausschließlich am Stiel angefaßt, um die verschiedenen Körperpartien zu erreichen. Such hand showers are constructed relatively bulky in the rule, in particular if they are equipped with several, different jet images, the over a selection member are selectively activated. Such hand showers are from the Users touched almost exclusively on the stalk to the various parts of the body to reach.

Aus der DE-A-41 22 861 ist eine Handdusche in länglicher Form und mit länglicher Wasserauslaßfläche bekannt, die mit einem Bürstenaufsatz, einem Duschlotionsbehälter und zwei Düsensätzen für verschiedene Funktionen ausgerüstet ist. Durch einen Wahlschalter kann zum Einseifen der Wasserstrom über den Duschlotionsbehälter mit ersten Düsen im Bereich der Bürste verbunden werden, während zum normalen Duschen die Wasserzufuhr direkt mit Hauptdüsen verbunden werden kann.From DE-A-41 22 861 is a hand shower in elongated shape and with elongated Water outlet known with a brush attachment, a shower lotion container and two nozzle sets are equipped for different functions. By A selector switch can be used to lather the water stream over the shower lotion container to be connected with first nozzles in the area of the brush, while the normal showers connect the water supply directly to main nozzles can.

Die Auswahl erfolgt über einen axial verschiebbaren bolzenförmigen Ventilkörper. Der Bolzen des Ventilkörpers steht jedoch relativ weit aus dem Brausekopf hervor, da der Bolzen einen relativ großen Hub vollführen muss, um die im Inneren vorhandenen Ventilwege überwinden zu können. Die seitlichen Abmessungen des Brauskopfes sind daher verhältnismäßig hoch.The selection is made via an axially movable bolt-shaped valve body. The bolt of the valve body However, it is relatively far out of the shower head, since the bolt is a relatively large Hub must perform in order to overcome the existing inside valve paths can. The lateral dimensions of the shower head are therefore relatively high.

Ein weiterer Brausekopf mit einem drehbaren Auswahlorgan ist aus US 4,151,957 bekannt. Das Auswahlorgan ist hierbei außerhalb des Brausekopfes angeordnet. Femer ist die Drehachse des Auswahlorgans parallel zur Wasserauslassfläche ausgerichtet. Daher ist dieser Brausekopf insgesamt sehr klobig.Another shower head with a rotatable selection member is known from US 4,151,957. The selector is arranged outside the shower head. Femer is the axis of rotation of the selector aligned parallel to the water outlet surface. Therefore this is Shower head overall very chunky.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Brausekopfanordnung vorzuschlagen, die bei verhältnismäßig großer Wasserauslaßfläche wahlweise verschiedene Strahlbilder ermöglicht und eine sehr handliche Form hat.The present invention is based on the object, a showerhead assembly to propose that with a relatively large Wasserauslaßfläche optionally different Allows jet patterns and has a very handy shape.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß in dem Brausekopf ein um eine Drehachse drehbares Auswahlorgan zur Auswahl der einzelnen Strahlbilder angeordnet ist, wobei diese Drehachse im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Wasserauslassfläche angeordnet ist. Die längliche Wasserauslassfläche in Verbindung mit der Anordnung der Drehachse des Auswahlorgans im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Wasserauslassfläche ermöglicht es, eine große Anzahl von Wasserdüsen anzuordnen, ohne daß dabei die Handlichkeit leidet wie es bei manchen bekannten Handbrausen mit z.B. kreisförmiger Wasserauslaßfläche und verhältnismäßig großem Durchmesser der Fall ist.This object is achieved according to the present invention in that in the shower head a rotatable about a rotation selector member to select the individual Beam images is arranged, said axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to Water outlet surface is arranged. The elongated water outlet area in conjunction with the arrangement of the axis of rotation of the selector member substantially perpendicular to the water outlet surface allows it to arrange a large number of water nozzles, without causing the Handiness suffers as in some known hand showers with e.g. circular Water outlet and relatively large diameter is the case.

Die Wasserdüsen der Wasserdüsensätze sind auf der Wasserauslaßfläche vorzugsweise auf einem oder mehreren Kreisen oder auf einem oder mehreren Ovalen angeordnet, wobei diese Kreise oder Ovals mit den Wasserdüsen vorzugsweise etwa konzentrisch zueinander angeordnet sind. Diese Ausgestaltung hat vor allem den Vorteil, daß bei der Anordnung mehrerer Wasserdüsensätze für verschiedene Strahlbilder die Versorgung der einzelnen Wasserdüsensätze von einer Verteileranordnung auf einfache Weise realisiert werden. In diesem Fall sind den Wasserdüsensätzen Strahlversorgungseinrichtungen einzeln zugeordnet, die selektiv mit Wasser versorgt werden. Darüber hinaus ist ein Auswahlorgan vorgesehen, über das die Strahlversorgungseinrichtungen selektiv aktivierbar sind.The water nozzles of the water nozzle sets are preferably on the water outlet surface on one or more circles or on one or more ovals arranged, these circles or oval with the water nozzles preferably are arranged approximately concentric with each other. This embodiment has above all the advantage that in the arrangement of several water nozzle sets for different Jet images the supply of each water nozzle sets from a manifold assembly be realized in a simple way. In this case, the water nozzle sets Individually assigned beam supply devices that selectively with Be supplied with water. In addition, a selection body is provided via that the beam supply devices are selectively activated.

Die erfindungsgemäße Brausekopfanordnung ist gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Brausekopf lösbar mit einem Stiel verbunden ist, der an dem Halter, insbesondere einem Wandhalter befestigt ist. Der Stiel ist gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung mit einer Aufnahmegabel versehen, in die der Brausekopf einhängbar ist. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, den Brausekopf ohne Stiel abzunehmen und nach Gebrauch wieder in die Aufnahmegabel einzuhängen. Der Brausekopf kann dabei wie ein Stück Seife von einer Hand umfaßt und am Körper entlanggeführt werden. Diese Lösung mit einer Aufnahmegabel zur Aufnahme des Brausekopfes läßt sich bei einer Variante auch derart modifizieren, daß am Stiel zwei Aufnahmegabeln vorgesehen sind, so daß zwei gleiche oder verschiedene Brauseköpfe aufgehängt werden können.The showerhead assembly according to the invention is according to one further advantageous embodiment, characterized in that the shower head releasably connected to a handle, which on the holder, in particular a Wall holder is attached.

Der Stiel 4 ist gegenüber einem Halter 5 um eine (in der Zeichnung gesehen) senkrechte Achse schwenkbar und auch nach oben hin abnehmbar aufgehängt. Der Halter 5 ist in bekannter Weise an einer Wandhalterstange 3 verschiebbar angeordnet und in jeder Höhe stufenlos arretierbar. Im Bereich des Aufsteckteils 6 ist ein Versorgungsschlauch 8 befestigt.FIG. 1 shows the complete showerhead arrangement in which the invention Shower head 1 with a Aufsteckteil 6 in a receiving fork 4 for Holder can be inserted and removed, wherein the receiving fork 4 at a Stem 2 is attached. The stem 4 is opposite a holder 5 around a (in the Drawing seen) vertical axis pivotable and removable upwards suspended. The holder 5 is in a known manner to a wall support rod 3 slidably arranged and infinitely lockable at any height. in the Area of Aufsteckteils 6 a supply hose 8 is attached.

Wie insbesondere auch aus der Figur 2 hervorgeht, weist der Brausekopf 1 auf der Unterseite eine Wasserauslaßfläche 10 mit Wasserdüsensätzen 11, 21, 13 mit einer Vielzahl von Wasserdüsen auf, die über die Wasserauslaßfläche verteilt sind. Figur 2 zeigt insbesondere, daß auf der ovalen Wasserauslaßfläche 10 ein äußerer Ring von Wasserdüsen eines ersten Wasserdüsensatzes 11 vorgesehen ist, während weiter innen ein zweiter Ring von Wasserdüsen eines zweiten Wasserdüsensatzes 12 liegen. Im Zentrum der Wasserauslaßfläche 10 ist ein dritter Wasserdüsensatz 13 mit einer großen Wasserdüse 13 angeordnet, wobei alle drei Wasserdüsensätze 11, 12 und 13 konzentrisch zueinander angeordnet sind.As is apparent in particular from Figure 2, the shower head 1 on the Bottom of a water outlet 10 with water nozzle sets 11, 21, 13 with a plurality of water nozzles, which are distributed over the water outlet. Figure 2 shows in particular that on the oval water outlet surface 10 an outer Ring of water nozzles of a first water nozzle set 11 is provided while further inside, a second ring of water nozzles of a second water nozzle set 12 lie. In the center of the water outlet 10 is a third set of water nozzles 13 arranged with a large water nozzle 13, with all three water nozzle sets 11, 12 and 13 are arranged concentrically with each other.

In Figur 1 sind schematisch (strichpunktiert) Strahlversorgungseinrichtungen 11a, 12a und 13a angedeutet, die die zugeordneten Wasserdüsensätze 11, 12 und 13 mit Wasser versorgen. Über ein Auswahlorgan 7 in Form eines kreisförmigen oder sektorförmigen Selektierrades werden die Strahlversorgungseinrichtungen 11a, 12a und 13a wahlweise mit der Wasserversorgung über den Schlauch 8 verbunden. Das Selektierrad 7 steht seitlich über den ovalförmigen Brausekopf 1 über, so daß es leicht mit der Hand verdreht werden kann, um jeweils einen der Wasserdüsensätze 11, 12 und 13 auszuwählen. In einer weiteren Ausführungsform (nicht dargestellt) sind in dem Brausekopf 1 seitliche Aussparungen bzw. Vertiefungen vorgesehen, über die das Selektierrad 7 betätigt werden kann. In diesem Fall braucht das Selektierrad 7 nicht über den ovalförmigen Brausekopf 1 überzustehen.FIG. 1 schematically shows (dot-dash lines) jet supply devices 11a, 12a and 13a indicated that the associated water nozzle sets 11, 12 and 13th supply with water. Via a selection member 7 in the form of a circular or sector-shaped Selektierrades be the beam supply devices 11a, 12a and 13a optionally connected to the water supply via the hose 8. The Selektierrad 7 is laterally beyond the oval-shaped shower head 1, so that It can easily be twisted by hand to each one of the water nozzle sets 11, 12 and 13 to select. In a further embodiment (not shown) are in the shower head 1 side recesses or depressions provided over which the Selektierrad 7 can be operated. In this case does not need the Selektierrad 7 überzutehen on the oval-shaped shower head 1.

Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind den drei Wasserdüsensätzen 11, 12 und 13 drei verschiedene Strahlbilder zugeordnet, und zwar sorgen die Wasserdüsen 1 für ein normales Strahlbild, die Wasserdüsen 12 für ein nebelartiges Strahlbild und die Wasserdüsen 13 für ein laminares Strahlbild.In the present embodiment, the three water nozzle sets 11, 12 and 13 assigned three different spray patterns, and indeed ensure the water jets. 1 for a normal spray pattern, the water nozzles 12 for a mist-like spray pattern and the water nozzles 13 for a laminar jet pattern.

Während im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel, wie insbesondere in Figur 2 zu sehen ist, die Wasserdüsensätze 11, 12 und 13 über die volle, im wesentlichen ovalförmige Wasserauslaßfläche 10 verteilt sind, ist es auch möglich, die Verteilung anders, z.B. kreisförmig vorzusehen. Die konzentrische Anordnung der Wasserdüsensätze 11, 12 und 13 läßt es auf einfache Weise zu, die dazugehörigen Strahlversorgungseinrichtungen 11a, 12a und 13a wahlweise mit Wasser aus dem Schlauch 8 zu versorgen und hierbei auf einfache Weise durch das Selektierrad 7 auszuwählen. While in the present embodiment, in particular in Figure 2 to See, the water nozzle sets 11, 12 and 13 over the full, essentially oval-shaped water outlet 10 are distributed, it is also possible the distribution different, e.g. to provide circular. The concentric arrangement of Water nozzle sets 11, 12 and 13 allows it in a simple way, the associated Jet supply devices 11a, 12a and 13a optionally with water from the To supply hose 8 and this in a simple way by the Selektierrad. 7 select.

Die lösbare Aufhängung des Brausekopfes 1 am Stiel 2 bringt große Vorteile, da dann der Brausekopf 1 beim Abnehmen vom Stiel verhältnismäßig klein und leicht ist, so daß er ohne große Mühe mit einer Hand erfaßt und um den Körper herum geführt werden kann.The detachable suspension of the shower head 1 on the stem 2 brings great benefits since then the shower head 1 when removing the stem relatively small and light so that he easily grasps with one hand and around the body can be performed.
