Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand shower with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a shower with these features is off FR 817 232 known.
  • Hand showers are usually used for targeted shedding of the body.
  • the hand shower is usually manually guided along the body or held in a desired position.
  • the hand shower In conjunction with known wall bars and height-adjustable Aufsteckvoruzeen hand showers can be fixed in certain positions relative to the shower end and z.
  • B. fulfill the function of an overhead shower. In this application, both hands of the showerer can remain free.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a hand shower, in the simplest possible way allows a variable orientation of the shower jets with the shower head and thus can be used as a head, hand or side shower when fixed to a wall bar.
  • the hand shower should also be relatively easy and inexpensive to produce, in contrast to known elaborate shower systems with head, hand and side shower function.
  • the ease of use of the hand shower is considerably expanded.
  • the holder of the shower head on an inclined to the handle axis of rotation allows for a fixation of the hand shower on a wall rod to direct the shower jets targeted to any body part. This part of the body can now be acted on as desired by effervescent jets, leaving the hands of the showerer free.
  • the manual handling of the hand shower according to the invention is also much easier, since the bending of the wrist of the user, which has hitherto been required in conventional hand showers, can be significantly minimized by turning the shower head. Furthermore, by turning the head by 180 ° relative to the starting position one for cleaning shower and / or bathtub optimum position of the shower head.
  • the shower head can be provided with several spray jet generating systems.
  • two water chambers with different shower jet nozzles can be formed in the shower head, which can be acted upon selectively via a switching valve with the incoming shower water.
  • the switching valve may be provided in the region of the handle and be operable by a membrane button on the handle.
  • a membrane key it is also possible with such a membrane key a Mengenregulierventil for the inflow of shower water to a shower head with a effervescent spray generation system can be actuated.
  • connection housing can be provided in the hand shower according to the invention, on the one hand a shower hose for the supply of shower water and on the other hand on the axis of rotation a shower head can be connected.
  • the handle can be pushed onto the connection housing as a one-part or multi-part sleeve or grip shell and locked in the inserted position.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 shown hand shower is a shower head 1 rotatably connected to a handle 2.
  • a shower hose - not shown in the drawing - for the introduction of the shower water introduced.
  • the shower head 1 is connected on a rotation axis 3 by 360 ° rotatably connected to the handle 2, wherein in all rotational positions of the incoming shower water can enter via a channel in the shower head 1.
  • the rotation axis 3 is arranged at an angle 30 of approximately 45 ° inclined to the axis 20 of the handle 2.
  • the handle 2 is formed curved, wherein in the region of the rotation axis 3, a circular, perpendicular to the axis of rotation connecting surface 22 is formed.
  • the connection surface 22 is arranged approximately parallel to a central axis 21 at the upstream end region of the handle 2.
  • the shower head 1 is formed spherical-sphere-shaped and attached with a corresponding flat end face on the connection surface 22.
  • a second circular end face, inclined to the first end face, for a shower base 12 is formed on the shower head 1.
  • water jet nozzles are formed which are approximately parallel to the axis 10 on the shower tray 12th escape.
  • the axis 10 is in this case arranged at an angle 31 of approximately 45 ° inclined to the axis of rotation 3.
  • the shower head 1 can thus be directed both backwards in relation to its rotational position - with respect to the central axis 21 ( FIG. 1 ) as well as forward ( FIG. 2 ).
  • the shower head 1 can be rotated on the rotation axis 3 by 360 °, with infinitely intermediate positions can be selected.
  • the shower head 1 is provided in the region of the rotation axis 3 and the water supply with O-rings, on the one hand secure the water supply, on the other hand give the shower head 1 a certain stiffness, so that an automatic rotation of the shower head 1 excluded, but a desired twisting by hand is possible.
  • FIG. 4 the surge shower system is shown in operation, wherein a shower hose 4 is connected to a connection housing 23.
  • a switching valve 24 is formed, with which the incoming shower water can optionally be fed to a first annular channel 230 or a second annular channel 231.
  • the switching valve 24 is in this case with a Compressive spring 240 loaded, so that when shut off the shower water inflow, the closure member of the switching valve 24 in a preferred position, namely the Normalbrausewolf is returned.
  • the closure member is in this case designed so that the flow pressure of the incoming effervescent water keeps it, contrary to the spring pressure, in the selected position, as in FIG. 4 the drawing is shown.
  • the incoming shower water thus passes into the annular channel 231 and from here via an opening 150 into a water chamber 15. From here, the shower water is discharged via the water outlet slot 11 as a surge shower jet.
  • the shower head 1 is in this case with a flat end face 13 against a circular connection surface 22 of the connection housing 23. In this position, the shower head 1 by a bolt 16 which is arranged on the rotation axis 13, held.
  • the individual annular channels 231, 230 are sealed in a known manner with O-rings against each other and to the outside.
  • the shower head 1 can thus be rotated on the rotation axis 3 by 360 °, without the connection between the annular channel 231 and the water chamber 15 is interrupted.
  • the shower water flow is shut off on a shower mixer, not shown in the drawing, so the spring 240 pushes the closure member of the changeover valve 24 in the preferred position, as they are made FIG. 5 the drawing is visible.
  • the shower water flow is then released again, then The shower water now flows through the annular channel 230 and an opening 140 in a water chamber 14, which is closed downstream of a shower base 12 in a known manner.
  • a plurality of water jet nozzles 120 are formed from which a normal shower jet is discharged approximately coaxially to the axis 10.
  • the shower head can be rotated by 360 ° about the axis of rotation 3, without the water flow from the annular channel 230 is interrupted in the water chamber 14, as it out FIGS. 5 and 6 the drawing is visible.
  • connection housing 23 of the handle 2 is designed as a multi-part sleeve or as a multi-part handle shell.
  • the handle 2 can be pushed from the shower hose 4 on the terminal housing 23 and locked in the inserted position by means of locking lugs 25 on a formed on the connection housing 23 flange ring 232 in the inserted position.
  • a membrane key is also formed, with which the switching valve 24 is actuated.
  • the hand shower described above can be inserted with a cone 26 formed at the upstream end portion of the handle 2 in a shower holder 51 and thus used as a stationary overhead shower or side shower.
  • FIG. 7 the drawing is such a wall bar 5, installed on a Building wall 50, shown.
  • On the vertically arranged wall rod 5 axially displaceable and fixable in the desired position shower holder 51 are provided, in which the hand shower with the cone 26 can be inserted.
  • the shower head 1 is shown as a surge shower during operation.
  • the middle hand shower is in the normal shower position and is shown as an overhead shower in operation.
  • the lower hand shower is in the normal shower position in operation, wherein the shower head 1 assumes a side shower position, d. h the effervescent jets are emitted perpendicular to the wall bar 5.
