Definitions

  • shower heads serve to provide a way to dispense the water used for showering at a particular location and / or in a particular manner.
  • showerheads There are many types of different showerheads. It is often tried to give the exiting water jets special properties in order to achieve an improved or more pleasant effervescent effect, or even to change the appearance only for visual reasons.
  • massage jets pulsating rays, rays in which the spray pattern can be adjusted or automatically change, etc.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a shower head, in which the spray pattern can be changed in a previously unknown manner.
  • the invention proposes a shower head with the features of claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims, the wording of which as well as the wording of the abstract is incorporated by reference into the content of the description.
  • the water jet emerging from the jet outlet opening moves in a continuously changing direction.
  • a closed line This causes a certain massage effect.
  • the body of the showering person is sprayed over a larger area with water, although the shower head in its position does not change.
  • an image different from the jet images of conventional showers arises.
  • the device for continuously changing the direction of the exiting jet with respect to the housing can be driven by the water flowing into and out of the shower head. There are therefore no additional facilities required.
  • the invention proposes that the water jet is moved so that it lies in the lateral surface of a cone. It may be advantageous to a cone that deviates from a circular cone.
  • the tip of the cone is approximately in the region of the jet disk, possibly also slightly offset in the interior of the housing of the shower head, is arranged. This makes it possible, on the one hand to create a very interesting spray pattern and on the other hand to build the housing small, since only a single relatively small opening for the exit of the beam is needed.
  • the jet looks particularly surprising if a cross section through the cone also has concave sections.
  • the change in the direction of the beam may be formed so that a cross section through the cone has approximately the shape of an eight.
  • the nozzle body is arranged so that the opening, from which the water jet emerges, is offset slightly inwards relative to the jet disk and / or the housing of the shower head. It can thus be achieved that the nozzle body is practically invisible during operation of the shower.
  • the shower head according to the invention is particularly, but not exclusively, as a permanently installed shower, for example as a side shower.
  • FIG. 1 shows in a longitudinal section the arrangement of a shower head according to the invention as a side shower.
  • the side shower is installed in an opening of a plate 1, which may, for example, be the side wall of a shower cubicle.
  • a plate 1 which may, for example, be the side wall of a shower cubicle.
  • the shower head includes a rear housing part 2, which has a flat-cylindrical section 3 with a part-spherical extension 4.
  • an inlet nozzle 5 is arranged, for example integrally formed. He goes into a connecting piece 6, where a water pipe can be attached.
  • the flat cylindrical portion 3 of the rear housing part 2 is provided on its outer side with an external thread 7.
  • In the region of its front end of the flat cylindrical portion 3 includes an outwardly directed flange 8.
  • the rear housing part 2 is inserted from the front through the opening in the plate 1 until it rests with the flange 8 at the edge of the opening. Subsequently, a nut 9 is screwed onto the external thread 7 from behind, which then fixes the rear housing part 4 in the opening of the plate 1.
  • a part-spherical distributor plate 10 is then inserted into the housing, which has individual openings for the passage of water.
  • a bottom part 11 which includes a rear part-spherical area with through openings 12 and a cylindrical skirt 13.
  • This bottom part 11 is in Fig. 2 shown from below or front.
  • the apron 13 includes at least one, preferably a plurality of obliquely radially extending slots 14 through which the water can flow obliquely into the interior of the skirt 13. In this interior also open the openings 12, in FIG. 1 can be seen in section.
  • the bottom contains around the openings 12 around a cam track 15 which has approximately the shape of an eight. This web has the same width everywhere.
  • the turbine 16 includes a ring member 17 extending into the interior of the housing through a bottom with a radial slot 18 is completed.
  • the radial slot 18 is in FIG. 1 to be seen in section, in FIG. 2 he is only hinted.
  • turbine blades 19 are mounted, which extend radially to the axis of symmetry of the housing and in its other extension axially.
  • the outside of the turbine blades 19 lie on a cylinder whose circumference corresponds approximately to the inner circumference of the skirt 13.
  • a nozzle body 20 is supported, which is composed of a front rounded portion 21 with a through bore 22 and a rear guide portion.
  • the guide section includes two webs 24, which merge into a pin 25 arranged symmetrically in extension of the bore 22.
  • the diameter of the pin 25 corresponds to the width of the cam track 15.
  • the dimensions of the nozzle body 20 are selected so that it is disposed within the turbine element 16 and engages with the pin 25 in the slot 15.
  • FIG. 1 shows the nozzle body 20 right of its center line in section and left in view.
  • the cap 26 is pushed onto the floor 11 until it rests with its edge on a shoulder. In this position, the cap 26 is secured by a front panel 28.
  • This front panel is with a circumferential skirt 29 in an internal thread of the flat cylindrical portion. 3 screwed the rear housing part 2.
  • a seal 33 is disposed between the housing part 2 and the front panel 28.
  • the cap 26 has on its inside the opening 27 surrounding a ring 31 which supports the front edge 32 of the turbine blades 19.
  • the turbine element 16 is therefore held in the axial direction within the housing.
  • the proposed by the invention and illustrated in the drawings device operates as follows.
  • the water flows through the inlet 5 into the interior of the housing 1 and through the various openings on.
  • the water entering through the obliquely radially arranged slots 14 impinges on the turbine blades 19 and sets the turbine in rotary motion.
  • the nozzle body is, since its pin 25 is held in a radial slot 18, taken in this rotational movement.
  • the orientation of the nozzle body 20 is determined by the engagement of its pin 25 in the link 15.
  • the water emerging from the opening 22 describes a figure that is geometrically similar to the figure of the scenery 15.
  • When hitting a body describes the water jet so a closed line, which corresponds in the example shown about an eight.
  • the water jet is located on the lateral surface of a cone, which is not a circular cone in the example shown.
  • the gate 15 it is possible to realize different shapes of the cone and thus the line along which the jet of water impinges on a surface.
  • the nozzle body 20 abuts with its front portion 21 on the edge of the opening 27.
  • the nozzle body is a separate part of the cap 26. It would also be conceivable to connect the nozzle body via a film hinge or a membrane with a jet disk so that the nozzle body does not rest on an opening, but by deformation of the membrane can join the prescribed by the guideways 15th movement.
