In das Gehäuse 2 ist unterseitig ein Wasserauslassmundstück 5 eingesetzt, das gemäss Figur 4 eine Öffnung 14 für den Einsatz eines Siebes und am Umfang dazu mehrere vergleichsweise kleine Bohrungen 18 für einen Brausestrahl aufweist. Solche Auslassmundstücke 5 sind bekannt und brauchen nicht näher erläutert zu werden. According to FIG. 1, the water outlet fitting 1 has a head 2 on, which has a housing 2 and a housing cover 13 and which, as can be seen, is shaped like a pear and thus in one upper area is much narrower than in a lower area. In the housing 2 is a water outlet mouthpiece on the underside 5 used, which according to FIG. 4 has an opening 14 for the Use of a sieve and several comparative in scope has small holes 18 for a shower jet. Such outlet mouthpieces 5 are known and do not need to be explained in more detail to become.

Gemäss Figur 3 ist in eine obere Öffnung 22 des Gehäuses 2 ein rohrförmiges Wasserführungsteil 24 eingesetzt, das mit einer flexiblen Schlauchleitung 4 verbunden ist, die aus einem Rohrbogen 3 ausziehbar ist. Der Rohrbogen 3 ist beispielsweise auf einem hier nicht gezeigten Spültisch montiert und die Schlauchleitung 4 ist mit einer hier nicht gezeigten Versorgungsleitung verbunden. An einem hier nicht gezeigten Fuss des Rohrbogens 3 ist zudem ein Wasserhahn angeordnet, mit dem die Wasserzufuhr ein- und ausschaltbar ist. Der Kopf 2 kann in der in Figur 1 gezeigten Stellung verwendet werden. Er kann jedoch auch mit einer Hand gefasst und aus dem Rohrstück 3 zusammen mit der Schlauchleitung 4 herausgezogen werden. Die Verbindung zur Versorgungsleitung bleibt erhalten und mit dem ausgezogenen Kopf 2 können damit vorher nicht erreichbare Stellen erreicht werden. Die Schlauchleitung 4 ist mit einem hier nicht gezeigten Zug verbunden und kann sehr einfach wieder in die in Figur 1 gezeigte Stellung zurück gebracht werden.3 is in an upper opening 22 of the housing 2 tubular water guide member 24 used with a flexible hose 4 is connected, which consists of a pipe bend 3 is extendable. The pipe bend 3 is for example on one The sink, not shown here, is mounted and the hose line 4 is with a supply line, not shown here connected. On a foot of the pipe bend 3, not shown here there is also a tap with which the water supply can be switched on and off. The head 2 can be shown in FIG Position can be used. However, it can also be used with a Hand gripped and from the pipe section 3 together with the Hose line 4 are pulled out. The connection to the supply line remains and with the head pulled out 2 can be used to reach previously inaccessible places. The hose line 4 is with a train, not shown here connected and can very easily return to that shown in Figure 1 Position to be brought back.

Das Wasserführungsteil 24 ist über einen Kanal 11 mit einem Ventilkörper 25 verbunden, der von unten in das Gehäuse 2 eingesetzt ist und der an einer Halteplatte 16 fixiert ist. Das oben erwähnte Wasserauslassmundstück 5 ist auf den Ventilkörper 25 aufgeschraubt. Eine Spindel 30 weist ein stösselförmiges Ventilglied 9 auf, das gemäss Figur 4 eine Dichtung 10 aufweist und das in seiner Längsrichtung zwischen zwei Stellungen verschiebbar ist. In der einen Stellung strömt das Wasser in einen Raum 12 und verlässt diesen durch die Bohrungen 18. Hierdurch entsteht der genannte Brausestrahl.The water guide part 24 is via a channel 11 with a valve body 25 connected, inserted from below into the housing 2 and which is fixed to a holding plate 16. The above mentioned water outlet mouthpiece 5 is on the valve body 25 screwed. A spindle 30 has a tappet-shaped valve member 9, which according to FIG. 4 has a seal 10 and which is displaceable in its longitudinal direction between two positions is. In one position, the water flows into a room 12 and leaves it through the holes 18. This creates the shower spray mentioned.

Ist das Ventilglied 9 in der anderen hier nicht gezeigten Stellung, so strömt das Wasser durch einen hier nicht gezeigten Strahlbildner, der in die Öffnung 14 eingesetzt ist. Hierbei wird ein sogenannter Zentralstrahl gebildet. Zur Betätigung des Ventilgliedes 9 ist dieses an einem oberen Ende mit einem jochförmigen Steg 15 verbunden, der zwei nach oben ragende Arme 15a besitzt. Jeder Arm 15a ist gemäss Figur 5 an einem oberen Ende mittels eines Gelenkzapfens 23 mit einem Exzenterteil 17 verbunden, das im Abstand zum Zapfen 23 drehfest mit einer Achse 20 eines Bügels 6 verbunden ist. Der Bügel 6 weist zwei Zapfen 20 auf, die gemäss Figur 4 durch kreuzförmige Verlängerungen 21 durch das Gehäuse 2 hindurch nach innen ragen. Die Zapfen 20 greifen jeweils in ein am Wasserführungsteil 24 angeformtes Auge 26 ein, wie die Figur 5 zeigt. Das Drehlager des Bügels 6 befindet sich somit am Wasserführungsteil 24. Der Bügel 6 weist somit zwei Zapfen 20 auf, die gemäss Figur 4 nach innen ragen und die jeweils an einem Ansatz 21 des Gehäuses 2 drehbar gelagert sind. Die Zapfen 23 greifen jeweils in ein am Wasserführungsteil 24 angeformtes Auge 26 ein, wie die Figur 5 veranschaulicht. An jedem Exzenterteil 17 ist zudem im Abstand zum Zapfen 23 ein Rastnocken 19 angeformt, der mit zwei hier nicht gezeigte Raststellen des Wasserführungsteil 24 zusammenarbeitet.If the valve member 9 is in the other position, not shown here, so the water flows through one not shown here Beam former, which is inserted into the opening 14. in this connection a so-called central beam is formed. To operate the Valve member 9 is at an upper end with a yoke-shaped Web 15 connected, the two upstanding arms 15a has. According to FIG. 5, each arm 15a is at an upper end connected to an eccentric part 17 by means of a pivot pin 23, that at a distance from the pin 23 rotatably with an axis 20th a bracket 6 is connected. The bracket 6 has two pins 20 which, according to FIG. 4, has cruciform extensions 21 protrude inwards through the housing 2. The pins 20 each engage in an eye formed on the water guide part 24 26, as shown in FIG. 5. The pivot bearing of the bracket 6 is located thus on the water guide part 24. The bracket 6 thus points two pins 20 which protrude inwards according to FIG. 4 and which are each rotatably mounted on a shoulder 21 of the housing 2. The pins 23 each engage in one on the water guide part 24 molded eye 26, as illustrated in Figure 5. On everyone Eccentric part 17 is also at a distance from the pin 23 Locking cams 19 formed on, with two locking points not shown here of the water guide part 24 cooperates.

Der Bügel 6, der etwa U-förmig ausgebildet ist, ist zwischen den in Figur 3 angedeuteten Stellungen verschwenkbar. Der Schwenkwinkel, der in Figur 3 mit α bezeichnet ist, ist vorzugsweise kleiner als 45° und vorzugsweise etwa 20-25°. Ein optimaler Winkel beträgt etwa 23°. Der Schwenkwinkel α ist somit vergleichsweise klein. In beiden in Figur 3 gezeigten Endstellungen sind die beiden Nocken verrastet. Wie ersichtlich, ragt der Bügel 6 in der beiden in Figur 3 gezeigten Stellungen nach oben und befindet sich in einem oberen Bereich einer Frontseite 27 des Gehäuses 2. Wird der Kopf 2 mit der Hand gefasst, so befindet sich der Bügel 6 optimal im Bereich des Daumens und kann gemäss Pfeil 30 (Figur 1) mit diesem nach vorne und nach hinten verschwenkt werden. Bei dieser Bewegung wird über die Exzenterteile 17 der Steg 15 und mit diesem das Ventilglied 9 angehoben oder nach unten bewegt. Hierbei wird das Umstellventil 8 umgestellt. Die Exzenterteile 17 und der Steg 15 bilden somit eine Umsteuervorrichtung 28, mit welcher das Umstellventil 8 umgestellt werden kann. Die gezeigte Anordnung ermöglicht den oben genannten vergleichsweise kleinen Schwenkwinkel α. Trotzdem besteht die Armatur aus vergleichsweise wenigen Teilen und kann einfach montiert werden.The bracket 6, which is approximately U-shaped, is between the positions indicated in Figure 3 pivotable. The swivel angle, which is denoted by α in Figure 3 is preferred less than 45 ° and preferably about 20-25 °. An optimal angle is about 23 °. The pivot angle α is therefore comparatively small. In both end positions shown in Figure 3 are the two cams locked. As can be seen, the bracket 6 projects in the two positions shown in Figure 3 up and located itself in an upper area of a front side 27 of the housing 2. If the head 2 is gripped by hand, then there is the bracket 6 optimally in the area of the thumb and can according to the arrow 30 (Figure 1) with this pivoted forward and backward become. During this movement, the eccentric parts 17 of the Web 15 and with this the valve member 9 raised or down emotional. Here, the changeover valve 8 is changed over. The eccentric parts 17 and the web 15 thus form a reversing device 28 with which the changeover valve 8 can be changed over can. The arrangement shown enables the above mentioned comparatively small swivel angle α. Nevertheless, the valve is there from comparatively few parts and can be easily assembled become.
