Abstract

The side-mounted shower head (1) is connected to the water supply (1) by a quick coupling (6, 7, 20 - 24), especially a bayonet fitting. The pipes (13, 14, 18, 19) which carry the water cooperate with each other to ensure correct alignment.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Brausekopf nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a shower head according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Brauseköpfe sind in unterschiedlichster Art vom Markt her bekannt; sie besitzen im allgemeinen ein einteiliges Gehäuse; wo ausnahmsweise das Gehäuse mehrteilig ausgebildet ist, dient diese Mehrteiligkeit dazu, bestimmte Elemente, so etwa einen in seiner Richtung verstellbaren Düseneinsatz, entnehmen bzw. fixieren zu können.Shower heads are known in many different ways from the market; they generally have a one-piece housing; where exceptionally, the housing is formed in several parts, this multi-part serves to certain elements, such as an adjustable in his direction nozzle insert to remove or fix.

Die Befestigung derartiger Brauseköpfe an der gebäudeseitigen Wasserzuführleitung geschieht bisher auf zwei unterschiedliche Arten: Bei der ersten Art wird der als Hohlbuchse ausgebildete Anschlußnippel des Gehäuses einfach in axialer Richtung auf einen überstehenden Steckabschnitt der gebäudeseitigen Wasserzuführleitung aufgeschoben und dort mit Hilfe einer Madenschraube gesichert. Diese Befestigungsart eignet sich insbesondere auch für nichtrotationssymmetrische Brauseköpfe, bei denen also die Winkelstellung gegenüber der Wasserzuführleitung nicht gleichgültig ist. Bei der zweiten Befestigungsart ist der Anschlußnippel mit einem Außengewinde versehen und wird, hanfgedichtet, in ein komplementäres Innengewinde am Ende der gebäudeseitigen Wasserzuführleitung eingedreht. In beiden Fällen weist das Gehäuse des Brausekopfes einen an die Gebäudewand anlegbaren, die Anschlußstelle zur Wasserzuführleitung rosettenartig verbergenden Bereich auf.The attachment of such shower heads on the building water supply line done so far in two different ways: In the first type of trained as a hollow bushing nipple of the housing is simply pushed in the axial direction on a protruding plug portion of the building water supply line and secured there with the aid of a grub screw. This type of attachment is particularly suitable for non-rotationally symmetrical shower heads, in which therefore the angular position relative to the water supply is not indifferent. In the second type of attachment, the nipple is provided with an external thread and is, hanfgedichtet, screwed into a complementary internal thread at the end of the building water supply line. In both cases, the housing of the shower head has an attachable to the building wall, the connection point to the water supply line rosette-like concealing area.

Beide oben geschilderten Befestigungsarten setzen die Fachkunde eines Fachmannes voraus und sind zudem verhältnismäßig zeitraubend. Das Abnehmen des Brausekopfes z.B. zu Reinigungs- oder Wartungszwecken oder, um ihn gegen eine andere Art von Brausekopf auszutauschen, kann daher nicht rasch auch von einem Laien duchgeführt werden.Both types of attachment described above require the expertise of a professional and are also relatively time-consuming. The removal of the shower head, for example, for cleaning or maintenance purposes, or to exchange it for a different type of shower head, therefore, can not be performed quickly by a layman.

Ein Brausekopf der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der GB 2 311 576 A bekannt geworden. Dort wird eine Halterung mittels einer Gewindehülse auf eine gebäudeseitige Wasserzuführleitung geschraubt und an einer genau zu ermittelnden Stelle festgelegt und ggf. über Schrauben mit der Wand verbunden. Die Halterung weist bajonettartige Ausnehmungen auf, in welche komplementär ausgebildete Vorsprünge eines Haltearms eingreifen, welcher den Brausekopf trägt. Dadurch kann der Brausekopf auch von einem Laien ohne Werkzeug montiert und demontiert oder durch einen anderen Brausekopf ersetzt werden. Der Haltearm ist von einer Abdeckung umgeben, welche zur Gebäudewand hin aufgeweitet ist, die Halterung von außen umgreift und so die Bajonettverbindung abdeckt. Das wandseitige Ende der Abdeckung bildet zugleich den Anschluss an die Wand; hier kann gegebenenfalls Wasser zwischen wand und Abdeckung eindringen, falls die Abdeckung nicht ganz zur Wand reicht. Wenn der Brausekopf durch einen anderen Brausekopf ersetzt werden soll, der eine etas längere Abdeckung aufweist, gelingt die Montage unter Umständen nur dem Fachmann, der die Halterung von der Wasserzuführleitung zunächst löst und an einer anderen Stelle wieder festlegt.A shower head of the type mentioned is from the GB 2 311 576 A known. There, a holder is screwed by means of a threaded sleeve on a building side water supply and fixed at a precise location to be determined and possibly connected by screws with the wall. The holder has bayonet-like recesses into which engage complementarily formed projections of a holding arm, which carries the shower head. As a result, the shower head can also be assembled and disassembled by a layman without tools or replaced by another shower head. The holding arm is surrounded by a cover, which is widened towards the building wall, the holder engages from the outside and thus covers the bayonet connection. The wall-side end of the cover also forms the connection to the wall; If necessary, water can penetrate between the wall and the cover if the cover does not reach the wall. If the shower head is to be replaced by another shower head, which has a longer cover Etas, the installation may be possible only to the skilled person who first dissolves the holder of the water supply and fixed again at another point.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Brausekopf der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß nach einer anfänglichen, vom Fachmann durchzuführenden Installation alle Wartungs- und sonstigen Arbeiten auch von einem Nichtfachmann in kurzer Zeit durchgeführt werden können.Object of the present invention is to provide a shower head of the type mentioned in such a way that after an initial, to be carried out by the expert installation all maintenance and other work by a non-specialist in a short time can be performed.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Brausekopf mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a shower head with the features of claim 1.

Der Brausekopf ist somit zweigeteilt, nämlich in ein Anschlußelement, das nach einer Erstinstallation, die durch den Fachmann durchzuführen ist, in Verbindung mit der Wasserzuführleitung an der Gebäudewand verbleibt, und einen Kopfteil, in dem die eigentliche Brausefunktion realisiert ist. Das Anschlußelement kann ein standardisiertes, für verschiedene Arten von Kopfteilen, die sich funktionsmäßig unterscheiden, einheitliches Bauelement sein. Wassermäßig verbunden sind Anschlußelement und Kopfteil über zusätzliche, komplementäre Wasserüberleitungseinrichtungen, die ineinander steckbar sind. Nach Öffnen des Schnellverschlusses kann also der zum Kopfteil gehörige Teil der Wasserüberleitungseinrichtungen einfach aus dem zum Anschlußelement gehörenden Teil der Wasserüberleitungseinrichtungen herausgezogen werden; das Kopfteil ist dann vom Anschlußelement getrennt und kann gegebenenfalls gewartet werden. Umgekehrt kann das gewartete Kopfteil oder auch ein anderes, sich funktionsmäßig unterscheidendes Kopfteil an dem Anschlußelement einfach dadurch befestigt werden, daß sein Teil der Wasserüberleitungseinrichtungen in das dem Anschlußelement zugehörige Teil der Wasserüberleitungseinrichtungen eingesteckt und sodann der Schnellverschluß geschlossen wird. All dies kann vom Laien in kurzer Zeit durchgeführt werden.The shower head is thus divided into two, namely in a connection element, which remains after an initial installation, which is performed by the skilled person, in connection with the water supply to the building wall, and a head part, in which the actual showering function is realized. The connection element may be a standardized component, which is standardized for different types of head parts which differ functionally. Water-moderately connected connection element and headboard via additional, complementary water transfer devices that are plugged into each other. After opening the quick release so belonging to the head part of the water transfer devices can be easily pulled out of the terminal belonging to the part of the water transfer devices; the head part is then separated from the connection element and can be serviced if necessary. Conversely, the waiting headboard or other, differing functionally headboard can be attached to the connection element simply by plugging its part of the water transfer devices into the connection element associated part of the water transfer devices and then the quick release is closed. All this can be done by the layman in a short time.

Der Schnellverschluß ist dabei als Bajonettverschluß ausgebildet. Die Funktionsweise eines derartigen Bajonettverschlusses ist auch technisch weniger vorgebildeten Personen bekannt und daher leicht zu erklären.The quick release is designed as a bayonet lock. The operation of such a bayonet closure is also known technically less well-educated people and therefore easy to explain.

Am Anschlußelement ist ein zylindrisches Verbindungskragen vorgesehen, der zwei in einer radialen Richtung überstehende Halterippen und zwei zwischen diesen liegende Einführungsöffnungen aufweist, wobei der Kopfteil komplementär hierzu zwei in entgegengesetzter Richtung radial überstehende Halterippen und zwei zwischen diesen liegende Einführungsöffnungen aufweist. Diese Halterippen, die auf einem, den Wasserströmungsweg umgebenden Radius liegen, bilden eine besonders stabile Art eines Bajonettverschlusses. Sie lassen sich problemlos spritztechnisch herstellen.At the connection element is a cylindrical connecting collar provided, which has two in a radial direction projecting retaining ribs and two insertion openings therebetween, wherein the head portion complementary thereto two radially opposite in the opposite direction holding ribs and two lying therebetween insertion openings. These retaining ribs, which lie on a radius surrounding the water flow path, form a particularly stable type of bayonet closure. They can be easily produced by injection molding.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das Anschlußelement eine an die Gebäudewand anlegbare Anschlußplatte auf, welche einen größeren Durchmesser aufweist als der Kragen samt Halterippen, wobei die Halterippen des Kopfteiles an einem schalenartigen, zum Anschlußelement hin offenen Verbindungsteil angeordnet sind, dessen Außendurchmesser dem Außendurchmesser der Anschlußplatte des Anschlußelements entspricht. Ist das Kopfteil an dem Anschlußelement befestigt, so bilden dadurch die Anschlußplatte des Anschlußelementes und das schalenartige Verbindungsteil des Kopfteiles eine geschlossene, hohle, den Bajonettverschluß verbergende Rosette, welche gleichzeitig die Anschlußstelle in der Gebäudewand verdeckt.According to the invention, the connecting element can be applied to the building wall connecting plate, which has a larger diameter than the collar together with retaining ribs, wherein the retaining ribs of the head part are arranged on a shell-like, connection element open towards the connecting part whose outer diameter corresponds to the outer diameter of the connecting plate of the connecting element. If the head part is fastened to the connecting element, then the connecting plate of the connecting element and the shell-like connecting part of the head part form a closed, hollow rosette hiding the bayonet closure, which simultaneously conceals the connecting point in the building wall.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist ein Anschlag vorgesehen, der die Verdrehbarkeit des Kopfteils gegenüber dem Anschlußelement in einer Drehrichtung begrenzt. Die Funktionsposition des Kopfteiles ist in diesem Falle also dann zuverlässig erreicht, wenn das Kopfteil sich gegenüber dem Anschlußelement nicht mehr weiter verdrehen läßt.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a stop is provided which limits the rotatability of the head part relative to the connecting element in a rotational direction. The functional position of the head part is thus reliably achieved in this case, when the head part can no longer be rotated relative to the connecting element.

Die Wasserüberleitungseinrichtungen können einen zylindrischen Anschlußnippel an einem der beiden Teile und eine komplementäre zylindrische Bohrung im anderen der beiden Teile umfassen. Die Rotationssymmetrie der wasserüberleitungseinrichtungen ist deshalb wichtig, weil ja bei einer Bajonettverbindung zwischen Anschlußelement und Kopfteil letzteres eine Drehbewegung ausführen können muß.The water transfer devices may have a cylindrical nipple on one of the two parts and a Complementary cylindrical bore in the other of the two parts. The rotational symmetry of the water transfer devices is important because yes in a bayonet connection between the connection element and the head part the latter must be able to perform a rotary motion.

Wenn die Wasserdurchtrittsöffnung im Anschlußelement einen im Querschnitt unrunden Bereich besitzt, läßt sich letzterer beim Befestigen des Anschlußelementes auf dem äußeren Ende der Wasserzuführleitung als Ansatzpunkt für ein Werkzeug verwenden.If the water passage opening in the connection element has a non-circular cross-section, the latter can be used when attaching the connection element on the outer end of the water supply as a starting point to use for a tool.

Der in der Zeichnung dargestellte Seitenbrause-Kopf umfaßt ein Anschlußelement 1 sowie ein Kopfteil 2.The overhead showerhead shown in the drawing comprises a connection element 1 and a head part 2.

Das Anschlußelement 1 ist ein einstückiges Teil mit einem Gewinde-Anschlußnippel 3, einer Anschlußplatte 4 und einem zylindrischen Verbindungskragen 5. An den Verbindungskragen 5 sind, diametral gegenüberliegend, zwei Halterippen 6, 7 angeformt, zwischen denen Einführungsöffnungen 8, 9 verbleiben. Zwischen den Halterippen 6, 7 und der Anschlußplatte 4 liegen Haltenuten 10, 11. Die Haltenuten 10, 11 sind an einem Ende durch eine Abschlußwand 12 verschlossen. Ihre Breite verringert sich von einem zum anderen Ende dadurch, daß die die Haltenuten 10, 11 begrenzende Seitenfläche der Halterippen 6, 7 schraubenartig verläuft.The connecting element 1 is an integral part with a threaded connection nipple 3, a connection plate 4 and a cylindrical connecting collar 5. At the connecting collar 5, diametrically opposite, two retaining ribs 6, 7 are formed, between which insertion openings 8, 9 remain. Between the retaining ribs 6, 7 and the connection plate 4 are retaining grooves 10, 11. The retaining grooves 10, 11 are closed at one end by a closure wall 12. Its width decreases from one end to the other in that the retaining surfaces 10, 11 limiting side surface of the retaining ribs 6, 7 extends helically.

Das gesamte Anschlußelement 1 wird von einer Wasserdurchtrittsbohrung 13 durchsetzt, die an dem in der Zeichnung rechten Ende mit einem zylindrischen Bereich beginnt und an dem in der Zeichnung linken Ende, also am freien Ende des Gewinde-Anschlußnippels 3, eine Mehrkantöffnung 14 aufweist.The entire connection element 1 is penetrated by a water passage bore 13 which starts at the right in the drawing end with a cylindrical portion and at the left end in the drawing, ie at the free end of the threaded connection nipple 3, a polygonal opening 14 has.

Das Kopfteil 2 des Seitenbrause-Kopfes besitzt ein sich trichterförmig erweiterendes Gehäuse 15, an dessen Stirnseite ein Brauseboden 16 mit einer Vielzahl von Wasserdüsen 17 in bekannter Weise angebracht ist.The head part 2 of the side shower head has a funnel-shaped widening housing 15, on whose front side a shower base 16 is mounted with a plurality of water nozzles 17 in a known manner.

Koaxial an das Gehäuse 15 ist ein zylindrischer Anschlußnippel 18 angesetzt, der an seiner Umfangsfläche eine Dichtung 19 trägt. Der Durchmesser des Anschlußnippels 18 entspricht dem Durchmesser der Wasserdurchtrittsbohrung 13 des Anschlußelementes 1 in deren zylindrischem Bereich.Coaxially to the housing 15, a cylindrical connecting nipple 18 is attached, which carries a seal 19 on its peripheral surface. The diameter of the connecting nipple 18 corresponds to the diameter of the water passage bore 13 of the connecting element 1 in its cylindrical region.

Koaxial zum Anschlußnippel 18 ist ein schalenartiges Verbindungsteil 20 vorgesehen, das sich in den Figuren 1 und 2 nach links, also in Richtung auf das Anschlußelement 1, öffnet. An seinem freien Rand trägt das Verbindungselement 20 zwei radial nach innen ragende Halterippen 21, 22, zwischen denen Einführungsöffnungen 23, 24 verbleiben. Der Winkel, über den sich die Halterippen 21, 22 des Kopfteiles 2 erstrecken, ist etwas kleiner als die Winkelerstreckung der Einführungsöffnungen 8, 9 des Anschlußelementes 1; der Winkel, über den sich die Einführungsöffnungen 23, 24 des Kopfteiles 2 erstrecken, ist andererseits etwas kleiner als die Winkelerstreckung der Halterippen 6, 7 des Anschlußelementes 1.Coaxial with the connection nipple 18, a shell-like connecting part 20 is provided which opens in the figures 1 and 2 to the left, ie in the direction of the connecting element 1. At its free edge, the connecting element 20 carries two radially inwardly projecting retaining ribs 21, 22, between which insertion openings 23, 24 remain. The angle over which the retaining ribs 21, 22 of the head part 2 extend is slightly smaller than the angular extent of the insertion openings 8, 9 of the connecting element 1; the angle over which the insertion openings 23, 24 of the head part 2 extend, on the other hand, is slightly smaller than the angular extent of the retaining ribs 6, 7 of the connecting element first

Der in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellte und oben beschriebene Seitenbrause-Kopf wird wie folgt montiert:The overhead showerhead shown in Figures 1 and 2 and described above is assembled as follows:

Zunächst wird das Anschlußelement 1 an der Wand einer Brausekabine angebracht und mit der Wasserzuführleitung verbunden. Hierzu wird sein Gewinde-Anschlußnippel 3 mit Hilfe des dort befindlichen Außengewindes ggfs. unter Hanfabdichtung in ein entsprechendes komplementäres Gewinde der Wasserzuführleitung eingedreht. Dabei wird ein geeignetes Werkzeug durch die Wasserdurchtrittsbohrung 13 des Anschlußelementes 1 bis in deren Mehrkantausnehmung 14 eingeführt. Die der Gebäudewand zugekehrte Fläche der Anschlußplatte 4 legt sich dabei rosettenartig über die Anschlußstelle.First, the terminal element 1 is attached to the wall of a shower cabin and connected to the water supply. For this purpose, his threaded connection nipple 3 with Help of the external thread located there, if necessary, under hemp seal screwed into a corresponding complementary thread of the water supply. In this case, a suitable tool is inserted through the water passage bore 13 of the connecting element 1 into its polygonal recess 14. The wall of the building facing the surface of the terminal plate 4 sets this rosette on the connection point.

In einem zweiten Schritt wird der Anschlußnippel 18 des Kopfteiles 2 von außen her in die Wasserdurchtrittsbohrung 13 des Anschlußelementes 1 eingeführt; die Dichtung 19 kommt dabei an der Mantelfläche dieser Wasserdurchtrittsbohrung 13 zu liegen und dichtet das Anschlußelement 1 gegen das Kopfteil 2 ab. Die Halterippen 6, 7 werden bei dieser Axialbewegung des Kopfteiles 2 durch die Einführungsöffnungen 23, 24 des Kopfteiles 2 hindurchgeführt; gleichzeitig treten die Halterippen 21, 22 des Kopfteiles 2 durch die Einführungsöffnungen 8, 9 des Anschlußelementes 1 hindurch. Mit einer abschließenden Verdrehung wandern die Halterippen 21, 22 des Kopfteiles 2 in die Haltenuten 10, 11 hinter den Halterippen 6, 7, bis sie an den Abschlußwänden 12 dieser Haltenuten 10, 11 anstoßen. Aufgrund der Schraubenform der einen Begrenzungswand der Haltenuten 10, 11 wird dabei das Kopfteil 2 gegen das Anschlußelement 1 gezogen.In a second step, the nipple 18 of the head part 2 is inserted from the outside into the water passage bore 13 of the connecting element 1; the seal 19 comes to lie on the lateral surface of this water passage bore 13 and seals the connecting element 1 against the head part 2 from. The holding ribs 6, 7 are guided through the insertion openings 23, 24 of the head part 2 in this axial movement of the head part 2; At the same time, the retaining ribs 21, 22 of the head part 2 pass through the insertion openings 8, 9 of the connecting element 1. With a final rotation, the retaining ribs 21, 22 of the head part 2 move into the retaining grooves 10, 11 behind the retaining ribs 6, 7, until they abut against the end walls 12 of these retaining grooves 10, 11. Due to the helical shape of a boundary wall of the retaining grooves 10, 11 while the head part 2 is pulled against the connecting element 1.

Die Halterippen 6, 7 des Anschlußelementes 1 und die Halterippen 21, 22 des Kopfteiles 2 bilden also zusammen mit den jeweiligen Einführungsöffnungen 8, 9 bzw. 23, 24 eine Art Bajonettverschluß.The retaining ribs 6, 7 of the connecting element 1 and the retaining ribs 21, 22 of the head part 2 thus form together with the respective insertion openings 8, 9 and 23, 24 a kind of bayonet closure.

Figur 3 zeigt den Zustand, in dem Anschlußelement 1 und Kopfteil 2 in der geschilderten Weise aneinander befestigt sind, jedoch ohne Gebäudewand und ohne Wasserzuführleitung. Man erkennt, daß sich die Anschlußplatte 4 des Anschlußelements 1 und das schalenförmige Verbindungsteil 20 des Kopfteiles 2, welche die gleiche, kreisrunde Außenkontur aufweisen, optisch zu einer Art Rosette ergänzen, welche über der Anschlußstelle in der Gebäudewand liegt.Figure 3 shows the state in which connection element 1 and head part 2 are fastened to each other in the manner described, but without the building wall and without water supply. It can be seen that the connecting plate 4 of the connecting element 1 and the cup-shaped connecting part 20 of the head part 2, which have the same circular outer contour, visually complement a kind of rosette, which lies above the junction in the building wall.

Soll das Kopfteil 2 gereinigt oder durch eine andere Art ersetzt werden, so genügt es, ihn dieses zunächst durch eine Drehung und sodann durch eine Axialbewegung von dem Anschlußelement 1 abzunehmen. Das gereinigte Kopfteil 2 oder eine andere Art Kopfteil 2 wird dann in umgekehrter Weise, wie oben schon geschildert, wieder aufgesetzt. Diese Arbeiten können von jedem Laien in sehr kurzer Zeit durchgeführt werden.If the head part 2 cleaned or replaced by another type, it is sufficient to remove it first by a rotation and then by an axial movement of the connecting element 1. The cleaned headboard 2 or another type headboard 2 is then placed in the reverse manner, as already described above, again. This work can be done by any layman in a very short time.
