Description

Anwendungsgebiet und Stand der TechnikField of application and state of the art

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Sanitäreinrichtung mit mindestens einer installierten Wasseraustrittsdüse. Die Sanitäreinrichtung weist eine Frontwand mit einer dem Benutzer zugewandten Vorderseite auf, an der mindestens eine, mit der Vorderseite eine Vorderkante bildende Öffnung ausgebildet ist, an der mindestens eine Wasseraustrittsdüse durch Haltemittel an einer Halterung der Sanitäreinrichtung befestigt ist.The invention relates to a sanitary device with at least one installed water outlet nozzle. The sanitary device has a front wall with a front side facing the user, on which at least one opening forming a front edge with the front side is formed, to which at least one water outlet nozzle is fastened by holding means to a holder of the sanitary device.

Gattungsgemäße Sanitäreinrichtungen mit Wasseraustrittsdüsen, sind im gesamten Sanitärbereich weit verbreitet, beispielsweise als Komplettduschen, Whirlpools oder dergleichen. Bei herkömmlichen Sanitäreinrichtungen wird die Wasseraustrittsdüse an der Frontwand verklemmt, wobei zumindest das Haltemittel, beispielsweise ein Flansch über die Vorderseite der Frontwand übersteht. Dies wirkt nicht sehr elegant und hat darüber hinaus auch technische Nachteile, beispielsweise könnte der Benutzer am Haltemittel hängen bleiben und es mitsamt der Wasseraustrittsdüse aus der Frontwand reißen.Generic sanitary facilities with water outlet nozzles, are widely used throughout the sanitary area, for example as a complete showers, whirlpools or the like. In conventional sanitary facilities, the water outlet nozzle is clamped to the front wall, wherein at least the retaining means, for example a flange projects beyond the front side of the front wall. This does not look very elegant and also has technical disadvantages, for example, the user could get stuck on the holding means and tear it together with the water outlet nozzle from the front wall.

Es ist bereits eine Badewanne mit Wasseraustrittsdüsen bekannt (US-3797482), bei der die Wasseraustrittsdüsen in der Innenseite der Badewanne ausmünden und hinter der Innenwand befestigt werden können. Dabei tritt das Wasser aus den Wasseraustrittsdüsen aber immer unterhalb des Wasserspiegels in der Badewanne aus.It is already a bathtub with water outlet nozzles known (US-3797482), in which the water outlet nozzles open out in the inside of the bathtub and can be attached behind the inner wall. However, the water exits from the water outlet nozzles but always below the water level in the bathtub.

Bei einer weiteren Badewanne ist eine Vertiefung in der Wand der Badewanne angebracht, die nach außen hin offen ist. Von dort aus wird eine Wasseraustrittsdüse eingesetzt. Auch hier ragt kein Teil der Wasseraustrittsdüse über die Fläche der Wand der Badewanne nach innen vor (FR2680970).In another bathtub, a recess in the wall of the bath is attached, which is open to the outside. From there, a water outlet nozzle is used. Again, no part of the water outlet nozzle projects inward beyond the wall of the bathtub (FR2680970).

Aufgabe und LösungTask and solution

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Sanitäreinrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, die mindestens eine einfach und schnell zu installierende Wasseraustrittsdüse aufweist, und insbesondere die Nachteile des vorgenannten Standes der Technik vermeidet.The object of the invention is to provide a sanitary device of the type mentioned, which has at least one easily and quickly installed water outlet nozzle, and in particular avoids the disadvantages of the aforementioned prior art.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Sanitäreinrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen dargestellt.This object is achieved by a sanitary device having the features of claim 1. Further developments of the invention are shown in the subclaims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Sanitäreinrichtung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Haltemittel hinter der Vorderseite der Frontwand angreifen und die Vorderkante der Öffnung frei von Haltemitteln ist.The sanitary device according to the invention is characterized in that the holding means engage behind the front of the front wall and the front edge of the opening is free of holding means.

Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Sanitäreinrichtungen wird also ein Übergreifen der Haltemittel über die Vorderseite der Frontwand verhindert, so dass insbesondere bei Komfortduschen oder dergleichen eine bisher im Bereich der Wasseraustrittsdüsen nicht zu erzielende Eleganz erreicht wird. Auch ein Kontakt des Benutzers mit den Haltemitteln und damit möglicherweise ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen der Wasseraustrittsdüse wird dadurch verhindert.In contrast to conventional sanitary equipment thus overstretching of the retaining means on the front of the front wall is prevented, so that in particular in comfort showers or the like, a hitherto in the range of water outlet nozzles not achieved elegance is achieved. A contact of the user with the holding means and thus possibly an accidental release of the water outlet nozzle is thereby prevented.

Sanitäreinrichtungen im Sinne der Anmeldung sind, wie bereits erwähnt, beispielsweise Multifunktionsbrausen bzw. Komplettduschen, Wände von Duschkabinen oder Säulen, der Boden oder Beckenrand eines Whirlpools oder dergleichen. Wasseraustrittsdüsen können Brausen, insbesondere Seitenbrausen, Sprudeldüsen, Dampfdüsen oder dergleichen sein.Sanitary facilities in the sense of the application are, as already mentioned, for example, multi-functional showers or complete showers, walls of shower cubicles or columns, the bottom or pool edge of a hot tub or the like. Water outlet nozzles may be showers, in particular side showers, effervescent nozzles, steam nozzles or the like.

Besonders bevorzugt ist es, die Wasseraustrittsdüse trotz ihrer hinter der Vorderseite der Frontwand angreifenden Haltemitteln von vorne durch die Öffnung einführbar auszubilden. Dadurch wird der Vorteil der zeitsparenden Frontmontage mit dem erwähnten Vorteil der frontseitigen Unsichtbarkeit der Haltemittel kombiniert.It is particularly preferred to design the water outlet nozzle, in spite of its holding means engaging behind the front side of the front wall, from the front through the opening. This combines the advantage of time-saving front mounting with the mentioned advantage of the front-side invisibility of the holding means.

Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn die Halterung, an der die Haltemittel angreifen, rückversetzt zur Vorderseite der Frontwand angeordnet ist. Die Halterung kann also eine Art rückversetzte Vorderfront bilden.It is particularly preferred if the holder, on which the holding means engage, is arranged offset from the front of the front wall. The holder can therefore form a kind of setback front.

Dadurch ist es möglich, die Wassereintrittsdüse in drei unterschiedliche Positionen bezüglich der Vorderseite der Frontwand in der Öffnung festzulegen. Es ist möglich, dass die Wasseraustrittsdüse ebenfalls rückversetzt zur Vorderseite der Frontwand eingebaut ist. Auch ein Hervorstehen der Wasseraustrittsdüse aus der Öffnung heraus ist möglich. Bevorzugt ist jedoch, die Wasseraustrittsdüse im Wesentlichen frontbündig einzubauen.This makes it possible to set the water inlet nozzle in three different positions with respect to the front of the front wall in the opening. It is possible that the water outlet nozzle is also installed backward to the front of the front wall. A protrusion of the water outlet nozzle out of the opening is possible. However, it is preferred to install the water outlet nozzle substantially flush with the front.

Eine Möglichkeit, die Halterung auszubilden, ist, sie einstückig an der Frontwand anzuformen. Dies spart separate Halterungsbauteile, die erst noch an die Frontwand montiert werden müssen. Bevorzugt wird die gesamte Frontwand durch Stranggießen hergestellt. Dadurch kann in einfacher Weise erreicht werden, dass die Frontwand in Längsrichtung eine durchgehend gleichmäßige Materialdicke aufweist. Die Halterung kann dabei gleich mit angeformt werden. Die Öffnung, durch die die Wasseraustrittsdüse in die Frontwand eingeführt wird, kann dabei durch eine Bohrung im Stranggussteil gebildet werden. Dies ist einfach und schnell auszuführen.One way to form the holder is to form it integrally on the front wall. This saves separate support components, which still have to be mounted on the front wall. Preferably, the entire front wall is produced by continuous casting. This can be achieved in a simple manner that the front wall in the longitudinal direction has a continuous uniform material thickness. The holder can be molded with the same. The opening through which the water outlet nozzle is introduced into the front wall, can be formed by a bore in the continuous casting. This is easy and quick to do.

Besonders bevorzugt ist es, eine Halterung vorzusehen, die die Wasseraustrittsdüse verdrehsicher und verschiebesicher in der Öffnung hält. Dabei soll eine Verschiebung sowohl in Längsrichtung als auch in Querrichtung der Frontwand, sowie ein Verdrehen in der Öffnung verhindert werden. Als Halterungen können beispielsweise zwei beidseits der Öffnung an der Rückseite der Frontwand befestigte Winkel dienen, die die Öffnung in Einschieberichtung verjüngen und die Wasseraustrittsdüse zunächst einmal gegen ein Durchdrücken durch die Halterung hindern. Um eine Quer- bzw. Längsschiebesicherung zu erreichen, können an den Querschenkeln des Winkels vorzugsweise kreisförmige Ausnehmungen angebracht sein. Eine weitere Möglichkeit, die Halterung auszubilden, ist ein langer Winkel, der ebenfalls an der Rückseite der Frontwand angebracht ist und dessen Querschenkel im Abstand von der Vorderseite hinter der Öffnung liegt. Zur Längs- bzw. Querschiebesicherung kann dabei ein Durchgang dienen, durch den ein rückwärtiger Teil der Wasseraustrittsöffnung durchgeführt ist.It is particularly preferred to provide a holder which holds the water outlet nozzle against rotation and secure against displacement in the opening. In this case, a displacement in both the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction of the front wall, and a rotation in the opening to be prevented. As brackets, for example, two on both sides of the opening at the back of the front wall attached angle serve that taper the opening in the insertion direction and prevent the water outlet first against pushing through the holder. In order to achieve a transverse or longitudinal sliding safety, preferably circular recesses may be attached to the transverse limbs of the angle. Another way to form the holder is a long angle, which is also attached to the back of the front wall and the transverse leg in Distance from the front behind the opening is. For longitudinal or transverse sliding protection can serve a passage through which a rear part of the water outlet opening is performed.

Es ist möglich, dass die Halterung mit der Frontwand eine Kammer bildet. Die Kammer kann mindestens auf einer Seite in Breitrichtung der Frontwand geschlossen sein. Bevorzugt ist jedoch, wenn die Kammer zu beiden Seiten in Breitrichtung geschlossen ist, so dass kein Wasser bzw. Wasserdampf an die rückwärtig angreifenden Haltemittel dringen kann. Die Kammer kann über die gesamte Länge der Frontwand verlaufen und an beiden Enden einen offenen Abschluß mit der Frontwand bilden. Dies ist insbesondere dann günstig, wenn die Kammer beim Stranggießen mit angeformt wird, die Kammer also zum Strang gehört und nicht erst durch weitere Bearbeitungsschritte hergestellt werden muß. Die offenen Abschlüsse der Kammer werden bevorzugt verkleidet, so dass ebenfalls kein Wasser bzw. Wasserdampf in die Kammer dringen kann.It is possible that the holder forms a chamber with the front wall. The chamber may be closed at least on one side in the width direction of the front wall. However, it is preferred if the chamber is closed on both sides in the width direction, so that no water or water vapor can penetrate to the rearwardly acting holding means. The chamber can extend over the entire length of the front wall and form an open end with the front wall at both ends. This is particularly advantageous when the chamber is formed during continuous casting, so the chamber belongs to the strand and does not have to be prepared by further processing steps. The open ends of the chamber are preferably lined, so that also no water or water vapor can penetrate into the chamber.

Bei vielen Sanitäreinrichtungen ist die Frontwand senkrecht zu ihrer Längsrichtung gekrümmt, beispielsweise bei Duschsäulen u.s.w. Bevorzugt ist jedoch trotz gekrümmter Frontwand die Rückwand der Kammer eben auszubilden, so dass eine exakte Fixierung und schnelle Festlegung der Wasseraustrittsdüse in der Öffnung durch als Normteile erhältliche Haltemittel möglich ist. Bei einer gekrümmten Rückwand müßten die Haltemittel Sonderteile sein, die dementsprechend teuer sind.In many sanitary facilities, the front wall is curved perpendicular to its longitudinal direction, for example, in shower columns u.s.w. However, in spite of a curved front wall, the back wall of the chamber is preferably flat, so that an exact fixation and rapid fixing of the water outlet nozzle in the opening is possible by holding means available as standard parts. With a curved rear wall, the retaining means would have to be special parts, which are accordingly expensive.

Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Halterung als Widerlager ausgebildet, an dem die Wasseraustrittsdüse zur Anlage bringbar ist, und dient zur Fixierung der Wasseraustrittsdüse in der Öffnung.In a further development of the invention, the holder is designed as an abutment on which the water outlet nozzle can be brought into abutment, and serves to fix the water outlet nozzle in the opening.

Vorzugsweise dienen als Widerlager schmale, vorzugsweise kreisrunde Randabschnitte der Halterung, deren diametraler Abstand kleiner ist als der Durchmesser der Öffnung an der Vorderseite der Frontwand. Durchbruchs an der Rückwand der Kammer beträgt. Das Widerlager kann beispielsweise vom Rand einer Öffnung in der Rückwand der Kammer gebildet werden.Preferably serve as an abutment narrow, preferably circular edge portions of the holder whose diametrical distance is smaller than the diameter of the opening at the front of the front wall. Breakthrough at the rear wall of the chamber amounts. The abutment may for example be formed by the edge of an opening in the rear wall of the chamber.

Vorzugsweise ist die Wasseraustrittsdüse ausschließlich an der hinter der Frontwand angeordneten Halterung befestigt.The water outlet nozzle is preferably fastened exclusively to the holder arranged behind the front wall.

Um die Wasseraustrittsdüse in der Öffnung vorzugsweise am Widerlager zu befestigen, dienen Haltemittel, die vorzugsweise von einer Flansch an der Wasseraustrittsdüse und einem Gegenstück gebildet sind und die Halterung insbesondere das Widerlager beidseitig umfassen. Der Flansch an der Wasseraustrittsdüse kann also in Einschubrichtung an einem Überstand der Halterung, insbesondere der Rückwand der Kammer fixiert und mittels des Gegenstückes am Widerlager befestigt werden. Das Gegenstück kann eine Mutter sein, die auf ein Gewinde am rückwärtigen Teil der Wasseraustrittsdüse aufgeschraubt ist und sich an der Rückseite der Halterung abstützt. Es ist jedoch auch denkbar, die Wasseraustrittsdüse mittels eines Spannelements, beispielsweise einer Feder, zu befestigen. Beispielsweise kann das Gegenstück als eine Art Ringbund ausgebildet sein, der an der Wasseraustrittsdüse befestigt, beispielsweise einstückig angeformt ist. An dem Ringbund können Federn angeformt sein, die sich beispielsweise diametral zur Mittelachse der Öffnung gegenüberliegen. Um die Wasseraustrittsdüse zu befestigen können die Federn einen an der Halterung ausgebildeten, insbesondere einen ebenfalls einstückig daran angeformten Flansch hintergreifen. Es ist auch denkbar, eine separate Feder nach Art eines Federbügels einzusetzen und den Ringbund lediglich als Zentrierelement einzusetzen. Die separate Feder könnte ebenfalls einen Flansch an der Halterung hintergreifen und sich am Ringbund abstützen, wodurch dieser sich an der Halterung abstützt und die Wasseraustrittsdüse festlegt.To attach the water outlet nozzle in the opening preferably on the abutment, serve holding means, which are preferably formed by a flange on the water outlet nozzle and a counterpart and the holder in particular the abutment on both sides. The flange on the water outlet nozzle can thus be fixed in the direction of insertion on a projection of the holder, in particular the rear wall of the chamber and fixed by means of the counterpart on the abutment. The counterpart can be a nut which is screwed onto a thread on the rear part of the water outlet nozzle and is supported on the rear side of the holder. However, it is also conceivable to fasten the water outlet nozzle by means of a tensioning element, for example a spring. For example, the counterpart may be formed as a kind of annular collar which is attached to the water outlet nozzle, for example integrally formed. On the collar springs can be formed, which are for example diametrically opposite to the central axis of the opening. In order to fix the water outlet nozzle, the springs can engage behind a flange formed on the holder, in particular a flange which is likewise integrally formed thereon. It is also conceivable to use a separate spring in the manner of a spring clip and to use the annular collar merely as a centering element. The separate spring could also engage behind a flange on the bracket and itself supported on the collar, so that it is supported on the bracket and determines the water outlet nozzle.

Um die Wasseraustrittsdüse gegen Verdrehen zu sichern, kann an der Halterung mindestens ein Sicherungselement ausgebildet sein, das diese Aufgabe übernimmt. Das Sicherungselement kann beispielsweise eine Nut sein, die mit einer komplementär dazu ausgebildeten Nase an der Wasseraustrittsöffnung zusammenwirkt. Besonders bevorzugt sind am Durchbruch der Halterung zwei sich diametral zur Mittelachse der Öffnung gegenüber-liegende Nuten ausgebildet. Es sind jedoch auch andere Sicherungselemente denkbar, beispielsweise Federn an der Halterung, die in dementsprechende Federaufnahmen an der Wasseraustrittsdüse einrasten.In order to secure the water outlet nozzle against rotation, at least one securing element can be formed on the holder, which performs this task. The securing element may, for example, be a groove which cooperates with a nose formed complementary thereto at the water outlet opening. Particularly preferred are formed at the opening of the holder two diametrically opposite to the central axis of the opening opposite grooves. However, other security elements are conceivable, for example springs on the holder, which engage in corresponding spring receptacles on the water outlet nozzle.

Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann die Wasseraustrittsdüse eine Verkleidung aufweisen. Die Verkleidung ist bevorzugt derart ausgebildet, dass sie im Wesentlichen bündig mit der Vorderseite der Frontwand abschließt. Eine bevorzugte Verkleidung ist beispielsweise eine Rosette. Um ein Verkanten der Verkleidung mit der Vorderkante der Öffnung zu verhindern, kann diese eine umlaufende Schattenfuge aufweisen. Die Verkleidung kann an der Wasseraustrittsöffnung befestigt sein. Sie kann jedoch auch einstückig mit der Wasseraustrittsöffnung verbunden sein. Besonders bevorzugt wird die Verkleidung, insbesondere die Rosette, gemeinsam mit der Wasseraustrittsdüse verdrehgesichert. Beispielsweise können dazu Zapfen dienen, die ebenfalls in die Nuten an der Halterung eingreifen.In a further development of the invention, the water outlet nozzle may have a lining. The cladding is preferably designed such that it terminates substantially flush with the front of the front wall. A preferred cladding is for example a rosette. To prevent tilting of the panel with the leading edge of the opening, this may have a circumferential shadow gap. The panel may be attached to the water outlet opening. However, it can also be integrally connected to the water outlet opening. Particularly preferably, the panel, in particular the rosette, is secured against rotation together with the water outlet nozzle. For example, serve to pin, which also engage in the grooves on the bracket.

Das nachfolgend beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Sanitäreinrichtung 11 soll an Hand einer mit Seitenbrausen bestückten Multifunktionsdusche erläutert werden. Es sind jedoch auch andere Sanitäreinrichtungen denkbar, beispielsweise eine mit Seitenbrausen bestückte Säulendusche, ein mit Sprudeldüsen und/oder Massagedüsen bestückter Whirlpool, eine mit Dampfdüsen bestückte Dampfkammer oder dergleichen.The embodiment described below of the sanitary device 11 according to the invention will be explained with reference to a multi-function shower equipped with side showers. However, there are also other sanitary facilities conceivable, for example, equipped with side showers pillar shower, equipped with jets and / or massage jets whirlpool, equipped with steam jets steam chamber or the like.

Das in den Figuren 1 bis 4 dargestellt Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Sanitäreinrichtung 11 umfasst eine Frontwand 12, die in Figur 1 in unbestücktem Zustand dargestellt ist.The illustrated in Figures 1 to 4 embodiment of a sanitary device 11 according to the invention comprises a front wall 12, which is shown in Figure 1 in the unloaded state.

Die Frontwand 12 ist die Frontplatte einer Multifunktionsdusche. Die Frontwand 12 ist eine Stranggussteil, insbesondere aus Aluminium. Das Aluminium kann eloxiert und/oder lackiert sein, um seine optische Wirkung zu verbessern. Es sind jedoch auch andere Herstellungsverfahren der Frontwand bzw. Materialien denkbar, z. B. Edelstahl, Kunststoff oder dergleichen. Im beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel besitzt die Frontwand 12 einen kreissegmentförmig gekrümmten Vorderabschnitt, an den zu beiden Seiten im Winkel von ca. 80° bis 90° jeweils ein Seitenrandabschnitt 14 anschließt. Die Frontwand 12 besitzt über ihre gesamte Länge eine konstante Materialdicke. Die Frontwand kann jedoch auch andere Geometrien aufweisen. Sie kann beispielsweise eben abschließen oder nach innen gekrümmt sein, wie es beispielsweise bei Beckenrändern von Whirlpools der Fall ist.The front wall 12 is the front panel of a multi-function shower. The front wall 12 is a continuous casting, in particular of aluminum. The aluminum may be anodized and / or painted to enhance its visual appeal. However, other manufacturing methods of the front wall or materials are conceivable, for. As stainless steel, plastic or the like. In the described embodiment, the front wall 12 has a circular segment curved front section, to each side at an angle of about 80 ° to 90 °, a side edge portion 14 connects. The front wall 12 has over its entire length a constant material thickness. However, the front wall can also have other geometries. You can, for example, just complete or curved inward, as is the case for example with pool edges of hot tubs.

Am Vorderabschnitt 13 der Frontwand 12 sind Öffnungen 15 ausgebildet, die zum Einführen einer Wasseraustrittsdüse 16, die nachfolgend noch näher beschrieben wird, dienen. Die Öffnungen 15 können derart angeordnet sein, dass ihre Mittelachse 17 mit der Querachse 18 der Frontwand 12 zusammenfällt oder, wie in Figur 1 dargestellt, dass sie spiegel-symmetrisch zur Querachse 18 der Frontwand liegen. Es können mehrere Öffnungen 15 in Reihen oder einzeln übereinander angeordnet sein. Die Öffnungen 15 können in Reihen übereinander oder auch unregelmäßig übereinander liegen. Die Vorderseite 19 der Frontwand 12 bildet mit der Öffnung 15 eine Vorderkante 20. Im Falle von Stranggussteilen können die Öffnungen 15 durch Bohrungen gebildet werden. Die Öffnungen 15 sind an die Form der einzuführenden Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 angepasst, also vorzugsweise kreisrund. Zurückgesetzt vom Vorderabschnitt 13 der Frontwand 12 befindet sich eine Halterung 21, die die Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 haltert und an die die Haltemittel angreifen. Die Halterung 21 ist im beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel einstückig mit der Frontwand 12 geformt, wurde also insbesondere beim Stranggießen mit ausgebildet. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, die Halterung 21 am Vorderabschnitt 13 der Frontwand 12, insbesondere an dessen Rückseite 22 zu befestigen. Die Halterung 21 bildet im beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel mit dem Vorderabschnitt der Frontplatte eine geschlossene Kammer 23. Es sind jedoch auch andere Halterungsarten möglich, beispielsweise zwei beidseitig der Öffnung angeordnete Winkel. Die Kammer 23 kann auch in Breitrichtung der Frontwand 12 auf einer Seite geöffnet sein. An der Rückseite 24 der Kammer 23 befindet sich ein Durchbruch 25. Wie in Figur 2 dargestellt, hat der Durchbruch 25 einen etwas kleineren Durchmesser als die Öffnung 15. Durch den Durchbruch kann ein rückwärtiger Teil der Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 hindurchgeführt werden. Wie in Figur 2 auf der linken Seite dargestellt, entsteht also ein kreisringförmiger Überstand, dessen Breite die Differenz der Radien der Öffnung 15 und des Durchbruchs 25 entspricht. Dieser Überstand ist als ein Widerlager 26 ausgebildet, an dem sich die Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 abstützen kann, wie nachher noch näher erläutert wird.At the front portion 13 of the front wall 12 openings 15 are formed, which serve for introducing a water outlet nozzle 16, which will be described in more detail below. The openings 15 may be arranged such that their central axis 17 coincides with the transverse axis 18 of the front wall 12 or, as shown in Figure 1, that they are mirror-symmetrical to the transverse axis 18 of the front wall. There may be a plurality of openings 15 in rows or individually stacked. The openings 15 may be in rows one above the other or even irregularly one above the other. The front side 19 of the front wall 12 forms with the opening 15 a front edge 20. In the case of extruded parts, the openings 15 may be formed by bores. The openings 15 are to the shape of the water outlet nozzle to be introduced 16 adapted, so preferably circular. Set back from the front portion 13 of the front wall 12 is a holder 21 which holds the water outlet nozzle 16 and to which the holding means attack. The holder 21 is formed integrally with the front wall 12 in the described embodiment, so it was formed in particular during continuous casting. However, it is also possible to fasten the holder 21 on the front section 13 of the front wall 12, in particular on its rear side 22. The holder 21 forms in the described embodiment with the front portion of the front panel a closed chamber 23. However, other types of support are possible, for example, two sides of the opening arranged angle. The chamber 23 may also be open in the width direction of the front wall 12 on one side. As shown in Figure 2, the aperture 25 has a slightly smaller diameter than the aperture 15. Through the aperture, a rearward portion of the water outlet nozzle 16 can be passed. As shown in Figure 2 on the left side, thus creating an annular projection whose width corresponds to the difference of the radii of the opening 15 and the opening 25. This projection is formed as an abutment 26, on which the water outlet nozzle 16 can be supported, as will be explained in more detail below.

Die Kreisringform des Überstandes ist durch zwei sich diametral zur Mittelachse der Öffnung 17 gegenüberliegende Sicherungselemente 40 unterbrochen. Die Sicherungselemente 40 sind als Nuten ausgebildet, und wirken mit komplementär dazu ausgebildeten Nasen an der Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 zusammen. Es sind jedoch auch andere Sicherungselemente 40 denkbar, beispielsweise ein Schlitz oder dergleichen.The annular shape of the supernatant is interrupted by two diametrically opposite the central axis of the opening 17 opposite securing elements 40. The securing elements 40 are formed as grooves, and cooperate with complementary thereto formed lugs on the water outlet nozzle 16. However, other securing elements 40 are conceivable, for example a slot or the like.

Um zu erreichen, dass die Strahlrichtung der Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 nicht am Benutzer vorbei geht, sondern diesen trifft, sind die Kammern 23 asymmetrisch ausgebildet. Während die Vorderseite der Kammer 23 mit einem Teil des Vorderabschnittes 13 der Frontwand zusammenfällt und gekrümmt ist, ist die Rückseite 24 der Kammer 23 eben. Die Tangente an die gekrümmten Vorderseite der Kammer mit dem Schnittpunkt der Mittelachs 17 der Öffnung 15 und der Vorderseite als Berührpunkt und die Rückseite 24 der Kammer 23 liegen im Winkel zueinander. Der Winkel beträgt beispielsweise bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform in Figur 1 20°,so dass die Strahlrichtungen weniger divergieren, als es der Krümmung der Vorderfront entspricht. An der Rückseite 24 der Kammer 23 kann ein Vorsprung 27 ausgebildet sein, der wie nachher noch näher beschrieben, zur Befestigung der Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 dienen kann. Wie in Figur 4 dargestellt können auch zu beiden Seiten der Rückseite 24 der Kammer 23 Vorsprünge ausgebildet sein.In order to ensure that the jet direction of the water outlet nozzle 16 does not pass the user, but hits the user, the chambers 23 are formed asymmetrically. While the front of the chamber 23 coincides with a portion of the front portion 13 of the front wall and is curved, the back 24 of the chamber 23 is flat. The tangent to the curved front of the chamber with the intersection of the central axis 17 of the opening 15 and the front as a touch point and the back 24 of the chamber 23 are at an angle to each other. For example, in the illustrated embodiment in FIG. 1, the angle amounts to 20 °, so that the beam directions diverge less than corresponds to the curvature of the front side. On the rear side 24 of the chamber 23, a projection 27 may be formed, which, as described in more detail below, can serve for fastening the water outlet nozzle 16. As shown in FIG. 4, projections 23 can also be formed on both sides of the rear side 24 of the chamber.

Die Figur 3 zeigt einen Ausschnitt aus der Frontwand 12, mit einer in der Öffnung 15 festgelegten Wasseraustrittsdüse 16. Die Wasseraustrittsdüse ist im beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel eine Seitenbrause, kann jedoch auch eine Sprudeldüse oder eine Dampfdüse sein. Die Seitenbrause umfasst einen Brausenkopf 28 einen Haltemittelabschnitt 29, der in einen Übergang 30 übergeht, und ein Anschlußstück 31 für eine Wasserschlauch. Der Brausenkopf 28 ist an seiner Oberseite konvex gekrümmt. Die Außenkontur des Brausenkopfes 28 kann verschiedenste Geometrien haben, beispielsweise abgestuft kegelstumpfförmig, wie in Figur 3 dargestellt. Der Brausenkopf 28 kann in verschiedene Richtungen gedreht werden. Der Haltemittelabschnitt 29, der sich unmittelbar an den Brausenkopf 28 anschließt, hat vorzugsweise eine zylindrische Form. Er kann ein Gewinde aufweisen, auf das ein folgend noch beschriebenes Haltemittel aufschraubbar ist. Unmittelbar am Übergang zwischen dem Brausekopf und seinem Haltemittelabschnitt 29 befinden sich diametral zur Mittelachse 17 der Öffnung 15 gegenüberliegend zwei Nasen (nicht dargestellt), die in die nutförmigen Sicherungselemente 40 eingreifen und die Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 gegen Verdrehen im Durchbruch 25 hindern. Der sich an den Haltemittelabschnitt 29 anschließende Übergang ist als Diffusor ausgebildet, der das einströmende Wasser verteilt. Das Wasser strömt über einen nicht dargestellten Schlauch über das Anschlußstück 31 an. Der Schlauch kann direkt mit einer Wasserquelle verbunden sein, es ist jedoch auch möglich, dass er mit einem anderen Anschlußstück einer anderen Wasseraustrittsdüse gekoppelt ist.FIG. 3 shows a detail of the front wall 12, with a water outlet nozzle 16 defined in the opening 15. The water outlet nozzle is a side shower in the exemplary embodiment described, but may also be an effervescent nozzle or a steam nozzle. The side shower comprises a shower head 28, a holding means portion 29, which merges into a transition 30, and a fitting 31 for a water hose. The shower head 28 is curved convexly on its upper side. The outer contour of the showerhead 28 can have a wide variety of geometries, for example graduated truncated conical, as shown in Figure 3. The showerhead 28 can be rotated in different directions. The holding means section 29, which adjoins directly to the shower head 28, preferably has a cylindrical shape. He may have a thread on which a following still described holding means is screwed. Immediately at the transition between the shower head and its holding means portion 29 are located diametrically to the central axis 17 of the opening 15 opposite two lugs (not shown), which engage in the groove-shaped securing elements 40 and prevent the water outlet nozzle 16 against rotation in the opening 25. The adjoining the holding means section 29 transition is designed as a diffuser which distributes the inflowing water. The water flows via a hose, not shown, via the connecting piece 31. The hose may be connected directly to a water source, but it is also possible that it is coupled to another fitting of another water outlet nozzle.

An der Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 ist im beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel, wie in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellt, eine Verkleidung 32 befestigt. Die Verkleidung ist vorzugsweise eine Rosette, die sich in Material und Farbgebung von der Frontwand 12 abheben kann. Wie in Figur 3 zu sehen, schließt die Rosette in etwa bündig mit der Vorderseite des Vorderabschnittes 13 der Frontwand 12 ab. Um ein Überschneiden der Rosette mit der Vorderkante 20 der Vorderseite 19 zu verhindern, kann eine Schattenfuge 33 angebracht sein.At the water outlet nozzle 16 is in the described embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, a panel 32 is attached. The cladding is preferably a rosette, which can stand out in terms of material and color from the front wall 12. As can be seen in Figure 3, the rosette is approximately flush with the front of the front portion 13 of the front wall 12 from. In order to prevent the rosette from overlapping with the front edge 20 of the front side 19, a shadow gap 33 may be attached.

In dem beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Verkleidung, also die Rosette, ein von der Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 getrenntes Bauteil. Vorzugsweise wird es nach dem Einführen der Wasseraustrittsdüse in die Öffnung 15 an dieser angebracht. Hierzu dient ein an der Rückseite der Rosette 32 ausgebildeter Ring, der in einen Hinterschnitt am Brausenkopf 28 eingreift. Die Abmessung der Verkleidung ist vorzugsweise derart, dass sie bündig mit der Vorderseite der Frontwand 12 abschließt, d. h. die Winkeldifferenz zwischen der Halterung, d. h. in diesem Falle der Rückwand der Kammer und der Vorfront 12 ausgleicht.In the described embodiment, the panel, so the rosette, a separate from the water outlet nozzle 16 component. Preferably, after insertion of the water discharge nozzle into the opening 15, it is attached thereto. For this purpose, a formed on the back of the rosette ring 32 which engages in an undercut on the shower head 28. The dimension of the panel is preferably such that it is flush with the front of the front wall 12, ie the angular difference between the bracket, ie in this case the back wall of the chamber and the front panel 12 compensates.

Die Figuren 3 und 4 zeigen die Wasseraustrittsdüse in ihrer Festlegeposition in der Öffnung 15 der Frontwand 12. Zum Einbau der Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 wird diese zunächst von vorne durch die Öffnung 15 hindurchgeführt, bis ein am Brausenkopf 28 angeformter Flansch 34 mit dem als Widerlager 26 ausgebildeten Überstand in Kontakt kommt. Damit ist die Wasseraustrittsdüse gegen eine weitere Bewegung in Einschubrichtung gesichert. Der Haltemittelabschnitt 29 der Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 ragt dabei durch den Durchbruch 25 an der Rückseite 24 der Kammer 23 hindurch. Die an dem Haltemittelabschnitt 29 ausgebildeten Nasen sichern die Wasseraustrittsdüse gegen Verdrehen im Durchbruch 25. Eine Längs- bzw. Querverschiebung der Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 ist durch den Durchbruch 25 selbst verhindert. Um die Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 auch gegen eine Bewegung entgegen der Einschubrichtung also gegen ein Herausziehen aus der Öffnung 15, zu sichern, dient ein Gegenstück 35. Das Gegenstück kann, wie in Figur 3 dargestellt, eine Mutter sein, die auf ein Gewinde 36 am Haltemittelabschnitt 29 der Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 geschraubt wird und sich an der Rückseite 24 der Kammer 23 abstützt. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, wie in Figur 4 auf der rechten Seite dargestellt, die Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 von hinten einzuführen, wobei sich ein an der Wasseraustrittsdüse angeformter Ringbund an der Rückseite der Kammer 23 abstützt. Zur Festlegung der Wasseraustrittsdüse 16 können dann zwei sich diametral zur Mittelachse 17 der Öffnung 15 gegenüberliegende Federn dienen, die zwei Vorsprünge, die an der Rückseite der Kammer 23 angeformt sind, hintergreifen. Eine Alternative dazu ist in Figur 4 auf der linken Seite dargestellt. Hierbei wird der Ringbund 38 mittels eines Federbügels 39 fixiert, der ebenfalls einen Vorsprung 27 an der Halterung 21 hintergreift.Figures 3 and 4 show the water outlet nozzle in its fixed position in the opening 15 of the front wall 12. For installation of the water outlet nozzle 16, this is first passed through the opening 15 from the front, to a molded on the shower head 28 flange 34 with the abutment 26 formed as a supernatant comes into contact. Thus, the water outlet nozzle is secured against further movement in the direction of insertion. The holding means section 29 of the water outlet nozzle 16 protrudes through the opening 25 on the rear side 24 of the chamber 23 therethrough. The lugs formed on the retaining means section 29 secure the water outlet nozzle against rotation in the opening 25. A longitudinal or transverse displacement of the water outlet nozzle 16 is prevented by the opening 25 itself. In order to secure the water outlet nozzle 16 against movement against the insertion direction so against withdrawal from the opening 15, serves a counterpart 35. The counterpart can, as shown in Figure 3, be a nut on a thread 36 on the holding means section 29th the water outlet nozzle 16 is screwed and is supported on the back 24 of the chamber 23. However, it is also possible, as shown in Figure 4 on the right side to introduce the water outlet nozzle 16 from the rear, with an integrally formed on the water outlet nozzle collar is supported on the back of the chamber 23. To fix the water outlet nozzle 16 can then serve two diametrically opposite to the central axis 17 of the opening 15 opposite springs, the two projections, which are integrally formed on the back of the chamber 23, engage behind. An alternative to this is shown in FIG. 4 on the left side. Here, the annular collar 38 is fixed by means of a spring clip 39, which also engages behind a projection 27 on the holder 21.
