Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for showering or spraying water as dispersed droplets, comprising a water pump and a spray head, the water pump being connected by way of a water pipe to the spray head.
  • US-A-5934558 uses high pressure air to force most of the water in a vertical tube out through the nozzle to provide a short blast of water to a height controlled by the air pressure.
  • An object of the invention is to provide such a spray or shower apparatus, which is capable of dispersing drops of sprayed water in such a way that, as the dispersed water drops of the spray are contacted by light from the sun or a floodlight, a visible rainbow will result.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a water pump 2 which takes in water by way of a bottom valve 1 from any water supply (natural reserves, reservoirs, wells, etc.), and propels the water by way of a water pipe 2a to an ejector 4 which is connected to the spray head 5 by way of a high and rigid riser 7.
  • Compressed air is propelled by a pneumatic compressor 3 through an air conduit 3a to the pressure side of the ejector 4.
  • the water pipe 2a Upstream of the ejector 4, the water pipe 2a is provided with a branch pipe 9 for supplying water to one of the branches of a Y-fitting 8, while the air conduit 3a connects to the other branch of the Y-fitting 8.
  • the mixture of water and air is supplied to the pressure side of the ejector 4.
  • Discharge pressure is increased by compressed air, and the spray head in particular is supplied with a mixture of air and water, which has received a thorough blending in the ejector 4.
  • the water sprays or jets discharging from the head 5 consist of dispersed water droplets, whereby a visible rainbow is produced by sunlight or artificial light coming to contact therewith.
  • spotlights of at least 1000 W are used as coloured or bright lights and a floodlight 6 or floodlights is or are directed towards the spray of water droplets.
  • the floodlight 6 is positioned such that the rainbow is best visible from the most common viewing direction.
  • the ejectors 4 are commercially available and commonly used e.g. for providing hydraulic plants.
  • the head 5 is e.g. a dispersing brass nozzle and the riser 7 is e.g. a copper pipe.
  • the pump 2 has an intake capacity of e.g. 2,2 kW and the pneumatic compressor 3 has a pressure of e.g. 200-300 kPa (2-4 kg/cm 2 ).
  • the compressor pressure is selected in such a way that, given the pressure and delivery height of the pump, the Y-fitting 8 is supplied with water and air at an appropriate ratio for the ejector 4 to operate effectively and for a sufficient amount of air in order to disperse water droplets discharging from the head 5.
  • the junction point between the water pipe 2a and the ejector 4 can be provided with a one-way valve 10.
