  • the inventively embodied component which comprises the housing of the switching unit, the housing of the water jet imaging unit and the channels leading from the switching unit to the outlet chambers of the water jet imaging unit, can advantageously be produced as a plastic injection-molded part.
  • the second channels leading to the in particular ring-shaped second outlet chamber or the at least one second channel is arranged in the outer region of the component, which is consequently laterally open in the injection-molded component and is sealed by a closure element.
  • This closure element can glued to the component, welded, in particular vibration-welded, or be connected waterproof in other ways.
  • the component of the water outlet device according to the invention is expediently formed symmetrically along a plane of symmetry which extends through the switching unit and the water jet imaging unit.
  • the extremely compact construction of this component is facilitated by the fact that the first outlet opening of the switching unit is directly in communication with the first outlet chamber of the water jet forming unit, while the second outlet chamber, which usually extends annularly around the first outlet chamber, two diametrically opposed and laterally of the Housing the switching unit extending channels with two outlet openings of the switching unit is in communication.
  • an actuating element for the switching unit or its switching element which is usually a kind of valve, offers a rocker button, which is arranged in an opening or behind an opening in the outer wall portion of the curved fitting housing.
  • This rocker button has two actuating surfaces, one of which is arranged in extension of the movement axis of the switching element.
  • the switching unit from the inlet end of the fitting housing to the inlet opening of the switching unit arranged in the fitting housing there extends an inlet channel which is formed in an inlet channel element, which in turn is inserted into the fitting housing.
  • this inlet channel element can be rotatably mounted in an advantageous manner, the rocker button. It is useful for the assembly, if that Inlet channel element is connected by simply mating with the inlet opening of the switching unit.
  • the switching unit has an inlet connection forming the inlet opening.
  • This cover covers the actuator and its two actuating surfaces. Due to the flexible material from which the cover at least partially exists, can then be acted upon by the actuating surfaces. It is expedient if the actuator after setting the water jet (either central pearlescent or mouseur beam or shower jet) must not remain permanently pressed, but when the switching element is self-holding. This is realized by per se known spring elements which bias the switching element in a preferred position, wherein the switching element is held by the pressure of the water after actuation and movement against the biasing force of the spring in the then assumed position.
  • a water outlet device can be created which accommodates aesthetically and ergonomically appealing as a curved, tubular valve housing which widens towards the outlet end, whose outlet end is in one plane lies, which runs at an acute angle to the axis of curvature of the fitting housing.
  • the curved, tubular fitting housing is thus provided at its outlet end with an oval opening, which looks visually appealing next to the curved structure of the fitting housing and at small radii of curvature relatively short arcuate housing pieces provides sufficient space for the accommodation of Wasserstrahltruckneraji and switching unit.
  • the switching element is biased in one of its two positions (first position) and remains self-holding water flow and operation in the other position, which is made possible inter alia by the pressure of the water and per se known spring arrangements. After shutting off the flow of water, the switching element then moves automatically back to its first position, but can be transferred with advantage even with maintained water flow by pressing the actuator back to the first position.
  • Umschaltüen require a certain minimum height, which sets their compactness limits.
  • Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a water outlet device 10 which is connected to a (not shown) flexible hose which is guided in a guide of a sanitary fitting and in particular kitchen fitting pulled out and hineinschiebbar.
