Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower head for a massage shower.
  • the classic massage showers are showers, in which a stream of water is delivered intermittently, so that the beam emerging from an opening is interrupted periodically.
  • the massage effect is achieved by delivering individual impulses to the skin of the user.
  • Such interruption devices for generating massage jets are often installed in the shower heads, as well as other types of jet can deliver. To switch between the different types of radiation switching devices are provided on the shower heads themselves.
  • a shower head for a sanitary shower in which a ventilation device in front of a rotor for generating pulsating water jets is present.
  • the ventilation takes place in front of the rotor ( US 4346844 ).
  • the invention is based on the object to provide a shower head in which ventilated massage jets can be generated, which can continue to exercise their massage effect despite ventilation.
  • the invention proposes a shower head with the features mentioned in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
  • This shower head which can be used both alone as a shower head or can also be part of a shower with switching device, thus containing a device to produce interrupted or pulsating rays that emerge from beam through openings of a jet disk. As seen in the direction of flow, behind these jet passage openings, these massage jets are now aerated with the aid of the ventilation device. It has surprisingly been found that this type of ventilation leads to a good and effective result.
  • the device for generating pulsating massage jets may have a closure element for alternately opening and closing the jet openings.
  • This closure element may for example be continuously movable, ie move in a continuous continuous movement.
  • a rotor can be used to drive, which can be driven by the flow of water flowing through the shower head.
  • the closure element for example a closure plate, is arranged in the flow direction in front of the jet passage openings.
  • the ventilation device which is effective downstream of these jet passage openings can, for example, have at least one ventilation chamber, which is arranged downstream of the jet passage openings.
  • air is present, which is entrained as it flows through the chamber through the massage jets.
  • the shower head downstream of the mentioned jet disk has a jet exit disc, which also has jet openings. Between these two letters, the ventilation can be effective. In particular, it can be provided that at least one ventilation chamber is arranged or formed between these two disks.
  • a single ventilation chamber is provided for all the beam passage openings and all jet outlet openings.
  • the ventilation device a plurality of ventilation chambers optionally, which are evenly distributed over the space between the two jet discs.
  • the already mentioned jet exit disc contains the jet openings, which are visible to the user to the outside. It covers the jet disk with the jet openings.
  • the jet exit disc has, for each beam passage opening, an axially aligned jet exit opening.
  • the jet exit disc should therefore be designed and arranged so that it does not disturb the now aerated massage jets.
  • a plurality of beam passage openings are tightly combined, so that they practically form a closely connected bundle of beams. For such a bundle, a larger jet exit opening can also be provided.
  • a separate ventilation chamber is provided for each beam passage opening or for each group of beam passage openings.
  • the supply of air to the plurality of ventilation chambers can take place in the invention of a common air chamber, which is preferably arranged centrally, that is, in a usually circular jet exit disc approximately in the middle between the two jet discs.
  • This common air chamber may have a connection to the outside of the shower head housing, for example in the middle of the jet exit disc. But it is also possible to leak this connection to the outside in other places.
  • Another possibility proposed by the invention is to separate the air supply to the several ventilation chambers to let, for example, for each ventilation chamber radially from the outside of the showerhead housing.
  • shut-off valve With a central air supply to a central air chamber, the arrangement of a shut-off valve to shut off the air supply designed particularly simple.
  • FIG. 1 simplified and schematically illustrated shower head includes a base 1, which contains a provided with an external thread 2 approach 3.
  • This approach 3 is intended to be screwed into a supply line, or to be connected to a supply hose.
  • a water guide 4 is arranged in the form of an axial channel.
  • the base 1 ends in a projection 5, which also has an external thread 6.
  • the water guide 4 widened into this projection 5, where the water passage merges into a flat cylindrical region 7.
  • a component 8 On the base 1 of the shower head housing a component 8 is screwed, which is sleeve-like with a bottom 9 is formed. At the bottom 9, another sleeve portion 10 connects.
  • the outer circumferential surface 11 of the component 8 runs flush with the lateral surface 12 of the base part first
  • a bearing projection 13 is formed centrally, which serves to support a rotor 14.
  • the bottom 9 includes a circumferential outer region in which a plurality of beam passage openings 15 is formed. These run in the axial direction of the shower head. The bottom 9 thus forms a jet disc in this annular outer region.
  • a closure plate 16 On the water guide 4 facing inside of this jet disk 9 is a closure plate 16 which extends over a part of the circumference of the bearing projection 13 outside of this.
  • the closure plate 16 is integrally connected to the rotor 14, so that it is moved with the rotor 14, if it is rotated about the bearing projection 13.
  • a guide plate 17 is fitted, which has obliquely extending passage openings 18 in the region of its circumference. These are directed to the wings of the tube 14 and all run obliquely in the same direction, so that the water flowing through the openings 18 causes the rotor 14 to rotate. As a result, the closure plate 16 opens and closes the jet passage openings 15 in the bottom 9 of the component 8.
  • a jet exit disc 20 is inserted into the projection 10. This jet exit disc 20 bears against the end face of the jet disc formed by the bottom 9 with projections 21.
  • at least one axial pin 22 is provided for the correct orientation of the jet disk 20 relative to the bottom 9.
  • the jet exit disc 20 contains jet outlet openings 24 in the form of axially extending bores.
  • FIG. 3 be removed.
  • this contains on its bottom 9 facing the inside a central recesses 25, which forms an air chamber 25. From this air chamber 25 lead radially extending channels 26 to the already mentioned ventilation chambers 23 between the bottom 9 and the jet exit disc 20.
  • the channels 26 extend radially from the inside to the outside.
  • a rotary member 27 Centrally in the jet exit disc 20, a rotary member 27 is mounted, which is screwed into the air chamber 25 in a nut 28.
  • the rotary member 27 includes eccentrically a through hole 29, which is in the position shown with a through hole 30 of the jet exit disc in combination, so that an air guide is given from the outside of the showerhead housing in the air chamber 25.
  • FIG. 2 shows an end view of the arrangement of FIG. 1 on the same scale the FIG. 1 ,
  • the jet outlet openings 24 of the jet disk 20 have a diameter which is so large that four to Bundling combined beam passage openings 15 come to rest within such a beam exit opening 24.
  • the rotor 14 By entering into the shower head water, the rotor 14 is rotated, so that the closure plate 16 as seen in the flow direction before the beam passage openings 15 opens and closes. This results in each beam passage opening 15, a pulsating jet, which is vented downstream of these openings in the ventilation chamber 23.
