Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Handbrause gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a hand shower according to the preamble of claim 1.

Handbrausen bestehen in Abhängigkeit von ihrer Funktionalität aus vielen Einzelteilen, die bei Änderung des Designs oder der Abmessungen der Brause an die veränderten Geometrien angepasst werden müssen. Dies betrifft sowohl die Wasserzuführung in den Handgriffen und im Brausekopf als auch die Brausestrahlerzeugniseinrichtungen. Bei der Bereitstellung von unterschiedlichen Design- und Größenvarianten entsteht somit auch ein erhöhter Fertigungs- und Vorhalteaufwand für die entsprechenden Einzelteile.Depending on their functionality, hand showers consist of many individual parts that have to be adapted to the changed geometries if the design or dimensions of the shower change. This concerns both the water supply in the handles and in the shower head and the Effervescent Raderzeugeinrichtungeneinrichtungen. In the provision of different design and size variants thus also creates an increased production and Vorvoreaufwand for the corresponding items.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Handbrause so zu gestalten, dass deren Fertigungsaufwand in Bezug auf mögliche Form- oder Größenvariationen verringert wird.The invention is based on the object to design a hand shower so that their manufacturing costs in terms of possible shape or size variations is reduced.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Handbrause gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a hand shower according to the characterizing part of claim 1.

Hierzu wird eine Handbrause bereitgestellt, die einen Brausekopf mit wenigstens einer Brausestrahlerzeugniseinrichtung und einen Handgriff aufweist, bei dem ein lösbarer Anschluss für eine Schlauchleitung zur Zuführung von Wasser und wenigstens eine separate Wasserführung vorgesehen ist, wobei die Wasserführung wenigstens zwei lösbar aber dichtend miteinander verbundene Wasserführungselemente umfasst. Der Vorteil dieser Ausbildung besteht darin, dass die Wasserführungselemente nicht der Form oder Krümmung des jeweiligen zugehörigen Handgriffs entsprechen müssen, sondern dass für unterschiedlich geformte Handbrausen oder Griffe dieselben Wasserführungselemente verwendet werden können. Diese werden miteinander verbunden und somit an die jeweilige Form und Größe der Handbrause angepasst.For this purpose, a hand shower is provided which has a shower head with at least one Effervescent device and a handle in which a detachable connection for a hose for supplying water and at least one separate water supply is provided, wherein the water guide comprises at least two releasably but sealingly interconnected water supply elements , The advantage of this Training is that the water guide elements do not have to correspond to the shape or curvature of the respective associated handle, but that the same water guide elements can be used for differently shaped hand showers or handles. These are connected to each other and thus adapted to the particular shape and size of the hand shower.

Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Wasserführung in wenigstens ein Griffwasserführungsrohr und eine Kopfwasserführung unterteilt ist.
In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Wasserführungselemente jeweils mittels eines Adapters miteinander verbunden. Somit kann die gesamte Wasserführung aus einer Art Baukastensystem zusammengesetzt werden. Mittels einer begrenzten Anzahl von standardisierten Einzelteilen für die Wasserführungen und Adapter kann eine Vielzahl von Handbrausen unterschiedlichen Designs und unterschiedlicher Größe ausgestattet werden.
It is advantageous if the water supply is divided into at least one handle water guide pipe and a head water flow.
In a further development of the invention, the water guide elements are each connected to each other by means of an adapter. Thus, the entire water supply can be composed of a kind of modular system. By means of a limited number of standardized parts for the water ducts and adapters, a large number of hand showers of different designs and different sizes can be equipped.

Vorteilhaft ist weiterhin eine Handbrause vorzusehen, bei der die Abmessungen der Wasserführungselemente gleich bleibend bei unterschiedlichen geometrischen Ausgestaltungen der Handbrause sind. Somit kann die Anzahl der Einzelkomponenten weiter reduziert werden, da die Wasserführung auf ein standardisiertes Griffwasserführungsrohr und eine Kopfwasserführung reduziert ist. Die Anpassung der Wasserführungselemente an unterschiedliche geometrische Ausgestaltungen der Handbrause erfolgt über den Adapter, der dazu in unterschiedlichen Formen, Längen und mit unterschiedlichen Winkelstellungen bereitgestellt werden kann.
Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der Adapter mit den Wasserführungselementen formschlüssig verbunden, vorzugsweise verrastet ist. Alternativ dazu sind auch Schraub- oder Steckverbindungen möglich.
It is also advantageous to provide a hand shower, in which the dimensions of the water guide elements are the same for different geometric configurations of the hand shower. Thus, the number of individual components can be further reduced, since the water supply is reduced to a standardized handle water guide tube and a head water flow. The adaptation of the water guide elements to different geometric configurations of the hand shower via the adapter, which can be provided in different shapes, lengths and different angular positions.
A development of the invention provides that the adapter is positively connected to the water guide elements, preferably locked. Alternatively, screw or plug connections are possible.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausbildung der Handbrause sind an dem Adapter und/oder an wenigstens einem der Wasserführungselemente Abstandshalter zur Außenschale der Handbrause vorgesehen. Dadurch entsteht um die Wasserführung ein Ringraum, so dass die Wasserführung von dem umgebenden Gehäuse bzw. der Griffschale isoliert ist und somit zufließendes Wasser keinen Einfluss auf die Temperatur des Gehäuses hat. Da die Außenschale üblicherweise aus Kunststoff hergestellt und mit wenigstens einer metallenen Dekorschicht versehen werden, können durch die Luftschicht im Ringraum unerwünschte Wärmedehnungen im Gehäuse im Wesentlichen ausgeschlossen werden, so dass ein Abplatzen der Dekorschicht aufgrund wechselnder Temperaturbelastungen verhindert wird.According to an advantageous embodiment of the hand shower spacers are provided to the outer shell of the hand shower on the adapter and / or on at least one of the water guide elements. This creates an annular space around the water guide, so that the water supply is isolated from the surrounding housing or the handle shell and thus inflowing Water does not affect the temperature of the housing. Since the outer shell is usually made of plastic and provided with at least one metallic decorative layer, unwanted heat expansions in the housing can be substantially excluded by the air layer in the annulus, so that a spalling of the decorative layer is prevented due to changing temperature loads.

Figur 1 und Fig. 2 zeigen eine erfindungsgemäße Wasserführung in Explosionsdarstellung. Die Wasserführung umfasst ein Griffwasserführungsrohr 1, einen Adapter 3 und eine Kopfwasserführung 2. Zur formschlüssigen Verbindung mit dem Adapter 3 weist das Griffwasserführungsrohr 1 zwei elastisch federnde Rippen 11 mit je einer Augenöffnung 12 auf, die im verrasteten Zustand mit Rastnasen 31 am Adapter 3 zusammenwirken. Auch am Adapter 3 sind wiederum federnde Rippen 32 mit Augenöffnungen 33 vorgesehen, die im zusammengesetzten Zustand Rastnasen 21 der Kopfwasserführung 2 aufnehmen. Zur wasserdichten Verbindung der Einzelkomponenten weisen sowohl die Kopfwasserführung 2 als auch der Adapter 3 an dem Anschluss 22, 35, der in die Öffnung des Adapters 3 bzw. des Griffwasserführungsrohrs 1 greift, je eine Ringnut 23, 34 für einen Dichtungsring auf. FIG. 1 and Fig. 2 show an inventive water supply in an exploded view. For a positive connection with the adapter 3, the Griffwasserführungsrohr 1 has two elastically resilient ribs 11, each with an eye opening 12, which cooperate with latching lugs 31 on the adapter 3 in the latched state. Also on the adapter 3 in turn resilient ribs 32 are provided with eye openings 33 which receive latching lugs 21 of the head water guide 2 in the assembled state. For watertight connection of the individual components, both the head water guide 2 and the adapter 3 at the connection 22, 35, which engages in the opening of the adapter 3 and the handle water guide tube 1, depending on an annular groove 23, 34 for a sealing ring.

Auf der dem Adapter 3 abgewandten Seite des Griffasserführungsrohres 1 ist zum Anschluss an einen Brauseschlauch ein Gewinde 15 vorgesehen.
Damit die Wasserführung nicht im direkten Kontakt mit der Außenschale 4 der Handbrause steht, sind an dem Griffwasserführungsrohr 1 umlaufend an mehreren Stellen Abstandshalter 13, 14, 36 angeformt. Dadurch entsteht im eingebauten Zustand ein Ringraum zwischen Wasserführung 1,3 und Außenschale 4.
On the side facing away from the adapter 3 of the Griffasserführungsrohres 1 a thread 15 is provided for connection to a shower hose.
So that the water guide is not in direct contact with the outer shell 4 of the hand shower, spacers 13, 14, 36 are integrally formed on the handle water guide tube 1 circumferentially at several points. This results in the installed state, an annular space between the water supply 1.3 and outer shell. 4

Fig. 3 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Handbrause im Endzustand mit eingesetzter Wasserführung und Brausestrahlerzeugniseinrichtung 5. Die rippenförmigen Abstandhalter 13, 14, 36 entkoppeln die Wasserführung von der Außenschale 4 der Handbrause. Die Kontaktstellen werden auf ein Minimum reduziert. Dadurch können Spannungs- oder Dehnungsrisse aufgrund von Temperaturänderungen in der auf der Außenschale 4 aufgebrachten Dekorschicht, die oftmals aus einer Chromschicht besteht, vermieden werden. Fig. 3 shows a hand shower according to the invention in the final state with inserted water guide and shower jet producing device 5. The rib-shaped spacers 13, 14, 36 decouple the water supply from the outer shell 4 of the hand shower. The contact points are reduced to a minimum. As a result, stress or strain cracks due to temperature changes in the applied on the outer shell 4 decorative layer, which often consists of a chromium layer can be avoided.

Fig.4 zeigt eine weitere Ausgestaltung einer erfindungsgemäßen Handbrause. Im Gegensatz zur Handbrause in Fig. 3 weist diese im Kopfbereich ein eckiges Design auf. Zudem weist der Brausekopf 6 einen größeren Umfang auf.
Trotz der unterschiedlichen Außenabmessungen der Brausen können für das Griffwasserführungsrohr 1 und die Kopfwasserführung 2 identische Bauteile verwendet werden. Zur Anpassung an die unterschiedlichen Geometrien wird jeweils ein variabler Adapter 3 eingesetzt.
Figure 4 shows a further embodiment of a hand shower according to the invention. In contrast to the hand shower in Fig. 3 This has a square design in the head area. In addition, the shower head 6 to a larger extent.
Despite the different outer dimensions of the showerheads, identical components can be used for the handle water guide tube 1 and the head water guide 2. To adapt to the different geometries, a variable adapter 3 is used in each case.
