Definitions
- the invention relates to a manufacturing method for hand showers according to claim 1.
- 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 Rader Weg adopteden Roaden. In the provision of different design and size variants thus also creates an increased production and Vorvoreaufwand for the corresponding items.
- 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.
- a hand shower which has a shower head with at least one spray jet producing device and a handle in which a detachable connection for a hose line for supplying water and at least one separate water guide is provided, wherein the water guide comprises at least two detachably but sealingly interconnected water guide elements.
- 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 via an adapter and thus adapted to the particular shape and size of the hand shower.
- the water guide elements are each connected to each other by means of an adapter.
- the entire water supply can be composed of a kind of modular system.
- a large number of hand showers of different designs and different sizes can be equipped.
- 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 because the water supply is reduced to standardized water supply elements.
- 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.
- the water supply is divided into at least one handle water guide pipe and a head water flow.
- 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.
- 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 has no influence on 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.
- FIG. 1 and Fig. 2 show an inventive water supply in an exploded view.
- the Griffigan arrangementsrohr 1 has two elastically resilient ribs 11, each with an eye opening 12 which cooperate in the locked state with locking lugs 31 on the adapter 3.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Herstellungsverfahren für Handbrausen gemäß Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a manufacturing method for hand showers according to
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 ein Herstellungsverfahren für Handbrausen gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a manufacturing method for hand showers according to
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 über einen Adapter 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 spray jet producing device and a handle in which a detachable connection for a hose line for supplying water and at least one separate water guide is provided, wherein the water guide comprises at least two detachably but sealingly interconnected water guide elements. The advantage of this design 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 via an adapter and thus adapted to the particular shape and size of the hand shower.
Gemäß 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.According to 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.
Die Abmessungen der Wasserführungselemente sind gleich bleibend bei unterschiedlichen geometrischen Ausgestaltungen der Handbrause. Somit kann die Anzahl der Einzelkomponenten weiter reduziert werden, da die Wasserführung auf standardisierte Wasserführungselemente 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.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 because the water supply is reduced to standardized water supply elements. 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.
Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Wasserführung in wenigstens ein Griffwasserführungsrohr und eine Kopfwasserführung unterteilt ist.It is advantageous if the water supply is divided into at least one handle water guide pipe and a head water flow.
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.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 has no influence on 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.
