Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an acoustic device for sanitary fittings.
  • the present invention also relates to a sanitary fitting provided with the above mentioned acoustic device.
  • sanitary fittings are more and more frequently provided with acoustic devices adapted to diffuse music so that the user is embraced by such music. Indeed, according to a series of studies, music promotes the relaxation of muscles and substantially give the user a sense of well-being.
  • the acoustic devices currently employed for sanitary fittings comprise a normally cylindrical container, within which a transducer is housed. The container is attached on the outer face of the wall delimiting and defining the sanitary fitting.
  • the above mentioned acoustic devices display a plurality of drawbacks.
  • an acoustic device for sanitary fittings of the type including a container attached to a wall of a sanitary fitting and a transducer inserted within said container, characterized in that it includes a bayonet connection between said transducer and said container.
  • numeral 1 shows, as a whole, a sanitary fitting provided with a plurality of acoustic devices 2 applied on the outer surface of a wall 3 delimiting and defining with its own inner surface the sanitary fitting 1 itself, in this case a bathtub.
  • the devices 2 are adapted to diffuse music and are arranged so as to embrace with such music the user bathing in the water in order to give him/her a sense of well-being.
  • the device 2 includes a container 4 defined by an internally hollow cylindrical body 5 and a plate which partially closes a longitudinal end of the body 5.
  • the plate 6 displays a diameter greater than the outer diameter of the body 5 so as to define, complanarly thereto, an annular flange 7.
  • the outer surface of the plate 6 is attached to the above mentioned outer surface of the wall 3, for instance, by means of an adhesive or by means of a biadhesive layer 8 as shown in figure 4 .
  • the broad surface extension of the plate 6 allows a more effective attachment thereof to the wall 3.
  • a through hole 11 is provided in the central part of the plate 6.
  • the biadhesive layer 8 displays a through hole 12 having substantially the same diameter as said circumference ( figure 4 ).
  • a transducer 14 is housed within the body 5, the transducer 14 displaying an outer housing defined by an internally hollow cylindrical body 15 (i.e. substantially cup-shaped), and by a plate 16 which closes a longitudinal end of the body 15 itself.
  • an internally hollow cylindrical body 15 i.e. substantially cup-shaped
  • a plate 16 which closes a longitudinal end of the body 15 itself.
  • a bayonet connection 19 ( figure 2 ) is provided between the body 15 of the transducer 14 and the body 5 of the container 4, the bayonet connection 19 being defined by a curved slot 17 obtained on the body 15 and by a protrusion 18 ( figure 3 ) obtained on the inner surface of the body 5 and adapted to engage the slot 17.
  • the transducer 14 must be rotated during the insertion of the transducer 14 itself in the body 5.
  • a wavy appendix 21 forming the grip of the transducer 14 is provided to make such an insertion in the body 5 easier and more rapid.
  • the bayonet connection 19 is configured so that there is a direct contact between a front surface 16a of the transducer and the wall 3 of the sanitary fitting 1 so as to optimally transmit the sound waves generated by the transducer 14 and the wall 3 itself.
  • An annular seal gasket 23 is housed in the annular groove 22 ( figure 2 ).
  • the transducer 14 is connected by means of an electric wire 24 to an electronic control unit (not shown); the wire 24 extending out from the above said housing through the plate 16.
  • an acoustic device has been developed displaying a simple and rapid assembly on the sanitary fitting 1. Indeed, at first the container 4 is attached to the wall 3, and then the transducer 14 is introduced in the body 5 according to the above mentioned modes. Such a type of assembly also allow a simple and rapid disconnection of the transducer 14 from the body 5 for possible maintenance or replacement operations. Finally, the bayonet connection 19 defined between the transducer 14 and the body 5 ensures an effective locking thus preventing an undesired extraction of the transducer 14 due to the vibrations being generated within the container 4.
