Abstract

Der Wasserauslaufkopf (10) der Sanitärarmatur (12) weist ein aus einem lichtdurchlässigen Material gefertigtes Ausflussrohr (32) auf. Dieses besteht aus einem mit dem Gehäuse (22) fest verbundenen ersten Auslaufrohrstück (34) und einem an diesem drehbar gelagerten stromabwärts angeordneten zweiten Ausflussrohrstück (36). Das erste Ausflussrohrstück (34) ist mit einer Einkopplungsfläche (66) versehen, durch welche von der Lichtquelle (68) erzeugtes Licht in das erste Ausflussrohrstück (34) eintritt. Das Licht wird durch das erste Ausflussrohrstück (34) und das zweite Ausflussrohrstück (36) zur Stirnseite (98) und Mantelfläche (132) geleitet, wo es aus dem zweiten Ausflussrohrstück (36) austritt. In einer ersten Drehstellung (40) des zweiten Auslaufrohrstücks (36) fliesst das Wasser ausschliesslich durch den Strahlregler (96) aus der Armatur aus. In der zweiten Stellung wird mittels der Düsen (104) ein Kranz von Wasserstrahlen erzeugt.
So ist es möglich, verschiedene Stahlbilder bereitzustellen, die alle einen beleuchteten Stahl aufweisen.

The water outlet head (10) of the sanitary fitting (12) has a discharge pipe (32) made of a light-transmitting material. This consists of a with the housing (22) fixedly connected first outlet pipe piece (34) and a rotatably mounted on this downstream arranged second Ausflußrohrstück (36). The first spout (34) is provided with a coupling surface (66) through which light generated by the light source (68) enters the first spout (34). The light is directed through the first effluent tube piece (34) and the second effluent tube piece (36) to the face (98) and jacket surface (132) where it emerges from the second effluent tube piece (36). In a first rotational position (40) of the second outlet pipe section (36), the water flows out of the valve exclusively through the jet regulator (96). In the second position, a ring of water jets is generated by means of the nozzles (104).
Thus, it is possible to provide various steel images, all of which have a lighted steel.
