Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the hydronic and sanitary-water sector, and in particular refers to a water-mixer/flow-deviator device for taps or showers.
  • the main purpose of the invention is to provide a mixing device that enables mixing, upon command by the user, of a dispensed amount of detergent and air with the water at the temperature of use.
  • a flow-deviator device with at least one reservoir containing the detergent liquid, designed to be installed upstream of the outlet of the water from the tap or shower head.
  • Figure 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of the invention
  • Figure 2 is a 3D view of a second embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 3 which is similar to Figure 1, regards, however, the second embodiment illustrated in Figure 2 and, for reasons of clarity of illustration, does not show the reservoir for the detergent;
  • Figure 4 is a front view of a third embodiment of the invention, which is similar to the first embodiment illustrated in Figure 1;
  • Figures 5 and 6 are, respectively, a left-hand side view and right-hand side view of the third embodiment illustrated in Figure 4;
  • Figure 7 is a view from above of the third embodiment illustrated in Figure 4;
  • Figures 8 and 9 show sections along the plane of trace A-A of Figure 7, and along the plane of trace B-B of Figure 4, respectively;
  • Figure 10 is a front view of a fourth embodiment of the invention, similar to the second embodiment of Figure 2;
  • Figures 11 and 12 are, respectively, a left-hand side view and right-hand side view of the fourth embodiment illustrated in Figure 10;
  • Figure 13 is a view from above of Figure 10;
  • Figures 14 and 15 show sections along the plane of trace A-A and the plane of trace B-B, respectively, of Figure 13.
  • a first embodiment of the invention envisages a deviator/mixer device D, which can be operated by the user via a purposely provided lever L, comprising mixing means M for mixing the water with the detergent and with air in order to generate soapy water preferably in the form of foam.
  • the body of the deviator device D is particularly suitable for being screwed to the wall as a common outlet for the water.
  • a top reservoir S is provided, constituted by a hopper that is advantageously separable from the body of the device, which is fixed to the latter by means of a thread or with means of slightly forced slidable coupling.
  • the first embodiment that is described is provided with two male threads: one for inlet of the water to be wall-mounted and one for outlet of the water - soapy or otherwise - to which the hose that takes to the tap or shower head is to be screwed.
  • the incoming water passes through mixing means M, which comprise: a nozzle, a venturi tube, and a pipe for intake of the air and of the detergent, opening/closing of which is governed via a purposely provided lever L, which, in the example illustrated, controls a needle with corresponding tapered-coupling seat, said needle being displaced axially by the rotation of the lever itself.
  • a second embodiment of the invention is particularly suitable for being installed upstream of the hose.
  • the deviator/mixer device D has a body substantially shaped like a sleeve with a female thread for inlet and a male thread for outlet.
  • the incoming water passes through mixing means M, which comprise: a nozzle; a venturi tube; and a duct for intake of the air and of the detergent, opening/closing of which is governed by a purposely provided lever L, which, in the example illustrated, controls a needle with corresponding tapered-coupling seat, said needle being displaced axially by the rotation of the lever itself.
  • a purposely provided lever L which, in the example illustrated, controls a needle with corresponding tapered-coupling seat, said needle being displaced axially by the rotation of the lever itself.
  • a peculiar characteristic of this second embodiment consists in the fact that the reservoir or hopper S is set laterally with respect to the body of the deviator/mixer D and can turn with respect to the axis of said deviator D in order to enable its positioning in a point where it occupies less space.
  • the reservoir S is connected to the intake hole F via an annular intake groove G coaxial to the body of the deviator/mixer D, whilst tightness is guaranteed by two annular gaskets of the 0-ring type located in respective grooves provided above and below the annular groove G, within which the detergent coming from the reservoir S passes.
  • Actuation of said lever L preferably requires a rotation through 30°.
  • the device so far described can emulsify also oils for the body or perfumed essences, enabling the user to soap himself or herself whilst remaining under the jet of the hot water, as well as reducing the consumption of water and detergent.
  • a third embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the lever L of the first embodiment is replaced by a control ring GC and in that the reservoir S is equipped with a purposely provided channel CA for inlet of the air that is to be mixed with the detergent and water via the venturi tube.
  • a fourth embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the lever L of the second embodiment is replaced by an outer body CG that can turn together with the reservoir S, and in that the side reservoir S is equipped with a purposely provided channel CA for inlet of the air that is to be mixed with the detergent and water via the venturi tube.
  • the third and the fourth embodiments envisage that the air is taken in via the purposely provided duct CA, which is separate and distinct from the one for intake of the detergent.
  • the detergent reservoir S can be replaced by a disposable element of corresponding shape, which is designed to be opened at the moment of installation in its own seat.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un dispositif déviateur/mélangeur pour mélanger de l'eau et un détergent avec de l'air, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend des moyens de mélange pour mélanger l'eau avec le détergent contenu dans un réservoir et avec de l'air afin de générer une eau savonneuse pour former de la mousse. Lesdits moyens de mélange sont actionnés par l'utilisateur à l'aide de moyens de déviation installés dans ce but, qui interrompent/activent la prise du détergent et de l'air.
