Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Brausekopf nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a shower head according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiger Brausekopf ist in der DE 30 03 784 A1 offenbart. Der dortige Brausekopf weist ein einziges verdrehbares Strahlaustrittselement in Form einer zentrisch an einem einteiligen Brausekopfgehäuse gehaltenen Düse mit mehreren Düsenöffnungen auf.Such a shower head is in the DE 30 03 784 A1 disclosed. The local shower head has a single rotatable jet outlet element in the form of a nozzle centrally held on a one-piece showerhead housing with a plurality of nozzle openings.

Aus der EP 0 676 241 A1 ist ein Brausekopf bekannt, in dem eine Turbine angeordnet ist, die zu einer periodischen Bewegung des Strahlaustrittskörpers gegenüber dem Brausekopfgehäuse führt. Zwischen der Turbine und dem Strahlaustrittskörper kann ein Untersetzungsgetriebe angeordnet sein.From the EP 0 676 241 A1 a shower head is known in which a turbine is arranged, which leads to a periodic movement of the jet outlet body relative to the showerhead housing. Between the turbine and the jet outlet body, a reduction gear can be arranged.

Bei einer aus der WO 00/10720 A1 bekannten Brauseeinrichtung macht die Strahlaustrittsscheibe eine exzentrische Bewegung, ohne sich zu verdrehen. Die als Hülsen aus elastischem Material bestehenden Strahlaustrittselemente bewegen sich dabei auf einem Kegel, wobei alle Strahlaustrittselemente parallel zueinander bleiben.At one of the WO 00/10720 A1 known shower device makes the jet exit disc an eccentric movement without twisting. The existing as sleeves of elastic material jet outlet elements move on a cone, all beam exit elements remain parallel to each other.

Ebenfalls bekannt sind Massagebrausen, bei denen Strahlaustrittsöffnungen in sehr schneller Folge geöffnet und geschlossen werden. Dabei soll ein pulsierender Strahl geschaffen werden, der eine Massagewirkung beim Auftreffen auf der Haut erzeugen soll.Also known are massage showers in which jet outlet openings are opened and closed in a very fast sequence. In this case, a pulsating beam is to be created, which should produce a massage effect when hitting the skin.

Weiterhin ist aus der EP 0 563 595 A1 eine als Brausekopf nicht geeignete Rotordüse für ein Hochdruckreinigungsgerät bekannt, die in einem Gehäuse zwei drehbar gelagerte Strahlaustrittselemente und eine wasserbetriebene Antriebseinrichtung aufweist, wobei zwischen dem Antrieb und den Strahlaustrittselementen ein Untersetzungsgetriebe angeordnet ist.Furthermore, from the EP 0 563 595 A1 a not suitable as a shower head rotor nozzle for a high-pressure cleaner, which has two rotatably mounted jet outlet elements and a water-driven drive means in a housing, wherein between the drive and the jet outlet elements, a reduction gear is arranged.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Brausekopf der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der ein bewegtes Strahlbild mit einer deutlich erkennbaren Bewegungsform erzeugen soll und gegenüber dem oben erwähnten Stand der Technik die Realisierung variabler Strahlbilder zulässt und mit vergleichsweise geringem Aufwand herstellbar ist.The invention is based on the object to provide a shower head of the type mentioned, a moving spray pattern with a clearly visible To generate motion form and compared to the above-mentioned prior art, the realization of variable jet images allows and can be produced with relatively little effort.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung einen Brausekopf mit den im Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmalen vor. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a shower head with the features mentioned in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.

Der von der Erfindung vorgeschlagene Brausekopf enthält ein Brausekopfgehäuse, in den ein Wassereinlass führt. Der Brausekopf wird auf der für die Benutzung vorgesehenen Seite von einer Strahlaustrittsfläche abgeschlossen, die von einem Strahlboden des Gehäuses gebildet ist. In dem Brausekopfgehäuse gibt es mindestens ein Strahlaustrittselement, das das Brausewasser aus der Strahlaustrittsfläche ausgibt. Das Strahlaustrittselement ist verdrehbar in dem Gehäuse gelagert. Es wird von einer Antriebseinrichtung verdreht, die von dem strömenden Wasser angetrieben wird. Zwischen dem Antrieb und dem Strahlaustrittselement ist ein Untersetzungsgetriebe angeordnet, so dass das Strahlaustrittselement sich entsprechend relativ langsam verdreht. Das Strahlmuster, das das Strahlaustrittselement abgibt, ändert sich in einer solchen Weise, dass es der Benutzer deutlich wahrnehmen kann. Es soll also kein pulsierender Strahl erzeugt werden, sondern ein sich in seiner Richtung oder seinem Verlauf ändernder Strahl, bei dem diese Änderung von dem Benutzer auch optisch wahrgenommen werden kann.The shower head proposed by the invention includes a showerhead housing into which a water inlet leads. The shower head is closed on the intended for use side of a beam exit surface, which is formed by a beam bottom of the housing. In the showerhead housing, there is at least one jet outlet element which discharges the shower water from the jet exit surface. The jet outlet element is rotatably mounted in the housing. It is rotated by a drive device which is driven by the flowing water. Between the drive and the jet outlet element, a reduction gear is arranged, so that the jet outlet element accordingly rotates relatively slowly. The beam pattern that emits the beam exit element changes in such a way that the user can clearly perceive it. Thus, it is not intended to generate a pulsating beam, but rather a beam changing in its direction or course, in which this change can also be visually perceived by the user.

Das mindestens eine Strahlaustrittselement kann in dem Brausekopfgehäuse so angeordnet sein, dass es nicht als speziell in seiner Funktion erkennbares Teil anzusehen ist. Es braucht insbesondere nicht deutlich aus dem Brausekopfgehäuse herausragen, da die von dem Benutzer zu erkennende optische Wirkung sich an dem Strahlbild allein bemerkbar machen soll.The at least one jet outlet element can be arranged in the showerhead housing in such a way that it can not be regarded as a part that is specifically recognizable in its function. In particular, it does not need to protrude significantly from the showerhead housing, since the optical effect to be recognized by the user should be noticeable on the spray pattern alone.

Als Untersetzungsgetriebe, das dafür sorgen soll, dass die Strahlaustrittselemente sich relativ langsam verdrehen, dient ein Schneckengetriebe. Dies macht es möglich, dass die Schnecke dieses Schneckengetriebes direkt mit einem Strahlaustrittselement wirkverbunden ist, beispielsweise in einen Zahnkranz des Strahlaustrittselements eingreift.As a reduction gear, which should ensure that the jet outlet elements rotate relatively slowly, a worm gear is used. This makes it possible that the worm of this worm gear directly with a Beam outlet element is operatively connected, for example, engages in a ring gear of the jet outlet element.

Auf eine Innenfläche des Strahlbodens ist ein Gehäuseoberteil aufgelegt, das einen wasserführenden Hohlraum freilässt und gegen axiales Verschieben des mindestens einen Strahlaustrittselements sichert.On an inner surface of the jet bottom, an upper housing part is placed, which leaves a water-bearing cavity and secures against axial displacement of the at least one jet outlet element.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Strahlaustrittselement mindestens einen Durchgang aufweist, der exzentrisch und/oder schräg zur Drehachse des drehbar gelagerten Strahlaustrittselements angeordnet ist. Bei einem rein exzentrisch aber parallel zur Drehachse angeordneten Durchgang ändert der durch diesen Durchgang austretende Strahl seine Positionen, bleibt aber im wesentlichen immer parallel zu sich selbst. Bei einem schrägen Verlauf ändert der Strahl auch seine Richtung. Bei einer Kombination aus einem exzentrischen und schrägen Verlauf ändert der Strahl beides.In a further development of the invention it can be provided that the jet outlet element has at least one passage which is arranged eccentrically and / or obliquely to the axis of rotation of the rotatably mounted jet outlet element. In a purely eccentric arranged but parallel to the axis of rotation passage exiting through this passage beam changes its positions, but remains essentially always parallel to itself. In an oblique course of the beam also changes its direction. With a combination of an eccentric and oblique shape, the beam changes both.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Brausekopfgehäuse mehrere Strahlaustrittselemente aufweist, von denen vorzugsweise alle von der Antriebseinrichtung angetrieben werden. Denkbar wäre es auch, mehrere Strahlaustrittselemente anzuordnen, von denen beispielsweise eins feststehend ist, während die anderen angetrieben werden.In a further development of the invention can be provided that the showerhead housing has a plurality of jet outlet elements, of which preferably all are driven by the drive device. It would also be conceivable to arrange a plurality of jet outlet elements, one of which is fixed, for example, while the others are driven.

So wie es mehrere verdrehbare Strahlaustrittselemente geben kann, kann der Brausekopf nach der Erfindung in Weiterbildung auch in mindestens einem Strahlaustrittselement mehrere Durchgänge aufweisen, die exzentrisch und/oder schräg zur Drehachse angeordnet sind.Just as there may be a plurality of rotatable jet outlet elements, the shower head according to the invention can also have, in a further development, a plurality of passages in at least one jet outlet element which are arranged eccentrically and / or obliquely to the axis of rotation.

Bei mehreren schräg zur Drehachse verlaufenden Durchgängen in einem Strahlaustrittselement kann in Weiterbildung vorgesehen sein, dass diese parallel zueinander verlaufen.In the case of a plurality of passages extending obliquely to the axis of rotation in a jet outlet element, it can be provided in a further development that these run parallel to one another.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass dann, wenn mehrere Strahlaustrittselemente vorhanden sind, deren Drehachsen parallel zueinander verlaufen.In a further development of the invention, it can be provided that, if a plurality of jet outlet elements are present, their axes of rotation run parallel to one another.

Es ist aber ebenfalls möglich und liegt im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass bei mehreren Strahlaustrittselementen die Drehachsen mindestens zweier Strahlaustrittselemente nicht parallel zueinander verlaufen, sondern einen von 0° verschiedenen Winkel miteinander einschließen. Hierbei kann es sich um einen sehr kleinen Winkel handeln.However, it is also possible and within the scope of the invention that, in the case of several jet outlet elements, the axes of rotation of at least two jet outlet elements do not run parallel to one another but enclose an angle other than 0 ° with one another. This can be a very small angle.

Es wurde bereits erwähnt, dass bei mehreren Strahlaustrittselementen diese gemeinsam angetrieben werden. Es kann nun erfindungsgemäß in Weiterbildung vorgesehen sein, dass von mehreren Strahlaustrittselementen mindestens zwei in der gleichen Richtung drehangetrieben sind.It has already been mentioned that with several jet outlet elements they are driven together. It can now be provided according to the invention in a development that at least two are rotationally driven by a plurality of jet outlet elements in the same direction.

Es ist aber auch möglich, dass Strahlaustrittselemente in umgekehrter Richtung drehangetrieben sind.But it is also possible that jet outlet elements are rotationally driven in the opposite direction.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass mindestens zwei, vorzugsweise alle Strahlaustrittselemente mit der gleichen Umfangsgeschwindigkeit angetrieben werden.In development of the invention can be provided that at least two, preferably all jet outlet elements are driven at the same peripheral speed.

Ebenfalls möglich ist es, dass die Strahlaustrittselemente mit unterschiedlicher Umfangsgeschwindigkeit angetrieben werden.It is also possible that the jet outlet elements are driven at different peripheral speed.

Als besonders sinnvoll hat es sich herausgestellt, wenn bei mehreren Strahlaustrittselementen alle Strahlaustrittselemente die gleiche Größe und/oder Konfiguration aufweisen.It has proven to be particularly useful if, with several jet outlet elements, all the jet outlet elements have the same size and / or configuration.

Weiterhin ist es möglich, dass die Schnecke direkt mit einer Turbine verbunden ist, die zu der Antriebseinrichtung gehört.Furthermore, it is possible that the screw is directly connected to a turbine that belongs to the drive device.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Wassereinlass in das Brausekopfgehäuse seitlich erfolgt, insbesondere quer zur Drehachse des Strahlaustrittselements. Es kann dabei vorgesehen sein, das in diesem seitlichen Wassereinlass die Turbine angeordnet ist. Die Verwendung eines seitlichen Einlasses macht es möglich, den Brausekopf auch als Handbrause auszubilden. Dann kann der Einlass in der üblichen Weise durch den Handgriff erfolgen. Aber auch bei einer Kopfbrause kann der seitliche Einlass dazu führen, dass das Brausekopfgehäuse relativ flach ausgebildet ist, wobei auch hier der seitliche Einlass zur Befestigung des Brausekopfgehäuses dienen kann.In a further development of the invention can be provided that the water inlet takes place laterally in the showerhead housing, in particular transversely to the axis of rotation of the jet outlet element. It may be provided that the turbine is arranged in this lateral water inlet. The use of a side inlet makes it possible to form the shower head as a hand shower. Then, the inlet in the usual way by the handle respectively. But even with an overhead shower, the side inlet can cause the showerhead housing is relatively flat, with the lateral inlet can serve to attach the showerhead housing here.

In this beam exit surface 4 four openings 5 are arranged, through each of which a jet outlet element 6 can be seen. Each of these jet outlet elements 6 has a plurality of jet outlet openings 7, which are indicated here only schematically.

Figur 2 zeigt nun einen Querschnitt durch das Einlassgehäuse 2. In dem Einlassgehäuse 2 ist ein Ringraum 8 gebildet, innerhalb dessen ein inneres Gehäuse 9 angeordnet ist. Das in das Einlassgehäuse 2 einströmende Wasser gelangt zunächst in diesem Ringraum 8. In dem inneren Gehäuse 9 ist eine Turbine 10 mit einzelnen Flügeln 11 drehbar gelagert. Aus dem Ringraum 8 führen im dargestellten Beispiel drei Einlassöffnungen 12 schräg in das Innere des inneren Gehäuses 9, so dass das aus dem Ringraum 8 durch die Einlassöffnungen 12 strömende Wasser auf die Flügel 11 trifft und dadurch die Turbine 10 in Drehung versetzt. FIG. 2 now shows a cross section through the inlet housing 2. In the inlet housing 2, an annular space 8 is formed, within which an inner housing 9 is arranged. The inflowing into the inlet housing 2 Water first passes into this annulus 8. In the inner housing 9, a turbine 10 is rotatably mounted with individual wings 11. From the annular space 8, in the illustrated example, three inlet openings 12 lead obliquely into the interior of the inner housing 9, so that the water flowing out of the annular space 8 through the inlet openings 12 strikes the wings 11 and thereby causes the turbine 10 to rotate.

Die Flügel 11 der Turbine 10 sind an einer Welle 13 angeformt, die sich quer durch das Brausekopfgehäuse 1 erstreckt und an ihrem gegenüberliegenden Ende 14 in dem Brausekopf gelagert ist. Dies ist in dem Schnitt der Figur 3 zu sehen, auf die jetzt Bezug genommen wird. Die Welle 13 ist als Schnecke eines Schneckengetriebes ausgebildet. Sie verläuft durch einen Hohlraum 15 in dem Brausekopf. In dem Brausekopf sind, wie bereits erwähnt, mehrere Strahlaustrittselemente 6 angeordnet, und zwar drehbar. Die Art der Lagerung wird im Folgenden noch erklärt werden. Die Strahlaustrittselemente weisen an ihrem in das Innere des Brausekopfgehäuses 1 gerichteten Ende einen Zahnkranz 16 auf, der in Eingriff mit der Schnecke der Welle 13 stehen. Das die Turbine 10 antreibende Wasser gelangt durch einen Boden des inneren Gehäuses 9 in das Innere des Brausekopfgehäuses 1 und von dort durch die Öffnungen 7 der Strahlaustrittselemente 6 ins Freie. Man kann der Figur 3 schon entnehmen, dass die Öffnungen durch die Strahlaustrittselemente 6 schräg verlaufen. Durch den Eingriff der Zahnkränze 16 in die Schnecke der Welle 13 drehen sich die in Figur 3 unterhalb der Schnecke gezeichneten Strahlaustrittselemente beide in die gleiche Richtung, ebenfalls die oberhalb der Schnecke gezeichneten Strahlaustrittselemente 6. Die oberen Strahlaustrittselemente drehen sich aber in umgekehrter Drehrichtung zu den unteren Strahlaustrittselementen 6. Die Welle 13 ist nicht nur an ihrem dem Rotor 10 abgewandten Ende 14 gelagert, sondern auch zwischen dem Rotor und dem Schneckenabschnitt in einem vorderen Lager 17.The wings 11 of the turbine 10 are formed on a shaft 13 which extends transversely through the showerhead housing 1 and is mounted at its opposite end 14 in the shower head. This is in the cut of FIG. 3 to see, to which reference is now made. The shaft 13 is formed as a worm of a worm gear. It passes through a cavity 15 in the shower head. In the shower head, as already mentioned, a plurality of jet outlet elements 6 are arranged, namely rotatable. The type of storage will be explained below. The jet outlet elements have on their directed into the interior of the showerhead housing 1 end of a sprocket 16, which are in engagement with the worm of the shaft 13. The turbine 10 driving water passes through a bottom of the inner housing 9 in the interior of the showerhead housing 1 and from there through the openings 7 of the jet outlet elements 6 into the open. You can do that FIG. 3 already deduce that the openings through the jet outlet elements 6 are oblique. By engaging the sprockets 16 in the worm of the shaft 13, the rotate in FIG. 3 The upper jet outlet elements rotate but in the reverse direction of rotation to the lower jet outlet elements 6. The shaft 13 is not only supported at its end facing away from the rotor 10 14 , but also between the rotor and the screw section in a front bearing 17.

Nun zu Figur 4. Das Brausekopfgehäuse weist einen die Strahlaustrittsfläche 4 bildenden Strahlboden 18 auf, der relativ dick ausgebildet ist. Dieser Strahlboden 18 enthält für jedes Strahlaustrittselement sechs eine kreiszylindrische Lagerbohrung 19, die dafür sorgt, dass das Strahlaustrittselement 6 drehbar gelagert ist. Auf die Innenfläche 20 des Strahlbodens 18 ist ein Oberteil 21 aufgelegt, das einen Wasser führenden Hohlraum 22 freilässt, aber die Verschiebung eines Strahlaustrittselements 6 nach oben begrenzt beziehungsweise verhindert. Dadurch sind die Strahlaustrittselemente 6 drehbar, axial aber unverschieblich in dem Gehäuse gelagert.now to FIG. 4 , The shower head housing has a jet outlet surface 4 forming the beam bottom 18, which is relatively thick. This jet bottom 18 contains for each jet outlet element six a circular cylindrical bearing bore 19, which ensures that the jet outlet element 6 is rotatably mounted. On the inner surface 20 of the jet bottom 18, an upper part 21 is placed, which leaves a water-carrying cavity 22, but limits the displacement of a jet outlet element 6 upwards or prevented. As a result, the jet outlet elements 6 are rotatable but axially non-displaceably mounted in the housing.

Die Strahlaustrittselemente sind ebenfalls relativ dick ausgebildet, wobei der Zahnkranz 16 an ihrem in das Innere gerichteten Ende angeordnet ist und innerhalb des Zahnkranzes ein Freiraum 23 gebildet ist. Dieser Freiraum 23 dient dazu, das Wasser zu führen. Die Öffnungen 7, aus denen das Wasser austritt, sind die Öffnungen von Durchgängen 24, die geradlinig ausgebildet sind und dadurch dem Wasser eine bestimmte Richtung verleihen. Wie man der Figur 4 entnehmen kann, verlaufen die Durchgänge bei der Ausführungsform, die hier dargestellt ist, sowohl exzentrisch als auch schräg zur Drehachse der Strahlaustrittselemente 6.The jet outlet elements are also formed relatively thick, wherein the ring gear 16 is disposed at its end directed into the interior and within the ring gear a clearance 23 is formed. This space 23 serves to guide the water. The openings 7, from which the water emerges, are the openings of passages 24, which are rectilinear and thereby impart a certain direction to the water. How to get the FIG. 4 In the embodiment shown here, the passages extend both eccentrically and obliquely to the axis of rotation of the jet outlet elements 6.

Die Figur 5 zeigt eine Ausführungsform, bei der fünf Strahlaustrittselemente in ähnlicher Weise in dem Strahlboden 18 gelagert sind wie bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 3 und 4. Die mit dem Rotor 10 verbundene Welle 13 ist hier etwas kürzer ausgebildet und weist auch einen etwas kürzeren Schneckenabschnitt 25 auf. Die Welle 13 ist unmittelbar beim Eintritt in das Brausekopfgehäuse 1 bei 17 gelagert. Der Schneckenabschnitt 25 der Welle 13 steht nur mit dem Zahnkranz 16 eines ersten Strahlaustrittselements 6 in Eingriff. Der Rotor 10 treibt also zunächst über die Schnecke 25 nur den Zahnkranz 16 eines ersten Strahlaustrittselements 6 an. Dieser Zahnkranz 16 kämmt mit einem Zwischenzahnrad 26, das dann in den Zahnkranz 16 des nächsten Strahlaustrittselements 6 eingreift. Dies setzt sich für alle Strahlaustrittselemente 6 fort. Durch die Anordnung der Zwischenzahnräder 26 wird dafür gesorgt, dass sich alle Strahlaustrittselemente 6 in der gleichen Drehrichtung drehen.The FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in which five jet outlet elements are mounted in a similar manner in the beam bottom 18 as in the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4 , The shaft 13 connected to the rotor 10 is somewhat shorter here and also has a somewhat shorter screw section 25. The shaft 13 is mounted at 17 when entering the showerhead housing 1. The worm portion 25 of the shaft 13 is engaged only with the ring gear 16 of a first jet exit element 6. The rotor 10 thus initially drives only the sprocket 16 of a first jet outlet element via the worm 25 6 on. This ring gear 16 meshes with an intermediate gear 26, which then engages in the ring gear 16 of the next jet outlet element 6. This continues for all jet outlet elements 6. The arrangement of the intermediate gears 26 ensures that all jet outlet elements 6 rotate in the same direction of rotation.

Lässt man die Zwischenzahnräder 26 weg, erhält man eine Anordnung, wie sie in Figur 6 dargestellt ist. Auch hier kämmt die Schnecke 25 der mit dem Rotor 10 verbundenen Welle 13 nur mit dem Zahnkranz 16 eines ersten Strahlaustrittselements 6. Dieser Zahnkranz 16 greift dann direkt in den Zahnkranz 16 des benachbarten Strahlaustrittselements 6 ein, was sich dann wiederum für alle Strahlaustrittselemente 6 fortsetzt. Bei der in Figur 6 dargestellten Ausführungsform drehen sich also benachbarte Strahlaustrittselemente 6 jeweils in umgekehrter Drehrichtung.Leaving the intermediate gears 26, one obtains an arrangement as shown in FIG. 6 is shown. Here, too, the worm 25 meshes with the shaft 10 connected to the shaft 13 only with the ring gear 16 of a first jet outlet element 6. This ring gear 16 then engages directly into the ring gear 16 of the adjacent jet outlet element 6, which in turn continues for all jet outlet elements 6. At the in FIG. 6 illustrated embodiment, therefore, rotate adjacent jet outlet elements 6 each in the reverse direction of rotation.

Selbstverständlich sind auch Kombinationen dieser Anordnungen möglich, nämlich direkt miteinander in Verbindung stehende Strahlaustrittselemente und Strahlaustrittselemente mit Zwischenzahnrädern 26.Of course, combinations of these arrangements are possible, namely directly related jet outlet elements and jet outlet elements with intermediate gears 26th

Bei dem Schnitt der Figur 4 ist zu erwähnen, dass hier die Lagerbohrungen 19 für alle Strahlaustrittselemente 6 als kreiszylindrische Bohrungen mit parallelen Achseln ausgebildet sind. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass diese Lagerbohrungen nicht parallel zueinander verlaufen, sondern einen von null verschiedenen Winkel miteinander einschließen. Dies ist schematisch in Figur 7 dargestellt. Hier schließen die Lagerbohrungen 29 für die Strahlaustrittselemente 6 einen Winkel ein, so dass die Achsen der Lagerbohrungen 29 sich in Strahlrichtung der Brause einander annähern. Die Lagerbohrungen sind also in Strahlrichtung konvergierend angeordnet. Bei dem Antrieb durch eine Schnecke ist dies sehr einfach möglich, wie man der Figur 7 ebenfalls entnehmen kann. Aber auch bei dem Antrieb durch Zahnräder ist eine solche Anordnung möglich.At the intersection of FIG. 4 It should be mentioned that here the bearing bores 19 are formed for all jet outlet elements 6 as circular cylindrical bores with parallel axles. But it is also possible that these bearing bores do not run parallel to each other, but include a non-zero angle with each other. This is schematically in FIG. 7 shown. Here, the bearing bores 29 for the jet outlet elements 6 form an angle, so that the axes of the bearing bores 29 approach each other in the jet direction of the shower. The bearing bores are thus arranged converging in the beam direction. When driven by a screw, this is very easy, how to do the FIG. 7 can also be found. But also when driven by gears, such an arrangement is possible.

Ein Brausekopfgehäuse enthält mehrere Strahlaustrittselemente mit jeweils mehreren schräg verlaufenden, Strahlöffnungen bildenden Durchgängen. Die Strahlaustrittselemente sind drehbar in dem Gehäuse gelagert und werden von einem wasserbetriebenen Rotor über ein Untersetzungsgetriebe in eine langsame Umdrehung versetzt. Wegen des schrägen Verlaufs der Durchgänge vollführen daher die aus dem Brausekopf austretenden Strahlen bestimmte Bewegungen, die für den Benutzer der Brause optisch erkennbar sind. Die Strahlaustrittselemente können alle in der gleichen Richtung oder abwechselnd in unterschiedliche Richtungen drehangetrieben sein.A shower head housing contains a plurality of jet outlet elements, each having a plurality of obliquely extending, beam openings forming passages. The jet outlet elements are rotatably mounted in the housing and are set by a water-driven rotor via a reduction gear in a slow rotation. Because of the oblique course of the passages, therefore, the jets emerging from the shower head perform certain movements that are visually recognizable to the user of the shower. The jet exit elements may all be rotationally driven in the same direction or alternately in different directions.
