Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand shower with a handle arranged on a shower head and a valve which is actuated by rotating the shower head, wherein the shower head has outlet openings through which water can escape with respect to the handle in a predetermined direction.
  • a hand shower of this type has become known in the art, for example, by EP-B-O 235 487.
  • the shower head can be operated with two different spray types.
  • the shower head is mounted on the handle and is pivoted to change the beam.
  • the shower jet is directed in a different direction.
  • JP 2007 130614 in which a change of the jet type also has a change in direction of the jet result.
  • DE-A-2426469 discloses a showerhead which is rotatably mounted on a fixedly mounted connection box. When turning the shower head, the spray mode can be changed. A handle is not provided with this sanitary shower.
  • Kitchen showers are also known in which the jet type can be switched with an actuating device.
  • a central beam the Also known as a hard jet and a shower jet possible.
  • the changeover is usually carried out by pressing a button, a lever or a push button.
  • the actuating element is preferably arranged under a membrane.
  • a membrane has only a limited life. The membrane must therefore be replaced after a certain period of time.
  • the assembly and production of such a membrane is relatively expensive.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a hand shower of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned and which is particularly suitable as a kitchen shower.
  • the object is achieved according to claim 1, characterized in that the shower head for actuating the valve is rotatable about an axis which is substantially parallel to the said predetermined direction of the beam.
  • valve is preferably arranged in the shower head and designed as a changeover valve and / or shut-off valve. In the case of a diverter valve, a changeover between at least two spray modes is possible. It is also conceivable to switch between more than two types of jet.
  • the valve may be formed by a part of the head in particular of the valve housing and a part of the handle, in particular of the water guide tube.
  • This valve is a diverter valve and / or shut-off valve.
  • a changeover between two and more than two jet types is also possible here.
  • the water in the shower head is deflected by a total of about 90 °.
  • a vertical downward beam is then possible by keeping the handle substantially horizontal. In this holding position, the jet can be changed without the direction of the beam changes.
  • Upon actuation of the valve by means of a rotary movement can be dispensed with the hitherto conventional return spring, which allows a simpler and more cost-effective production.
  • the shower head preferably has a substantially cylindrical, conical or spherical outer surface and that the handle extends substantially at right angles or inclined to this lateral surface.
  • the flow direction in the handle is substantially perpendicular to the direction of control in the shower head or to the outlet direction of the water.
  • Such a hand shower is particularly suitable as a kitchen shower. It can be held so that the jet exits downwards. Even with a changeover between two spray modes, the outlet jet is then directed downwards.
  • the shower head has a first outer side with said outlet openings and a second outer side extending substantially parallel and spaced from the first outer side.
  • the shower head can be made very compact and rotated to operate the valve.
  • For rotating the shower head is preferably taken on a circumferential surface.
  • the outflow direction of the water then runs substantially vertically to the two outer sides mentioned.
  • Preferably projecting cams, ribs or the like are mounted on the lateral surface, which allow an even safer and easier operation.

  • the sleeve is in particular a decorative sleeve.
  • the support of the front end of the sleeve on the shower head results in a particularly stable construction. This is especially true if a sliding ring is arranged between said front end of the sleeve and the outside of the shower head. This seal allows sealing of the sleeve relative to the shower head and at the same time supports the shower head on this sleeve.
  • the handle has a water guide tube which has a mouth part at a front end, which engages in an opening of a housing of the shower head and is sealed from a valve housing.
  • Said opening is according to a development of the invention, a slot which extends substantially coaxially to said certain direction of the water outlet.
  • the mouth part is according to a development of the invention depending on the rotational position of the shower head optionally connected to at least one first or a second water channel of the shower head. These two water channels are preferably connected to different Auseriesöfmieux, such as outlet nozzles. In principle, more than two positions are conceivable. In particular, a position can also be a closing position in which no water flows out of the shower head.
  • the valve of the shower head has a closure body which is adjustable between two positions and that the closure body has a control which is rotationally fixed with respect to the handle and is connected to a control curve of the shower head so that when turning of the shower head of the closure body is moved from one to the other position.

If the outer housing 13 according to FIG. 7 is rotated in the direction of the arrow 39 or in the direction of the arrow 40, then the two control cams 34 each act in a recess 33 on the control element 30 and raise or lower it in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the connection part 31, which in FIG an opening 41 is connected to the control element 30.
