Description

Kopf- oder Seitenbrause Head or side shower
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Kopf- oder Seitenbrause zum Einbau in eine Decke oder Wand mit einer schwenkbaren Strahlbildnereinheit.The present invention relates to a head or side shower for installation in a ceiling or wall with a pivotable jet forming unit.
Bei fest installierten Kopf- oder Seitenbrausen ist es vorteilhaft, wenn Neigung und Richtung des Brausestrahls variiert werden können. Bei modernen Kopf- und Seitenbrausen ist es zusätzlich gewünscht, dass diese möglichst flach oder sogar annähernd bündig mit der Decken- oder Wandoberfläche ausgeführt werden. Beispielsweise ist aus der DE 100 11 504 A1 ein Brausekopf mit einem Kugelabschnitt und einer Kugelschale bekannt, die wiederum senkrecht zueinander angeordnete Führungen aufweisen, so dass der Brausekopf in eine vertikale und eine horizontale Achse verstellt werden kann. Weiterhin ist aus der WO 2006/09 3954 A1 eine Seitenbrause zum Einbau in eine Wand bekannt, deren Strahlbildnerelement mittels eines um zwei zueinander senkrecht angeordnete Achsen drehbaren Kupplungselements rundum schwenkbar ist.For fixed head or side showers, it is advantageous if the inclination and direction of the shower spray can be varied. For modern overhead and side showers, it is also desirable that they are as flat as possible or even approximately flush with the ceiling or wall surface. For example, from DE 100 11 504 A1 discloses a shower head with a ball portion and a spherical shell are known, which in turn have mutually perpendicular guides, so that the shower head can be adjusted in a vertical and a horizontal axis. Furthermore, from WO 2006/09 3954 A1 discloses a side shower for installation in a wall is known, the Strahlbildnerelement is pivotable by means of a rotatable about two mutually perpendicular axes coupling element.
Falls die Brause mit der Decken- oder Wandoberfläche bündig sein so!!, ist es neben einer möglichst flachen Konstruktion und Bauweise erforderlich, dass die Brause an unterschiedliche Wandstärken bzw. an unterschiedliche Wandaufbauten oder -Verkleidungen angepasst werden kann. Vor diesem Hintergrund besteht die Aufgabe der Erfindung darin, eine Konstruktion für Kopf- und Seitenbrausen bereitzustellen, die den vorgenannten Erfordernissen entspricht. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die vorliegende Erfindung gelöst. Mit der Erfindung wird eine Kopf- oder Seitenbrause zum Einbau in eine Wand oder Decke bereitgestellt, die eine schwenkbare Strahlbildnereinheit aufweist. Die Lagerung der Strahlbildnereinheit erfolgt mittels eines wasserdurchströmten Kugelgelenks, dessen zugehöriges Kugelgehäuse die Strahlbildnereinheit umgibt und kippbar angeordnet ist. Weiterhin weist das Kugelgehäuse einen Außenflansch auf, der sich bis zur Decken- oder Wandoberfläche erstreckt. Durch die kompakte Bauweise von Kugelgelenkbaugruppe, die das Kugelgehäuse und das Kugelgelenk umfasst, und Strahlbildnereinheit wird eine Kopf- oder Seitenbrause mit sehr geringer Tiefe erzielt. Zur Anpassung an unterschiedliche Decken- oder Wandstärken ist zwischen einem Wasseranschluss und dem Kugelgehäuse ein Verbindungselement vorgesehen. Dieses ermöglicht die verschiebliche Anordnung des Kugelgehäuses senkrecht zur Decken- oder Wandoberfläche. Insgesamt sind neben dem Tiefenausgleich eine Feinjustierung der Brause und gegebenenfalls eine Winkelverstellung zur Anpassung an mögliche Neigungen in der Decke oder Wand möglich.If the shower with the ceiling or wall surface be flush so !!, it is in addition to a flat as possible construction and design required that the showerhead can be adapted to different wall thicknesses or to different wall structures or -Verkleidungen. Against this background, the object of the invention is to provide a construction for head and side showers, which meets the aforementioned requirements. This object is achieved by the present invention. With the invention, a head or side shower for installation in a wall or ceiling is provided, which has a pivotable jet-forming unit. The storage of the jet-forming unit is effected by means of a water-flowed ball joint whose associated ball housing surrounds the jet-forming unit and is tiltably arranged. Furthermore, the ball housing has an outer flange which extends to the ceiling or wall surface. Due to the compact design of the ball joint assembly, which includes the ball and ball joint, and the jet forming unit, a very short depth head or side shower is achieved. To adapt to different ceiling or wall thicknesses, a connecting element is provided between a water connection and the ball housing. This allows the slidable arrangement of the ball housing perpendicular to the ceiling or wall surface. Overall, in addition to the depth compensation a fine adjustment of the shower and optionally an angle adjustment for adaptation to possible inclinations in the ceiling or wall possible.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind Befestigungsmittel vorgesehen, mit denen das Kugelgehäuse an dem Verbindungselement fixiert und gleichzeitig der Außenflansch des Kugelgehäuses gegen die Decken- oder Wandoberfläche festgelegt wird.According to one embodiment of the invention fastening means are provided, with which the ball housing fixed to the connecting element and at the same time the outer flange of the ball housing is fixed against the ceiling or wall surface.
Gerade bei Kopf- oder Seitenbrausen mit eckiger Außenkontur ist es von Vorteil, wenn das Kugelgehäuse an einer verdrehbar am Verbindungselement gelagerten Scheibe oder Ringscheibe mittels Schrauben befestigt werden kann, da die Ausrichtung der Brause dann unabhängig von der Position der Befestigungsmittel erfolgen kann. Aufgrund der verdrehbaren Anordnung der Ringscheibe kann die Position der Schraubenlöcher der Position des Kugelgehäuses angepasst werden. An der Ausrichtung des Kugelgehäuses braucht bei dessen Fixierung nichts mehr verändert zu werden. Die Ringscheibe enthält mehrere Gewindebohrungen zur Aufnahme der Schrauben und ist in einer Nut am Verbindungselement in axialer Richtung festliegend gelagert. Das Kugelgehäuse kann zunächst entsprechend der Wandverkleidung ausgerichtet werden, so dass bei rechteckigen Brausen die Gehäuse exakt horizontal und vertikal ausgerichtet sind. Anschließend wird das Kugelgehäuse an dem Verbindungselement, das zum Tiefenausgleich dient, mittels der Schrauben befestigt. Dazu ist das Verbindungselement verkürzbar und/oder mehrteilig ausgeführt.Especially with head or side showers with angular outer contour, it is advantageous if the ball housing can be attached to a rotatably mounted on the connecting element washer or washer by means of screws, since the alignment of the shower can then be independent of the position of the fastener. Due to the rotatable arrangement of the annular disc, the position of the screw holes of the position of the ball housing can be adjusted. At the orientation of the ball housing needs nothing more to be changed in its fixation. The annular disc contains a plurality of threaded bores for receiving the screws and is mounted in a groove on the connecting element in the axial direction fixed. The ball housing can first be aligned according to the wall panel, so that in rectangular shower enclosures are aligned exactly horizontal and vertical. Subsequently, the ball housing is fastened to the connecting element, which serves for depth compensation, by means of the screws. For this purpose, the connecting element can be shortened and / or executed in several parts.
Das Verbindungselement umfasst auf der einen Seite ein Anschlussgewinde, das mit dem Gewinde des Wasseranschlusses korrespondiert. Auf der der Strahlbildnereinheit zugewandten Seite vergrößert sich der Querschnitt des Verbindungselementes sprunghaft, so dass eine Aufnahme für einen Anschlussnippel des Kugelgehäuses gebildet wird. Vorteilhafterweise sind Verbindungselement und/oder Aufnahme für den Anschlussnippel des Kugelgehäuses rotationssymmetrisch ausgeformt, so dass die Position des Verbindungselements für die Ausrichtung des Kugelgehäuses unerheblich ist. Der Anschlussnippel des Kugelgehäuses ist wiederum verschieblich und kippbar in der Aufnahme des Verbindungselements geführt. Dessen endgültige Position und somit die Position des Kugelgehäuses wird ebenfalls über die oben beschriebenen Schrauben bestimmt. Damit ist eine besonders feine Ausrichtung und Justierung des Kugelgehäuses möglich. Weiterhin ist das Kugelgehäuse so ausgeformt, dass in dem Anschlussnippel des Kugelgehäuses eine Aufnahme für ein Sieb und/oder einen Rückflussverhinderer vorgesehen ist, wodurch sich eine Platz sparende Anordnung für diese Bauteile ergibt.The connecting element comprises on one side a connecting thread which corresponds to the thread of the water connection. On the side facing the jet-forming unit, the cross-section of the connecting element increases abruptly, so that a receptacle for a connection nipple of the ball housing is formed. Advantageously, connecting element and / or receptacle for the connection nipple of the ball housing are rotationally symmetrical, so that the position of the connecting element for the alignment of the ball housing is irrelevant. The connection nipple of the ball housing is in turn guided displaceably and tiltably in the receptacle of the connecting element. Its final position and thus the position of the ball housing is also determined by the screws described above. For a particularly fine alignment and adjustment of the ball housing is possible. Furthermore, the ball housing is formed so that in the connection nipple of the ball housing, a receptacle for a sieve and / or a backflow preventer is provided, resulting in a space-saving arrangement for these components.
Zur Abdichtung der Kopf- oder Seitenbrause gegenüber der Decke oder Wand sind das Verbindungselement, das Kugelgehäuse mit Kugelgelenk und die Strahlbildnereinheit in einem Einbaugehäuse angeordnet. Dieses Einbaugehäuse ist ebenfalls verkürzbar und/oder mehrteilig ausgeführt. Üblicherweise sind bei allen Armaturen, die in die Decke oder Wand eingebaut werden, aus dekorativen Gründen Rosetten oder Rahmen an der Vorderseite vorgesehen, die die Armatur, in diesem Fall die Seiten- oder Deckenbrause, umgeben und einen Abschluss gegenüber der Wand bilden. Üblicherweise weisen diese auch Dichtelemente auf, die entweder zwischen Armatur und Wand oder aber zwischen Rosette und dem Innenbereich der Armatur abdichten. Bei rechteckigen oder quadratischen Kopf- oder Seitenbrausen muss darauf geachtet werden, dass die Rosette, die das Kugelgehäuse überdeckt, so ausgeführt ist, dass sie beim Verschwenken der Strahlbildnereinheit nicht den Blick auf den Innenraum oder die Konstruktion der Brause freigibt.To seal the head or side shower relative to the ceiling or wall, the connecting element, the ball housing with ball joint and the Strahlbildnereinheit are arranged in a mounting housing. This installation housing is also shortened and / or executed in several parts. Usually, all fittings that are installed in the ceiling or wall, provided for decorative reasons rosettes or frames on the front, which surround the fitting, in this case, the side or ceiling shower, and form a conclusion against the wall. Usually, these also have sealing elements which seal either between the valve and the wall or between the rosette and the interior of the valve. In the case of rectangular or square overhead or side showers, care must be taken that the rosette covering the ball housing is designed such that it does not reveal the interior or the construction of the shower head when the jet unit is swiveled.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die Rosette daher so ausgeführt, dass sie die nach außen gerichtete Seite des Kugelgehäuses überdeckt und nur den Bereich der Gelenkpfanne freigibt, in dem die Gelenkkugel und die anschließende Strahlbildnereinheit befestigt sind.Advantageously, the rosette is therefore designed so that it covers the outwardly directed side of the ball housing and only the area of the socket is released, in which the joint ball and the subsequent Strahlbildnereinheit are attached.
Beim Befestigen der Rosette, die den Außenflansch des Kugelgehäuses vollständig überdeckt, wird dabei das Kugelgehäuse gegen die Wand- oder Deckenoberfläche beaufschlagt und somit gleichzeitig mit der Rosette festgelegt.When attaching the rosette, which completely covers the outer flange of the ball housing, while the ball housing is applied against the wall or ceiling surface and thus fixed simultaneously with the rosette.
Zusätzlich kann die Kopf- oder Seitenbrause an der nach außen und / oder innen gerichteten Seite des Kugelgehäuses Wasserablaufvorrichtungen aufweisen, so dass sowohl Wasser, das in den Anschlussbereich hinter das Kugelgehäuse dringt, als auch Wasser, das in den Raum zwischen Kugelgehäuse und Strahlbildnereinheit gelangt, wieder aus der Seitenbrause herausgeführt werden kann.In addition, the head or side shower on the outwardly and / or inwardly directed side of the ball housing have water drain devices, so that both water that penetrates into the connection area behind the ball housing, and water that enters the space between the ball housing and Strahlbildnereinheit, can be led out of the side shower again.
Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass zur Steuerung der Durchflussmenge an der Kopf- oder Seitenbrause eine Reguliereinrichtung vorgesehen ist. Hierzu ist im Verbindungsbereich von wasserdurchströmten Kugelgelenk und Strahlbildnereinheit eine Reguliermutter mit variablen Öffnungsquerschnitten vorgesehen. Beim Anschluss mehrerer Kopf- oder Seitenbrausen an einen gemeinsamen Wasseranschluss kann somit über die Regelung der Durchflussöffnungen trotz unterschiedlicher anstehender Wasserdrücke an den einzelnen Kopf- oder Seitenbrausen ein einheitliches Strahlbild erzielt werden.A development of the invention provides that a control device is provided for controlling the flow rate at the head or side shower. For this purpose, a regulating nut with variable opening cross-sections is provided in the connection region of water-flowed ball joint and jet-forming unit. When connecting multiple headers or Side sprays to a common water connection can thus be achieved by regulating the flow openings despite different pending water pressures at the individual head or side showers a uniform spray pattern.
Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung durch einige Ausführungsbeispiele anhand zeichnerischer Darstellungen näher erläutert.In the following the invention is explained in more detail by some embodiments with reference to drawings.

This connection nipple 90 has a flange on which a mounting box 20 is applied, which is pushed onto the connection nipple 90. From its inside, the mounting box 20 is fixed with a threaded nut 91 on the connection nipple 90. Furthermore, the mounting box 20 can be fixed to the wall 70 after alignment by means of dowels and screws. After cleaning, the installation box 20 is sealed in the outer area opposite the wall with a sealing sleeve 21, after which the decorative wall paneling can be attached. Following this, the installation box 20 is shortened according to its installation depth, so that it ends flush with the wall covering, for example, the tile mirror.
Bei der Montage der Seitenbrause ist zunächst die erforderliche Einbautiefe zwischen Wandoberfläche bzw. Außenkante des eingebauten Einbaukastens 20 und dem Anschlussnippel 90 zu messen. Gegebenenfalls ist hier zusätzlich zum Verbindungselement 40 ein Verlängerungsstück 80 erforderlich, dass den Anschlussgeometrien von Anschlussnippel 90 und Verbindungselement 40 entsprechen muss, um eine dichte Verbindung zu gewährleisten.When installing the side shower, the required installation depth between the wall surface or outer edge of the built-in installation box 20 and the connection nipple 90 must first be measured. Optionally, in addition to the connecting element 40, an extension piece 80 is required here, which must correspond to the connection geometries of the connection nipple 90 and the connecting element 40 in order to ensure a sealed connection.
Anschließend wird das Verbindungselement 40 entweder direkt an dem Anschlussnippel 90 oder dem Verlängerungsstück 80 befestigt. Zuvor ist das Verbindungselement 40 mit entsprechenden Toleranzen an die gemessene Einbautiefe angepasst worden.Subsequently, the connecting element 40 is fastened either directly to the connecting nipple 90 or the extension piece 80. Previously, the connecting element 40 has been adapted with appropriate tolerances to the measured installation depth.
Auf der der Wandoberfläche zugewandten Seite des Verbindungselements 40 vergrößert sich der Querschnitt des Verbindungselements 40 sprunghaft, so dass eine Aufnahme 43 für einen Anschlussnippel 56 des Kugelgehäuses 51a, 51b entsteht. Im Lieferzustand ist das Kugelgehäuse 51a, 51 b bereits mit einem Rückflussverhinderer 53 und einem Sieb 52, die im Anschlussnippel 56 angeordnet sind, ausgestattet. Das Kugelgehäuse 51a, 51 b ist außerdem schon mit einer Feder 54, einer Scheibe und einer Dichtung, die unterhalb des Kugelgelenks 55a angeordnet sind, und dem Kugelgelenk 55a, 55b selbst zu einer Baugruppe vormontiert.On the side of the connecting element 40 facing the wall surface, the cross section of the connecting element 40 increases abruptly, so that a receptacle 43 for a connecting nipple 56 of the ball housing 51a, 51b is formed. In the delivery state, the ball housing 51 a, 51 b already with a backflow preventer 53 and a sieve 52, which in Connection nipple 56 are arranged equipped. The ball housing 51a, 51b is also already preassembled with a spring 54, a washer and a seal, which are arranged below the ball joint 55a, and the ball joint 55a, 55b itself to form an assembly.
Zur Befestigung des Kugelgehäuses 51a, 51b an dem Verbindungselement 40 ist an dem Verbindungselement 40 eine verdrehbare Ringscheibe 41 angeordnet, die in axialer Richtung festliegt. Im vorliegenden Fall liegt die Ringscheibe 41 an einem Flansch des Verbindungselements 40 an und ist mittels eines Sicherungsringes 44 fixiert. Wenn die Position des Kugelgehäuses 51a, 51 b gegenüber der Wandoberfläche bestimmt ist, wird das Kugelgehäuse 51a, 51b oder je nach Ausführungsform eine Baugruppe aus Rosette 60a und Kugelgehäuse 51a mit Schrauben 42 an der Ringscheibe 41 verschraubt.For fixing the ball housing 51a, 51b on the connecting element 40, a rotatable annular disk 41 is arranged on the connecting element 40, which is fixed in the axial direction. In the present case, the annular disc 41 bears against a flange of the connecting element 40 and is fixed by means of a securing ring 44. When the position of the ball housing 51a, 51b relative to the wall surface is determined, the ball housing 51a, 51b or, depending on the embodiment, an assembly of escutcheon 60a and ball housing 51a is screwed to the annular disc 41 with screws 42.
Da der Anschlussnippel 56 des Kugelgehäuses 51a, 51 b in der Aufnahme des Verbindungselements 40 axial verschieblich und kippbar gelagert ist, kann das Kugelgehäuse 51a, 51 b sehr genau an die Wandoberfläche angepasst werden. Selbst nach der Anpassung der Länge des Verbindungselements 40 können noch eine Feinjustage in axialer Richtung, also senkrecht zur Wandoberfläche, und eine Winkelanpassung an eventuelle Neigungen in der Wandoberfläche erfolgen. Die Endposition des Kugelgehäuses 51a, 51 b und damit der Seitenbrause wird nach der Ausrichtung des Kugelgehäuses 51a, 51 b durch die Schrauben 42 fixiert. Alternativ kann die Ringscheibe 41 auch mit festen Gewindebolzen versehen sein und das Kugelgehäuse 51a, 51 b bzw. die komplette Baugruppe 51a, 60a mit Gewindemuttern an den Gewindebolzen befestigt werden.Since the connection nipple 56 of the ball housing 51a, 51b is mounted axially displaceably and tiltably in the receptacle of the connecting element 40, the ball housing 51a, 51b can be adapted very precisely to the wall surface. Even after the adjustment of the length of the connecting element 40 can still fine adjustment in the axial direction, ie perpendicular to the wall surface, and an angular adjustment to any inclinations in the wall surface done. The end position of the ball housing 51 a, 51 b and thus the side shower is fixed after the alignment of the ball housing 51 a, 51 b by the screws 42. Alternatively, the annular disc 41 may also be provided with fixed threaded bolts and the ball housing 51a, 51b or the complete assembly 51a, 60a are fastened to the threaded bolt with threaded nuts.
Nach der Verschraubung des Kugelgehäuses 51a, 51 b in dem das Kugelgelenk 55a, 55b bereits vormontiert ist, wird die Strahlbildnereinheit 10a, 10b, die eine Schweißbaugruppe 11a, 11b umfasst, an dem Kugelgelenk 55a, 55b befestigt. Während an dem Kugelgelenk 55a, 55b eine ringförmige Nut vorgesehen ist, weist die Schweißbaugruppe 11a, 11b einen Anschlusszylinder 13 auf, der in die Nut eingeschoben wird. Die endgültige Befestigung der Schweißbaugruppe 11a,11 b, die eine Wasserverteilkammer und einen Strahlbildner mit Wasserauslassöffnungen umfasst, an dem Kugelgelenk 55a, 55b erfolgt über eine Zentralschraube 15, in die eine Regulierschraube 12 integriert ist. Mittels der Regulierschraube 12 wird die Durchflussmenge pro Seitenbrause eingestellt. Bei der Anordnung mehrerer Seitenbrausen in Reihe an einen Wasseranschluss kann somit die Durchflussmenge an die unterschiedlichen Druckverhältnisse angepasst werden, so dass übereinstimmende Strahlbilder erzeugt werden können. Abschließend wird auf die Schweißbaugruppe 11a, 11 b eine Abdeckung 14a, 14b aufgeschoben, die die Schweißbaugruppe 11a, 11 b rundum überdeckt.After screwing the ball housing 51a, 51b in which the ball joint 55a, 55b is already preassembled, the beam forming unit 10a, 10b, which comprises a welding assembly 11a, 11b, attached to the ball joint 55a, 55b. While at the ball joint 55a, 55b a annular groove is provided, the welding assembly 11a, 11b, a connecting cylinder 13 which is inserted into the groove. The final attachment of the welding assembly 11 a, 11 b, which comprises a water distribution chamber and a jet former with water outlet openings, on the ball joint 55 a, 55 b via a central screw 15, in which a regulating screw 12 is integrated. By means of the regulating screw 12, the flow rate per side shower is set. In the arrangement of several side showers in series to a water connection, the flow rate can thus be adapted to the different pressure conditions, so that matching jet images can be generated. Finally, a cover 14a, 14b is pushed onto the welding assembly 11a, 11b, which covers the welding assembly 11a, 11b completely.
Durch die kompakte Bauweise können bei der erfindungsgemäßen Seitenbrause sehr geringe Einbautiefen von kleiner 5cm realisiert werden. Bei gleicher Bauweise der Seitenbrause ist es durch das variable Verbindungselement 40 jedoch auch möglich, Einbautiefen von 9 bis 10cm zu erreichen.Due to the compact design very small installation depths of less than 5cm can be realized in the side shower invention. With the same construction of the side shower, however, it is also possible by means of the variable connecting element 40 to achieve mounting depths of 9 to 10 cm.
Die Figuren 1 bis 3 zeigen Seitenbrausen mit verschwenkbarer eckiger Strahlbildnereinheit 10a. Bei der Montage der Seitenbrause steht die exakte Ausrichtung der eckigen Strahlbildnereinheit 10a gegenüber dem Kugelgehäuse 51a im Vordergrund. Aus diesem Grund weist das Kugelgelenk 55a Mittel zur Drehfixierung 551 der Strahlbildnereinheit 10a auf. Dazu können an dem Kugelgelenk 55a Nippel oder Stifte vorgesehen sein, die mit dafür vorgesehenen Ausnehmungen in der Gelenkpfanne 57a korrespondieren, so dass die Strahlbildnereinheit 10a nur in bestimmten vorgegebenen Positionen eingebaut werden kann.FIGS. 1 to 3 show side showers with pivotable angular spray unit 10a. When mounting the side shower, the exact alignment of the square jet-forming unit 10a with respect to the ball housing 51a is in the foreground. For this reason, the ball joint 55a has means for rotationally fixing 551 the jet-forming unit 10a. For this purpose, nipples or pins may be provided on the ball joint 55a, which correspond with recesses provided in the joint socket 57a, so that the beam-forming unit 10a can be installed only in certain predetermined positions.
Bei den dargestellten Seitenbrausen ist eine Rosette 60a vorgesehen, die die nach außen gerichtete Seite des Kugelgehäuses 51a mit Ausnahme der Gelenkpfanne 57 umgibt. Diese wird zusammen mit dem Kugelgehäuse 51 a verschraubt und festgelegt. Die Montage der Strahlbildnereinheit 10a erfolgt im Anschluss daran. Im Gegensatz dazu zeigt die Figur 4 eine Seitenbrause mit verschwenkbarer runder Strahlbildnereinheit 10b im Einbauzustand. Im Gegensatz zur eckigen Bauform wird bei der runden Variante bei der Befestigung der Strahlbildnereinheit 10b keine Drehfixierung benötigt. Beim Montagevorgang erfolgt die Befestigung der Strahlbildnereinheit 10b vor der Befestigung der Rosette 60b. Anstelle einer Schraubverbindung ist das Kugelgehäuse 51 b mit Rasthaken und die Rosette 60b mit entsprechenden Ausnehmungen oder Nuten versehen, so dass die Rosette 60b formschlüssig an dem Kugelgehäuse 51 b befestigt werden kann. In the illustrated side showers a rosette 60a is provided which surrounds the outwardly directed side of the ball housing 51a with the exception of the socket 57. This is screwed together with the ball housing 51 a and fixed. The assembly of the beam-forming unit 10a takes place thereafter. In contrast, FIG. 4 shows a side shower with pivotable round jet-forming unit 10b in the installed state. In contrast to the angular design, no rotational fixation is required in the case of the round variant in the attachment of the jet-forming unit 10b. During the assembly process, the fastening of the jet-forming unit 10b takes place before the fastening of the rosette 60b. Instead of a screw connection, the ball housing 51 b is provided with latching hooks and the rosette 60 b is provided with corresponding recesses or grooves, so that the rosette 60 b can be fastened in a form-fitting manner to the ball housing 51 b.
