Definitions
- the invention relates to a water feature according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such water features in which a nozzle is fed by a pump from a water tank, are usually constructed in outdoor areas, especially private gardens, so that nozzle and pump are integrated into an existing larger water tank, e.g. a pond can be used.
- the effort for creating or introducing the water tank or pond is usually quite large.
- the environment must also be taken into account so that a generated water jet does not strike areas that are not suitable for it.
- the invention is so far the object of the invention to provide a water feature that can be installed easily and individually in an environment. This object is achieved by a water feature with the features of claim 1.
- the water tank on top has a cover which has a slope from its outer edge to the nozzle, splashing water from the nozzle exiting water jet is always incident on the cover to the nozzle and via a nozzle disposed near the opening region of the cover into the container interior returned.
- the cover is connected to the nozzle, possibly even such that it can be lifted out of the container together with the nozzle.
- the cover should cover a substantial part of the container top. It is also advantageous if the cover still projects beyond the water tank on the outside and at least a certain area of the installation environment overlaps. This facilitates the introduction of the water tank, for example in the ground, since the edge areas are covered.
- the illustrated water feature has a water tank 1, a nozzle 2 received therein, and a pump 3 disposed inside the water tank 1 Fig. 2 recognizable, the pump 3 is directly connected to the nozzle 2.
- the pump 3 can also be connected via an extension tube 4 or telescopic tube with the nozzle 2, as it is in Fig. 3 is shown.
- the water feature preferably has an integrated illumination device 5, in particular an LED light. For optimum illumination of the water jet and for the best possible protection of the lighting device 5 may be arranged as shown preferably in the nozzle 2 itself.
- the water feature according to the invention has a cover 6 which covers substantial areas of the upper side of the water container 1 and has a gradient from the outer edge 6 'to the inner edge 6 "and thus to the nozzle 2.
- the slightly conical shape allows water to splash onto the cover 6 into the water tank 1, for which purpose the cover 6 leaves an opening 7 on the inside to the water tank 1.
- the cover 6 is preferably wave-shaped, as shown, The wave troughs resulting in this embodiment preferably run radially towards the nozzle 1, whereby a return transport
- the cover 6 preferably projects beyond the water container 1 on the outside, so that spray water that hits in the vicinity is safely returned, and also simplifies the installation of the water play, for example into a floor 8 (see FIG Fig. 5 ) or in any other installation environment.
- the cover 6 since the cover 6 does not have to be the same size in every case of use, it preferably has markings 9 which serve as cutting aids for a possible reduction of the cover 6.
- the markings 9 are provided on the underside of the cover 6, as shown, so that they do not interfere visually on the upper side.
- the markings 9 recesses, in particular grooves, which are helpful in scissor guidance.
- the markings 9 preferably run around concentrically.
- the Fig. 2 . 3 and 5 further show that the water feature around the nozzle 2 may have a splash guard 10 which reliably splashes water of the nozzle 2 absorbs and dampens. Pulp is particularly suitable as material for this purpose.
- the splash guard 10 may be formed increased around it. In the illustrated embodiment, this is realized by an additional, smaller splash guard ring 10 '. This also has the function of limiting decorative materials, such as stones 11 (see Fig. 5 ), so that they do not rest directly on the nozzle 2 and can disturb the water image.
- the water feature is optimally adapted to the environment, without the need for a complex installation.
- the decorative material 11 must be removed, and the unit of cover 6, nozzle 2 and pump 3 can be completely lifted out of the container 1.
- the connection of the cover 6 to the nozzle 2 is preferably carried out via an at least partially elastic sleeve 12, which can also compensate for minor installation angle differences.
- cover 6 with nozzle 2 and pump 3 can also be used on other water tanks, not shown. Also for the cover 6 is generous in size and shaped like a collar collar.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Wasserspiel nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a water feature according to the preamble of claim 1.
Derartige Wasserspiele, bei denen eine Düse über eine Pumpe aus einem Wasserbehälter gespeist wird, sind in Außenbereichen, insbesondere Privatgärten, meist so aufgebaut, dass Düse und Pumpe in einen vorhandenen größeren Wasserbehälter, z.B. einen Teich eingesetzt werden. Der Aufwand zur Erstellung bzw. Einbringung des Wasserbehälters oder Teiches ist üblicherweise recht groß. Auch muss der Umgebung Rechnung getragen werden, damit nicht ein erzeugter Wasserstrahl auf Bereiche trifft, die dafür nicht geeignet sind.Such water features, in which a nozzle is fed by a pump from a water tank, are usually constructed in outdoor areas, especially private gardens, so that nozzle and pump are integrated into an existing larger water tank, e.g. a pond can be used. The effort for creating or introducing the water tank or pond is usually quite large. The environment must also be taken into account so that a generated water jet does not strike areas that are not suitable for it.
Der Erfindung liegt insoweit die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Wasserspiel zu schaffen, dass sich leicht und individuell in eine Umgebung einbauen lässt. Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Wasserspiel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The invention is so far the object of the invention to provide a water feature that can be installed easily and individually in an environment. This object is achieved by a water feature with the features of claim 1.
Dadurch, dass der Wasserbehälter obenseitig eine Abdeckung hat, die von ihrem äußeren Rand zur Düse hin ein Gefälle aufweist, wird auf die Abdeckung auftreffendes Spritzwasser des aus der Düse austretenden Wasserstrahls stets zur Düse und über einen nahe der Düse angeordneten Öffnungsbereich der Abdeckung in das Behälterinnere zurückgeleitet. Bevorzugt ist die Abdeckung mit der Düse verbunden, ggf. sogar derart, dass sie zusammen mit der Düse aus dem Behälter herausgehoben werden kann. Die Abdeckung sollte einen wesentlichen Teil der Behälteroberseite abdecken. Es ist außerdem von Vorteil, wenn die Abdeckung den Wasserbehälter außenseitig noch überragt und zumindest einen gewissen Bereich der Einbauumgebung übergreift. Dies erleichtert das Einbringen des Wasserbehälters beispielsweise in den Boden, da die Randbereiche überdeckt werden.Characterized in that the water tank on top has a cover which has a slope from its outer edge to the nozzle, splashing water from the nozzle exiting water jet is always incident on the cover to the nozzle and via a nozzle disposed near the opening region of the cover into the container interior returned. Preferably, the cover is connected to the nozzle, possibly even such that it can be lifted out of the container together with the nozzle. The cover should cover a substantial part of the container top. It is also advantageous if the cover still projects beyond the water tank on the outside and at least a certain area of the installation environment overlaps. This facilitates the introduction of the water tank, for example in the ground, since the edge areas are covered.

Das erfindungsgemäße Wasserspiel hat eine Abdeckung 6, die wesentliche Bereiche der Oberseite des Wasserbehälters 1 abdeckt und vom äußeren Rand 6' zum inneren Rand 6" und damit zur Düse 2 hin ein Gefälle aufweist. Durch die leicht konische Form kann auf die Abdeckung 6 spritzendes Wasser in den Wasserbehälter 1 zurückgeleitet werden, wozu die Abdeckung 6 innenseitig eine Öffnung 7 zum Wasserbehälter 1 hin freilässt. Die Abdeckung 6 ist wie dargestellt bevorzugt wellenförmig ausgebildet. Die sich bei dieser Ausführungsform ergebenen Wellentäler laufen vorzugsweise radial auf die Düse 1 zu, wodurch ein Rücktransport von Spritzwasser begünstigt wird. Bevorzugt überragt die Abdeckung 6 den Wasserbehälter 1 außenseitig, so dass auch im Umkreis auftreffendes Spritzwasser sicher zurückgeleitet wird. Außerdem vereinfacht dies den Einbau des Wasserspiels beispielsweise in einen Boden 8 (siehe
Da die Abdeckung 6 jedoch nicht in jedem Nutzungsfall gleich groß sein muss oder darf, hat sie bevorzugt Markierungen 9, die als Schneidhilfen für eine eventuelle Verkleinerung der Abdeckung 6 dienen. In vorteilhafter Weise sind die Markierungen 9 wie dargestellt an der Unterseite der Abdeckung 6 vorgesehen, so dass sie auf der Oberseite optisch nicht stören. Vorzugsweise sind die Markierungen 9 Ausnehmungen, insbesondere Rillen, die bei der Scherenführung behilflich sind. Um eine gleichmäßige Verkleinerung der Abdeckung 6 sicherzustellen, laufen die Markierungen 9 bevorzugt konzentrisch um.However, since the

Auch wenn der Wasserbehälter 1 optimal auf die Abmessung der übrigen Elemente des Wasserspiels abgestimmt ist, können Abdeckung 6 mit Düse 2 und Pumpe 3 auch auf anderen, nicht dargestellten Wasserbehältern zum Einsatz kommen. Auch dafür ist die Abdeckung 6 in ihrer Abmessung großzügig und in der Form kragenartig ausgebildet.Even if the water tank 1 is optimally matched to the size of the other elements of the water feature,
