Definitions

  • a hand shower with such a shower head element is in the DE 10 2007 002 894 B3 disclosed.
  • a particularly flat design of the shower head is possible.
  • the switching of the water inlet from one sub-chamber to the other is done by turning the shower head element.
  • the only disadvantage is that the shower head element must be round, so that it can be swung back and forth in front of the stationary inlet element.
  • a design of possibly desired design of the shower head element in a non-round shape is not possible.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to continue to achieve a flat design and an easy-to-use and easy to seal switch the water inlet into the respective sub-chambers, but also to allow other contours of the shower head element.
  • the hollow chamber with its sub-chambers and their multiple inlet openings is not movable, but arranged in a stationary housing.
  • Water is passed from the outside, for example via the handle of a hand shower, to a likewise stationary arranged on the housing support member.
  • a pivotable distributor element is arranged, whose distributor head sweeps when switching over the convex outwardly curved outer wall of the hollow chamber. The fact that the distributor element is clamped between two stationary parts, a particularly accurate guidance and a secure seal can be achieved.
  • the distributor head is formed wider than the inlet area in the side wall with the inlet openings, in all positions in which the outlet opening is positioned in front of one of the inlet openings, the remaining inlet openings are sealed.
  • the pivotable distributor head preferably extends over a more than twice as large angle as the arcuate region which leads from the left outer inlet opening to the right outer inlet opening.
  • a single sealing element is provided which extends over the entire area to be covered by the distributor head and in which the outlet opening is arranged. When swiveling, the distributor head with its sealing element sweeps over the inlet area.
  • inlet openings to the inlet area individually or as a group are surrounded by a sealing ring and the distributor head with a rigid convex front wall, which contains the outlet opening, strokes over the housing fixedly installed seal.
  • each detent position with a separate sealing element.
  • dummy plugs are inserted from the outside at the distributor head. Only in a central recess, a sealing element is provided, which contains the outlet opening. If, for example, three inlet openings are provided on the hollow chamber, then a total of five sealing elements are arranged on the distributor head, namely the sealing element with the inlet opening in the middle and on both sides thereof two additional sealing blind plugs.
  • the distributor element may be formed as a module, in which the mutually movable parts are arranged completely functional to each other, so that they are a perfect fit.
  • the module can be locked into a recording frame of a superordinate construction group.
  • the jet-forming parts of the shower head elements may be modular, so that a hand shower initially only has an empty receiving frame, in which then the modules are used, so that a completely closed and functional on the underside hand shower is formed.
  • the installation and Vorrastanno the manufacturer is facilitated, because depending on the desired comfort and price range of the hand shower can easily more or less complex modules are used in the same outer housing or the user is even given the opportunity by supplying different types of modules, the spray pattern after his To put together wishes.
  • shower head elements that represent the functionally essential assembly of a hand shower. They can be integrated into a housing which i.a. a handle portion, with which the hand shower can be held and through which the water supply from the shower hose to the distributor head takes place.
  • the housing 110 comprises a hollow chamber 111 which is bounded by a side wall 115, which in relation to its extension in the area equipped with nozzle elements has a small height. So it is a flat design allows.
  • the side wall 115 is bent so that it has on its outer surface a concave shape in the manner of a portion of a cylinder jacket.
  • a plurality of inlet openings 112 are provided in the side wall 115. These serve to flow into individual chambers within the hollow chamber 111.
  • the subdivision of the shower head element 100 into individual chambers, which are equipped in particular at their bottom with different nozzles and thus produce different jet patterns and form different functional zones, is basically known from the aforementioned prior art, so that the subdivision into sub-chambers here only by dashed lines is indicated. Also, the contour of the hollow chamber 115 in all areas except in the inlet region 116, designed differently than shown here by way of example.
  • the housing 110 continues outside the hollow chamber 111 and there provides a receptacle 118 for the support member 130, in which the distributor element 120 is guided pivotably.
  • the housing 110 terminates on a flange plate 117.
  • the shower head element 100 may have attached, for example, to a handle housing. A water hose passing through the handle can be plugged directly onto the rear end of the support member 130.
  • a distributor element 120 with its curved, convex distributor head 123 lies in front of the concave outer wall in the inlet region 116.
  • the carrier element 130 widens at its front, the hollow chamber 111 facing the end to a spherical cap 131.
  • a ball body 122 which forms the end of the distributor element 120.
  • the distributor head 123 and the ball body 122 are connected to each other in the embodiment shown via a pipe section 121.
  • FIG. 1b shows the shower head element 100 in a fully cut representation. It can be seen here that the distributor head 123 is designed to be open toward the inlet region 116 of the hollow chamber 111 and has a cavity 128. Inserted therein is an elastomeric sealing element 126, which has the convex contour and is designed precisely matching the concave shape of the housing wall 115 in the inlet region 116.
  • the sealing element 126 and the outlet opening 127 of the distributor head 123 is arranged. Trained as a bore outlet opening 127 is to bring depending on the angular position of the distributor element 120 relative to the housing 110 with one of the three inlet openings 112 to cover the respective sub-chamber, which is associated with the inlet opening targeted.
  • the sealing element 126 is axially displaceably mounted in the cavity 128 of the distributor head, so that it can be pressed against the inlet region 116 due to a water pressure present in a water line 124.
  • the water conduit 124 leads through the ball body 122 into the carrier element 130.
  • FIG. 1b is also apparent that the ball body 122, an annular groove is introduced, which surrounds the water-carrying line 121 and in which a sealing ring 124 is inserted. Furthermore, a water supply line 135, which opens into the spherical cap 131 of the carrier element 130, can be seen.
  • FIG. 2a shows a second embodiment of a trained according to the invention shower head element 200th
  • inlet region 216 inlet openings 112 are introduced, in order to be able to flow targeted the again only indicated sub-chambers.
  • a distributor head 223 of a distributor element 220 Before the inlet region 216 again lies a distributor head 223 of a distributor element 220. This has a cavity 228 with an inserted sealing element 226, which has an outlet opening 227. In the illustrated position, the outlet opening 127 is located in front of a central inlet opening 212 of the inlet region 216.
  • the distributor element 220 also has a spherical body 222.
  • a spherical cap-shaped carrier element 230 is integrated into the housing 210.
  • a sealing member 232 is inserted, which is slidably disposed therein. It lies with a spherical cap-shaped funnel mouth 234 against the spherical body 222 of the distributor head 220, in the same area in which the water line 224 opens.
  • the sealing member 232 seals against the water inlet bore 231.
  • the elastic sealing collar 233 in the axial direction within the water inlet bore 231 cause a spring force. It is possible to effect or increase the contact pressure of the sealing element 232 on the ball body 222 via a compression spring inserted into the water inlet bore 231.
  • the ball body 222 has at the top and bottom of the pivot axis in each case a pin 229, which engages in each case in a bearing recess in the housing 210.
  • 300 are the shapes of the pivotally interconnected portions of the support member 330 and the manifold 320.
  • the distributor element 320 is formed at its rear end as a cheese-shaped body 322, and the carrier element 330 has a shell 322 compatible therewith.
  • the outer contour of the body 322 thus corresponds to a torus 321 with upper and lower flattened, closed surfaces. Due to the flattening the distributor element 320 is held in a pivoting plane and - unlike a ball in a spherical cap - can not pivot up or down, so that a high parallelism of the outer contour of the distributor head 320 with the inlet region 316 can be maintained and thereby a Particularly good sealing of the water transfer is achieved.
  • the rounded portions 321 in this shape can be better sealed against the associated shell 331 than would be the case with a cylindrical shape of the body 322 and the shell 331, as viewed in cross section no right angles occur in the gap to be sealed.
  • the distributor element 420 has an annular body 424 with an annular channel.
  • the central axis of the annular body 424 also forms the pivot axis of the distributor element 420.
  • arcuate guides 418 are formed, which guide the annular body 424.
  • FIG. 4b shows.
  • Water is introduced at an inlet opening 425 outside the cylinder 431 and passes from there into the annular channel of the annular body.
  • a sealing ring in a groove 433 on an outer cylindrical wall 432 of the support member 430 causes the seal to the distributor element 430.
  • a knob 429 is fixedly connected to the distributor element 430, and is in particular formed on the lower side of the distributor head 423.
  • the knob 429 protrudes at the bottom of a finished hand shower, so that the user can grab it and cause the adjustment of the spray pattern.
  • FIG. 5 shows a shower head element 500.
  • a hollow chamber 511 with inlet openings 512 in the inlet region 516 on a side wall 515 is identical in construction with all previously described embodiments completely.
  • a manifold 520 is similar in construction to the embodiment of the showerhead 400 of FIGS FIG. 4a and 4b , It has a substantially cylindrical annular body 524 which is guided on webs of a housing 510. From above, a support member 530 engages in the ring body 524, as he also in the embodiment according to FIG. 4 is described.
  • the outer chambers are provided with blind plugs 527, while the central chamber of the distributor head 523 contains a sealing element 526, which is also made of a soft plastic, to conform to the outer contour of the inlet region 516, but inside a through hole 528th via which the connection with the water-conducting annular channel 524 is produced.
  • a sealing element 526 which is also made of a soft plastic, to conform to the outer contour of the inlet region 516, but inside a through hole 528th via which the connection with the water-conducting annular channel 524 is produced.
  • FIG. 6 shows in a slightly perspective view from the bottom forth a shower head element 600 of a hand shower, which is formed from a plurality of separate showerhead modules 640, 650, 660.
  • the actual shower head connects, which contains a receiving frame 610, which opens to the bottom.
  • the shower head 600 and its mounting frame 610 are provided in the usual way with a closed lid surface.
  • a total of three showerhead modules 640, 30 are used in the illustrated embodiment.
  • the external showerhead modules 640 have a plurality of small nozzles 641, while the central showerhead module 650 is equipped with three microperlators 651.
  • a distributor element 620 is inserted into the receiving frame 610 between the water inlet and the showerhead modules 640, 650.
  • a knob 622, the switching of the water supply between the showerhead modules 640, 650 are made.
  • a diaphragm 611 may be provided, which covers the actual mounting frame 610 and the edge regions of the shower head modules 640 used.
  • the contour of the receiving frame 610 located below the panel 611 is indicated by the dashed lines.
  • the distributor element 640 is almost completely covered by the diaphragm 611. Only the knob 41 protrudes out of the aperture 611 at a slot recess 42.
  • FIG. 1 a single showerhead module 640 shown by way of example, which has a substantially trapezoidal contour. It is a simple, box-shaped hollow body, which may be formed from two half-shells, for example by laser beam welding.
  • FIG. 7 shows the shower head, in which the diaphragm 611 is removed from the mounting frame 610.
  • the shower head modules 640, 650 and the distributor element 640 inserted therein are shown cut at approximately half the height.
