Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower head according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • shower heads with a beam shape deviating from the usual water jet with a round cross section are known, for example, from document WO 02/28540 A1.
  • the shower head shown in this document in Figure 3 also called double shower, has a length of about 30 cm and a width of about 6 cm. The height is about 2 cm, so that there is a rigid flat housing with internal water ducts. At the two ends of the housing in each case a shower screen is arranged so that there is a double shower with two spaced-apart individual beams.
  • a more complete distribution of the water over the body of the showering person is achieved.
  • the greater the number of nozzles compared to conventional shower heads the strength of the exiting water jet is reduced.
  • a shower head which allows a good water distribution and a strong water jet, is known from DE 202 12 727 U 1.
  • the shower head consists of two shower head parts, which are pivotable to each other. Each shower head part has a nozzle set. The first nozzle set points downward when the shower head parts are pivoted into a mutually adjacent position. For this shower head occurs in this pivotal position of a circular water jet.
  • the second set of nozzles is located on the elongate of the swiveling showerhead parts. A water curtain emerges through these nozzles when the shower head parts are separated. are pivoted so that they extend in a horizontal direction.
  • the water curtain follows a curved line and can lie in the shoulder area of the showering person, so that the showering person is sprinkled with water evenly, without the exiting water makes the hair wet.
  • the joint for the shower head parts is designed as a rotary valve, which conducts the water in the first pivot position to the first-mentioned nozzle set and in the second Schwen k ein the second-mentioned nozzle set. This shower head is very expensive and expensive to manufacture.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a simple and inexpensive to produce shower head, on the one hand generates a concentrated jet of water and on the other hand, a wide-ranging water curtain. This object is achieved by the totality of the features of claim 1.
  • a shower head with a rigid housing which has a connection for a water pipe and at least one connectable to the water pipe water supply channel, which opens into nozzles, which are arranged on the in use downwardly facing side of the housing and exit through the water jets, the housing has a Llindl Ike flat shape is further developed in that the nozzles are distributed over substantially the entire length of the housing and the shower head is assigned a manually operable shut-off device with which the flow of water can be interrupted to a portion of the nozzle.
  • the shower head performs the same tasks as the well-known from the document DE 202 1 2 727 U 1 shower head. However, it has - except for the shut-off device for the lateral nozzles - no moving elements, in particular no pivoting shower head parts.
  • the shower head can be made as a simple plastic or metal housing from two interconnected shells. The water channel, which leads from the connection for the water line to the nozzles is thereby formed by the cavity within the housing. Such a shower head is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the nozzles may be arranged along a curved centerline.
  • the elongated housing may have a curved centerline even in the bottom view.
  • the elongated housing extends in use substantially parallel to the user's back surface and thus usually parallel to the user's back wall of the shower.
  • the curvature of the elongated housing from the point of view of the showering user concave. That is, the ends of the elongate housing are bent toward the user. In this way, the elongate housing extends substantially on a portion of a ring.
  • the user positions himself under the elongated housing so that his neck and neck are in the region of the center of the housing, with the two ends of the housing extending over the shoulders of the user. From the housing then emerges along a circular section running water curtain, which is in the middle of the neck or Pouring back of the user and at the lateral ends of the user's shoulders.
  • the nozzles arranged away from the center of the housing are closable and the central nozzles are non-closable.
  • the shut-off device releases the water flow to all nozzles in a first switching position and interrupts the water flow in a second switching position to the nozzles arranged away from the center of the housing.
  • the purge jet With closed side nozzles, the purge jet then emerges symmetrically to the center of the housing. This is particularly advantageous in embodiments in which the fastening means of the housing is arranged in the middle. Because the purge jet exits symmetrically to the center of the housing, it does not generate torque around the fastener and can not twist the housing.
  • the user's head is mid-way between the shoulders so that when switching to the flushing jet, the user does not have to change his position by shutting off the side nozzles of the shower head when he wants to wash his hair and directs the flushing jet at his head ,
  • the shower head may have at least two flow cross sections.
  • the water flows through a first flow cross-section to the nozzles arranged in the center of the housing.
  • the water flows through a second flow cross-section to the nozzles arranged away from the center of the housing.
  • the shut-off device closes the second flow cross-section in the second switching position.
  • the shut-off device can partially close the first flow cross-section and release the second flow cross-section.
  • the direction of the water to the lateral areas of the shower head takes place in practice by smaller flow cross-sections than the line of water to the central region of the shower head.
  • a partial closing of the first flow cross-section throttles the Flow to the middle nozzle something, so that a very uniform and homogeneous shower jet over the entire width of the shower head is formed.
  • the shut-off device may have a sliding against a return spring caliper, which remains at a first pressure on the caliper in a first detent position and remains at a second pressure on the caliper in a second detent position, the caliper in its first detent position the shut-off moved in the first switching position and in its second detent position the shut-off in the second switching position.
  • the feeler can, similar to the actuating knob of a ballpoint pen, snap into two positions via a detent mechanism. By simply pressing on the push-button, it is possible to switch between the two switching positions of the shut-off device. This is easy and works well with wet fingers.
  • connection for the water pipe can also be arranged in the middle of the shower head.
  • connection for the water pipe is an externally threaded connection piece, wherein the external thread simultaneously serves as fastening means of the housing.
  • the number of nozzles arranged per unit area in the center of the housing may be greater than the number of nozzles located away from the center of the housing.
  • the higher number of nozzles in the middle of the shower head produces a particularly strong stream of water.
  • the underside of the showerhead has a plurality of diffusers arranged along the centerline of the housing, each having a plurality of through holes forming the nozzles.
  • the diffusers are considered standard components for conventional shower heads made. They can be accommodated in the underside of the housing of the shower head according to the invention and thus form several, for example, five adjacent water jets.
  • the diffusers each produce a cone-shaped diverging water jet of a plurality of individual beams.
  • Each diffuser on the underside of the housing can be formed crowned for this purpose, wherein a nozzle in the middle generates a substantially perpendicular to the plane of the housing extending beam and the other nozzles with increasing distance from the center of the diffuser to a greater inclination to the vertical has the bottom of the housing.
  • the outer nozzles therefore radiate the water obliquely to the outside. It results in each diffuser a water jet, which is fanned out cone-shaped.
  • five diffusers can be arranged along the curved center line of the housing.
  • an annular gate valve can be rotatably arranged in the shower head. In a first rotational position, the gate valve releases a passage to the leading to the outside water supply channels. In a second rotational position of the gate valve shuts off these water supply channels and there is no water from the outer diffusers. In this second position, the shower head functions like a simple hand shower head, with the water exiting through a single diffuser in the center of the shower head.
  • the slider can be manually operated in practice.
  • movable controls may protrude out of the housing of the showerhead, which are coupled to the slider.
  • the user can depending on the desired mode of operation to move the controls to a first end position in which the influx is released to the outer nozzle, or move to one of the first opposite second end position in which the influx is shut off to the outer nozzle.
  • the slide can also be molded to the edge of the central diffuser.
  • the central diffuser may have an edge extending along a cylindrical surface projecting into the housing and having two opposed windows. These windows are aligned in a first rotational position with the water supply channels leading to the outside. In this rotational position, water flows from the port to all the diffusers. In a second rotational position, the leading water supply channels are blocked by the cylindrical edges, and the water flows only through the central diffuser to the outside.
  • the central diffuser is rotatably mounted on the housing.
  • the housing can be made very flat in practice. Also located on the housing connecting piece, which forms the connection for the water pipe and possibly the fastening means of the housing, can be inclined very little to the plane of the housing. As a result, the housing can be stacked well and stored space-saving.

  • FIG. 5 shows that the shut-off body 20 has two lateral arms, at the end of each a sealing ring 1 5 and a sealing pin 1 6 are arranged.
  • FIGS. 1 5 and 16 it can be seen that the flow of water to the lateral regions of the housing takes place on the one hand around elongate arms of the pressure hull 20 and on the other hand through a relatively thin tube 19. As a result, a restriction of the flow of water to the lateral areas of the housing V occurs. So when the second stream is open If the flow to the central nozzles 6 'is not very much greater than the flow to the lateral nozzles, the sealing pegs 1 6 project into the first flow cross-section in the first switching position and partially close it. As a result, the open area of the first flow cross section 1 7 is reduced and the flow throttled through this flow cross section 17.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une pomme de douche comportant un corps rigide (1) de forme oblongue et plate. Ce corps rigide (1) est pourvu d'un raccord destiné à un conduit d'eau (4) et d'au moins un canal de conduite d'eau pouvant se raccorder au conduit d'eau (4) et débouchant dans des busettes. Ces busettes par lesquelles s'écoulent des jets d'eau sont disposées sur la face du corps (1) qui est tournée vers le bas pendant l'utilisation. Les busettes sont réparties sensiblement sur toute la longueur du corps (1) et la pomme de douche est pourvue d'un dispositif d'arrêt à commande manuelle, qui permet de couper l'arrivée d'eau desservant une partie des busettes (6). Le modèle de pomme de douche proposé par l'invention, qui est simple et peu coûteux à fabriquer, permet de produire ainsi, d'une part, un jet d'eau concentré et, d'autre part, un rideau d'eau en éventail.
