Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower head according to the documents WO 2009/023391 A1 and WO 2007/026153 A1 according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • shower heads with different shape from the usual water jet with a round cross-section are for example from the document WO 02/28540 A1 known.
  • the in this document in the FIG. 3 shower head 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 from the DE 202 12 727 U1 known.
  • 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. Through these nozzles exits a water curtain when the shower head parts swung apart are 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 directs the water in the first pivot position to the first-mentioned nozzle set and in the second pivot position to the second-mentioned nozzle set. This shower head is very expensive and expensive to manufacture.
  • the WO 2009/023391 A1 describes systems having a water supply line for a plurality of individual showerheads or an elongate showerhead.
  • the WO 2007/026153 A1 describes oval shower heads with a central spray group and two lateral spray groups extending from the center line to each side edge of the shower head. All three spray groups are selectively closable by means of a remote-controlled actuator.
  • 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.
  • the shower head fulfills the same tasks as the one from the publication DE 202 12 727 U1 known 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 elongate housing is concave from the point of view of the showering user. 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 can be closed and the central nozzles can not be closed.
  • 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 has 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 device in the first switching position and in its second detent position moves the shut-off device in its second switching position.
  • the push-button can engage similar to the operating knob of a pen on a locking mechanism in two positions. By simply pressing 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 a greater inclination to the vertical to 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.
  • At the bottom of the housing e.g. be arranged along the curved center line of the housing five diffusers. In a short distance from the bottom of the housing, e.g. at intervals of 10 to 20 cm, the rays of adjacent diffusers merge into each other and form a closed curtain of water.
  • a simple slide shut off the water supply channel leading to the outer nozzles.
  • 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 shower head, 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 that projects into the housing and has 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.
  • the shower head with a flat housing but can also be placed in a space-saving suitcase or a bag and used, for example, when traveling.
  • the shower head consists of an elongated housing 1, whose center line extends along a circle.
  • a tubular connecting piece 2 is arranged, whose free end is provided with an external thread 3.
  • the external thread 3 is used for attachment to a water pipe 4 (see FIGS. 1 to 3 ).
  • the hollow connecting piece 2 directs the water from the water pipe 4 to the interior of the housing 1.
  • the housing 1 can be usefully made by plastic injection molding.
  • FIG. 4 shows that the diffusers 5 extend substantially the entire length of the elongated, curved housing 1.
  • the diameter of the diffusers 5 is only slightly smaller than the width of the housing 1.
  • the showering person 8 arranges the shower head according to the invention preferably in the neck area, so that the water curtain on the neck and the shoulders of the showering person 8 (FIG. Figures 1 and 2 ) pours, but the hair stays dry.
  • a manually operable lever 9 is arranged, which forms part of a shut-off device.
  • the shut-off device has a bell 10 fixedly connected to the lever 9, which is rotatably received in the housing 1.
  • the bell 10 forms an annular gate valve for the water flowing to the side diffusers 5.
  • This shaft position is in the FIGS. 11 and 12 shown.
  • the bell 10 has opposing windows 11, which are aligned in this first switching position with passage channels 12 which are arranged in the wall 10 surrounding the bell 10 of the housing. In the bell 10 inflowing water can flow through the windows 11 and through the passageways 12 in the lateral regions of the housing 1 and exit from all the diffusers 5 over the entire length of the shower head.
  • the resulting water curtain is in the Figures 1 and 2 shown.
  • the inflowing water flows through an inflow opening 13 in the upper region of the bell 10.
  • the inflow opening 13 extends over an angular range of about 90 ° and are in any rotational position of the bell 10 between the two mutually offset by 90 ° switching positions the passage for the water from the interior of the connecting piece 2 in the interior of the bell 10 free.
  • the second rotational position of the bell 10 is in the FIGS. 8 and 10 shown.
  • the windows 11 are rotated by 90 ° to the passageways 12.
  • the wall of the bell 10 obstructs the passage of the water into the lateral areas of the housing 1.
  • FIG. 8 To recognize the water in this rotational position of the bell 10 can emerge exclusively through the central shower head 5, which is located immediately below the bell
  • this rotational position of the bell 10 is the entire pressure of the water in the water pipe 4 to the central diffuser 5 at. It emerges from the middle diffuser 5 a purge jet, which in FIG. 3 can be seen. This purge jet is stronger than the water curtain, which arises when the water exits through all the diffusers 5.
  • shut-off device is merely an example. Any other embodiments of such shut-off devices are conceivable within the scope of the claims.
  • slides can be used which shut off passage openings for water flowing to the side diffusers.
  • the bell 10 can be made in one piece with the diffuser 5, so that simply by turning the diffuser 5, the side diffusers can be shut off.
  • Any other shut-off mechanisms on or near the housing 1 may be used to shut off the flow of water into the side diffusers.
  • the shut-off devices are to be designed so that it is possible to switch over with a handle between the two switching positions of the shut-off device.

Nearly twice as many nozzles are arranged per square centimeter in the middle of the housing as in the lateral sections (wings) of the housing 1 '. This causes the water jet emerging in the middle, is very strong with closed housing wings and can reliably rinse off soap or shampoo.
  • the water flow is switched by a push button 14.
  • the push-button 14 can be pressed in the manner of a push button in the direction of the connecting piece 2 'in the housing 1' in.
  • the feeler 14 is connected via a coupling element 22 with a shut-off body 20.
  • the return spring 21 presses the shut-off body in the direction of the feeler slide 14.
  • a detent mechanism (not shown), which acts similar to the detent mechanism of a ballpoint pen, defines two detent positions of the feeler 14 and thus of the Shut-off body 20. The first detent position is in FIG. 15 shown.
  • FIG. 15 shows that the shut-off body 20 has two lateral arms, at the end of each a sealing ring 15 and a sealing pin 16 are arranged.
  • a first flow cross-section 17, which leads to the central nozzles 6 ', is opened in both detent positions of the shut-off body 20.
  • a second flow cross section 18, which leads to the lateral nozzles 6 ', is in the first switching position (FIG. FIG. 15 ) completely open and in the second switching position ( FIG. 16 ) completely closed by the sealing ring 15. Consequently, the sealing ring 15 locks in the second switching position ( FIG. 16 ) the water flow to the lateral areas of the housing 1 'from.
  • FIGS. 15 and 16 It can be seen that the water flow to the lateral areas of the housing takes place on the one hand around elongated 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 1 'occurs. So with opened second flow cross sections 18 the flow to the central nozzles 6 'is not much stronger than the flow to the lateral nozzles, the sealing pegs 16 protrude in the first switching position in the first flow cross-section and close it partially. As a result, the open area of the first flow cross section 17 is reduced and the flow throttled through this flow cross section 17. The result is a substantially uniform flow through the nozzles 6 'in the lateral areas of the housing 1' and the nozzles 6 'in the middle of the housing 1'.
  • the push-button-like operation of the feeler 14 makes the operation of this shut-off extremely simple, so that a showering person, even with his eyes closed safe operation with wet hands is possible.
