Die Erfindung betrifft ein sanitäres Einbauteil, an das einen belüfteten Strahlregler aufweist oder als solcher ausgestaltet ist und ein Einbaugehäuse hat, welches Einbaugehäuse ein Gewinde aufweist zum Befestigen an einem am Wasserauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur vorgesehenen Gegengewinde und in das zumindest ein Einsetzteil bis zu einem Einsetzanschlag einsetzbar ist, wobei das Einbaugehäuse eine abströmseitige Gehäusestirnseite mit Durchflusslöchern hat und wobei die Umfangswandung des Einbaugehäuses wenigstens in einem zumindest doppelwandig ausgestalteten Teilbereich mindestens einen Belüftungskanal umgrenzt, der zur abströmseitigen Gehäusestirnseite hin offen ausgebildet ist und in wenigstens einer, in den Gehäuseinnenraum des Einbaugehäuses führenden Belüftungsöffnung mündet..The invention relates to a sanitary fitting to which has a vented jet regulator or configured as such and has a mounting housing, which mounting housing has a thread for attachment to a provided at the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting mating thread and inserted into the at least one insert part up to an insertion stop wherein the mounting housing has a downstream housing end face with flow holes and wherein the peripheral wall of the mounting housing at least in an at least double-walled designed portion bounds at least one ventilation channel, which is open to the downstream housing end open and opens into at least one, leading into the housing interior of the mounting housing ventilation opening ..

Sanitäre Einbauteile werden als Strahlformer, unbelüfteter Strahlregler, Strahlbelüfter, Durchflussmengenregler oder Rückflussverhinderer in den verschiedensten Ausführungen benötigt. So hat man beispielsweise auch belüftete Strahlregler, sogenannte Strahlbelüfter, geschaffen, die einen homogenen, nicht-spritzenden und perlend-weichen Wasserstrahl formen sollen.Sanitary components are required as jet former, non-aerated jet regulator, jet aerator, flow regulator or non-return valve in various designs. For example, aerated jet regulators, so-called jet aerators, have been created to form a homogeneous, non-spattering and pearly-soft jet of water.

Aus der US 3424387 A ist bereits ein sanitäres Einbauteil der eingangs erwähnten Art bekannt, das als belüfteter Strahlregler ausgestaltet ist. Der vorbekannte Strahlregler weist ein hülsenförmiges Einbaugehäuse auf, das an seinem zuströmseitigen Hülseninnenumfang ein Innengewinde hat, welches zum Befestigen an einem am Wasserauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur vorgesehenen Gegengewinde bestimmt ist. In den Hülseninnenraum des hülsenförmigen Einbaugehäuse ist zumindest ein Einsetzteil bis zu einem Einsetzanschlag einsetzbar. Das zumindest eine Einsetzteil ist als Strahlzerleger ausgebildet, der den zuströmenden Wasserstrom in eine Vielzahl von Einzelstrahlen aufzuteilen hat, die im Hülseninnenraum anschließend mit Umgebungsluft angereichert und belüftet werden sollen, bevor das derart belüftete Wasser als homogener Wasserstrahl durch Durchflusslöcher austritt, die an einer abströmseitigen Gehäusestirnseite des Strahlreglergehäuses vorgesehen sind. Um die zur Belüftung benötigte Umgebungsluft in den Hülseninnenraum des Einbaugehäuses zu führen, umgrenzt die Umfangswandung des Einbaugehäuses in einem doppelwandig ausgestalteten Teilbereich einen Belüftungskanal, der zur abströmseitigen Gehäusestirnseite hin offen ausgebildet ist und in wenigstens einer, in den Gehäuseinnenraum des Einbaugehäuses führenden Belüftungsöffnung mündet.From the US 3424387 A already a sanitary fitting of the type mentioned is known, which is designed as a ventilated jet regulator. The previously known jet regulator has a sleeve-shaped installation housing, which has an internal thread on its inflow-side sleeve inner circumference, which is intended to be fastened to a counter-thread provided on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting. In the sleeve interior of the sleeve-shaped installation housing at least one insert part can be used up to an insertion stop. The at least one insert part is designed as a jet splitter, which has to divide the incoming water flow into a plurality of individual jets, which are then enriched in the sleeve interior with ambient air and vented before the thus aerated water emerges as a homogeneous water jet through flow holes, which at a downstream housing end face the jet regulator housing are provided. In order to guide the ambient air needed for ventilation into the sleeve interior of the installation housing, the peripheral wall of the installation housing in a double-walled configured partial area surrounds a ventilation channel which is open towards the downstream housing end and opens into at least one ventilation opening leading into the housing interior of the installation housing.

Ein vergleichbarer belüfteter Strahlregler, der jedoch an seinem Strahlreglergehäuse ein zur Befestigung am Wasserauslauf der Auslaufarmatur bestimmtes Außengewinde hat, ist aus der US 3827636 vorbekannt. Die Offenbarung dieses Documents entspricht dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.A comparable aerated jet regulator, which has, however, at its jet regulator housing a specified for attachment to the water outlet of the outlet fitting external thread, is from the US 3827636 previously known. The disclosure of this document corresponds to the preamble of claim 1.

Um die Gewinde, die an den Gehäusen der aus US 3424387 A und US 3827636 A vorbekannten Strahlreglern vorgesehen sind, an den am Wasserauslauf eine Auslaufarmatur vorhandenen Gegengewinden anschrauben oder abschrauben zu können, müssen die Gehäuse der vorbekannten Strahlregler soweit über den Wasserauslauf vorstehen, dass diese Gehäuse an dem vorstehenden Gehäuseteilbereich erfasst und gedreht werden können.To remove the threads on the housings of the US 3424387 A and US 3827636 A previously known beam regulators are provided to screw on the water outlet an outlet fitting existing counter threads or unscrew must projecting the housing of the prior art jet regulator so far over the water outlet, that these housing can be detected and rotated on the above housing part area.

Aus der DE 20 2008 010 725 U1 ist bereits ein Strahlregler vorbekannt, der an seinem Strahlreglergehäuse außenumfangsseitig beispielsweise ein Außengewinde trägt, welches mit einem Innengewinde am Wasserauslauf der Auslaufarmatur lösbar verbindbar ist. Um die Schraubverbindung zwischen dem vorbekannten Strahlregler und dem Wasserauslauf betätigen zu können, ist am Aüslaufstirnendbereich des vorbekannten Strahlreglers eine Handhabe zum manuellen Erfassen des Strahlreglers vorgesehen, die als Bügel ausgebildet sein kann, dessen Bügelenden eine am Strahlreglergehäuse gelagerte Schwenkachse bilden. Eine solche, am Strahlreglergehäuse schwenkbar gelagerte Handhabe erfordert jedoch einen erheblichen Aufwand.From the DE 20 2008 010 725 U1 already a jet regulator is already known, the outer peripheral side carries at its jet regulator housing, for example, an external thread which is releasably connectable with an internal thread on the water outlet of the outlet fitting. In order to operate the screw connection between the prior art jet regulator and the water outlet, a handle for manual detection of the jet regulator is provided on Aüslaufstirnendbereich of the prior art jet regulator, which can be designed as a bracket, forming the bracket ends mounted on the jet regulator housing pivot axis. However, such, pivotally mounted on the jet body handle requires a considerable effort.

Aus der DE 10 2008 050 247 A1 ist ein sanitäres Einbauteil vorbekannt, das als Reguliereinrichtung zur Dosierung und Feindrosselung der pro Zeiteinheit ausströmenden Wassermenge bestimmt ist. Die vorbekannte Reguliereinrichtung weist ein hülsenförmiges Einbaugehäuses mit einem Innengewinde am zuströmseitigen Hülseninnenumfang auf, welches Innengewinde an einem Außengewinde am Wasserauslauf der sanitären Auslaufarmatur montierbar ist. Die zwischen dem vorbekannten Einbauteil und dem Wasserauslauf der sanitären Auslaufarmatur vorgesehene Schraubverbindung lässt sich betätigen, in dem das Einbaugehäuse außenumfangsseitig erfasst wird. In dem Einbaugehäuse ist ein Drossel- oder Regulierelement schraubenartig in axialer Richtung verstellbar gehalten. Um dieses Drossel- oder Regulierelement verstellen zu können, ist an dessen abströmseitiger Stirnseite ein Innensechskant vorgesehen, der als Werkzeugangriffsfläche für ein Drehwerkzeug dient.From the DE 10 2008 050 247 A1 is a sanitary fixture previously known, which is intended as a regulating device for metering and fine throttling the amount of water flowing out per unit time. The previously known regulating device has a sleeve-shaped installation housing with an internal thread on the inlet-side sleeve inner circumference, which internal thread can be mounted on an external thread on the water outlet of the sanitary outlet fitting. The provided between the prior art fitting and the water outlet of the sanitary outlet fitting screw can be actuated, in which the mounting housing is detected on the outer peripheral side. In the installation housing, a throttle or regulating element is held helically adjustable in the axial direction. To be able to adjust this throttling or regulating element, a hexagon socket is on its downstream end face provided, which serves as a tool engagement surface for a turning tool.

Das Strahlreglergehäuse des vorbekannten Strahlregler weist einen abströmseitigen Gehäuseteilbereich auf, der einen gegenüber dem zuströmseitigen Gehäuseteilbereich reduzierten Gehäüse-Außehumfang hat. Dabei ist der abströmseitige Gehäuseteilbereich in einer Einsetzöffnung eines Drehwerkzeuges derart einsetzbar, dass das Drehwerkzeug an einer Werkzeugangriffsfläche drehfest angesetzt werden kann, die etwa an dem abströmseitigen Stirnrand des abströmseitigen Gehäuseteilbereiches vorgesehen ist.From the WO 2010/017855 A1 One already knows a jet regulator with a jet regulator housing which can be used in a water outlet and is releasably held therein, for example by means of a screw connection. The jet regulator housing of the previously known jet regulator has a downstream housing part region, which has a housing outer circumference which is reduced in relation to the inflow-side housing partial region. In this case, the downstream housing part region can be used in an insertion opening of a rotary tool such that the rotary tool can be attached to a tool engagement surface in a rotationally fixed manner, which is provided approximately at the downstream end edge of the downstream housing part region.

Im Ausströmbereich der Durchflusslöcher sind Stifte vorgesehen, deren zur Lochplatte weisendes freies und konisch spitz zulaufendes Stiftende als Abweisschräge ausgebildet ist, die jeweils einen der von den Durchflusslöchern kommenden Einzelstrahlen schräg zur Strömungsrichtung ablenkt. Um das Einbaugehäuse dieses vorbekannten Strahlbelüfters am Wasserauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur montieren zu können, ist ein hülsenförmiges Auslaufmundstück vorgesehen, in welches das Einbaugehäuse bis zu einem Einsetzanschlag einsetzbar ist. An dem Auslaufmundstück ist ein Gewinde vorgesehen, dass mit einem korrespondierenden Gegengewinde am Wasserauslauf verschraubbar ist.From DE-GM 93 14 990 of the applicant, a jet aerator is previously known, which has in its installation housing serving as a beam splitter perforated plate having a number of flow holes for generating a plurality of individual jets. Pins are provided in the outflow region of the throughflow holes, whose free and conically tapering pin end pointing towards the perforated plate is designed as a deflection slope which deflects each of the individual beams coming from the throughflow holes obliquely to the flow direction. In order to mount the mounting housing of this known jet aerator on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting, a sleeve-shaped outlet nozzle is provided, in which the installation housing can be used up to an insertion stop. At the outlet mouthpiece a thread is provided that can be screwed to a corresponding mating thread on the water outlet.

Das äußere Erscheinungsbild der Auslaufarmatur wird durch den Wasserauslauf und das benachbarte Auslaufmundstück und dessen Schraubverbindung am Wasserauslauf bestimmt. Um ein ästhetisch ansprechendes Erscheinungsbild zu schaffen, ist es erforderlich, die sichtbaren Oberflächen des Auslaufmundstücks einerseits und der Auslaufarmatur im Bereich ihres Wasserauslaufs andererseits möglichst einheitlich zu gestalten. Dennoch verbleibt zwischen Auslaufmundstück und Strahlregler-Einsatz ein schmaler Spalt, der zur Verschmutzung neigt und störend wirken kann.The external appearance of the outlet fitting is determined by the water outlet and the adjacent outlet nozzle and its screw connection at the water outlet. In order to create an aesthetically pleasing appearance, it is necessary to make the visible surfaces of the outlet mouthpiece on the one hand and the outlet fitting in the region of its water outlet on the other hand as uniform as possible. Nevertheless, there remains a narrow gap between the outlet nozzle and the jet regulator insert, which tends to be soiled and can have a disturbing effect.

Man hat daher auch ein ebenfalls als Strahlbelüfter dienendes sanitäres Einbauteil mit einem mehrteiligen Einbaugehäuse geschaffen, dass an seinem Gehäuseaußenumfang ein Außengewinde aufweist zum Einschrauben in ein am Innenumfang des Wasserauslaufs einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur vorgesehenes Innengewinde (vgl. DE 10 2005 010 551 A1 ). An das Einbaugehäuse ist abströmseitig ein Strömungsgleichrichter angeformt, der als eine, Durchflusslöcher aufweisende Lochplatte ausgebildet ist, welche die abströmseitige Gehäusestirnseite bildet. In den Gehäuseinnenraum des Einbaugehäuses sind mehrere gitterförmige Einsetzteile einsetzbar, die als Strahlreguliereinrichtung dienen, welche die im Gehäuseinneren belüfteten Einzelstrahlen wieder zu einem homogenen, nicht-spritzenden Gesamtstrahl zu formen hat. Der abströmseitige Gehäusestirnrand weist eine Profilierung auf, die der korrespondierenden Profilierung eines als Drehwerkzeug verwendeten weiteren Einbaugehäuses als Werkzeugangriffsfläche dienen kann. Da der aus DE 10 2005 010 551 A1 vorbekannte Strahlbelüfter derart tief in den Wasserauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur eingeschraubt werden kann, dass die abströmseitige Gehäusestirnseite des Einbaugehäuses nicht über den Wasserauslauf der Auslaufarmatur vorsteht, wird der ästhetische Eindruck allein durch die Auslaufarmatur bestimmt. Um das Einbaugehäuse am seite des Einbaugehäuses nicht über den Wasserauslauf der Auslaufarmatur vorsteht, wird der ästhetische Eindruck allein durch die Auslaufarmatur bestimmt. Um das Einbaugehäuse am Wasserauslauf der Auslaufarmatur montieren oder demontieren zu können, ist aber stets ein weiteres Einbaugehäuse oder ein anderes spezielles Drehwerkzeug erforderlich, das insbesondere in einem Haushalt nicht immer zur Verfügung steht.It has therefore also provided a jet aerator serving as a sanitary fitting with a multipart installation housing that has an external thread on its outer circumference for screwing into a provided on the inner circumference of the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting internal thread (see. DE 10 2005 010 551 A1 ). On the installation housing downstream of a flow straightener is formed, which is designed as a, flow holes having perforated plate, which forms the downstream housing end face. In the housing interior of the mounting housing a plurality of lattice-shaped inserts are used, which serve as Strahlreguliereinrichtung, which has to form the ventilated inside the housing individual rays back to a homogeneous, non-squirting overall jet. The downstream housing front edge has a profiling, which can serve as a tool engagement surface of the corresponding profiling of a further installation housing used as a turning tool. Since the out DE 10 2005 010 551 A1 previously known jet aerator can be screwed so deep into the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting that the downstream housing end face of the mounting housing does not project beyond the water outlet of the outlet fitting, the aesthetic impression is determined solely by the outlet fitting. To the installation housing at side of the installation housing does not project beyond the water outlet of the outlet fitting, the aesthetic impression is determined solely by the outlet fitting. In order to mount or dismount the installation housing at the water outlet of the outlet fitting, but always another installation housing or other special turning tool is required, which is not always available, especially in a household.

Aus der US-A-4,534,513 ist daher auch ein Strahlregler mit einem hülsenförmigen Einbaugehäuse vorbekannt, das an seinem abströmseitigen Gehäuseumfang ein Außengewinde trägt, mit dem das Einbaugehäuse an einem innenumfangsseitig am Wasserauslauf der Auslaufarmatur vorgesehenen Innengewinde angeschraubt werden kann. Das Einbaugehäuse weist eine abströmseitige Gehäusestirnseite auf, die durch übereinanderliegende Lagen von Metallsieben gebildet wird und die im Gehäuseinneren des Einbaugehäuses verschieblich geführt ist. Durch Beaufschlagung dieser abströmseitigen Gehäusestirnseite mit einer Münze wird die Gehäusestirnseite derart in das Gehäuseinnere vorgeschoben, dass ein die Münze schmalseitig aufnehmender Schlitz freigelegt wird, welcher der als Drehwerkzeug verwendeten Münze als Werkzeugangriffsfläche dient. Die Verschieblichkeit der Gehäusestirnfläche hat jedoch zur Folge, dass die Strömungsverhältnisse im Gehäuseinneren des vorbekannten Strahlreglers sich ändern können, so dass der vorbekannte Strahlregler eventuell keine gleichbleibende und insbesondere keine gleichbleibende und insbesondere keine gleichbleibend gute Strahlqualität hat und viel Bauraum benötigt.From the US-A-4,534,513 is therefore also a jet regulator with a sleeve-shaped installation housing previously known, which carries at its downstream housing circumference an external thread with which the installation housing can be screwed to an inner peripheral side provided at the water outlet of the outlet fitting internal thread. The installation housing has a downstream housing end face, which is formed by superimposed layers of metal screens and which is guided displaceably in the housing interior of the installation housing. By applying this coin to the downstream end of the housing, the housing end side is advanced into the interior of the housing such that a slot receiving the coin on the narrow side is uncovered, which serves as a tool engagement surface for the coin used as a turning tool. However, the displaceability of the housing end face has the consequence that the flow conditions in the housing interior of the previously known jet regulator may change, so that the previously known jet regulator may not have consistent and in particular no consistent and in particular no consistently good beam quality and requires a large amount of installation space.

Vergleichbare Strahlregler, die an ihrer abströmseitigen Gehäusestirnseite Werkzeugangriffsflächen für ein einfaches Drehwerkzeug haben, sind auch aus der WO 2006/005099 , WO 2006/094680 A1 , der CH-PS 380042 , der US 2002/0084353 A1 , der US 3014667 und der US 4534514 vorbekannt.Similar jet regulators, which have on their downstream housing face tool engagement surfaces for a simple turning tool, are also from the WO 2006/005099 . WO 2006/094680 A1 , of the CH-PS 380042 , of the US 2002/0084353 A1 , of the US 3,014,667 and the US 4534514 previously known.

Es besteht daher insbesondere die Aufgabe, ein sanitäres Einbauteil der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, das sich durch eine einfache Handhabung auszeichnet und das dennoch eine zumindest gleichwertige Alternative zu den mit einem Auslaufmundstück montierbaren Einbauteilen hinsichtlich Funktion und ästhetischem Erscheinungsbild der Auslaufarmatur darstellt.There is therefore a particular object to provide a sanitary fitting of the type mentioned above, which is characterized by ease of use and yet represents an at least equivalent alternative to the mountable with a spout fittings with regard to function and aesthetic appearance of the outlet fitting.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht bei dem sanitären Einbauteil der eingangs erwähnten Art insbesondere darin, dass die abströmseitige Gehäusestirnseite in Abströmrichtung konvex oder ballig gewölbt ausgebildet ist und zumindest einen Schlitz aufweist, dessen gegenüberliegenden Schlitz-Längsseiten als Dreh- oder Werkzeugangriffsflächen für ein in den zumindest einen Schlitz einsetzbares Drehwerkzeug ausgestaltet sind, und dass die innere Gehäusewandung über die äußere Gehäusewandung vorsteht und den abströmseitigen Gehäusestirnrand bildet.The achievement of this object is in the sanitary fitting of the type mentioned in particular that the downstream housing front is convex or convex curved in the outflow direction and has at least one slot whose opposite slot longitudinal sides as turning or tool engagement surfaces for a in the at least a slot insertable rotary tool are configured, and that the inner housing wall protrudes beyond the outer housing wall and forms the downstream housing end edge.

Das erfindungsgemäße Einbauteil weist ein ein- oder mehrteiliges Einbaugehäuse auf, das an seinem Gehäuseaußenumfang ein Außengewinde hat, welches zum Einschrauben in ein am Innenumfang des Wasserauslaufs einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur vorgesehenes Innengewinde bestimmt ist. Mit Hilfe des am Einbaugehäuse vorgesehenen Außengewindes lässt sich das erfindungsgemäße Einbauteil in das Innengewinde dem Wasserauslauf einschrauben.The built-in part according to the invention has a one- or multi-part installation housing, which has an external thread on its housing outer circumference, which is intended for screwing into a provided on the inner circumference of the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting internal thread. With the help of the outer housing provided on the housing thread, the fitting according to the invention can be screwed into the internal thread of the water outlet.

Die Umfangswandung des Einbaugehäuses umgrenzt wenigstens in einem zumindest doppelwandig ausgestalteten Teilbereich mindestens einen Belüftungskanal, der zur abströmseitigen Gehäusestirnseite hin offen ist und der in wenigstens einer, in den Gehäuseinnenraum des Einbaugehäuses führenden Belüftungsöffnung mündet. Somit kann Umgebungsluft durch den zur abströmseitigen Gehäusestirnseite hin offenen Belüftungskanal angesaugt und über die wenigstens eine Belüftungsöffnung in den Gehäuseinnenraum eingeleitet werden, wo diese Umgebungsluft mit dem gegebenenfalls vorläufig in Einzelstrahlen aufgeteilten Wasser vermischt wird, um einen perlend-weichen Wasserstrom zu erzeugen. Da der wenigstens eine Belüftungskanal in die Umfangswandung des Einbaugehäuses integriert ist, kann das erfindungsgemäße Einbauteil mit seinem Außengewinde auch in solche Innengewinde montiert werden, die auch zur Aufnahme eines Auslaufmundstücks bestimmt sind. Es kann somit entweder auf einen herkömmlichen Strahlregler zurückgegriffen werden, der zur Montage ein Auslaufmundstück benötigt, oder aber es kann stattdessen das erfindungsgemäße Einbauteil verwendet werden, das auf ein Auslaufmundstück nicht mehr angewiesen ist. Da das erfindungsgemäße Einbauteil auf ein Auslaufmundstück nicht mehr angewiesen ist, und da ein solches Auslaufmundstück bislang meist aus Messing hergestellt wurde und der Herstellungsvorgang eine abschließende Verchromung des Messingteiles erfordert hatte, werden die mit der Beschaffung eines solchen Materials verbundenen Kosten vermieden, die Materialversorgung unabhängig von diesem Metall sichergestellt und auf einen umweltbelastenden Verchromungsvorgang kann verzichtet werden.The peripheral wall of the installation housing defines at least in an at least double-walled configured portion of at least one ventilation duct, which is open to the downstream housing end side and which opens into at least one, leading into the housing interior of the installation housing ventilation opening. Thus, ambient air can be sucked in through the ventilation channel which is open towards the downstream housing front side and introduced into the housing interior via the at least one ventilation opening, where this ambient air is mixed with the water, which may have been provisionally separated into individual jets, in order to produce a pearly-soft water flow. Since the at least one ventilation channel is integrated into the circumferential wall of the installation housing, the installation part according to the invention can be mounted with its external thread in such internal threads, which are also intended to receive an outlet nozzle. It can thus be used either on a conventional jet regulator, which requires an outlet nozzle for mounting, or it can instead be used according to the invention the built-in part, which is no longer dependent on an outlet nozzle. Since the fitting according to the invention is no longer dependent on an outlet nozzle, and since such an outlet mouthpiece was usually made of brass and the manufacturing process had a final chromium plating of the brass part required, the costs associated with the procurement of such material materials are avoided, the material supply regardless Ensured this metal and can be dispensed with a polluting chromium plating process.

Erfingdungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die abströmseitige Gehäusestirnseite in Abströmrichtung konvex oder ballig gewölbt ausgebildet ist und zumindest einen Schlitz aufweist, dessen gegenüberliegenden Schlitz-Längsseiten als Dreh- oder Werkzeugangriffsflächen für ein in den zumindest einen Schlitz lösbar einsetzbares Drehwerkzeug ausgestaltet sind.According to the invention, it is provided that the downstream end face of the housing is convexly or convexly curved in the outflow direction and has at least one slot, the opposite slot longitudinal sides are designed as a turning or tool engagement surfaces for a releasably insertable in the at least one slot rotary tool.

Das erfindungsgemäße Einbauteil weist also auf seiner abströmseitigen Gehäusestirnseite zumindest einen Schlitz auf, dessen gegenüberliegenden Schlitz-Längsseiten als Drehangriffsflächen oder Werkzeugangriffsflächen für ein, in den zumindest einen Schlitz lösbar einsetzbares Drehwerkzeug ausgestaltet sind. Dabei ist die abströmseitige Gehäusestirnseite in Abströmrichtung derart konvex oder ballig gewölbt ausgebildet, dass der Schlitz ausreichend tief ausgestaltet werden kann, um dem Drehwerkzeug an den entsprechend tiefen Schlitz-Längsseiten eine ausreichende Dreh- oder Werkzeugangriffsfläche zu bieten, ohne dass dadurch übermäßig viel Platz im Gehäuseinnenraum verloren geht.The fitting according to the invention thus has on its downstream housing end face at least one slot, the opposite slot longitudinal sides are designed as a rotary control surfaces or tool engagement surfaces for a, in the at least one slot releasably insertable rotary tool. In this case, the downstream housing front side is formed in the outflow such convex or convex curved that the slot can be made sufficiently deep to provide the rotary tool on the corresponding deep slot longitudinal sides a sufficient turning or tool engagement surface, without thereby excessively large space in the housing interior get lost.

Um den aus dem Einbauteil austretenden Wasserstrahl gut formen zu können, ohne dass deswegen die abströmseitige Gehäusestirnseite einen hohen Strömungswiderstand bietet, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die abströmseitige Gehäusestirnseite als Gitter-, Netz- oder Lochstruktur ausgestaltet ist.In order to be able to form the water jet emerging from the built-in part well, without the downstream end of the housing offering a high flow resistance, it is expedient for the downstream end of the housing to be designed as a grid, mesh or hole structure.

Der zumindest eine Schlitz kann als schlitzförmige Durchbrechung der Gehäuse-Stirnfläche ausgestaltet sein. Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung sieht demgegenüber vor, dass der zumindest eine Schlitz einen Schlitz- oder Nutgrund hat, der geschlossen oder - beispielsweise durch eine den Schlitz- oder Nutgrund bildende Loch- oder Gitterstruktur - offen beziehungsweise flüssigkeitsdurchlässig ausgestaltet ist.The at least one slot can be designed as a slot-shaped opening of the housing end face. A preferred embodiment according to the invention, in contrast, provides that the at least one slot has a slot or groove bottom, which is closed or - for example, by a slot or groove bottom forming hole or grid structure - open or liquid-permeable designed.

Um die als Dreh- oder Werkzeugangriffsflächen dienenden Schlitz-Längsseiten ausreichend stabil auszugestalten, und um ein entsprechend hohes Drehmoment auf diese Schlitz-Längsseiten übertragen zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Gehäuse-Stirnfläche wenigstens im Bereich des zumindest einen Schlitzes eine Querschnittsverdickung aufweist.In order to make the serving as a turning or tool engagement surfaces slot longitudinal sides sufficiently stable, and order To be able to transmit a correspondingly high torque to these slot longitudinal sides, it is advantageous if the housing end face has a cross-sectional thickening at least in the region of the at least one slot.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Schlitz-Längsseiten im Vergleich zu den die Gitter-, Netz- oder Lochstruktur der Gehäusestirnfläche bildenden Strömungsführungswänden eine größere Wandungsdicke aufweisen.It is particularly advantageous if the slot longitudinal sides have a greater wall thickness in comparison with the flow guide walls forming the grid, mesh or hole structure of the housing end face.

Zweckmäßig kann es sein, wenn das Einbaugehäuse einen abströmseitigen Gehäuseabschnitt mit einem gegenüber einem angrenzenden zuströmseitigen Gehäuseabschnitt reduzierten Gehäusequerschnitt aufweist, und wenn ein freier Stirnrand des über den Wasserauslauf vorstehenden abströmseitigen Gehäuseabschnitts als Abtropfkante dient.It may be expedient if the installation housing has a downstream housing section with a housing cross-section reduced relative to an adjacent inflow-side housing section, and if a free end edge of the housing section projecting above the water outlet serves as a drip edge.

Ein gemäß diesem Erfindungsvorschlag ausgestaltetes sanitäres Einbauteil weist einen abströmseitigen Gehäuseabschnitt auf, der einen gegenüber dem angrenzenden zuströmseitigen Gehäuseabschnitt reduzierten Gehäusequerschnitt hat. Dabei ist der freie Stirnrand des über den Wasserauslauf vorstehenden abströmseitigen Gehäuseabschnitts als Abtropfkante ausgestaltext, an der das auch nach dem Schließen des Absperrhahns noch austretende Restwasser abtropfen kann, ohne auf die Außenseite der Auslaufarmatur überzutreten und dort entlang zu laufen.A designed according to this invention proposal sanitary fitting has a downstream housing portion which has a relation to the adjacent inflow-side housing portion reduced housing cross-section. In this case, the free end edge of the over the water outlet projecting outflow side housing section is ausgestaltext as dripping edge on which the remaining water can still drain after closing the stopcock without overflowing on the outside of the outlet fitting and run along there.

Um das durch das erfindungsgemäße Einbauteil hindurchfließende wasser über seinen gesamten Querschnitt gleichmäßig mit Umgebungsluft durchmischen zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn mehrere, vorzugsweise gleichmäßig über den Gehäuseumfang verteilt angeordnete Belüftungsöffnungen vorgesehen sind.In order to be able to uniformly mix the water flowing through the insert according to the invention over its entire cross section with ambient air, it is advantageous if a plurality of ventilation openings, preferably uniformly distributed over the housing circumference, are provided.

Um den zumindest einen Belüftungskanal mit geringem Aufwand in der Umfangswandung des Einbaugehäuses unterzubringen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Einbaugehäuse zumindest in einem abströmseitigen Gehäuseabschnitt eine äußere, zumindest einen Teilabschnitt des Außengewindes tragende Gehäusewandung und eine durch den mindestens einen Belüftungskanal beabstandete innere Gehäusewandung aufweist.To the at least one ventilation duct with little effort to accommodate in the peripheral wall of the mounting housing, it is advantageous if the mounting housing has at least in a downstream housing portion an outer, at least a portion of the outer thread bearing housing wall and a spaced by the at least one ventilation duct inner housing wall.

Dabei kann die innere Gehäusewandung gleichzeitig auch als Abtropfkante ausgestaltet werden, wenn die innere Gehäusewandung über die äußere Gehäusewandung vorsteht und den abströmseitigen Gehäusestirnrand bildet.In this case, the inner housing wall can also be configured as a drip edge when the inner housing wall projects beyond the outer housing wall and forms the downstream housing front edge.

Um das erfindungsgemäße Einbauteil mit einem entsprechenden Drehwerkzeug gut an dem im Wasserauslauf einer Auslaufarmatur innenumfangsseitig vorgesehenen Innengewinde festschrauben zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die innere und die äußere Gehäusewandung über vorzugsweise radiale Stege miteinander verbunden sind und wenn zumindest zwei Stege als Dreh- oder Werkzeugangriffsflächen für ein in den Freiraum zwischen den Stegen einführbares Drehwerkzeug vorgesehen sind.In order to screw the fitting according to the invention well with a corresponding turning tool on the inside of an outlet fitting provided inside circumference female thread, it is advantageous if the inner and the outer housing are preferably connected to each other via radial webs and if at least two webs as turning or tool engagement surfaces are provided for an insertable into the space between the webs rotary tool.

Damit das durchströmende Wasser druckunabhängig auf ein maximales Wasservolumen pro Zeiteinheit eingeregelt werden kann, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Einbauteil einen Durchflussmengenregler hat, der dem belüfteten Strahlregler in Strömungsrichtung vorgeschaltet ist.Thus, the water flowing through pressure can be regulated independently of pressure to a maximum water volume per unit time, it is advantageous if the mounting part has a flow rate regulator, which is connected upstream of the aerated jet regulator in the flow direction.

Damit die im Wasser mitgeführten Schmutzpartikel nicht zu Funktionsbeeinträchtigungen in den einander nachfolgenden Funktionseinheiten des erfindungsgemäßen Einbauteiles führen, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn dem vorzugsweise belüfteten Strahlregler sowie gegebenenfalls dem Durchflussmengenregler ein Vorsatzsieb in Strömungsrichtung vorgeschaltet ist.In order that the dirt particles entrained in the water do not lead to functional impairments in the successive functional units of the built-in component according to the invention, it is expedient if the preferably aerated jet regulator and optionally the flow rate regulator Front screen is upstream in the flow direction.

Um Kriechströme am Außenumfang des Einbaugehäuses vorbei zu vermeiden, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn zur axialen Abdichtung zwischen dem Einbauteil und einem im Wasserauslauf befindlichen Ringabsatz eine Ringdichtung aus vorzugsweise weichelastischem Material vorgesehen ist.In order to avoid leakage currents on the outer circumference of the installation housing over, it is advantageous if an annular seal made of preferably soft elastic material is provided for axial sealing between the mounting part and an annular outlet located in the water outlet.

Die einzelnen Merkmale können je für sich oder zu mehreren bei einer Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung verwirklicht sein.Further features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of inventive embodiments in conjunction with the claims and the drawings.

In den Figuren 1 bis 13 ist ein sanitäres Einbauteil in verschiedenen Ausführungen 5, 6 und 7 dargestellt. Die hier dargestellten Einbauteile 5, 6 und 7 sind am Wasserauslauf 70 einer hier ansonsten nicht weiter gezeigten sanitären Auslaufarmatur 8 montierbar. Die Einbauteile 5, 6 und 7 weisen ein Einbaugehäuse 9 auf, das an seinem Gehäuseaußenumfang ein Außengewinde 10 hat. Das Außengewinde 10 ist zum Einschrauben in ein Innengewinde 11 bestimmt, das am Innenumfang des Wasserauslaufs 70 der sanitären Auslaufarmatur 8 vorgesehen ist. Das Einbaugehäuse 9 weist eine abströmseitige Gehäusestirnseite 12 mit Durchflusslöchern 13 auf.In the FIGS. 1 to 13 is a sanitary fitting in various versions 5, 6 and 7 shown. The built-in parts 5, 6 and 7 shown here can be mounted on the water outlet 70 of a sanitary outlet fitting 8 not otherwise shown here. The built-in parts 5, 6 and 7 have a mounting housing 9, which has an external thread 10 on its outer circumference. The external thread 10 is intended for screwing into an internal thread 11, which is provided on the inner circumference of the water outlet 70 of the sanitary outlet fitting 8. The installation housing 9 has a downstream housing end 12 with flow holes 13.

Die Umfangswandung des Einbaugehäuses 9 der hier dargestellten Einbauteile 5, 6 und 7 umgrenzt in einem doppelwandig ausgestalteten Teilbereich einen ringförmig umlaufenden Belüftungskanal 14. Dieser Belüftungskanal 14, der zur abströmseitigen, in den Figuren unteren Gehäusestirnseite 12 hin offen ist, mündet in mehreren Belüftungsöffnungen 15, die gleichmäßig über den Gehäuseumfang verteilt angeordnet sind und in den Gehäuseinnenraum des Einbaugehäuses 9 führen. Der Belüftungskanal 14 und die Belüftungsöffnungen 15 sind Bestandteil eines in die Einbauteile 5 und 6 integrierten Strahlreglers 16, eines sogenannten Strahlbelüfters. Das Einbauelement 7 ist demgegenüber selbst als Strahlregler ausgestaltet.The peripheral wall of the installation housing 9 of the built-in parts 5, 6 and 7 delimited in a double-walled designed partial area an annular peripheral ventilation duct 14. This ventilation duct 14, which is open to the downstream, in the figures lower housing end side 12, opens into a plurality of ventilation openings 15, which are arranged distributed uniformly over the housing circumference and lead into the housing interior of the installation housing 9. The ventilation channel 14 and the ventilation openings 15 are part of a built-in parts 5 and 6 beam regulator 16, a so-called Strahlbelüfters. In contrast, the installation element 7 itself is designed as a jet regulator.

Das Einbaugehäuse 9 der Einbauteile 5, 6 und 7 weist in seinem abströmseitigen Gehäuseabschnitt eine äußere Gehäusewandung 17 und eine durch den Belüftungskanal 14 beabstandete innere Gehäusewandung 18 auf, von denen die innere Gehäusewandung 18 über die äußere Gehäusewandung 17 vorsteht und den abströmseitigen Gehäusestirnrand bildet. Die äußere Gehäusewandung 17 trägt zumindest einen Teilabschnitt des Außengewindes 10. Die innere und die äußere Gehäusewandung 17, 18 sind über radiale Stege 19 miteinander verbunden, wobei die Stege 19 als Dreh- oder Werkzeugangriffsfläche für ein in den Freiraum zwischen den Stegen 19 einführbares Drehwerkzeug vorgesehen sind.The installation housing 9 of the built-in parts 5, 6 and 7 has in its downstream housing section an outer housing wall 17 and a spaced apart by the ventilation channel 14 inner housing wall 18, of which the inner housing wall 18 projects beyond the outer housing 17 and the downstream housing end edge forms. The outer housing wall 17 carries at least a portion of the external thread 10. The inner and outer housing 17, 18 are connected to each other via radial webs 19, wherein the webs 19 provided as a turning or tool engagement surface for an insertable into the space between the webs 19 rotary tool are.

Da ein solches spezielles Drehwerkzeug aber insbesondere in einem privaten Haushalt nicht immer zur Verfügung steht, weist die abströmseitige Gehäusestirnseite 12 der in den Figuren 1 bis 13 dargestellten Einbauteile 5, 6 und 7 zumindest einen Schlitz 20, 21 auf, dessen gegenüberliegenden Schlitz-Längsseiten als Dreh- oder Werkzeugangriffsflächen für ein Drehwerkzeug ausgestaltet sind, das in den zumindest einen Schlitz 20 beziehungsweise 21 lösbar einsetzbar ist. Als Drehwerkzeug kann ein Schraubendreher, vorzugsweise aber auch eine Münze dienen. Damit mit Hilfe des in den Schlitz 20, 21 einführbaren Drehwerkzeuges auch ein höheres Drehmoment übertragen werden kann, ist die abströmseitige Gehäusestirnseite 12 in Abströmrichtung konvex oder ballig gewölbt, so dass die Schlitz-Längsseiten vorzugsweise tief ausgestaltet sind, ohne dass die Gehäusestirnseite 12 den im Gehäuseinnenraum zur Verfügung stehenden Platz wesentlich einschränken würde. Im Gehäuseinnenraum ist somit ausreichend Platz, um weitere Einsetz- oder Strömungsformungsteile 47, 48 darin vorzusehen (vgl. Fig. 13). Während der Strahlregler 5 gemäß den Figuren 1 bis 6 nur einen etwa radial orientierten Schlitz 20 an seiner Gehäusestirnseite trägt, sind an der Gehäusestirnseite 12 des in den Figuren 7 bis 12 gezeigten Einbauteiles 6 zwei radial orientierte und rechtwinklig zueinander angeordnete Schlitze 20, 21 vorgesehen, die hier einen Kreuzschlitz bilden.However, since such a special turning tool is not always available, especially in a private household, the downstream housing end face 12 of the built-in parts 5, 6 and 7 shown in FIGS. 1 to 13 has at least one slot 20, 21 whose opposite slot longitudinal sides act as Turning or tool engagement surfaces are designed for a rotary tool, which is releasably insertable into the at least one slot 20 and 21 respectively. As a turning tool, a screwdriver, but preferably also serve a coin. So that with the help of the insertable into the slot 20, 21 rotary tool and a higher torque can be transmitted, the downstream housing end 12 in the outflow convex or convex, so that the slot longitudinal sides are preferably designed deep without the housing end face 12 in the Housing interior space would significantly limit available space. In the housing interior is thus sufficient space to further insert or flow shaping parts 47, 48 provided therein (see. Fig. 13 ). While the jet regulator 5 according to the FIGS. 1 to 6 only carries an approximately radially oriented slot 20 on its housing end face are on the housing end face 12 of the in the FIGS. 7 to 12 shown mounting parts 6 two radially oriented and arranged at right angles to each other slots 20, 21 are provided, which form a cross slot here.

In das Einbaugehäuse 9 der Einbauteile 5, 6 und 7 ist zumindest ein Einsetzteil bis zu einem Einsetzanschlag einsetzbar. So wird aus den Figuren 1 bis 12 deutlich, dass in das Einbaugehäuse 9 der Einbauteile 5, 6 und 7 ein als Strahlzerleger ausgebildetes Einsetzteil eingesetzt werden kann, welches den Wasserstrom in eine Vielzahl von Einzelstrahlen aufzuteilen hat und dazu eine Vielzahl von Durchflussöffnungen 22 aufweist. Das als Strahlzerleger dienende Einsetzteil ist hier als Diffusor 23 bildet, der eine die Durchflussöffnungen 22 tragende Ringwandung 24 hat. An die Ringwandung 24 des hier topfförmigen Diffusors 23 ist eine zentrale Prallfläche 25 angeformt, welche den zufließenden Wasserstrom in Richtung zu den umfangsseitigen Durchflussöffnungen 22 umlenkt.In the installation housing 9 of the mounting parts 5, 6 and 7, at least one insert part can be used up to an insertion stop. So will the FIGS. 1 to 12 clearly that in the installation housing 9 of the built-in parts 5, 6 and 7, a trained as a beam splitter insert part can be used, which has to divide the water flow into a plurality of individual jets and to a plurality of flow openings 22 has. The serving as a beam splitter insert part is here as a diffuser 23 forms, which has a flow opening 22 bearing ring wall 24. To the annular wall 24 of the cup-shaped diffuser 23 here, a central baffle 25 is formed, which deflects the inflowing water flow in the direction of the peripheral flow openings 22.

Der Diffusor 23 wird von einem Diffusorring 26 derart umgriffen, dass zwischen dem Innenumfang des Diffusorrings 26 und dem Außenumfang des Diffusors 23 ein sich in Strömungsrichtung verjüngender Durchflusskanal 30 vorgesehen ist. Dabei werden die Belüftungsöffnungen 15 vom Diffusorring 26 derart mit Abstand überdeckt, dass der benachbarte Teilbereich des Diffusorrings 26 als Spritzschutz 27 für die Belüftungsöffnungen 15 gegen das am Diffusorring 26 innenumfangsseitig vorbeiströmende Wasser dient.The diffuser 23 is encompassed by a diffuser ring 26 such that between the inner circumference of the diffuser ring 26 and the outer circumference of the diffuser 23, a flow channel 30 tapering in the direction of flow is provided. The ventilation openings 15 are covered by the diffuser ring 26 at a distance such that the adjacent portion of the diffuser ring 26 serves as a splash guard 27 for the ventilation openings 15 against the water flowing on the inner circumference of the diffuser ring 26.

Der Diffusorring 26 der Einbauteile 2, 5 und 6 weist Luftdurchströmöffnungen 29 auf, die sich in Durchströmrichtung zu einem Luftdurchströmschlitz verengen. Die Umgebungsluft kann somit über den Belüftungskanal 14 durch die Belüftungsöffnungen 15 in der Umfangswandung sowie die Luftdurchströmöffnungen 29 im Diffusorring 26 hindurch in den Gehäuseinnenraum des Einbaugehäuses 9 angesaugt werden, um sich dort mit den vom Diffusor 23 erzeugten Einzelstrahlen zu vermischen, bevor diese wieder an der als Strömungsgleichrichter dienenden Gehäusestirnseite 12 zu einem homogenen, nichtspritzenden und perlendweichen belüfteten Gesamtstrahl vereint und geformt zu werden.The diffuser ring 26 of the built-in parts 2, 5 and 6 has air flow openings 29, which narrow in the flow direction to an air flow slot. The ambient air can thus be sucked through the ventilation channel 14 through the ventilation openings 15 in the peripheral wall and the Luftdurchströmöffnungen 29 in the diffuser ring 26 into the housing interior of the mounting housing 9 to mix there with the individual beams generated by the diffuser 23 before they again at the serving as a flow straightener housing front page 12 to be united and formed into a homogeneous, non-spraying and bead-soft aerated overall jet.

Der in die Einbauteile 5 und 6 integrierte Strahlregler 16 besteht somit im Wesentlichen aus dem Diffusor 23, dem zugeordneten Diffusorring 26, sowie der als Strömungsgleichrichter ausgebildeten Gehäusestirnseite 12 des Einbaugehäuses 9.The integrated into the built-in parts 5 and 6 jet regulator 16 thus consists essentially of the diffuser 23, the associated diffuser ring 26, and designed as a flow rectifier housing end face 12 of the mounting housing. 9

Während bei den Einbauteilen 5 und 6 der Strahlzerleger als Diffusor 23 ausgebildet ist, weist das als Strahlregler ausgebildete Einbauteil 7 in Figur 13 stattdessen einen Strahlzerleger auf, der als Lochplatte 40 ausgestaltet ist, die zum Aufteilen des zuströmenden Wassers in eine Vielzahl von Einzelstrahlen eine entsprechende Anzahl von axialen Durchflusslöchern 41 aufweist.While in the built-in parts 5 and 6 of the jet disintegrator is designed as a diffuser 23, which designed as a jet regulator built-in part 7 in FIG. 13 Instead, a beam splitter, which is designed as a perforated plate 40, which has a corresponding number of axial flow holes 41 for dividing the inflowing water into a plurality of individual jets.

Um die Umgebungsluft in den Gehäuseinnenraum ansaugen und um dazu im Gehäuseinnenraum einen Unterdruck erzeugen zu können, ist zwischen dem Innenumfang des Diffusorrings 26 und dem Außenumfang des Diffusors 23 ein sich in Strömungsrichtung verjüngender ringförmiger Durchflusskanal 30 vorgesehen. In diesen sich verjüngenden Durchflusskanal 30 werden die im Diffusor 23 vereinzelten Einzelstrahlen derart beschleunigt, dass auf der Abströmseite des Diffusors 23 im Bereich der abströmseitigen Kanalöffnung des Durchflusskanals 30 ein Unterdruck entsteht.In order to suck the ambient air into the housing interior and to be able to generate a negative pressure in the housing interior, an annular flow passage 30 tapering in the direction of flow is provided between the inner circumference of the diffuser ring 26 and the outer circumference of the diffuser 23. In this tapered flow channel 30, the separated individual streams in the diffuser 23 are accelerated such that on the downstream side of the diffuser 23 in the region of the downstream channel opening of the flow channel 30, a negative pressure.

Auch bei dem in Figur 13 dargestellten Einbauteil 7 wird der Durchtrittsquerschnitt in den Durchflusslöchern 41 der Lochplatte 40 derart verengt, dass die durch die Lochplatte 40 erzeugten Einzelstrahlen derart beschleunigt werden, dass auch auf der Abströmseite der Lochplatte 40 ein Unterdruck entsteht.Also at the in FIG. 13 the built-in part 7, the passage cross-section in the flow holes 41 of the perforated plate 40 is narrowed such that the individual beams generated by the perforated plate 40 are accelerated so that even on the downstream side of the perforated plate 40, a negative pressure.

Während der Diffusorring 26 bis zu einem Einsetzanschlag 31 in das Einbaugehäuse 9 einsetzbar ist, kann der Diffusor 23 seinerseits bis zu einem Einsetzanschlag 32 in den Diffusorring 26 eingesetzt werden. Dabei ist ein Dichtring 33 aus vorzugsweise weichelastischem Material vorgesehen, der die Trennspalte zwischen Einbaugehäuse 9 und Diffusorring 26 und zwischen Diffusorring 26 und Diffusor 23 abdichtet und der zur axialen Abdichtung zwischen dem zuströmseitigen Stirnrand des Einbaugehäuses 9 und einem Ringabsatz im Wasserauslauf 7 der sanitären Auslaufarmatur 8 eingespannt werden kann.While the diffuser ring 26 can be inserted into the installation housing 9 up to an insertion stop 31, the diffuser 23 in turn can be inserted into the diffuser ring 26 up to an insertion stop 32. In this case, a sealing ring 33 is preferably made of soft elastic material, which seals the separating gaps between the housing 9 and the housing 26 and diffuser between diffuser 26 and diffuser 23 and the axial sealing between the inflow-side end edge of the mounting housing 9 and an annular shoulder in the water outlet 7 of the sanitary outlet fitting. 8 can be clamped.

In den Fig. 1 bis 12 ist erkennbar, dass dem Strahlregler der Einbauteile 5 und 6 ein Durchflussmengenregler 34 vorgeschaltet ist, der einen ringförmigen Drosselkörper 35 aus elastischem Material hat, welcher Drosselkörper 35 zwischen sich und einer Regelprofilierung 36 einen sich unter dem Druck des durchströmenden Wassers veränderten Steuerspalt 37 begrenzt. Dieser Durchflussmengenregler 34 ist über eine Rastverbindung mit dem in Strömungsrichtung nachfolgenden Strahlregler 16 und insbesondere mit dessen Diffusor 23 verbunden. Dem Durchflussmengenregler 34 wiederum ist ein sich entgegen der Strömungsrichtung konisch verjüngendes Vorsatzsieb 38 vorgeschaltet, dass die im Wasser mitgeführten Schmutzartikel auszufiltern hat, bevor diese Schmutzpartikel die Funktion des Durchflussmengenreglers 34 oder des nachfolgenden Strahlreglers beeinträchtigen können. Ein vergleichbares Vorsatzsieb 38 ist auch vor dem Einbauteil 7 vorgesehen.In the Fig. 1 to 12 It can be seen that the jet regulator of the built-in parts 5 and 6, a flow rate controller 34 is connected upstream, which has an annular throttle body 35 made of elastic material, which throttle body 35 between itself and a Regelprofilierung 36 a changed under the pressure of the water flowing through the control gap 37. This flow rate regulator 34 is connected via a latching connection with the jet regulator 16 following in the flow direction and in particular with its diffuser 23. The flow rate regulator 34, in turn, is preceded by an attachment screen 38, which conically tapers counter to the flow direction, and has to filter out the dirt particles entrained in the water before these dirt particles can impair the function of the flow rate regulator 34 or the downstream jet regulator. A comparable attachment screen 38 is also provided in front of the installation part 7.

Die hier dargestellten Einbauteil 5, 6 und 7 können mit ihrem am Einbaugehäuse 9 vorgesehenen Außengewinde 10 auch in das Innengewinde 11 am Wasserauslauf 7 einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur eingeschraubt werden, das ansonsten zur Montage des für einen handelsüblichen Strahlregler 3 benötigten Auslaufmundstücks 28 erforderlich ist. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, die Auslaufarmatur entweder in Verbindung mit einem Auslaufmundstück 28 und einem darin eingesetzten handelsüblichen Strahlregler 3 oder aber in Verbindung mit einem der erfindungsgemäßen Einbauteile 5, 6 und 7 zu verwenden.The built-in part 5, 6 and 7 shown here can be screwed with its provided on the housing housing 9 external thread 10 in the internal thread 11 at the water outlet 7 a sanitary outlet fitting, otherwise for mounting required for a commercial jet regulator 3 outlet nozzle 28 is required. In this way it is possible to use the outlet fitting either in conjunction with an outlet nozzle 28 and a commercial jet regulator 3 used therein or in conjunction with one of the built-in parts 5, 6 and 7 according to the invention.
