Die Erfindung betrifft eine sanitäre Funktionseinheit, die ein Gehäuse aufweist, welches am Wasserauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur lösbar befestigbar ist, wobei das Gehäuse eine abströmseitige Gehäuse-Stirnfläche mit Ausströmöffnungen hat, wobei die abströmseitige Gehäusestirnfläche zumindest einen Schlitz aufweist, dessen gegenüberliegenden Schlitz-Längsseiten als Dreh- oder Werkzeugangriffsflächen für ein in den zumindest einen Schlitz lösbar einsetzbares Drehwerkzeug ausgestaltet sind, und wobei das Gehäuse der Funktionseinheit am Wasserauslauf der Auslaufarmatur drehbar gehalten ist.The invention relates to a sanitary functional unit having a housing which is releasably attachable to the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting, wherein the housing has a downstream housing face with discharge openings, wherein the downstream housing end face has at least one slot whose opposite slot longitudinal sides as a rotation - Or tool engagement surfaces are designed for a releasably insertable in the at least one slot rotary tool, and wherein the housing of the functional unit is rotatably supported at the water outlet of the outlet fitting.
Man kennt bereits verschiedene sanitäre Funktionseinheiten, die am Auslaufende einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur lösbar befestigbar sind, um den dort austretenden Wasserstrahl zu formen und/oder zu regeln. So hat man beispielsweise Strahlregler geschaffen, die das ausströmende Wasser zu einem homogenen, nicht-spritzenden und gegebenenfalls auch perlend-weichen Wasserstrahl formen sollen. Diese, z.B. als Strahlregler ausgebildeten Funktionseinheiten weisen ein Gehäuse auf, das eine abströmseitige und beispielsweise als Strömungsgleichrichter ausgestaltete Gehäuse-Stirnfläche mit einer Vielzahl von Ausströmöffnungen hat. Um solche vorbekannten Funktionseinheiten am Auslaufende der Auslaufarmatur montieren zu können, hat man bereits Funktionseinheiten geschaffen, die an dem Gehäuse-Außenumfang ihres Gehäuses ein Außengewinde tragen, mit dem das Gehäuse mit ein am Innenumfang der Auslaufarmatur vorgesehenes Innengewinde einschraubbar ist. Um die zum Verschrauben der korrespondierenden Gewinde erforderliche Drehkraft auf das Gehäuse aufbringen zu können, sind am abströmseitigen Stirnumfangsrand oder am Gehäuseumfangsrandbereich Profilierungen vorgesehen, die als Drehangriffs- oder Werkzeugangriffsflächen für ein Drehwerkzeug dienen. Da die vorbekannten Funktionseinheiten meist über viele Monate wartungsfrei sind, ist das erforderliche Drehwerkzeug über die Monate häufig derart verlegt, dass es bei Bedarf nicht ohne weiteres zur Verfügung steht.Various sanitary functional units are already known which can be detachably fastened at the outlet end of a sanitary outlet fitting in order to shape and / or regulate the water jet emerging there. For example, jet regulators have been created which are intended to form the outflowing water into a homogeneous, non-spattering and, if appropriate, also pearly-soft water jet. These, for example, designed as a jet regulator functional units have a housing having a downstream and, for example, as a flow rectifier designed housing end face having a plurality of outflow openings. In order to assemble such known functional units at the outlet end of the outlet fitting, one has already created functional units which carry an external thread on the housing outer circumference of its housing, with which the housing with a provided on the inner circumference of the outlet fitting internal thread can be screwed. In order to be able to apply the rotational force required for screwing the corresponding thread to the housing, profilings are provided on the downstream peripheral edge or on the peripheral edge of the housing to serve as a rotary-action or tool-engaging surface for a turning tool. Since the previously known functional units are usually maintenance-free for many months, the required turning tool is often laid over the months in such a way that it is not readily available when needed.
Aus der DE-GM 93 14 990 der Anmelderin ist ein Strahlbelüfter vorbekannt, der in seinem Einbaugehäuse eine als Strahlzerleger dienende Lochplatte hat, die zur Erzeugung einer Vielzahl von Einzelstrahlen eine Anzahl von Durchflusslöchern aufweist. 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, das mit einem korrespondierenden Gegengewinde am Wasserauslauf verschraubbar ist.A jet aerator is known from DE-GM 93 14 990 of the Applicant, which has a perforated plate serving as a jet disintegrator in its installation housing, which has 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, which can be screwed with 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, das an seinem Gehäuseaußenumfang ein Außengewinde aufweist zum Einschrauben in ein am Innenumfang des Wasserauslaufs einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur vorgesehenes Innengewinde (vgl.

Vergleichbare Strahlregler, die an ihrer abströmseitigen Gehäusestirnseite Werkzeugangriffsflächen für ein einfaches Drehwerkzeug haben, sind auch aus der
Auch hat man bereits Strahlregler mit einem Strahlregler-Gehäuse geschaffen, dessen abströmseitige Gehäusestirnfläche einen kugelkalottenförmigen Umfangsrandbereich hat, der in einem als Gelenkpfanne ausgestalteten Gehäuseteilbereich des Strahlregler-Gehäuses derart verschwenkbar gelagert ist, dass der austretende Wasserstrahl in Bezug auf den Auftreffpunkt in dem nachfolgenden Waschbecken ausgerichtet werden kann. Dabei ist an der Abströmseite der Gehäusestirnfläche eine stiftförmige Handhabe vorgesehen, die störend nach außen vorsteht und gegebenenfalls auch zu unerwünschten Manipulationen an der Gehäusestirnfläche veranlassen kann. Befindet sich keinerlei visuell sichtbares Merkmal an der Auslaufstirnseite, so ist es für den ungeübten oder unwissenden Benutzer nicht einsichtig, dass der Wasserstrahl durch Betätigung der Auslaufstirnseite in seiner Richtung einstellbar ist.Also, one has already created jet regulator with a jet regulator housing whose downstream housing end face has a spherical cap peripheral edge region which is pivotably mounted in a designed as a socket pan housing portion of the jet regulator housing that the exiting water jet aligned with respect to the impact point in the subsequent washbasin can be. In this case, a pin-shaped handle is provided on the downstream side of the housing end face, which protrudes disturbingly outwards and may possibly also cause undesired manipulation of the housing end face. If there is no visually visible feature on the outlet end face, it is not clear to the inexperienced or ignorant user that the water jet can be adjusted by actuating the outlet end face in its direction.
Es besteht daher insbesondere die Aufgabe, eine sanitäre Funktionseinheit der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, welche die oben beschriebenen Nachteile des vorbekannten Standes der Technik vermeidet, und die sich durch eine wesentlich vereinfachte Handhabung auszeichnet.There is therefore a particular task, a sanitary To provide a functional unit of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art described above, and which is characterized by a much simplified handling.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht insbesondere darin, dass der zumindest eine Schlitz als eine Nut ausgebildet ist, die einen Nutgrund hat, der durch eine den Nutgrund bildende Gitterstruktur flüssigkeitsdurchlässig ausgestaltet ist.The solution to this problem according to the invention consists in particular in that the at least one slot is formed as a groove, which has a groove base, which is designed to be liquid-permeable by a grid structure forming the groove bottom.
Die erfindungsgemäße Funktionseinheit weist an ihrer abströmseitigen und die Ausströmöffnungen aufweisenden GehäuseStirnfläche zumindest einen abströmseitig offenen Schlitz auf, dessen gegenüberliegenden Schlitz-Längsseiten als Drehangriffsflächen oder als Werkzeugangriffsflächen für ein Drehwerkzeug ausgestaltet sind, das in den zumindest einen Schlitz lösbar eingesetzt werden kann. Dabei ist das Gehäuse der Funktionseinheit am Wasserauslauf der Auslaufarmatur derart drehbar gehalten, dass beispielsweise eine zwischen dem Gehäuseaußenumfang und dem das Auslaufende umgrenzenden innenumfang der Auslaufarmatur vorgesehene Schraub- oder Bajonettverbindung zwischen einer Löse- und einer Haltestellung verdreht werden kann. Da der zumindest eine Schlitz als eine Nut ausgebildet ist, die einen Nutgrund hat, der durch eine den Nutgrund bildende Gitterstruktur flüssigkeitsdurchlässig ausgestaltet ist, zeichnet sich die erfindungsgemäße Funktionseinheit durch eine hohe Stabilität der Gehäuse-Stirnfläche auch im Bereich des Schlitzes aus. Der Schlitz erlaubt die Zuhilfenahme einfachster Drehwerkzeuge, die in einem Haushalt meist zur Hand sind. Dabei ist der Schlitz unauffällig in die Gehäuse-Stirnfläche integriert, so dass der Schlitz zu unberechtigten oder unerwünschten Manipulationen an der Funktionseinheit weniger veranlasst.The functional unit according to the invention has at its downstream and the outflow openings having housing end face at least one downstream open slot, the opposite slot longitudinal sides are configured as a rotary control surfaces or as a tool engagement surfaces for a rotary tool, which can be releasably inserted into the at least one slot. The housing of the functional unit at the water outlet of the outlet fitting is rotatably supported such that, for example, between the housing outer circumference and the outlet end bounding the inner circumference of the outlet fitting provided screw or bayonet connection between a release and a holding position can be rotated. Since the at least one slot is formed as a groove, which has a groove bottom, which is designed to be permeable to liquid through a grid structure forming the groove bottom, the functional unit according to the invention is characterized by a high stability of the housing end face also in the region of the slot. The slot allows the use of the simplest turning tools that are usually at hand in a household. The slot is unobtrusively integrated into the housing end face, so that the slot causes less unauthorized or unwanted manipulation of the functional unit.
Die erfindungsgemäße Funktionseinheit weist also an ihrer abströmseitigen Gehäuse-Stirnfläche stets zumindest einen Schlitz auf, dessen gegenüberliegenden Schlitz-Längsseiten als Dreh- oder Werkzeugangriffsflächen für ein in den Schlitz einsetzbares Drehwerkzeug dienen.The functional unit according to the invention therefore always has at least one slot on its downstream housing end face, the opposite slot longitudinal sides of which serve as turning or tool engagement surfaces for a rotary tool which can be inserted into the slot.
Bei einer Ausführung des Erfindungsgegenstands ist das Gehäuse der Funktionseinheit am Wasserauslauf der Auslaufarmatur drehbar gehalten, so dass die zum Verdrehen des Gehäuses erforderliche Drehkraft über das in den Schlitz eingeführte Drehwerkzeug aufgebracht werden kann. Eine Funktionseinheit, die an ihrem Außenumfang ein Außengewinde trägt, welches mit einem Innengewinde am Innenumfang des Wasserauslaufs zusammenwirkt, kann somit leicht am Wasserauslauf der Auslaufarmatur montiert oder demontiert werden.In one embodiment of the subject invention, the housing of the functional unit is rotatably supported on the water outlet of the outlet fitting, so that the rotation force required to rotate the housing can be applied via the rotary tool inserted into the slot. A functional unit, which carries on its outer periphery an external thread which cooperates with an internal thread on the inner circumference of the water outlet, can thus be easily mounted or removed from the water outlet of the outlet fitting.
Bei einer anderen Ausführung der erfindungsgemäßen Funktionseinheit ist die Gehäuse-Stirnfläche relativ zum Gehäuse drehbar gelagert. Bei einer solchen Funktionseinheit kann das Drehwerkzeug in den Schlitz eingesetzt werden, um die Gehäuse-Stirnfläche in die gewünschte Relativposition zum Gehäuse zu bringen.In another embodiment of the functional unit according to the invention, the housing end face is rotatably mounted relative to the housing. In such a functional unit, the rotary tool can be inserted into the slot to bring the housing end face in the desired relative position to the housing.
Bei einer weiteren Ausführung gemäß der Erfindung, welche die beiden oben beschriebenen Merkmale des Erfindungsgegenstandes miteinander kombiniert, ist das Drehwerkzeug in den zumindest einen Schlitz einsetzbar, um die Relativposition zwischen der Gehäuse-Stirnfläche und dem Gehäuse zu verändern. Ist diese Relativposition in wenigstens einer Drehstellung und/oder in mindestens einer Drehrichtung festlegbar, lässt sich auch das Gehäuse selbst in seiner Relativposition zum Wasserauslauf verdrehen und beispielsweise dort durch eine Schraub- oder Steck-/Drehverbindung montieren und demontieren.In a further embodiment according to the invention, which the two features of the subject invention described above combined, the rotary tool is inserted into the at least one slot to change the relative position between the housing end face and the housing. If this relative position can be fixed in at least one rotational position and / or in at least one direction of rotation, the housing itself can also be rotated in its relative position to the water outlet and, for example, mounted and dismounted there by a screwed or plugged / swivel connection.
Als Drehwerkzeug kann in den Schlitz beispielsweise ein Schraubendreher eingesetzt werden. Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung gemäß der Erfindung sieht jedoch vor, dass der zumindest eine Schlitz zum Einsetzen eines münzförmig ausgebildeten Drehwerkzeugteilbereiches oder einer als Drehwerkzeug dienenden Münze ausgestaltet ist. Ein münzförmig ausgebildeter Drehwerkzeug-Teilbereich oder eine als Drehwerkzeug verwendbare Münze bieten den Vorteil, dass die vergleichsweise großen Flachseiten dieses Drehwerkzeuges die Relativposition von Gehäuse, Gehäuse-Stirnfläche und Wasserauslauf gut erkennen. Insbesondere eine Münze steht als Drehwerkzeug in der Regel zur Verfügung.As a turning tool, for example, a screwdriver can be inserted into the slot. A preferred development according to the invention, however, provides that the at least one slot is designed for inserting a coin-shaped rotary tool part region or a coin serving as a rotary tool. A coin-shaped rotary tool subarea or a coin which can be used as a rotary tool offer the advantage that the comparatively large flat sides of this rotary tool clearly recognize the relative position of the housing, housing end face and water outlet. In particular, a coin is available as a turning tool in the rule.
Um die Münze oder den münzförmigen Drehwerkzeug-Teilbereich in der im Schlitz befindlichen Gebrauchsstellung rasch und auf einfache Weise zentrieren zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der zumindest eine Schlitz in Einsetzrichtung einen kreissegmentförmigen Querschnitt hat.In order to be able to center the coin or the coin-shaped rotary tool subregion quickly and easily in the position of use in the slot, it is advantageous if the at least one slot has a circular segment-shaped cross section in the direction of insertion.
Um das Drehwerkzeug rasch an der Gehäuse-Stirnfläche ansetzen zu können, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn an der Gehäuse-Stirnfläche zumindest zwei, einander kreuzende Schlitze vorgesehen sind. Dabei sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, dass die Schlitze kreuzförmig zueinander angeordnet sind und dass der Kreuzungsknoten der einander kreuzenden Schlitze etwa mittig zur Längserstreckung zumindest eines Schlitzes vorgesehen ist.In order to be able to apply the rotary tool quickly to the housing end face, it is expedient if at least two intersecting slots are provided on the housing end face. In this case, a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the slots are arranged crosswise to each other are and that the junction of the intersecting slots is provided approximately centrally to the longitudinal extent of at least one slot.
Schlitz und Drehwerkzeug können verschiedenen Zwecken dienen.Slot and turning tool can serve different purposes.
So kann die Gehäuse-Stirnfläche zusätzlich relativ zum Gehäuse daran drehbar gelagert sein, um beispielsweise die im Gehäuseinneren befindlichen Stellelemente verstellen oder die Gehäuse-Stirnfläche und die daran vorgesehenen Durchströmöffnungen relativ zur Gehäuse-Längsachse verstellen und ausrichten zu können.Thus, the housing end face may additionally be rotatably mounted thereon relative to the housing in order to adjust, for example, the adjusting elements located inside the housing or to be able to adjust and align the housing end face and the flow openings provided thereon relative to the housing longitudinal axis.
Zusätzlich zu oder statt dieser Ausrichtfunktion von Schlitz und Drehwerkzeug können diese auch zur Montage und/oder Demontage der Funktionseinheit im Wasserauslauf der sanitären Auslaufarmatur bestimmt sein. Dabei besteht einer Weiterbildung gemäß der Erfindung darin, dass das in den zumindest einen Schlitz einsetzbare Drehwerkzeug zur Montage und/oder Demontage der durch eine Steck-/Dreh- oder Drehbewegung am Auslaufende der Auslaufarmatur lösbar montier- und/oder demontierbaren Funktionseinheit bestimmt ist.In addition to or instead of this alignment function of slot and turning tool these can also be intended for installation and / or disassembly of the functional unit in the water outlet of the sanitary outlet fitting. In this case, a further development according to the invention consists in that the rotary tool which can be inserted into the at least one slot for mounting and / or disassembling the functional unit which can be detachably mounted and / or dismounted by a plug / rotary or rotary movement at the outlet end of the outlet fitting is intended.
Um die Relativposition der Gehäuse-Stirnfläche in Bezug zum Gehäuse verändern zu können, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Gehäuse-Stirnfläche in der abströmseitigen Stirnebene der Funktionseinheit um die Gehäuse-Längsachse drehbar geführt und/oder um eine beliebige, quer zur Gehäuse-Längsachse orientierte Schwenkachse schwenkbar gelagert ist.In order to change the relative position of the housing end face in relation to the housing, it is expedient if the housing end face in the downstream end plane of the functional unit rotatably guided about the housing longitudinal axis and / or oriented to any, transverse to the housing longitudinal axis Swivel axis is pivotally mounted.
Um die in die Auslaufarmatur einsetzbare Funktionseinheit dort mittels einer einfachen Schraubverbindung leicht lösbar befestigen zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn am Gehäuse-Außenumfang des Gehäuses ein Außengewinde vorgesehen ist, das mit einem Innengewinde am Innenumfang der Auslaufarmatur zusammenwirkt, und dass über den zumindest einen Schlitz die zum Ein- und Ausschrauben der Gewinde erforderliche Drehkraft auf das Gehäuse übertragbar ist.In order to be able to attach the functional unit which can be inserted into the outlet fitting there easily by means of a simple screw connection, it is advantageous if an external thread is provided on the housing outer circumference of the housing interacts with an internal thread on the inner circumference of the outlet fitting, and that on the at least one slot, the torque required for screwing in and unscrewing the thread to the housing is transferable.
Um der Gehäuse-Stirnfläche im Bereich des Schlitzes eine ausreichende Stabilität zu geben und um den Schlitz ausreichend tief gestalten zu können, damit darin ein Drehwerkzeug fest und sicher angreifen kann, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Gehäuse-Stirnfläche wenigstens im Bereich des zumindest einen Schlitzes eine Querschnittsverdickung aufweist.In order to give the housing end face in the region of the slot sufficient stability and to make the slot sufficiently deep, so that a turning tool firmly and securely attack it, it is advantageous if the housing end face at least in the region of at least one slot has a cross-sectional thickening.
Dabei hat es auf die im Gehäuseinneren befindlichen Einbauelemente keinen Einfluss, wenn die Gehäuse-Stirnfläche eine konvexe oder dergleichen nach außen vorstehende Formgebung aufweist, und wenn diese Formgebung vorzugsweise zum Stirnflächen-Mittelpunkt zentriert ist.In this case, it has no influence on the mounting elements located inside the housing if the housing end face has a convex or similar outwardly projecting shape, and if this shape is preferably centered on the end face center point.
Die einfache Handhabung der erfindungsgemäßen Funktionseinheit wird erleichtert, wenn der zumindest eine Schlitz eine zum Stirnflächen-Mittelpunkt etwa radial ausgerichtete Schlitz-Längserstreckung hat.The ease of use of the functional unit according to the invention is facilitated if the at least one slot has a slot longitudinal extent approximately radially aligned with the end face center.
Ist die abströmseitige Gehäuse-Stirnfläche der erfindungsgemäßen Funktionseinheit drehbar und/oder verschwenkbar im Gehäuse gelagert, lässt sich der austretende Wasserstrahl in seiner Austrittsrichtung verändern. Dabei sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, dass an der Zuströmseite der Gehäuse-Stirnfläche zumindest ein, vorzugsweise auf einer durch das Zentrum der Gehäuse-Stirnfläche verlaufenden Mittellinie angeordneter Abstandhalter vorgesehen ist, der an einer in Strömungsrichtung vorgeschalteten Loch-, Gitter- oder Netzstruktur oder dergleichen Strömungsformungsteil anliegt und eine Schwenkachse definiert, um welche die Gehäuse-Stirnfläche in der gewählten Relativposition oder Drehstellung von Gehäuse und Gehäuse-Stirnfläche kippbar oder verschwenkbar ist.If the outflow-side housing end face of the functional unit according to the invention is mounted rotatably and / or pivotably in the housing, the outgoing water jet can be changed in its outlet direction. In this case, a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that at least one, preferably arranged on a running through the center of the housing end face center line spacer is provided on the inflow side of the housing end face, which is connected upstream of a hole, grid or Net structure or the like flow shaping part is applied and defines a pivot axis about which the housing end face in the selected relative position or rotational position of the housing and housing end face is tiltable or pivotable.
Dabei lässt sich nicht nur die Relativposition von Gehäuse-Stirnfläche einerseits und Gehäuse andererseits verschwenken und/oder verdrehen, - vielmehr wird auch die Montage oder Demontage des mittels einer Schraubverbindung oder einer Steck-/Drehverbindung im Wasserauslauf gehaltenen Gehäuses erleichtert, wenn an der Abströmseite des Strömungsformungsteiles wenigstens ein Drehanschlag vorsteht, der in mindestens einer Relativposition oder Drehstellung von Gehäuse und Gehäuse-Stirnfläche derart an dem zumindest einen Abstandhalter anliegt, dass das Gehäuse und die Gehäuse-Stirnfläche drehfest verbunden sind.In this case, not only the relative position of the housing end face on the one hand and the housing on the other hand can be pivoted and / or rotated, but also the assembly or disassembly of the held by a screw or a plug / rotary connection in the water outlet housing is facilitated if on the outflow side of the Flow forming part projects at least one rotation stop, which abuts in at least one relative position or rotational position of the housing and housing end face on the at least one spacer, that the housing and the housing end face are rotatably connected.
Um die Schwenkachse der Gehäuse-Stirnfläche besser erkennen und um ein Ausrichten des austretenden Wasserstrahles erleichtern zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn wenigstens ein Schlitz achsparallel oder um 90° versetzt zu dem zumindest einen, auf der Zuströmseite der Gehäusestirnfläche vorgesehenen Abstandhalter angeordnet ist.To better recognize the pivot axis of the housing end face and to facilitate alignment of the exiting water jet, it is advantageous if at least one slot axially parallel or offset by 90 ° to the at least one, provided on the inflow side of the housing end face spacer is arranged.

Mit den hier dargestellten Strahlreglern, die als belüftete Strahlregler ausgestaltet sind, soll das aus dem Wasserauslauf austretende Wasser zu einem homogenen, nicht-spritzenden und perlend-weichen Wasserstrahl geformt werden. Die Strahlregler weisen dazu einen zuströmseitigen Strahlzerleger auf, der das zuströmende Wasser in eine Vielzahl von Einzelstrahlen unterteilt; dabei entsteht auf der Abströmseite des Strahlzerlegers ein Unterdruck, der ein Einsaugen von Umgebungsluft bewirkt, welche durch Gehäuse- oder Belüftungsöffnungen 14 in das Gehäuseinnere des Gehäuses 6 eindringen und dort mit dem durchströmenden Wasser vermischt werden kann.With the jet regulators shown here, which are designed as ventilated jet regulators, the water emerging from the water outlet is to be shaped into a homogeneous, non-spraying and pearly-soft water jet. For this purpose, the jet regulators have an inflow-side jet breaker which divides the inflowing water into a plurality of individual jets; This creates a negative pressure on the outflow side of the jet separator, which causes an intake of ambient air, which penetrate through housing or
