Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower or hand shower according to the preamble of patent claim 1 and a method for selecting a jet according to the preamble of claim 18.
  • Most showers or hand showers feature shower bases or multi-jet spray discs.
  • two or more groups of different jet outlet openings are arranged in the jet discs, which are supplied separately or together with water.
  • the inflow to the jet outlet openings is regulated by valve devices.
  • the DE 10 2009 008 196 A1 discloses a hand shower with a switching valve having a valve closing body and a valve seat in the form of valve discs with through holes.
  • the rotation of the valve closing body is effected by an actuator according to the ballpoint pen principle against the force of a compression spring.
  • the valve disc is further rotated by a certain angle of rotation with a push button.
  • a certain type of jet must be switched over using a different jet and the push-button must be pressed several times.
  • the US Pat. No. 5,937,905 discloses a sprayer with two spray patterns and a switching device with two axially displaceable valve closing bodies, which can be moved back and forth between a shut-off position and a passage position via a toggle switch. Depending on the position of the valve closing body, access to a group of jet outlet openings is opened and, at the same time, the other access to the second jet pattern is closed.
  • each valve is associated with a group of jet outlet openings.
  • Each valve comprises an axially displaceable valve closing body, which can be returned to the shut-off position via a push-button actuation from a shut-off position into an open position and with repeated pushbutton actuation.
  • Each individual valve can be controlled independently of the others.
  • all existing valves on the hand shower can be in a shut-off position. Therefore, further jet outlet openings are arranged, which can not be shut off via the valves. This means that with pending water pressure through these jet outlet openings continuously water is discharged. Thus, these jet outlet openings are not controllable and act as a non-lockable beam.
  • a distributor device which is mounted in the handle of a hand shower.
  • the distributor device has an inlet chamber and a plurality of outlet chambers, which are fluidically connected to one another and can be separated from one another by sealing valves.
  • each of the sealing valves can be actuated with a push rod, which are accessible from the outside of the shower.
  • a control knob is provided on each push rod for each valve to operate the up and down movement of the sealing valves.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a shower or hand shower with a plurality of jet outlet openings and / or multiple jet types whose inflow is controllable via valves.
  • a shower or hand shower with the features of claim 1 and by a method according to claim 18.
  • a shower or hand shower is provided with the invention, with a plurality of jet outlets, a number "x"(x> 1) of valves that regulate the flow of fluid to the jet outlet openings, each valve is arranged singly and each valve comprises a movable valve body, with which at least two defined valve positions can be realized.
  • defined Valve positions may be, for example, the passage or the shut-off position of a valve.
  • Different jet types can be realized for example by different jet outlet openings. In the case of "x" valves, "x" different spray types or "x" different types of jet outlet openings are usually provided.
  • jet outlet openings for individual jets, ventilated jets, massage jets or moving jets may be provided. These differ in their size and shape. All jet outlet openings are controlled via valves.
  • a pushbutton is arranged to control it. The selection of a jet and the control of a valve by pressing the push button and thus by actuating the associated valve body. As a result, each valve can be controlled independently of the others.
  • the valve body Upon actuation of a push button, the valve body from the first valve position to the second valve position postponed.
  • the same pushbutton or the same pushbuttons are actuated twice or repeatedly, the valve body of the associated valves remains in the second valve position. At the same time, the rest of all other valve body is returned to the first valve position, the associated pushbutton is unconfirmed.
  • valve body is released from a locking position.
  • the locking and / or release position is defined by the control or the position of the control.
  • a valve body can be moved into a third valve position, in which the control is positioned such that the valve body of the valves, the push button is not actuated, are released and return to the first valve position.
  • each valve can be controlled individually, in combination with other or all “x” valves simultaneously. Furthermore, the provision of "z” (z ⁇ x) valves from the second valve position to the first valve position by actuation of at least one or by pressing "x-z" pushbuttons takes place.
  • a development of the invention provides that at least one further valve is arranged, which is in operative combination with one of the "x" valves.
