Definitions

  • Perineal shower of the type used for personal hygiene close to or in the toilet bowl, in place of a bidet, supplying water by means of a hose and a showerhead, characterised in that it comprises a tap integrated in one single piece, formed by a part to be built in and another external part, positioned on its free end, corresponding to the on/off control knob, designed to regulate the flow of water, with a similar configuration to the tap in terms of size and structure, presenting in its interior a cavity that when positioned vertically allows the fixing of the showerhead, with the result that when it is freed from being fixed, the on/off control knob may be operated by being turned to the left or the right, resulting in oblique positions that prevent the fixing of the showerhead.
  • Spanish utility model U200900652 presents a mono mixer tap with shower designed to replace the bidet but operating either through the tap pipe or the shower, according to the user's needs.
  • a perineal shower that is the object of this invention has been designed, and is characterised in that it comprises a tap integrated in one single piece, formed by a part to be built in and another external part, positioned on its free end, corresponding to the on/off control knob, with a similar configuration to the tap in terms of size and structure, thereby making its installation easier and reducing costs by reducing components.
  • the on/off control knob designed to control the flow of water, presents in its interior a cavity that when positioned vertically, allows the fixing of the showerhead, with the result that when it is freed from being fixed, the on/off control knob may be operated by being turned to the right or the left, resulting in oblique positions that prevent the fixing of the showerhead, creating a safety system that allows the flow of water from the tap to be opened or closed as the user wishes, ensuring that the hose and the showerhead never remain subject to water pressure, preventing possible splits or leaks, and safeguarding its useful life.
  • the cavity of the on/off control knob When the user needs to use the tap they must take the showerhead from the cavity of the on/off control knob, which may as a result be rotated for its use, allowing the switching on, control of flow and switching off of one or more flows of water, the cavity of the control knob thus being positioned in an inclined manner, thereby preventing the fixing of the showerhead.
  • the cavity of the "on" control knob After use of the tap, when it is turned off, the cavity of the "on" control knob is positioned vertically to allow the showerhead to be fixed again.
  • this perineal shower consists of a tap with a water inlet from the wall.
  • the switching on, control of flow and switching off of the water is achieved by rotating the on/off control knob by means of a ceramic-type lock.
  • Said control knob is also used to support the showerhead when the system is not in use.
  • the design of the on/off control knob does not allow the introduction of the showerhead if it is not in the closed position.
  • the hose and the head which are less resistant to pressure than the ceramic lock, do not remain under constant pressure, thereby making increasing safety.
  • the perineal shower consists of a tap with a water inlet and allows the switching on, control of flow and switching off of the water.
  • the water outlet for the shower hose it has another water outlet that allows the mechanism of the WC cistern to be supplied.
  • the system may therefore be installed in the same wall inlet as the one used by the cistern.
  • the opening system allows the flow to be controlled in the outlet for the hose and also allows the inlet for the cistern to be opened or closed. It is possible, depending on the position of the lever, to open or close the outlet for the shower hose and the outlet for the cistern separately or simultaneously. This allows the shower hose to be used once the cistern has been filled, the WC cistern to be filled when the hose is not being used, and even the supply to the cistern inlet to be cut off if necessary.
  • the perineal shower consists of a mixer tap, of cold water and hot water respectively, from the wall.
  • the switching on, control of flow and switching off of the water is achieved by rotating the on/off control knob, allowing mixed water to be obtained at the required temperature.
  • This alternative embodiment of a perineal shower is made possible by means of a progressive ceramic cartridge, the switching-on, switchingoff, control of flow and temperature mixing being achieved by rotating the on/off control knob, the same safety system thus being that of the preceding embodiments.
  • Another alternative embodiment of the perineal shower consists of a tap with a water inlet incorporated into an thermostatic tap to be built in, which is configured for a part to be built into the wall, concealed by a trim cover and another external part, where the water inlet tap with its corresponding on/off control knob and the temperature control knob of the thermostatic tap are incorporated, the two being positioned parallel to each other and a small gap being maintained between the two of them.
  • the installation of the perineal shower incorporated into a thermostatic tap to be built in is achieved by attaching the part built into the wall to the existing installation, with the tap of the perineal shower and the temperature control knob of the thermostatic tap then being attached to it, said assembly being concealed by means of a trim cover, the hose and showerhead then being incorporated into the tap.
  • the installation of the perineal shower incorporated into a thermostatic tap to be built in may also be achieved by integrating, during manufacture and on the part to be built in of the thermostatic tap, the tap of the perineal shower and the temperature control knob, all that is then required is to connect it to the existing installation, with the trim cover then being fitted to conceal the assembly, and the rest of the components then being incorporated.
  • Another alternative embodiment of the perineal shower consists of a tap with a water inlet, incorporated into the body of an external thermostatic tap, with its corresponding on/off control knob for controlling flow, with control of the temperature being achieved by adjusting the control knob of the external thermostatic tap.
  • thermostatic tap The incorporation of a perineal shower into a thermostatic tap offers significant advantages in terms of functionality, as the thermostatic tap is installed in order to adjust the temperature of the water mixture, with no additional control knob for regulating the flow being necessary, as said regulation of the flow is achieved by means of the on/off control knob of the tap of the perineal shower, thereby reducing costs significantly and also considerably reducing the space needed for its installation.
  • Another alternative embodiment of the perineal shower consists of a tap with a water inlet, incorporated into the body of an external mixer tap, with its corresponding on/off control knob for controlling flow, with control of the temperature being achieved by adjusting the control knob or lever of the external mixer tap.
  • the on/off control knob for controlling the flow of the tap of the perineal shower incorporates a small-sized lateral and central wing, designed to make the control knob easier to rotate.
  • all the embodiments optionally include an accessory for holding the toilet roll and/or a hook for hanging a towel, enabling these accessories to be removed from the bathroom.
  • the perineal shower presented herein offers numerous advantages in terms of adaptability, the most important being that, as well as replacing the bidet, it is comprised of a tap for the supply of water by means of a hose and a showerhead, integrated in one single piece, formed by a part to be built in and another external part, positioned on its free end, corresponding to the on/off control knob, with a similar configuration to the tap in terms of size and structure, allowing the flow of water from the tap to be turned on or off as the user wishes, thereby making its installation easier and also reducing costs as a result of the reduction of components.
  • the on/off control knob is designed to regulate the flow of water, presenting a cavity designed for the fixing of the vertically positioned showerhead, when the control knob is turned off, preventing the fixing of the showerhead when the control knob is turned on, given that the cavity is positioned in an inclined manner, thereby ensuring that the hose and the showerhead never remain under pressure, thus preventing possible splits or leaks.
  • the perineal shower in an alternative embodiment consists of a tap that incorporates an inlet for the cistern, which also allows the cistern to be supplied, it being able to be installed in the existing inlet in the wall for the cistern.
  • the perineal shower in another alternative embodiment consists of a mixer tap, of cold water and hot water respectively, from the wall, allowing mixed water to be obtained at the temperature required by the user.
  • the perineal shower in another alternative embodiment consists of a mono mixer tap with its corresponding on/off control knob incorporated into a thermostatic tap to be built in.
  • the perineal shower in another alternative embodiment consists of a mono mixer tap with its corresponding on/off control knob incorporated into the body of an external thermostatic tap.
  • thermostatic tap offers significant advantages in terms of functionality, as the thermostatic tap is installed in order to adjust the temperature of the water mixture, with no additional control knob for regulating the flow being necessary, as said regulation of the flow is achieved by means of the on/off control knob of the tap of the perineal shower, thereby reducing costs significantly and also reducing considerably the space needed for its installation.
