Definitions
- the invention relates to a shower head.
- showerheads exist in a wide variety of shapes and designs, but operate almost exclusively on the same principle: the showering water is channeled from the waterline into a manifold cavity from which it exits through one or more openings, thereby directly shaping the shower jet. In the simplest case, there is only one large opening, through which the water pours like a shower on the showering person, so-called flood shower heads.
- nozzle shower heads which either generate a shower jet consisting of a plurality of individual jets with the aid of line pressure or allow the water to flow out largely without pressure from the interior of the shower head and thus produce a rain-like shower jet, are more popular in daily use , The latter type is particularly popular because of its soft, reminiscent of natural rain ray.
- shower heads For the causal prevention of calcification nozzle shower heads are known in which by means of compact nozzle arrangements high flow velocities and turbulence are generated, whereby limescale deposits are mechanically prevented.
- these shower heads which are widely used in public institutions, produce a hard shower jet that is far removed from popular rainfall.
- a surge shower describes the publication US 2006/0226255 A1. It is proposed to direct the shower water into a vessel from which it passes over the edge and runs off in random distribution from the bottom of the vessel. This partially breaks up and dynamizes the waterfall, making it more similar to a waterfall than normal splash showerheads. However, it remains in the mentioned disadvantages of showers and beyond the problem of the showering in the vessel remaining water, which promotes germination or must be drained by means of additional functional elements after showering.
- nozzle showerheads which produce a shower jet that is perceived as pleasant by most people in everyday use, clearly have problems.
- the splash showerheads are not suitable in principle to produce a pleasant shower jet.
- the shower head according to the invention does not require a distributor cavity with nozzles.
- the shower water is directed to this surface by utilizing the adhesion forces of the water.
- Geometric drip structures can be formed on the part of the shower head itself or on it.
- shower heads according to this invention are considerably expanded. Due to the possibility of designing as a solid body with external structures on the one hand, for example, luxury designs made of granite or marble conceivable, on the other hand, but also very inexpensive or lightweight designs such as plastic blow molding or foam.
- gravity alone can provide for the distribution of the water and the distributed dripping, so that no overpressure is necessary for the generation of a uniform jet pattern distributed over a surface.
- This shower heads are on this principle better than conventional rain showerheads suitable for installations in which only a very low water pressure in the supply line is available.
- Claim 2 also proposes to first direct the water to a surface adjacent or adjacent to the drainer where it may spread so that the transfer to the drainer occurs in the desired manner. This simplifies the construction in that the water is very simply e.g. can be directed to the top of the part, which has the draining surface, and can run around a rounded edge of the body distributed on the draining surface.
- Claim 3 additionally proposes a structure on the distribution surface, e.g. geometric or surface-physical (hydrophobic / hydrophilic) type to provide the desired distribution of the water for the functional principle.
- a structure on the distribution surface e.g. geometric or surface-physical (hydrophobic / hydrophilic) type to provide the desired distribution of the water for the functional principle.
- Such structures can be advantageous in order to influence the distribution of the water before the transfer to the drainer surface.
- Claim 4 proposes to give geometric Abtropf Modellen at least partially a stalactite-like shape. This form, borrowed from the structures of a stalactite cave, works very reliably and enables an aesthetically valuable, natural design.
- Claim 5 proposes to make the drainer at least partially ajar against a rock fracture surface. This design also provides an aesthetically desirable appearance similar to a rough, unhewn piece of stone.
- Claim 6 proposes to integrate in one or more of the water-wetted surfaces light sources. The integrated light sources are flooded with water, which dynamically refracts the light and creates caustics and other lighting effects similar to those of a swimming pool with underwater lighting.
- Claim 7 proposes to assemble the drainer part of the shower head to the part containing the water inlet.
- this design corresponds in appearance to the closest to that of shower heads according to the prior art, in which the shower head with cavity and nozzles is mounted on the water inlet pipe. Due to the new functional principle, however, there is no need to provide a seal at the transition point between the water pipe and the shower head. This is advantageous because the soft seals commonly used at this point age and become leaky over time.
- Claim 8 refers to designs in which the shower head also contains the water inlet. Such a design results, for example, when an installation with a high degree of integration is made of one part or when a large, overhanging wall installation also absorbs the channels required for the water inlet in order to hide it in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
- Claim 9 goes beyond claim 7, the fact that with the seal omitted and the need to generate a contact pressure on this seal, which very simple assembly of the shower head, for example. enabled by magnetic attraction. A magnetically attached showerhead could be removed very easily for cleaning purposes, or it could easily be changed as desired from a selection of variously designed compatible showerheads.
- Claim 10 describes the possibility to attach the shower head directly to a wall or ceiling. With such a design, for example, embedded in the ceiling or massive, overhanging from a wall installations are possible.
- Patent claim 1 1 describes a design in which can be switched by changing the water volume flow between two different types of spray.
- the transition between the water inlet and the draining surface can be designed, for example, with a tear-off edge such that when a certain threshold value of the water volume flow is exceeded, the adhesion breaks off and the water flows directly into the showering person in a surge, instead of continuing on to the draining surface ,
- the showering person can start the shower process with a pleasant rain jet, which results in economical, low flow rates, and at any time, for example, to flush out shampoo from the hair, increase the flow.
- the result is automatically a surge jet, which is ideal for this purpose. Lowering the flow causes a return to the rain jet.
- no switching valve and no second water riser to the shower head is necessary, which simplifies the installation compared to the prior art and makes the operation more intuitive.
- FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a shower head
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view obliquely from above of the shower head of Fig. 1,
- Fig. 3 is a sectional view of a shower head according to Figure 1 with integrated light source
- Fig. 4 is a sectional view of a wall-mounted shower head
- Fig. 5 is a side view of another wall-mounted shower head.
- Fig. 1 shows an embodiment whose outer shape comes close to round rain showerheads according to the prior art, but based on the new functional principle described.
- a part 1 of the shower head having a draining surface 5 is here by way of example designed as a biconvex disk, which is fastened to a pipe which leads vertically downwards from the ceiling.
- the tube represents a water inlet 2.
- Water 3 flows out of the tube end onto an upper surface 4 of the disc 1, where it is distributed. For even distribution, it is helpful if the water is low-turbulence and can escape evenly in all directions.
- the distributor surface 4 can be largely arbitrary Topography can be designed with the restriction that concave points from which water can not drain after completion of a shower process are less expedient.
- stalactite-like structure 6 essentially needle-shaped, cylindrical, rib-shaped or wholly irregular structures are conceivable.
- a distributed dripping can also be achieved with surfaces having a locally hydrophobic design.
- FIG. 2 shows elements of a distributor structure 7 arranged on the distributor surface 4.
- the distribution of the water 3 on the distributor surface 4 can be influenced in a targeted manner.
- irregularities or turbulence can be compensated, resulting in the leakage of the water 3 from the water inlet 2.
- 3 shows by way of example a variant with a light source 8 integrated in the distributor surface 4.
- the light source 8 is flooded with water. Irregularities on the surface of the water film dynamically refract and scatter the light, creating caustics and other lighting effects similar to those of a swimming pool with underwater lighting on the illuminated surfaces.
- the term light source refers to the place where the light rays exit.
- Fig. 4 shows another possible embodiment of the shower head.
- the shower head 1 with the draining surface 5 is shown here attached by way of example to a wall 9. It is also conceivable to attach the shower head 1 to a ceiling, to let him into this, or even perform a part of the ceiling itself as a drainer 5.
- the water serzulauf 2 not provided via a separate pipe, but is provided in the shower head 1 itself.
- FIG. 5 shows a design of the shower head 1 in which a surge jet 10 can be generated by altering a volume flow Q of the water flow 3 as an alternative to a rain jet originating from the drip structure 6.
- the water 3 exits from a slot nozzle 1 1, from which it continues to exploit its adhesion to the draining surface 5, when the volume flow Q falls below a certain, predetermined threshold value Q crit . If the threshold is exceeded, the adhesion at the transition between slit nozzle 1 1 and 5 draining tap rips off, so that the water pours as a flood jet 10 directly to the showering person.
