Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sub-shower having a fastening device with two recesses for attaching the sub-shower to a toilet bowl, a valve and a nozzle, wherein the nozzle is in line connection with the valve.
  • the invention is particularly directed to a shower as an additional module for a conventional toilet, which has no Unterduschfunktion.
  • shower toilets with under-shower are also known as "shower toilets.”
  • shower toilets known from the market have an integrated shower function for the anal and / or genital area of the user, for which purpose a nozzle is arranged at the end of the shower unit
  • the nozzle is usually retractable, either electromechanically or under water pressure, in the latter case the water pressure is used to feed the nozzle.
  • the shower unit is controlled by the valve, which opens and closes the water supply. The operation can be done manually, for example by turning the valve, or electromechanically, with the electro-mechanical control triggering a pulse which causes the valve to open or close.
  • the flow rate can often be regulated.
  • shower toilets with an integral under-shower are sophisticated toilets that have additional functions depending on the equipment, such as drying function, heating function of the toilet seat and the like. Such shower toilets have basically proven. However, their complexity makes them very expensive.
  • a shower device which can be retrofitted as an additional module to a conventional toilet.
  • the known shower device has a fastening device with two recesses. Through the two recesses grip the threaded rods of the toilet seat hinge for attaching the toilet seat to the toilet bowl. The shower device is thus clamped between the toilet seat and the basin for attachment.
  • the known shower device allows a cost-effective retrofitting of conventional toilets. For the Unterduschfunktion only a separate water connection is required.
  • the well-known shower facility is quite high. This has the consequence that the toilet seat in its rear area also increases, so that there is a risk that the toilet seat in its rear section no longer rests on the toilet bowl. In addition to optical losses may be the risk that an overload of the toilet seat and / or shower facilities occur.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a retrofittable shower device that ensures a flat, stable and durable overall arrangement.
  • the generic sub-shower according to the invention is characterized in that the line between the two recesses is led forward.
  • the invention is based on the basic idea that a particularly flat construction can preferably be created in that the line runs at least partially behind the recesses of the fastening device. Only the supply line to the nozzle - which in turn is preferably arranged in front of the fastening device - is guided between the recesses to the front. This line section can be kept flat for technical reasons, especially if it is a hose-like
  • a particularly advantageous ⁇ embodiment is characterized in that Fastening device has at least one, preferably two fastening tab (s).
  • the at least one fastening strap offers the possibility of being clamped between the hinge (for attaching the toilet seat to the basin) and the basin.
  • hinge pins of hinges pass through the respective recess, which is open or closed, in particular as a slot
  • fastening straps offer the advantage of weight savings.
  • the fastening straps can be designed so that their distance from one another is variable. This ensures adaptability to different fasteners of toilet seats and / or toilet bowl.
  • the fastening tab (s) may be suitably connected to a housing of the shower device, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • the fastening device comprises two separate fastening tabs, each of which advantageously has a recess.
  • the advantage of an independent arrangement of the mounting tabs is beyond the above-described advantage of adaptability in that there is sufficient space between the mounting tabs to guide the line between the two recesses forward.
  • the fastening device advantageously has a maximum height of 10 mm, at least in the region of the recesses, in particular of a maximum of 3 mm. If the fastening device is formed of metal, a sufficient stability is given even if the fastening device is significantly thinner than 10 mm, in particular thinner than 3 mm, for example, about 1 mm.
  • the sub-shower has a housing, preferably with a bottom and a top.
  • the line is advantageously performed.
  • the housing protects the components received in the housing and allows inspection thereof when the top and bottom are detachably connected together, as is considered advantageous.
  • the attachment tabs go from the housing, and advantageously forward.
  • the housing is preferably arranged behind the fastening tabs (or in general the fastening device). This requires that in the assembled state, the housing behind the toilet seat
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the fastening device is suspended in the housing, in particular in the underside, and preferably displaceable relative to the housing.
  • the sub-shower can be adapted to different (predetermined)
  • the underside preferably has a screening, which with the fastening device interacts.
  • the screening also prevents a
  • the fastening device is clamped between the top and the bottom of the housing.
  • Such a construction allows easy fixing of the fastening device to the housing and also ensures easy adjustability.
  • safety faucets must be installed at hazardous water points.
  • the vulnerable places also includes a Unterdusche.
  • the safety valves ensure that hazardous points are protected against sucking back, pushing back or returning non-drinking water.
  • a water protection be arranged in the housing of the sub-shower.
  • the water protection can be, in particular, a free outlet with an injector.
  • a jet of water is sprayed over a free space into a receptacle, which may be funnel-like.
  • the injector it is possible to have a required
  • the bottom of the housing forms a channel ⁇ for the leakage.
  • the bottom preferably takes on two tasks, namely on the one hand the attachment of the water protection and on the other hand, the derivation of the leakage in the toilet.
  • the supply line of the nozzle is arranged in the channel.
  • the water protection is arranged behind the recesses and the underside extends between the two recesses forward. Since the water protection by design has a certain height, it is arranged in the advantageous embodiment behind the recesses, with the result that it is in the installed state behind the toilet seat. The channel, however, can be kept flat and led forward between the recesses. By this measure, it is advantageous not to increase the (existing) toilet seat.
  • a particularly advantageous construction is characterized in that the nozzle is arranged at a free end of the underside of the housing. In particular, the nozzle may be attached to the underside. It is considered particularly advantageous if the nozzle can be moved out by the water pressure, preferably downwards (in the installed state), in particular substantially vertically downwards.
  • the nozzle itself has a spray angle that is directed upwards.
  • the top of the housing preferably covers the channel.
  • the upper side also covers the nozzle.
  • the top expediently forms in its end a downwardly directed cover. in the If necessary, the nozzle extends down beyond the cover.
  • the invention is further directed to a toilet with a sub-shower.
  • the toilet has a toilet seat, whose attachment to the toilet bowl at the same time
  • Fastening device is fixed with that attachment to the toilet bowl of the toilet, with which the toilet seat is fixed to the toilet bowl to the toilet bowl.
