Demgemäss umfasst eine Sprühdüse für einen Sanitärartikel, insbesondere für ein Urinal, einen Düsenkopf, der einen sich entlang einer Mittelachse erstreckenden Düsenkanal mit einem Düseneingang und einem Düsenausgang aufweist, und ein Leitungsstück, das einen Innenraum mit einem Eingang, an den eine Wasserleitung anschliessbar ist, und einem Ausgang aufweist. Der Düsenkopf ist im Innenraum des Leitungsstückes gelagert, wobei der Düseneingang vom Innenraum zugänglich ist, so dass Spülwasser aus dem Innenraum des Leitungsstückes in den Düsenkanal eintreten kann und der Düsenausgang aus dem Innenraum hinausragt, und wobei der Düsenkopf über ein Sicherungselement bezüglich des Innenraum des Leitungsstückes gesichert ist.This object is achieved by the subject matter of claim 1. Accordingly, a spray nozzle for a sanitary article, in particular for a urinal, comprises a nozzle head which has a nozzle channel which extends along a central axis and has a nozzle inlet and a nozzle outlet, and a line piece which has an interior space with a Entrance to which a water pipe can be connected and has an exit. The nozzle head is mounted in the interior of the line section, the nozzle inlet being accessible from the interior, so that rinsing water can enter the nozzle channel from the interior of the line section and the nozzle outlet protrudes from the interior, and the nozzle head has a securing element with respect to the interior of the line section is secured.

Durch die Lagerung des Düsenkopfes im Innenraum des Leitungsstückes kann der Düsenkopf sehr einfach ausgetauscht werden. Es muss nur der Düsenkopf im Falle eines Defektes, wie einer Verkalkung, ausgetauscht werden, während das Leitungsstück in der Sanitärarmatur verbleibt. Somit ist der Austausch der eigentlichen Düse vergleichsweise einfach und eine aufwändige Demontage von weiteren Komponenten entfällt. Insbesondere entfällt eine Trennung zwischen der Sprühdüse und der Wasserleitung.By storing the nozzle head in the interior of the pipe section, the nozzle head can be replaced very easily. Only the nozzle head needs to be replaced in the event of a defect, such as calcification, while the line piece remains in the sanitary fitting. This makes the replacement of the actual nozzle comparatively easy, and there is no need to disassemble additional components. In particular, there is no separation between the spray nozzle and the water line.

Darüber ist das Leitungsstück unabhängig von den Dimensionen des Sanitärartikels, wodurch die nötige Passgenauigkeit zwischen Düsenkopf und Leitungsstück erreichbar ist. Das Leitungsstück bildet bei einem Wechsel des Düsenkopfs eine immergleiche Aufnahme, wodurch Ausrichtarbeiten entfallen.In addition, the pipe section is independent of the dimensions of the sanitary article, which means that the necessary fit between the nozzle head and the pipe section can be achieved. When changing the nozzle head, the line piece always forms the same receptacle, which eliminates the need for alignment work.

Das Sicherungselement ist vorzugsweise derart ausgebildet, dass dieses von Hand, also ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Werkzeuges gelöst werden kann.The securing element is preferably designed in such a way that it can be released by hand, ie without the aid of a tool.

Das Sicherungselement kann innerhalb oder ausserhalb des Innenraums des Leitungsstückes liegen.The securing element can be inside or outside the interior of the Line piece lie.

Das Leitungsstück selbst ist derart ausgebildet, dass es im Sanitärartikel gelagert werden kann. Es ist dabei getrennt vom Sanitärartikel ausgebildet und ist also nicht Teil vom Sanitärartikel, sondern ein separates Element.The line piece itself is designed such that it can be stored in the sanitary article. It is designed separately from the sanitary article and is therefore not part of the sanitary article, but a separate element.

Der Düsenkopf und das Leitungsstück sind zwei separat zueinander ausgebildete Teile, wobei der Düsenkopf, wie oben beschrieben, in den Innenraum des Leitungsstückes einsetzbar ist. Das Leitungsstück dient, mit anderen Worten gesagt, der Lagerung des Düsenkopfes.The nozzle head and the line piece are two separate parts, the nozzle head, as described above, being insertable into the interior of the line piece. In other words, the line piece serves to support the nozzle head.

Erfindungsgemäß ist der Düsenkopf über den Ausgang des Leitungsstückes in den Innenraum einsetzbar. Der Ausgang des Leitungsstückes ist dabei in Einbaulage derart platziert, dass dieser gut, insbesondere von vorne, erreichbar ist.According to the invention, the nozzle head can be inserted into the interior via the outlet of the line piece. The outlet of the line section is placed in the installed position in such a way that it is easily accessible, especially from the front.

Erfindungsgemäß umfassen der Düsenkopf und das Leitungsstück Ausrichtelemente, so dass der Düsenkopf in seiner Einbaulage bezüglich einer Bewegung um die Mittelachse drehfest im Innenraum gelagert ist. Durch die Ausrichtelemente kann also keine Verdrehung zwischen Düsenkopf und Leitungsstück erfolgen. Darüber hinaus wird bei der Montage oder dem Austausch eines Düsenkopfes der einzusetzende Düsenkopf immer in der gleichen Lage zum Leitungsstück ausgerichtet sein.According to the invention, the nozzle head and the line piece comprise alignment elements, so that the nozzle head is mounted in the interior in a rotationally fixed manner with respect to a movement about the central axis. Due to the alignment elements, there can be no twisting between the nozzle head and the line piece. In addition, when installing or replacing a nozzle head, the nozzle head to be used will always be aligned in the same position with respect to the line piece.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Sicherungselement eine Nut- und Kamm-Verbindung zwischen dem Düsenkopf und dem Innenraum. Eines der beiden Elemente umfasst dabei den Kamm und das andere die Nut, wobei der Kamm in die Nut eingreift. In dieser ersten Ausführungsform liegt das Sicherungselement innerhalb des Innenraums.According to the invention, the securing element is a groove and comb connection between the nozzle head and the interior. One of the two elements comprises the comb and the other the groove, the comb engaging in the groove. In this first embodiment, the securing element lies within the interior.

Vorzugsweise ist die Nut am Düsenkopf angeordnet und der Kamm erstreckt sich in den Innenraum des Leitungsstückes und ist somit Teil desselben. Eine umgekehrte Anordnung wäre auch denkbar.The groove is preferably arranged on the nozzle head and the comb extends into the interior of the line piece and is therefore part of the same. A reverse arrangement would also be conceivable.

Die Nut- und Kamm-Verbindung kann beispielsweise als Bajonettverschluss ausgebildet sein, wobei die Nut- und Kamm-Verbindung Abschnitte aufweist, welche sich in Richtung der Mittelachse und rechtwinklig dazu erstrecken.The groove and comb connection can be designed, for example, as a bayonet catch be, wherein the groove and comb connection has sections which extend in the direction of the central axis and at right angles thereto.

Erfindungsgemäß weist die besagte Nut- und Kamm-Verbindung mindestens einen Teilabschnitt auf, welcher bezüglich der Mittelachse mindestens teilweise umlaufend und entlang der Mittelachse verlaufend ausgebildet ist, derart, dass eine Drehung des Düsenkopfes im feststehenden Innenraum in eine Axialverschiebung entlang der Mittelachse resultiert. Es handelt sich also um eine Nut- und Kamm-Verbindung, welche in Richtung der Mittelachse gesehen, eine Steigung aufweist. Der Teilabschnitt kann auch als gewindeartig bezeichnet werden. Diese Ausbildung hat den Vorteil, dass eine Drehung des Düsenkopfes um die Mittelachse gleichzeitig in einer Längsbewegung entlang der Mittelachse resultiert, wodurch der Düsenkopf einfach eingebaut und ausgebaut werden kann. Beim Ausbau können so Verkalkungen im Innenraum leicht aufgetrennt werden.According to the invention, said groove and crest connection has at least one partial section which is at least partially circumferential with respect to the central axis and extends along the central axis, such that rotation of the nozzle head in the fixed interior space results in an axial displacement along the central axis. It is therefore a groove and ridge connection, which has an incline when viewed in the direction of the central axis. The section can also be called thread-like. This design has the advantage that rotation of the nozzle head about the central axis simultaneously results in a longitudinal movement along the central axis, as a result of which the nozzle head can be easily installed and removed. When dismantling, calcifications in the interior can be easily separated.

Die besagte Nut- und Kamm-Verbindung stellt nicht nur das Sicherungselement sondern zugleich auch das Ausrichtelement bereit. Hierzu weist die besagte Nut- und Kamm-Verbindung in der Nut vorzugsweise eine definierte Anschlagsfläche auf, an welche der Kamm in der finalen Einbaulage anschlägt.The said tongue and groove connection provides not only the securing element but also the alignment element at the same time. For this purpose, the said groove and comb connection in the groove preferably has a defined stop surface against which the comb abuts in the final installation position.

Vorzugsweise umfasst die Sprühdüse nach der ersten Ausführungsform weiter eine Abdeckung. Die Abdeckung steht mit dem Düsenkopf und/oder dem Leitungsstück in Verbindung, wobei die Abdeckung im verbundenen Zustand im Bereich des Düsenausgangs einen Zwischenraum freihält, durch welchen das Wasser vom Düsenausgang dem Sanitärartikel zuführbar ist. Die Verbindung zwischen Abdeckung und Düsenkopf bzw. Leitungsstück ist vorzugsweise als Rastverbindung ausgebildet, wobei die Abdeckung und das Gegenstück, also der Düsenkopf und/oder das Leitungsstück über korrespondierende Rastelemente verfügen.Preferably, the spray nozzle according to the first embodiment further comprises a cover. The cover is connected to the nozzle head and / or the line piece, the cover in the connected state in the area of the nozzle outlet keeping a space through which the water can be supplied to the sanitary article from the nozzle outlet. The connection between the cover and the nozzle head or line piece is preferably designed as a latching connection, the cover and the counterpart, that is to say the nozzle head and / or the line piece, having corresponding latching elements.

In einer zweiten bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Sicherungselement eine Abdeckung, welche mit dem Leitungsstück verbindbar ist und derart über den Ausgang des Leitungsstückes ragt, dass dem Düsenkopf bezüglich einer Bewegung aus dem Innenraum heraus durch die Abdeckung ein Anschlag entgegengestellt wird. In der zweiten Ausführungsform liegt das Sicherungselement ausserhalb des Innenraums.In a second preferred embodiment, the securing element is a cover which can be connected to the line piece and projects beyond the outlet of the line piece in such a way that a stop is opposed to the nozzle head with respect to a movement out of the interior through the cover. In the second Embodiment, the securing element is outside the interior.

Vorzugsweise ist bei der zweiten Ausführungsform zwischen dem Eingang des Leitungsstückes und dem Düsenkopf ein Federelement angeordnet, welches den Düsenkopf in Richtung der Abdeckung drückt, derart, dass die Lage des Düsenkopfes innerhalb des Leitungsstückes entlang der Mittelachse gesehen bestimmt ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Düsenkopf bezüglich der Lage in Richtung der Mittelachse gesehen immer gleich im Innenraum platziert werden kann. Aber auch bei der ersten Ausführungsform kann ein Federelement vorgesehen sein.In the second embodiment, a spring element is preferably arranged between the inlet of the line piece and the nozzle head, which presses the nozzle head in the direction of the cover, in such a way that the position of the nozzle head within the line piece is determined as seen along the central axis. This has the advantage that the nozzle head can always be placed directly in the interior with regard to the position in the direction of the central axis. However, a spring element can also be provided in the first embodiment.

Das Federelement liegt vorzugsweise im Innenraum.The spring element is preferably in the interior.

Vorzugsweise ist das besagte Federelement eine Druckfeder. Besonders bevorzugt steht die Feder mit Führungsteilen in Verbindung. Die Druckfeder mit den Führungsteilen umfasst ein vorderes Ende und ein hinteres Ende sowie ein mit dem vorderen Ende in Verbindung stehendes Führungsteil und ein mit dem hinteren Ende in Verbindung stehendes Führungsteil.Said spring element is preferably a compression spring. The spring is particularly preferably connected to guide parts. The compression spring with the guide parts includes a front end and a rear end and a guide part connected to the front end and a guide part connected to the rear end.

Besonders bevorzugt weist die Abdeckung nach der zweiten Ausführungsform eine winklig zur Mittelachse geneigt ausgebildete Führungsfläche auf, welche den Düsenkopf bei der Montage der Abdeckung in den Innenraum einschiebt. Durch die Führungsfläche kann also der Düsenkopf eingeschoben werden, wodurch die Abdeckung als Montagehilfsmittel dient.Particularly preferably, the cover according to the second embodiment has a guide surface which is inclined at an angle to the central axis and which pushes the nozzle head into the interior when the cover is installed. The nozzle head can thus be inserted through the guide surface, whereby the cover serves as an assembly aid.

Vorzugsweise umfasst das Leitungsstück gemäss allen oben beschriebenen Ausführungsformen aussenseitig Orientierungselemente, welche derart ausgebildet sind, dass diese eine Ausrichtung bezüglich einer Drehung um die Mittelachse zwischen dem Leitungsstück und dem Sanitärartikel erlauben. Somit kann das Leitungsstück immer gleich und bereits korrekt ausgerichtet im Sanitärartikel platziert werden. Der Sanitärartikel weist bevorzugt mit dem Orientierungselement zusammenarbeitende Elemente, wie beispielsweise Führungselemente auf.According to all of the above-described embodiments, the line piece preferably comprises orientation elements on the outside, which are designed in such a way that they allow alignment with respect to a rotation about the central axis between the line piece and the sanitary article. This means that the pipe section can always be placed in the sanitary article in the same way and correctly aligned. The sanitary article preferably has elements that cooperate with the orientation element, such as guide elements.

Besonders bevorzugt ist im Spalt zwischen der Aussenseite des Düsenkopfs und dem Innenraum eine Dichtung angeordnet, welche den Spalt bezüglich Wasser abdichtet. Die Dichtung kann beispielsweise ein O-Ring sein, welcher in einer um den Düsenkopf umlaufenden Nut gelagert ist.Is particularly preferred in the gap between the outside of the nozzle head and the Interior arranged a seal that seals the gap with respect to water. The seal can be an O-ring, for example, which is mounted in a groove running around the nozzle head.

Der Düsenkopf ist gemäss allen Ausführungsformen in einer ersten Variante einteilig ausgebildet. In einer zweiten Variante kann der Düsenkopf mehrteilig mit einem Düsenteil mit dem Düsenausgang und einem Lagerungsteil mit dem Düseneingang ausgebildet sein, wobei sich der Düsenkanal durch das Düsenteil und das Lagerungsteil hindurch erstreckt und wobei die beiden Teile fest miteinander verbunden sind.According to all embodiments, the nozzle head is formed in one piece in a first variant. In a second variant, the nozzle head can be formed in several parts with a nozzle part with the nozzle outlet and a bearing part with the nozzle inlet, the nozzle channel extending through the nozzle part and the bearing part and the two parts being firmly connected to one another.

Vorzugsweise ist das Leitungsstück im Bereich des Eingangs mit einer Wasserleitung verbindbar. Hierzu weist das Leitungsstück geeignete Mittel auf, beispielsweise ein Aussengewinde zur Verbindung des Leitungsstücks mit der Wasserleitung über eine Überwurfmutter.The line piece can preferably be connected to a water line in the area of the entrance. For this purpose, the line section has suitable means, for example an external thread for connecting the line section to the water line via a union nut.

Vorzugsweise weist der Düsenkopf gemäss allen Ausführungsformen eine um die Mittelachse umlaufende Mantelfläche und eine Stirnfläche auf, wobei der Düseneingang gegenüber der Stirnfläche angeordnet ist und wobei der Düsenausgang die Mantelfläche im Bereich der Stirnfläche durchdringt. Der Düseneingang wird im Wesentlichen durch die Mantelfläche definiert.According to all embodiments, the nozzle head preferably has a circumferential surface that extends around the central axis and an end surface, the nozzle inlet being arranged opposite the end surface and the nozzle outlet penetrating the circumferential surface in the region of the end surface. The nozzle inlet is essentially defined by the lateral surface.

BESCHREIBUNG BEVORZUGTER AUSFÜHRUNGSFORMENDESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In den Figuren wird eine perspektivische Ansicht einer Sprühdüse 1 für einen Sanitärartikel 2, insbesondere für ein Urinal, gezeigt. In den Figuren 1 bis 9 wird eine erste Ausführungsform und in den Figuren 10 bis 18 wird eine zweite Ausführungsform gezeigt.In the figures, a perspective view of a spray nozzle 1 for a sanitary article 2, in particular for a urinal, is shown. In the Figures 1 to 9 is a first embodiment and in the Figures 10 to 18 a second embodiment is shown.

Die Sprühdüse 1 nach den Figuren 1 und 10 ist im montierten Zustand ohne den Sanitärartikel dargestellt.The spray nozzle 1 after the Figures 1 and 10th is shown in the assembled state without the sanitary article.

Die Figuren 2 und 11 zeigen Explosionsdarstellungen der Sprühdüse 1 gemäss der ersten Ausführungsform und gemäss der zweiten Ausführungsform.The Figures 2 and 11 show exploded views of the spray nozzle 1 according to the first embodiment and according to the second embodiment.

Die Sprühdüse 1 umfasst einen Düsenkopf 3, der einen sich entlang einer Mittelachse M erstreckenden Düsenkanal 4 mit einem Düseneingang 5 und einem Düsenausgang 6 aufweist, und ein Leitungsstück 7, das einen Innenraum 8 mit einem Eingang 9 an dem Wasserleitung 10 anschliessbar ist, und einem Ausgang 11 aufweist. Der Düsenkopf 3 ist im Innenraum 8 des Leitungsstücks 7 gelagert und kann über den Ausgang 11 in den Innenraum 8 eingesetzt werden. Der Düseneingang 5 ist dabei vom Innenraum 8 des Leitungsstücks 7 her zugänglich, derart dass Spülwasser aus dem Innenraum 8 in den Düsenkanal 4 des Düsenkopfs 3 eintreten kann. Der Düsenkopf 3 ist dabei so im Innenraum 8 angeordnet, dass der Düsenausgang 6 aus dem Innenraum 8, insbesondere aus dem Ausgang 11, hinaus ragt. Der Düsenausgang 6 ist also nicht im Innenraum 8, sondern liegt entsprechend frei, so dass Spülwasser aus dem Düsenausgang 6 hinaustreten kann. Der Düsenkopf 3 ist über ein Sicherungselement 12 im Innenraum 8 des Leitungsstückes 7 gesichert bzw. festgelegt.The spray nozzle 1 comprises a nozzle head 3, which has a nozzle channel 4, which extends along a central axis M, with a nozzle inlet 5 and a nozzle outlet 6, and a line piece 7, which can be connected to an interior space 8 with an inlet 9 to the water line 10, and one Output 11 has. The nozzle head 3 is mounted in the interior 8 of the line piece 7 and can be inserted into the interior 8 via the outlet 11. The nozzle inlet 5 is accessible from the interior 8 of the line section 7 such that rinsing water can enter the nozzle channel 4 of the nozzle head 3 from the interior 8. The nozzle head 3 is arranged in the interior 8 such that the nozzle outlet 6 protrudes from the interior 8, in particular from the outlet 11. The nozzle outlet 6 is therefore not in the interior 8, but is correspondingly exposed, so that rinsing water can emerge from the nozzle outlet 6. The nozzle head 3 is secured or fixed in the interior 8 of the line piece 7 via a securing element 12.

Das Sicherungselement 12 nach der ersten Ausführungsform gemäss den Figuren 1 bis 9 ist Nut- und Kamm-Verbindung 14, 15 und das Sicherungselement 12 nach der zweiten Ausführungsform gemäss den Figuren 10 bis 18 ist eine Abdeckung 17. Diese beiden Ausführungsformen werden dann untenstehend noch im Detail erläutert.The securing element 12 according to the first embodiment according to the Figures 1 to 9 is groove and comb connection 14, 15 and the securing element 12 according to the second embodiment according to the Figures 10 to 18 is a cover 17. These two embodiments are then explained in detail below.

Das Leistungsstück 7 weist hier aussenseitig im Bereich des Ausgangs 11 einen umlaufenden Flansch 34 auf. Der Flansch 34 dient als Anschlagselement beim Einbau in den Sanitärartikel 2. Desweiteren umfasst die Sprühdüse 1 hier eine Überwurfmutter 35, welche mit dem Leitungsstück 7 verbindbar ist, so dass dieses gemeinsam mit dem Flansch 34 zum Sanitärartikel 2 geklemmt werden kann. Zwischen Überwurfmutter 35 und dem Flansch 34 ist ein Zwischenraum, welcher der Aufnahme von Teilen des Sanitärartikels dient. Im montierten Zustand steht das Leitungsstück 7 mit dem Sanitärartikel in Verbindung. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ragt es durch eine Öffnung im Sanitärartikel 2 hindurch.The power unit 7 has a circumferential flange 34 on the outside in the area of the outlet 11. The flange 34 serves as a stop element when installed in the sanitary article 2. Furthermore, the spray nozzle 1 here comprises a union nut 35, which can be connected to the line piece 7, so that it can be clamped together with the flange 34 to the sanitary article 2. There is an intermediate space between the union nut 35 and the flange 34, which serves to hold parts of the sanitary article. In the assembled state, the line piece 7 is connected to the sanitary article. In the embodiment shown, it projects through an opening in the sanitary article 2.

Weiter wird in den Figuren 3 und 12 ein Teilstück der Wasserleitung 10, hier als Bogenstück, gezeigt. Die Wasserleitung 10 ragt über den Eingang 9 in den Innenraum 8 ein und wird mit einer weiteren Überwurfmutter 36 am Leitungsstück 7 befestigt. Die Gewinde für die Überwurfmutter 35, 36 sind dabei auf dem Aussenumfang des Leitungsstücks 7 angeordnet.Further in the Figures 3 and 12th a section of the water pipe 10, shown here as a bend. The water pipe 10 projects into the interior 8 via the inlet 9 and is fastened to the pipe section 7 with a further union nut 36. The threads for the union nut 35, 36 are arranged on the outer circumference of the line piece 7.

Weiter umfassen der Düsenkopf 3 und das Leitungsstück 7 in der gezeigten Ausführungsform Ausrichtelemente 13, so dass der Düsenkopf 3 in seiner Einbaulage bezüglich einer Bewegung um die Mittelachse M drehfest im Innenraum 8 des Leitungsstückes 7 gelagert ist. Somit wird sichergestellt, dass der Düsenausgang 6 immer in der korrekten Orientierung ist, so dass der Sanitärartikel bestimmungsgemäss benetzt bzw. gespült werden kann. Die korrekte Orientierung wird in der Schnittdarstellung der Figuren 3 und 13 gezeigt. Der Düsenausgang 6 ist dabei gegen das Auffangbecken 33 des Sanitärartikels 2 gerichtet. Je nach Ausführungsform können die Ausrichtelemente 13 unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein.Furthermore, the nozzle head 3 and the line piece 7 in the embodiment shown comprise alignment elements 13, so that the nozzle head 3 is mounted in its installed position with respect to a movement about the central axis M in the interior 8 of the line piece 7 in a rotationally fixed manner. This ensures that the nozzle outlet 6 is always in the correct orientation so that the sanitary article can be wetted or rinsed as intended. The correct orientation is shown in the sectional view of the Figures 3 and 13 shown. The nozzle outlet 6 is directed against the catch basin 33 of the sanitary article 2. Depending on the embodiment, the alignment elements 13 can be designed differently.

Das Sicherungselement 12 nach der ersten Ausführungsform der Sprühdüse 1 gemäss den Figuren 1 bis 9 hat die Form einer Nut- und Kamm- Verbindung 14, 15 zwischen dem Düsenkopf 3 und dem Innenraum 8. Diese Verbindung kann besonders gut im Zusammenhang der Figuren 2 und 3 erkannt werden. In der Figur 2 wird aussenseitig am Düsenkopf 3 die Nut 14 dargestellt. Der Kamm 15 kann in der Figur 3 gut erkannt werden. Der Kamm 15 ragt dabei in den Innenraum 8 des Leitungsstücks 7 ein. Über die Nut- und Kammverbindung 14, 15 wird ein Anschlag für den Düsenkopf 3 im Innenraum 8 gegen eine Bewegung in Richtung der Mittelachse M bereitgestellt.The securing element 12 according to the first embodiment of the spray nozzle 1 according to the Figures 1 to 9 has the shape of a groove and comb connection 14, 15 between the nozzle head 3 and the interior 8. This connection can be particularly well in connection with the Figures 2 and 3rd be recognized. In the Figure 2 the groove 14 is shown on the outside of the nozzle head 3. The comb 15 can in the Figure 3 be recognized well. The comb 15 protrudes into the interior 8 of the line piece 7. A stop for the nozzle head 3 in the interior 8 against movement in the direction of the central axis M is provided via the groove and comb connection 14, 15.

Die Nut- und Kamm-Verbindung 14, 15 ist vorzugsweise derart ausgebildet, dass diese einen Teilabschnitt 16 aufweist, welcher bezüglich der Mittelachse M mindestens teilweise umlaufend und entlang der Mittelachse M in eine Längsrichtung verlaufend ausgebildet ist. Die Ausbildung der Nut- und Kamm-Verbindung 14, 15 ist demnach derart, dass eine Drehung des Düsenkopfes 3 im feststehenden Innenraum 8 in einer Axialverschiebung A entlang der Mittelachse M resultiert.The groove and comb connection 14, 15 is preferably designed such that it has a partial section 16 which is at least partially circumferential with respect to the central axis M and extends in a longitudinal direction along the central axis M. The formation of the groove and comb connection 14, 15 is accordingly such that a rotation of the nozzle head 3 in the fixed interior 8 results in an axial displacement A along the central axis M.

Diese Funktion der Nut- und Kamm-Verbindung 14, 15 wird nun anhand der Figuren 4a bis 9 genauer erläutert. In der Figur 4a und der dazugehörigen Schnittdarstellung 4b befindet sich der Düsenkopf 3 in seiner montierten Lage im Innenraum 8. In den Figuren 5a und 5b wird eine Abdeckung 17, welche den Düsenkopf 3 frontseitig abdeckt, entfernt und der Düsenkopf 3 wird für den Installateur zugänglich. Die Zugänglichkeit wird in der Figur 6 genauer gezeigt. Ausgehend von der Figur 6 kann der Installateur den Düsenkopf 3 aus seiner Ausgangslage um die Mittelachse M verschwenken. In der Figur 7 wird der Düsenkopf 3 in einer Verschwenklage gezeigt. Man kann erkennen, dass der Düsenkopf 3 leicht aus dem Innenraum 8 hinaus bewegt wurde und dass der Kamm 15 nicht mehr im vollständigen Eingriff mit der Nut 14 ist. Bei weiterer Verschwenkung um die Mittelachse M und ggf. nachträglicher Verschiebung entlang der Mittelachse M wird der Düsenkopf 3 schliesslich aus dem Innenraum 8 entfernt, sowie dies in den Figuren 8 und 9 dargestellt ist. Somit kann ein montierter Düsenkopf 3 sehr einfach aus dem Innenraum 8 des Leitungsstückes 7 entfernt werden.This function of the groove and comb connection 14, 15 is now based on the Figures 4a to 9 explained in more detail. In the Figure 4a and the associated sectional view 4b, the nozzle head 3 is in its assembled position in the interior 8. In the Figures 5a and 5b a cover 17, which covers the nozzle head 3 on the front, is removed and the nozzle head 3 is accessible to the installer. The accessibility is in the Figure 6 shown in more detail. Starting from the Figure 6 the installer can pivot the nozzle head 3 from its initial position about the central axis M. In the Figure 7 the nozzle head 3 is shown in a pivoted position. It can be seen that the nozzle head 3 has been moved slightly out of the interior 8 and that the comb 15 is no longer fully engaged with the groove 14. With further pivoting about the central axis M and possibly subsequent displacement along the central axis M, the nozzle head 3 is finally removed from the interior 8, as well as in FIG Figures 8 and 9 is shown. Thus, an assembled nozzle head 3 can be removed very easily from the interior 8 of the line piece 7.

Die Montage des Düsenkopfes 3 in den Innenraum 8 des Leitungsstückes 7 erfolgt in umgekehrter Richtung. Dabei setzt der Installateur den Düsenkopf 3, so wie in den Figuren 9 und 8 gezeigt, in den Innenraum 8 ein. Sobald die Nut 14 mit dem Kamm 15 eine Verbindung eingeht kann der Düsenkopf 3 um seine Mittelachse M verschwenkt werden, so wie in der Figur 7 gezeigt wird. Hierdurch wird dann der Düsenkopf 3 in seine Endlage bewegt, was in der Figur 6 gezeigt wird. Anschliessend wird dann, so wie in den Figuren 5a und 5b gezeigt, noch die Abdeckung 17 montiert, sodass der Düsenkopf 3 von vorne nicht sichtbar ist.The assembly of the nozzle head 3 in the interior 8 of the line piece 7 takes place in the opposite direction. The installer sets the nozzle head 3, as in the Figures 9 and 8 shown in the interior 8. As soon as the groove 14 enters into a connection with the comb 15, the nozzle head 3 can be pivoted about its central axis M, as in FIG Figure 7 will be shown. As a result, the nozzle head 3 is then moved into its end position, which in the Figure 6 will be shown. Then, as in the Figures 5a and 5b shown, the cover 17 still mounted so that the nozzle head 3 is not visible from the front.

Der Düsenkopf 3 kann stirnseitig mit einem optionalen Schlitz 44 versehen sein, so dass bei einer starken Verkalkung zwischen dem Düsenkopf 3 und dem Innenraum 8 der Düsenkopf 3 mit einem Schraubendreher verschwenkbar ist.The nozzle head 3 can be provided on the end face with an optional slot 44, so that in the event of severe calcification between the nozzle head 3 and the interior 8 of the Nozzle head 3 can be pivoted with a screwdriver.

Die Nut- und Kammverbindung 14, 15 stellt in der in den Figuren gezeigten Ausführungsform auch das Ausrichtelement 13 bereit. Hierfür weist die Nut- und Kammverbindung 14, 15 einen Endanschlag auf, wobei der Kamm an einem Nutende ansteht und eine weitere Verdrehung nicht möglich ist.The tongue and groove connection 14, 15 also provides the alignment element 13 in the embodiment shown in the figures. For this purpose, the groove and ridge connection 14, 15 has an end stop, the ridge abutting one end of the groove and further rotation is not possible.

Die Nut- und Kammverbindung 14, 15 kann aber auch derart ausgebildet sein, dass bei einer Drehung des Düsenkopfes 3 um die Mittelachse M keine Bewegung in Richtung der Mittelachse M erfolgt. Der Düsenkopf 3 ist dann als Bajonettverschluss ausgebildet.However, the groove and comb connection 14, 15 can also be designed such that when the nozzle head 3 is rotated about the central axis M, there is no movement in the direction of the central axis M. The nozzle head 3 is then designed as a bayonet catch.

Die besagte Abdeckung 17 steht mit dem Leitungsstück 7 in Verbindung. Hierfür weist das Leitungsstück 7 im Bereich des Flansches 35 ein Rastelement 37 auf, an welches die Abdeckung 17 aufgerastet werden kann. Alternativ kann die Abdeckung auch an dem Düsenkopf 3 befestigt werden, wobei zwischen dem Düsenkopf 3 und der Abdeckung 17 ebenfalls eine Rastverbindung vorgesehen ist.Said cover 17 is connected to the line piece 7. For this purpose, the line piece 7 in the region of the flange 35 has a latching element 37 to which the cover 17 can be snapped on. Alternatively, the cover can also be attached to the nozzle head 3, a latching connection also being provided between the nozzle head 3 and the cover 17.

Die Abdeckung 17 ist dabei, so wie in der Figur 3 gezeigt, derart angeordnet, dass diese im verbunden Zustand im Bereich des Düsenausgangs 6 einen Zwischenraum 18 freihält, durch welchen das Wasser vom Düsenausgang 6 dem Sanitärartikel zuführbar ist. Der Zwischenraum 18 wird hier durch die Abdeckung 17 und durch das Auffangbecken 33 des Sanitärartikels 2 bereitgestellt. Die Abdeckung 17 weist für die Bereitstellung des Zwischenraums 18 an ihrem Umfangsrand eine Ausnehmung 38 auf.The cover 17 is there, as in the Figure 3 shown, arranged in such a way that in the connected state in the area of the nozzle outlet 6 there is a space 18 through which the water from the nozzle outlet 6 can be fed to the sanitary article. The space 18 is provided here by the cover 17 and by the catch basin 33 of the sanitary article 2. The cover 17 has a recess 38 on its peripheral edge for the provision of the intermediate space 18.

Die Figuren 10 bis 12 zeigen, wie oben erläutert, die zweite Ausführungsform der Sprühdüse 1. Die Sprühdüse 1 nach der zweiten Ausführungsform umfasst im Wesentlichen die gleichen Elemente wie die Sprühdüse 1 nach der ersten Ausführungsform, wobei im Wesentlichen das Sicherungselement 12 anders ausgebildet ist. Das Sicherungselement 12 der Sprühdüse 1 gemäss der zweiten Ausführungsform ist eine Abdeckung 17. Das heisst, die Abdeckung 17 stellt das Sicherungselement für den Düsenkopf 3 bereit, so dass dieser nicht aus dem Innenraum 8 herausfallen kann. Die Abdeckung 17 ist über eine Rastverbindung 37 mit dem Leitungsstück 7 verbindbar, derart, dass die Abdeckung 17 über den Ausgang 11 des Leitungsstückes 7 ragt. Hierdurch wird dem Düsenkopf 3 durch die Abdeckung 17 bezüglich einer Bewegung aus dem Innenraum 8 heraus einen Anschlag entgegengestellt. Die Wirkung der Abdeckung 17 als Anschlag kann in der Figur 12 gut erkannt werden. In der Figur 12 wird gezeigt, dass der Düsenkopf 3 mit seiner Stirnfläche 32 an der Innenseite 40 bei Abdeckung 17 ansteht. Die Innenseite 40 und die Stirnfläche 32 stellen also den eigentlichen Anschlag bereit.The Figures 10 to 12 show, as explained above, the second embodiment of the spray nozzle 1. The spray nozzle 1 according to the second embodiment essentially comprises the same elements as the spray nozzle 1 according to the first embodiment, the securing element 12 essentially being of a different design. The securing element 12 of the spray nozzle 1 according to the second embodiment is a cover 17. That is, the cover 17 provides the securing element for the nozzle head 3, so that it cannot fall out of the interior 8. The cover 17 can be connected to the line piece 7 via a latching connection 37 in such a way that the cover 17 projects beyond the outlet 11 of the line piece 7. Hereby the nozzle head 3 is countered by the cover 17 with respect to a movement out of the interior 8 against a stop. The effect of the cover 17 as a stop can in the Figure 12 be recognized well. In the Figure 12 it is shown that the nozzle head 3 is in contact with its face 32 on the inside 40 at cover 17. The inside 40 and the end face 32 thus provide the actual stop.

Zwischen dem Eingang des Leitungsstückes 7 und dem Düsenkopf 3 ist gemäss der zweiten Ausführungsform ein Federelement 19 angeordnet. Das Federelement 19 drückt den Düsenkopf 3 in Richtung der Abdeckung 17, sodass die Lage des Düsenkopfs 3 innerhalb des Leitungsstückes 7 entlang der Mittelachse M gesehen, definiert ist. Das Federelement 19 ist hier eine Druckfeder 20, welche auf den hinteren Rand 41 des Düsenkopfs 3 drückt und an der Wasserleitung 10 ansteht. Anstelle der Wasserleitung 10 könnte das Federelement auch an einer Erhebung, welche sich in den Innenraum 8 hineinerstreckt, anstehen. Das Federelement umfasst, wie bereits erwähnt, eine Druckfeder 20, die ein vorderes Ende 21 und ein hinteres Ende 22 aufweist. Weiter umfasst das Federelement 19 hier ein Führungsteil 23, das mit dem vorderen Ende 21 in Verbindung steht und ein mit dem hinteren Ende 22 in Verbindung stehendes Führungsteil 24. Die Führungsteile sorgen für eine gute Führung und begrenzen den Federweg der Feder 20 innerhalb des Innenraums 8. Die Feder 20 ist im Innenraum 8 derart angeordnet, dass sie vom Spülwasser entsprechend durchströmt beziehungsweise umströmt wird. In der Figur 17 wird gezeigt, dass das Führungsteil 24 an einer Innenfläche 42 des Innenraums anstehen kann und somit verhindert wird, dass das Federelement bei einem Austausch des Düsenkopfes 3 aus dem Innenraum entfernt wird.According to the second embodiment, a spring element 19 is arranged between the inlet of the line piece 7 and the nozzle head 3. The spring element 19 presses the nozzle head 3 in the direction of the cover 17, so that the position of the nozzle head 3 within the line piece 7 seen along the central axis M is defined. The spring element 19 is here a compression spring 20, which presses on the rear edge 41 of the nozzle head 3 and is applied to the water line 10. Instead of the water pipe 10, the spring element could also be in contact with an elevation which extends into the interior 8. As already mentioned, the spring element comprises a compression spring 20 which has a front end 21 and a rear end 22. Furthermore, the spring element 19 here comprises a guide part 23 which is connected to the front end 21 and a guide part 24 connected to the rear end 22. The guide parts ensure good guidance and limit the spring travel of the spring 20 within the interior 8 The spring 20 is arranged in the interior 8 such that the rinsing water flows through or flows around it accordingly. In the Figure 17 it is shown that the guide part 24 can rest against an inner surface 42 of the interior and thus prevent the spring element from being removed from the interior when the nozzle head 3 is replaced.

Die Abdeckung 17 weist, so wie dies in der Figur 12 gezeigt wird, eine Innenseite 40 auf. Die Innenseite 40 dient nicht nur als Anschlagsfläche, sondern kann auch die Funktion einer Führungsfläche haben. Die Führungsfläche ist abschnittsweise winklig geneigt zur Mittelachse M ausgebildet und sorgt dafür, dass der Düsenkopf 3 entgegen der Federkraft der Druckfeder 20 in den Innenraum 8 eingeschoben wird, wenn die Abdeckung 17 entlang einer Richtung winklig geneigt zur Mittelachse M montiert wird. Insofern hilft die Führungsfläche bei der Montage. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel liegt die Führungsfläche 40 bezüglich der Ausnehmung 43 so, dass die Stirnfläche 32 bei der Montage zuerst mit der Führungsfläche 40 in Kontakt und erst anschliessend in die Ausnehmung 43 zu liegen kommt.The cover 17 has, as in the Figure 12 an inner side 40 is shown. The inside 40 not only serves as a stop surface, but can also act as a guide surface. The guide surface is formed in sections at an angle to the central axis M and ensures that the nozzle head 3 is pushed into the interior 8 against the spring force of the compression spring 20 when the cover 17 is mounted at an angle to the central axis M along a direction. In this respect, the guide surface helps with the assembly. In the present exemplary embodiment, the guide surface 40 lies with respect to the recess 43 in such a way that the end surface 32 first comes into contact with the guide surface 40 during assembly and only then into the Recess 43 comes to rest.

In den Figuren 13 bis 18 wird nun die Demontage des Düsenkopfs 3 nach der zweiten Ausführungsform gezeigt. In einem ersten Schritt wird wie in den Figuren 13a bis 14b gezeigt die Abdeckung 17 in der Gestalt des Sicherungselementes 12 vom Leitungsstück 7 getrennt. Hierbei wird die Rastverbindung zwischen der Abdeckung 17 und dem Leitungsstück 17 entsprechend aufgehoben. Diese aufgehobene Rastverbindung wird in der Figur 15 dargestellt. Sobald die Rastverbindung vollständig aufgehoben wird, drückt die Federkraft des Federelementes 19 den Düsenkopf 3 aus dem Innenraum 8 in Richtung dessen Ausgang 11. Somit kann der Sanitärinstallateur den Düsenkopf 3 ergreifen und vollständig aus dem Innenraum 8 entfernen.In the Figures 13 to 18 the disassembly of the nozzle head 3 according to the second embodiment is now shown. In a first step, as in the Figures 13a to 14b shown the cover 17 in the form of the securing element 12 separated from the line piece 7. Here, the latching connection between the cover 17 and the line piece 17 is canceled accordingly. This canceled connection is in the Figure 15 shown. As soon as the latching connection is completely released, the spring force of the spring element 19 pushes the nozzle head 3 out of the interior 8 in the direction of its exit 11. The sanitary installer can thus grip the nozzle head 3 and remove it completely from the interior 8.

Das Ausrichtelement 13 nach der zweiten Ausführungsform wird durch eine Nute im Innenraum 8 und durch einen Kamm auf der Mantelfläche 31 des Düsenkopfs bereitgestellt. Die Nute und der Kamm sind parallel zur Mittelachse M orientiert.The alignment element 13 according to the second embodiment is provided by a groove in the interior 8 and by a comb on the lateral surface 31 of the nozzle head. The groove and the comb are oriented parallel to the central axis M.

Die Montage des Düsenkopfes 3 gemäss der zweiten Ausführungsform folgt in der umgekehrten Reihenfolge wie die eben beschriebene Demontage. In der Figur 18 wird das Einsetzen des Düsenkopfes 3 gezeigt. Anschliessend wird der Düsenkopf 3 gemäss den Figuren 17 bis 15 weiter in den Innenraum 8 eingeschoben. Hierzu kann die Abdeckung 17 zur Hilfe genommen werden. Die Abdeckung 17 wird dann, wie in den Figuren 15 bis 13 gezeigt relativ zum Leitungsstück 7 verschoben, bis die Abdeckung 17 eine Rastverbindung mit dem Leitungsstück 7 eingeht.The assembly of the nozzle head 3 according to the second embodiment follows in the reverse order of the disassembly just described. In the Figure 18 the insertion of the nozzle head 3 is shown. Then the nozzle head 3 according to the Figures 17 to 15 inserted further into the interior 8. The cover 17 can be used for this purpose. The cover 17 is then, as in the Figures 15 to 13 shown shifted relative to the line piece 7 until the cover 17 enters into a latching connection with the line piece 7.

Von der Figur 17 kann weiter erkannt werden, dass die Führungsfläche nebst der winkligen Neigung noch eine Ausnehmung 43 umfasst, in welche die Stirnfläche 32 des Düsenkopfs 3 entsprechend passend einragen kann.Of the Figure 17 It can further be seen that the guide surface, in addition to the angular inclination, also has a recess 43 into which the end surface 32 of the nozzle head 3 can protrude appropriately.

In der Folge werden nun einige weitere Merkmale der Sprühdüse 1 gemäss den beiden beschriebenen Ausführungsformen erläutert.Some further features of the spray nozzle 1 according to the two described embodiments will now be explained below.

Das Leitungsstück 7 umfasst, wie dies in der Figur 2 gezeigt wird, vorzugsweise in beiden Ausführungsformen, aussenseitig Orientierungselemente 25. Über diese Orientierungselemente 25 kann das Leitungsstück 7 als solches relativ zum Sanitärartikel 2 ausgerichtet werden. Die Orientierungselemente 25 sind bevorzugt Nuten, welche sich in Richtung der Mittelachse M erstrecken. Der Sanitärartikel 2 weist entsprechende Gegenelemente auf, welche in die Nuten eingreifen. Die Orientierungselemente 25 können aber auch anderwärtig ausgebildet sein.The line piece 7 comprises, as in the Figure 2 is shown, preferably in both embodiments, outside orientation elements 25. About these Orientation elements 25, the line piece 7 as such can be aligned relative to the sanitary article 2. The orientation elements 25 are preferably grooves which extend in the direction of the central axis M. The sanitary article 2 has corresponding counter elements which engage in the grooves. The orientation elements 25 can also be designed elsewhere.

Von den Schnittdarstellungen der Figuren 3 und 12 kann gut erkannt werden, dass im Spalt 26 zwischen der Aussenseite 27 des Düsenkopfs 3 und dem Innenraum 8 eine Dichtung 28 angeordnet ist, welche den Spalt 26 bezüglich Wasser abdichtet. Die Dichtung 28 ist vorzugsweise ein Ohrring und verhindert, das Wasser durch den Spalt zwischen der Aussenseite 27 des Düsenkopfs 3 und dem Innenraum 8 austreten kann.From the sectional views of the Figures 3 and 12th can be clearly seen that a seal 28 is arranged in the gap 26 between the outside 27 of the nozzle head 3 and the interior 8, which seals the gap 26 with respect to water. The seal 28 is preferably an earring and prevents water from escaping through the gap between the outside 27 of the nozzle head 3 and the interior 8.

Anhand der Figuren 3 und 12 wird weiter der Pfad des Wassers noch genauer erläutert. Das Wasser tritt über die Wasserleitung 10 in den Innenraum 8 des Leitungsstücks 7 ein. Vom Innenraum 8 tritt das Wasser dann über den Düseneingang 5 in den Düsenkanal 4 des Düsenkopfs 3 ein und fliesst dann entlang des Düsenkanals 4 bis zum Düsenausgang 6, von wo es dann den Düsenkopf 3 und somit auch die Sprühdüse 1 in Richtung des Sanitärartikels 2 verlässt.Based on Figures 3 and 12th the path of the water is further explained in more detail. The water enters the interior 8 of the pipe section 7 via the water pipe 10. From the interior 8, the water then enters the nozzle channel 4 of the nozzle head 3 via the nozzle inlet 5 and then flows along the nozzle channel 4 to the nozzle outlet 6, from where it then leaves the nozzle head 3 and thus also the spray nozzle 1 in the direction of the sanitary article 2 .

Der Düsenkopf 8 ist, wie in den Figuren 3 und 12 gezeigt, in diesen Ausführungsformen mehrteilig mit einem Düsenteil 29 mit dem Düsenausgang 6 und einem Lagerungsteil 30 mit dem Düseneingang 5 ausgebildet. Düsenteil 29 und Lagerungsteil 30 sind dabei fest miteinander verbunden. Der Düsenkanal 6 erstreckt sich durch das Düsenteil 29 und das Lagerungsteil 30 hindurch. Zwischen den beiden Teilen 29, 30 ist hier ebenfalls eine Dichtung 39 angeordnet. In einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann der Düsenkopf 8 auch einteilig ausgebildet sein.The nozzle head 8 is, as in the Figures 3 and 12th shown, in these embodiments in several parts with a nozzle part 29 with the nozzle outlet 6 and a bearing part 30 with the nozzle inlet 5. Nozzle part 29 and bearing part 30 are firmly connected to one another. The nozzle channel 6 extends through the nozzle part 29 and the bearing part 30. A seal 39 is also arranged here between the two parts 29, 30. In an alternative embodiment, the nozzle head 8 can also be formed in one piece.

Bezüglich seiner Form weist der Düsenkopf 3, unabhängig davon, ob dieser einteilig oder mehrteilig ausgebildet ist, eine in die Mittelachse M umlaufende Mantelfläche 31 und eine Stirnfläche 32 auf. Die Mantelfläche 31 und die Stirnfläche 32 begrenzen dabei den Düsenkanal 4. Der Düseneingang 5 ist dabei gegenüber der Stirnfläche 32 angeordnet und der Düsenausgang 6 ist im Bereich der Stirnfläche 32 angeordnet. Der Düsenausgang 6 durchdringt nahe der Stirnfläche 32 die Mantelfläche 31.Regarding its shape, the nozzle head 3, regardless of whether it is made in one piece or in several parts, has a circumferential surface 31 encircling the central axis M and an end face 32. The lateral surface 31 and the end surface 32 thereby delimit the nozzle channel 4. The nozzle inlet 5 is arranged opposite the end surface 32 and the nozzle outlet 6 is arranged in the region of the end surface 32. The nozzle outlet 6 penetrates the lateral surface 31 near the end face 32.

Der Düsenausgang 6 erstreckt sich, wie in den Figuren 3 und 12 gezeigt nicht vollständig um die Mittelachse M herum, sondern nur teilweise. Besonders bevorzugt weist der Düsenausgang 6 einen Öffnungswinkel 6 von maximal 180°, insbesondere von maximal 160°, auf. Mit anderen Worten heisst dies, dass der Düsenausgang 6 nicht vollständig um die Mittelachse M umlaufend ist, sondern nur teilumlaufend ist.The nozzle outlet 6 extends, as in the Figures 3 and 12th not shown completely around the central axis M, but only partially. The nozzle outlet 6 particularly preferably has an opening angle 6 of at most 180 °, in particular of at most 160 °. In other words, this means that the nozzle outlet 6 is not completely rotating around the central axis M, but is only partially rotating.

Der Düsenkörper 3 wir bezüglich der Sanitärarmatur derart angeordnet, dass der Düsenausgang 6 nach unten, also in das Auffangbecken 33 orientiert ist.The nozzle body 3 is arranged with respect to the sanitary fitting in such a way that the nozzle outlet 6 is oriented downwards, ie into the collecting basin 33.

Der Querschnitt des Düsenausgangs 6 kann über den Umfang variabel oder konstant sein. Von der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist der Querschnitt im Bereich der Mitte des Düsenausgangs 6 minimal und wird dann gegen die Enden des Düsenausgangs 6 grösser.
