Definitions

  • the present invention basically relates to water outlet fittings and fittings for the sanitary area.
  • the present invention relates to a reversibly deformable outlet for tap water according to the preamble of claim 1 and a fitting.
  • a faucet As they are known from scullery in the catering trade.
  • a hose is guided through an exposed coil spring and has a flushing nozzle at one end.
  • the hose protrudes far from the spring. Outside the spring, the hose is easily deformable, which enables effortless, comfortable operation.
  • the spring guides the hose outlet to an upper position from which the hose hangs down.
  • the valve of this fitting is arranged on the outlet side of the hose in order to enable activation if necessary.
  • An arrangement on the wall-side or line network-side end or hose inlet would, however, lead to the hose protruding from the spring moving uncontrollably due to the recoil of the escaping water. Therefore, this fitting can only be used in the configuration disclosed there with an end-side or hose outlet-side valve.
  • the US 2013/0019974 relates to a water outlet fitting, in particular for use in pre-washing in commercial kitchens.
  • a hose is passed through an exposed coil spring and has a flushing nozzle at one end. The hose protrudes far from the spring.
  • the US 6,568,610 B1 relates to a flushing gun for a garden hose.
  • the spray gun has a flexible hose with a corrugated surface.
  • the DE 918080 relates to a hose shower, in particular for hairdressing washbasins, the hose of which is guided in a loop through a connection arranged below the washstand through an opening in the washstand plate, so that the spring is tensioned when the hose is pulled out. This tension causes the hose to pull back when it is released.
  • a water outlet fitting known.
  • This is a flushing shower, in which a hose is arranged within a spring, which, starting from a connection, initially has a straight spring axis, then into a section with a curved spring axis passes over, in order to then be guided to the valve again with a straight spring axis.
  • the spring is formed at the intervals with the straight spring axis as a tension spring, in which the windings abut one another, whereas in the section with the curved spring axis the windings abut one another on the inside, but are spaced apart from one another on the outside. This is intended to achieve a stable rest position.
  • Such a construction is easier to deform in the section with the curved spring axis than in the straight sections, which leads to an increased initial resistance to movement if a deformation beyond the section with the curved spring axis also takes place in the straight sections.
  • the restoring force in the region of the curved section is direction-dependent and, depending on the direction of deformation, also requires an initial force threshold to be overcome. The behavior arises in The result is somewhat stubborn and not very comfortable.
  • the material used is relatively large due to the spring coils resting against each other.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a resource-saving and convenient to use water outlet and a fitting with the appropriate properties.
  • the reversibly deformable outlet for tap water has a connecting device for mechanical fastening and establishing a fluidic connection to a water supply network.
  • the outlet has a dispensing device for dispensing the tap water, in particular having or formed by a shower, a aerator or another opening.
  • the outlet has a flexible inner hose, which establishes a fluidic connection between the connecting device and the dispensing device, so that tap water conducted into the connecting device reaches the dispensing device through the inner hose and is dispensed there.

  • the coil spring is preferably surrounded on the outside by a jacket which prevents direct contact with the coil spring.
  • the helical spring is, in particular at least in the first section, (partially) designed as a (pure) compression spring. This enables comfortable and fatigue-free operation.
  • the reversibly deformable spout makes it possible by means of the spring that the spout can be deformed in order to reach different positions and dispensing directions of the water jet that can be dispensed through the spout.
  • the outlet is designed by means of the helical spring in such a way that it automatically returns to an original shape or rest position if no forces deform the outlet from outside.
  • the spout is preferably deformed manually.
  • the force to be used for the deformation increases at least essentially continuously or is related to the deformation. This is preferably achieved in any case in the first section by the spring turns spaced apart from one another.
  • the proposed outlet has the advantage that a deformation in different directions requires approximately similarly large forces due to the turns not resting against one another. As a result, it can be achieved through the proposed outlet that a counterforce generated by deformation through the outlet is at least essentially independent of the direction of deformation and / or at least essentially continuous or free of thresholds or hard transitions.
  • the second section which connects the connecting device to the first section, has one or the coil spring with at least a substantially straight spring axis. This allows sufficient space to be created when installed on a horizontal surface such as a sink.
  • the outlet has a third section connecting the first section to the dispensing device, in which a section or the coil spring likewise has an at least substantially straight spring axis.
  • this section is optional and can make it easier to connect or move a shower head.

  • a further advantage of the spring coils spaced apart from one another is the construction which is gentle on the material compared to known constructions, in particular since, due to the spacing, less material is required to produce the spring compared to the use of tension springs or blocked springs.
