  • the elastic throttle body 50, 51 is pressed into the control profiles and the control gap is narrowed in such a way that the volume of water flowing through per unit of time can be regulated to a specified maximum value independent of pressure.
  • the flow rate regulator 49 provided in the adapter 44 has a control core 53 which is guided displaceably in the longitudinal or flow direction. Under the pressure of the inflowing water, this control core 53 is counteracted by the restoring force of a rubber or spring-elastic restoring element, which is designed here as a compression spring 54, from which in the Figures 53 and 54 ready position shown in the Figures 55 and 56 Shown control position moved.
  • a rubber or spring-elastic restoring element which is designed here as a compression spring 54, from which in the Figures 53 and 54 ready position shown in the Figures 55 and 56 Shown control position moved.
  • the control core 53 of the flow rate regulator 49 Since the control core 53 of the flow rate regulator 49 is still in its standby position at low water pressures is located, in which a comparatively large annular gap still remains between the elastic throttle body 51 and the regulating core 53, larger dirt particles can also pass through the flow rate regulator 49 in this position, which are then discharged from the jet regulator housing in the open position of the wall 3 of the jet regulator 106 can.
  • the in Figure 57 In contrast, the embodiment shown, the flow rate regulator 49 located in the adapter 44 is designed as a low-pressure flow rate regulator, as already described in the German patent application 10 2006 057 787.6 and the parallel European patent application 07 846 729.7 was previously described.
  • This low-pressure flow regulator is characterized by a comparatively large regulating gap, which also allows larger dirt particles to pass through to the jet regulator 107. Such larger dirt particles can then be easily removed from the jet regulator housing 7 in the open position of the wall 3 of the jet regulator 107.
  • At least one Alignment projection 55 protrudes, which in the position of use of the wall 3 rests on the outlet-side front peripheral edge of the jet regulator housing.
  • at least one alignment projection 55 is preferably provided on both sides of the handle 10, which alignment projections 55 hold the wall 3 in a plane arranged approximately at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the jet regulator.
