Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a storage device and system for an extractable hose, in particular for a hose being used in an air vehicle.
- the invention is further directed to a method for designing and manufacturing of a storage device as well as to a hose storage assembly.
- Hand-held extendable water faucets and hand-held shower heads are used among others in the sanitary area for e.g. sinks, showers, bidets and water-closets. In most applications, they comprise an extendable spout with a handpiece - such as a shower head or bidet spray - that is placed in a holder while not being used and is removed from there while pulling a water hose connected to the handpiece for a more comfortable utilization in a certain distance from the holder. In order to allow such manipulation of the hose, several approaches are known for domestic use.
- US7162782 was published on 1 6.01 .2007 on behalf of the Masco of Indiana Corp. and discloses a pull-back mechanism of a hand sprayer unit using a coil which is received over the water tube.
- the retraction coil is compressed, after the user releases hand sprayer the retraction coil than expands and retracts the hand sprayer to its original position.
- the structure of the hose leads to a large tube diameter and hence a space consuming design.
- the hose can be tangled in the installation/storage space with other items and as a result block the mechanism and induce strong bending. Consequently, the hose may be damaged causing leakage of the liquid in the hose.
- W015177664A1 was published on 26.1 1 .201 5 on behalf of Paolo de Nora and discloses an extensible hose, comprising an inner tubular element for being passed through by a fluid and suitable for lengthening and widening under the action of the pressure of the fluid.
- the extensible hose also comprises at least one extensible outer tubular element overlying the inner tubular element and comprising at least one surface portion made from a second material resistant to external stresses.
- One purpose of this invention is to provide an extensible hose characterised by elastic properties, and thus elongation. Even though such a hose is extensible, no solution is given to prevent extreme bending of the hose that may cause damage of the hose. Such bending may e.g. occur if the nose has to be stored in a specified limited space when not being used.
- W01 5104067A1 which was published on 1 6.07.201 5 on behalf of DShne GmbH relates to a hose with a flexible outer sheath that allows elongation or bending of the hose up to certain degree which can be realized by some kind of accordion hose structure.
- An elastic band is placed in the inner part of the hose, which provides a restoring force, to bring back the hose in the original position after being pulled out.
- Such a system is relatively complicated and restricted to a special type of hose.
- US20041 77880 was published on 1 6.09.2004 on behalf of the Masco of Indiana Corp. and shows a faucet assembly which comprises a faucet hub, a hose and a hose retraction mechanism, whereby the faucet hub features at least one hose guide that is used to reduce the amount of wear on the hose.
- the retraction mechanism allows the hose to extend from the faucet hub. Once in the extended position, the retraction mechanism is configured to lock the hose in the extended position. Upon actuation by the user, the retraction mechanism can retract the hose back inside the faucet hub. An additional stowage bag for the hose is hanged underneath the retraction mechanism.
- the overall assembly does not provide flexibility in terms of where the assembly can be placed since it needs a lot of installation space in vertical direction underneath the faucet. Furthermore, even though the bag is adaptable in shape, the bag can still be compressed and hence disturb the hose retraction or extension process.
- Such vehicles include air vehicles (such as e.g. airplanes or helicopters), road vehicles, (such as e.g. recreational vehicles) , railway vehicles and watercraft (e.g. yachts). This in particular holds true for flush toilets and sinks where the bowl typically has a relatively large diameter and the related handpiece (hand-held device) is conventionally arranged laterally close-by due to ergonomic reasons.
- Such an arrangement typically causes a narrow free space where a hose providing the handpiece with liquid has to be arranged when stored. Inserting the hose in such a spatially limited space by means of gravity only may cause certain problems as the hose may touch obstacles inside of the storage space and consequently will not be fully retracted into the storage space by gravity. Often the residual portion of the hose has to be pushed manually in the storage space by applying force, which may cause damage to the tube due to buckling or bending below a critical minimum bending radius. In addition, vehicles - in particular aircraft - are usually prone to abrupt acceleration and deceleration during operation, which may not only impede retraction of the hose driven by gravity-only, but may also affect the alignment of the hose when being in the storage space.
- a storage device, respectively system for an extractable hose (hose) according to the invention is normally suitable to be arranged in or incorporating at least one narrow installa- 1 5 tion space infl uenced by at least one module arranged inside or extending into the installation space.
- the available installation space may at least partially be defined by structural parts of the aircraft. In the case of an airplane this would be at least one element out of the following list of elements: Sidewall , ceiling , stowage bin, partition wall, fuselage skin, strut, stringer, floor, frame, etc..
- the storage device preferably comprises a first housing member defining a first storage compartment, wherein the first storage compartment is configured to receive at least part of the hose.
- the hose can be extracted from and inserted into the first storage compart ⁇ ment man ually and/or automatically via a hose port arranged at the first housing member.
- the hose port comprises a noise reducing element.
- one or several deflection pulleys are a rranged closed to the hose port and by which the hose can be extracted and inserted.
- the first housing member comprises at least one spatial curved wall section adopted to, respectively eluding, the contour of at least one module arranged inside or extending into the installation space.
- the geometry of the first housing member can be defined by an overlay of at least two installation space. E.g. in the case of 5 several airplanes having a similar fuselage but different configurations of sanitary installations the common available installation space can be defined by an overlay of the respective configurations.
- the first storage compartment in the first housing member has a variable cross-section along the length of the hose.
- the first storage compartment may i o comprise a protuberance having a larger cross-section then the hose port.
- the protuberance can be foreseen to receive and store part of the hose and/or to act as a reservoir for liquid, especially leaked liquid. Good results are achieved if the protuberance is arranged close to the lowest point of the first housing member.
- the first housing member may comprise a fluid outlet to drain leaked fluid. Alternatively or in addition a liquid
- 1 5 sensor can be foreseen to indicate leaked fluid.
- the first housing member is at least partially made by an additive manufacturing process, e.g. 3 D-printing and/or lamination of fiber reinforced plastic material (composite material).
- the housing can be adopted to special configurations of modules extending into the installation space.
- At least part of the inside of the first housing member may be coated 0 by a friction reducing means.
- the friction reducing means can be a coating applied directly to the related surface of the first housing member.
- the friction reducing means can be a pad made from or comprising a friction reducing material such as Teflon®.
- the first storage compartment may be designed such that the portion of the hose when being inserted in the first storage compartment is brought to a predefined 5 shape by means of gravity and/or a spring loaded retraction mechanism.
- the storage device may comprise a second housing member comprising a second storage compartment and being interconnected with the first housing member such that the first and the second storage compartment form a continuous compartment for receiving at least a portion of the hose.
- the first and the second housing member may be interconnected with each other in a separable manner. Good results can be achieved when the second housing member is at least partially made by an injection molding process.
- the storage device comprises a retraction mechanism for the hose which is suitable to pull the hose actively into the storage device.
- the retraction mechanism may be designed as an active retraction mechanism which excerpts a constantly and/or temporarily force onto the hose.
- the retraction mechanism is at least partially arranged in the second housing member.
- the first and/or the second housing member may comprise at least one connecting point to connect an auxiliary device, such as e.g. a mixing or a control unit, etc., to the storage device.
- the storage device may comprise multiple con- necting points arranged in a regular pattern suitable to connect to at least one auxiliary device.
- the first housing member and/or the second housing member can at least partially be made from a plastic material, in particular from a polyetherimide ( PEI) and/or a polyamide ( PA).
- PEI polyetherimide
- PA polyamide
- the first housing member and/or the second housing mem- ber can least partially be made from a fiber reinforce plastic material.
- a method for producing a storage device for an extractable hose arranged in an installation space preferably comprises the following methods steps: Providing an installations space with at least one module extending into the installation space. Adopting a spatial curved wall section of a first housing member of a first storage compartment of the storage device to a contour of at least one module extending into the installation space. Producing of the first housing member by an additive manufacturing method. Arranging the first housing member in the installation space such that it eludes the at least one module. Good results are achieved if the first housing member is produced using an additive manufacturing method, such as 3 D printing, such as a fused deposition modeling process ( FDM ) and/or a light polymerization process and/or a powder bed process. At least the first housing member is normally made from a fire retardant material.
- FDM fused deposition modeling process
- the storage device according to the invention ensures long-term reliable functioning of a retraction mechanism for a hose even when used in vehicles that are subject to abrupt acceleration and deceleration in various directions. Thanks to such an active retraction mechanism friction between the hose and the first and/or the second housing compartment can be accounted for, leading to increased operator convenience.
- the first storage compartment is formed such that it fits into different installation spaces defined by different arrangements of at least one module extending into said installation space. This can be achieved in that the different configurations are virtually superimposed in a CAD-Software in the memory of a computer.
- 3D-prit- ing can be used as an additive manufacturing method and /or grinding can be used to manufacture a positive or a negative of the first housing member encompassing the first storage compartment. If a negative is made from the first housing member, a positive can be made by laminating of fiber reinforced material into and /or onto the negative. Thereafter the negative can be at least partially removed if required. Alternatively or in addition the negative can form part of the first housing member.
- the spring mechanism can be designed such that it retracts the tube and if not sufficient (varying tube length), the residual tube can fall freely in the defined first housing member.
- the storage device comprises a positioning or locking sys- tern in order to help positioning and /or locking a handpiece connected to the hose at least temporarily when not being used.
- the locking system may e.g. use magnetic force in order to position and/or lock the handpiece in a holder. It may also comprise an induction mechanism, e.g. an inductive coil, in order to heat and/or dry the handpiece.
- a liquid sensor may be ar- ranged within the first and/or the second storage compartment and/or at a fluid line interconnected with the first and /or the second storage compartment.
- leakage can be detected and water supply could be cut and/or a draining process could be initiated.
- Particularly reliable detection of leakage can be obtained if the housing of the storage device is formed such that leaked liquid collects at one or multiple predefined location of the first and/or the second storage compartment and one or multiple liquid sensors are arranged at this location (respectively these locations).
- the retraction mechanism may be electrically driven.
- the storage device may comprise a ventilation and/or a heating means in order to maintain the tube and liquid therein at a certain tem- perature and/or to dehumidify the outer surface of the tube and/or handpiece. Therefore the air-pressure in the first and/or the second storage compartment may be increased if compared to the passenger compartment.
- the first and /or the second housing member may be formed such that their resonance frequencies, respectively the resonance frequency of the first and/or the second storage compartment lie within a certain range.
- sound- and/or vibration-damping material may be arranged at the first and/or second housing member.
- a storage device according to the present invention may also be used for a beverage dispensing device.
