EP3519637B1 - Outlet device that can be mounted on a water outlet - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a device, in particular an outlet device, with a housing which can be attached to a water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting via a water flow opening of the housing.

Such devices are already known in various embodiments from the prior art. This is how she describes it DE 10 2009 060 433 A1 an attachment for an outlet of a faucet, which is formed from a cap which has a slot forming a flow opening, from which the water emerges.

From the DE 20 2006 004 971 U1 a cleaning radiator for domestic water taps is known, which is arranged on the outlet pipe or the water jet aerator screwed to it in a self-retaining manner. At its outlet, jet bores are arranged which are designed to generate water jets which can have a cleaning effect without coinciding with the other, respectively adjacent water jets to form an overall jet.

From the US 4,838,949 A a device for cleaning a wet razor blade head is also known, which comprises a flow opening directed into a chamber, the tap water being emitted from a baffle plate located in the chamber from the wet razor blade head which can be inserted into the chamber.

From the US 4,941,492 A is a device for flushing a Knife razor head known, which can be placed on a tap and absorbs tap water at line pressure. The device channels the tap water to increase the flow rate in order to create a "high pressure" water jet for cleaning razor blades. The razor blade is inserted into a lower cavity of the device where it is cleaned of the water jet by tap water which is led into the cavity under high pressure through a series of pipes.

From the US 8,689,830 B2 a cleaning jet is also known which comprises a device for generating a pulsating water jet which is set in rotation by means of the tap water emerging from the outlet of the tap.

A disadvantage of the above-mentioned devices is on the one hand the sometimes structurally complex design, on the other hand these devices, once attached to the tap, are only suitable for showing a water jet suitable for cleaning a wet razor. A tap provided with such devices is therefore no longer usable.

From the US 2012/318391 A1 is a shower head with a switching mechanism previously known, which can be switched with the aid of a pull rope between different discharge jet images. For this purpose, the switching mechanism used in the known shower head has a water-carrying housing which, with its water flow opening, can be mounted on a water connection. The water flow opening of the housing a channel follows in the direction of flow, which is divided into channel sections on the downstream side, each leading to a water outlet. In order to be able to select, switch on or switch off the channel section leading to one of the water outlets, a (valve) device with a (valve) ball is provided, which can be rotated in front of one of the water outlets by a rotary movement and thereby close the water outlet, or which can instead be turned to an intermediate position that keeps the water outlets open at the same time. It goes without saying that the inflowing water can emerge from only one of the water outlets at a higher flow rate than would be the case with water outlet from both water outlets at the same time.

The present invention is based on the object of providing a device which overcomes the aforementioned problems.

According to the invention, the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous refinements and developments of the device according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.

Based on the cited prior art, the device according to the invention comprises a housing which comprises a water flow opening which can be attached to an outlet of a water tap and which is arranged at least one to at least one inside the housing of the device and for generating a pulsating water jet from the outlet of the Tap escaping tap water trained device connects water-conducting channel, the device absorbs the tap water via the channel and passes it on to a water outlet when the pressure is high.

According to the invention, a device of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in that it comprises at least one water outlet connected to at least one further channel.

The arrangement of an additional water outlet now makes it possible for the first time to use the device at the same time for normal, appropriate use of the tap. For this purpose, according to the invention, at least one valve, a blocking element and / or a deflecting element is preferably provided within the housing, by means of which the tap water is either conducted into one channel or into the other channel. The valve, blocking element or deflecting element is operated manually by the operator, either directly or indirectly via the structural design of the housing, which is discussed below.
