Definitions

  • the invention relates to a washstand device which comprises a washbasin with a wash basin trough and a water dispensing device which is designed to dispense water in the form of a fountain jet consisting of individual jets and has a plurality of water dispensing nozzles which are located in the wash basin trough for dispensing the individual jets in associated Individual jet directions are arranged from the sink trough obliquely upwards and back into the sink trough.
  • the washstand device can, for example, serve as a washing area in a bathroom or the like, where the user can wash himself or undertake various other personal hygiene measures.
  • washbasin devices usually have a sanitary outlet fitting with an outlet pipe ending above the wash basin trough as the sole water dispensing device, in the present washbasin device the water dispensing device is designed to dispense the special fountain jet.
  • a vanity device of the type mentioned is in the patents US 7,155,759 B2 and US 7,461,419 B2 disclosed.
  • the water dispensing nozzles are formed by water dispensing openings in the wash basin trough, which are arranged in a preferably irregular pattern over the entire trough or at least in an upper region of the trough over the entire circumference of the trough.
  • the water dispensing nozzles are all aligned with their associated individual jet directions towards a central area above the wash basin trough, so that a dome-like fountain jet results.
  • the pattern of the water discharge openings above can be continued in a lower part of the trough by drainage openings of the same shape, which function as water drainage.
  • the wash basin trough has a common, central water drain.
  • a technical problem underlying the invention is the provision of a washstand device of the type mentioned, the water dispensing device of which enables the dispensing of water in the form of a fountain jet which is alternative to the prior art explained above and whose jet pattern offers significant application advantages.
  • the invention solves this problem by providing a washstand device with the features of claim 1.
  • the water dispensing nozzles are arranged within a strip-shaped nozzle occupancy area with a strip length extending in the circumferential direction of the trough and a strip height perpendicular thereto.
  • the strip length of the nozzle occupied area is greater than its strip height, and the nozzle occupied area extends with its strip length over at most half the trough circumference.
  • the washstand device enables the dispensing of water in the form of a fountain jet which is advantageous for many applications.
  • This special nozzle occupancy area makes it possible to provide the fountain jet in its shape and in particular its jet pattern similar to, for example, a gush jet with a jet cross-section perpendicular to the jet propagation direction, which has a horizontal jet width that is larger than a vertical jet width, i.e. jet height, preferably several times larger owns.
  • the fountain jet can provide a more localized water flow over its jet path than the conventional, dome-shaped fountain jet mentioned, which leaves larger areas free above the wash basin, so that the user does not get unnecessarily or undesirably wet as long as he is working in these areas, and in the water-covered area has a relatively dense flow of water over the course of the fountain jet, which the user can use effectively for his application.
  • This fountain jet differs from a conventional gush jet and from other conventional water delivery jets using outlet fittings with an outlet pipe ending above the trough in its parabolic trajectory obliquely upwards and then obliquely downwards and its composition of the plurality of individual jets delivered through the water delivery nozzles.
  • the fountain jet is ideal for washing hands, washing faces, brushing teeth, filling mugs or the like with water, rinsing containers, rinsing objects, etc. Thanks to its combined trajectory and fan shape, it is also particularly suitable for washing hair or for head washes and beard cleaning. Due to the lack of a water outlet pipe over the sink trough, the user has unimpeded space for his head over the trough for these applications.
  • any conventional realizations can be used for the water dispensing nozzles.
  • the nozzles can be implemented as pure outlet openings in the wash basin trough or as independent nozzle elements, for example in the form of corresponding jet outlet nipples which are placed in corresponding nozzle receiving openings in the trough.
  • special fine / mist jet nozzles such as those used in shower devices sold by the applicant under the PowderRain brand, and as they are also in the laid-open specification, can be advantageous DE 10 2016 225 987 A1 by the applicant are disclosed, or other conventional fine jet nozzles or needle jet nozzles, alternatively also conventional normal jet nozzles, as are commonly built into shower heads, can be used.
  • the nozzle occupied area extends with its strip length over at most a quarter of the trough circumference. This further contributes to a desirable good localization of the water discharged by the water dispensing device within the correspondingly localized fountain jet consisting of the bundle of the individual jets.
  • the nozzle occupied area extends with its strip length over at least a fifth and at most a quarter of the trough circumference.
  • the water dispensing nozzles are arranged in the nozzle occupancy area in at least two rows of nozzles, the water dispensing nozzles of a respective row of nozzles being offset in the circumferential direction of the trough to the water dispensing nozzles of a respective adjacent row of nozzles. It has been shown that this specific arrangement of the water dispensing nozzles further contributes to an optimal fountain jet pattern for most washing applications.
  • the nozzle occupancy area is located in a rear half of the wash basin trough facing away from the user.
  • the designation of the rear half facing away from the user means that half of the wash basin trough which is opposite the front half of the wash basin trough, the front side denoting the side of the wash basin trough on which the user approaches the wash basin trough or stands in front of it during normal use of the washbasin facility
  • a mirror or mirror cabinet is often arranged on the opposite rear side of the wash basin trough or the vanity.
  • the water dispensing device directs the fountain jet in the direction of the user, be it from back to front directly towards him or alternatively in a direction obliquely from behind or laterally back to front or to the side in front.
  • This positioning of the nozzle occupied area generally proves to be particularly favorable for the vast majority of typical washing applications.
  • the wash basin trough has a water drain in the front half facing the user, with a fountain jet impingement area, i. the area in which the fountain jet hits the wash basin trough is on a side of the water drain that faces the nozzle occupied area.
  • This position of the water drainage relative to the nozzle occupied area and the fountain jet impingement area has proven to be favorable for achieving a desired, optimal water drainage.
  • the water drain is formed in the shape of a slot with a longitudinal slot axis perpendicular to a lateral fountain jet main direction component.
  • This slot shape of the water drain is advantageously matched to the shape of the fountain jet and further contributes to an optimized discharge of the water reaching the wash basin trough through the fountain jet.
  • the water dispensing nozzles are arranged in at least two nozzle groups, each with a plurality of water dispensing nozzles, which follow one another in the trough circumferential direction.
  • a maximum difference between the jet exit directions of the water delivery nozzles of a respective nozzle group is smaller than a minimum difference between the jet exit directions of the water delivery nozzles of two adjacent nozzle groups.
  • the individual jets of the nozzles run within each nozzle group in the same or comparatively little different directions, while the individual jet directions of the water discharge nozzles in each of two adjacent nozzle groups are more different from one another. It has been shown that with this measure a particularly advantageous jet pattern for the fountain jet can be achieved, as is optimal for many applications.
  • the water delivery nozzles are specifically arranged in three nozzle groups following one another in the trough circumferential direction, the water delivery nozzles of a respective nozzle group having the same lateral jet exit direction components and the lateral jet exit direction components of two lateral groups of nozzles being inclined at the same angle to the lateral jet exit direction component of a central jet exit group.
  • the designation lateral jet exit direction component here means that directional component of the jet exit directions of the individual jets determined by the nozzles which are the lateral, i.e. horizontal, projection of the beam exit direction perpendicular to the vertical height direction results.
  • the washbasin device contains a water distributor body on an underside of the washbasin trough in the nozzle occupied area.

  • the water can be supplied comparatively evenly and consequently with the same pressure conditions to the various water dispensing nozzles .
  • the water dispensing nozzles are in turn easily able to produce individual jets of the same type emit, ie single jets with essentially the same throw height and throw of their trajectory parabolic shape.
