Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Set aus einer Duscheinrichtung, die an einer Schüssel, insbesondere einer WC-Schüssel, montiert werden kann, und aus einem BasisgerätThe present invention relates to a set consisting of a shower device that can be mounted on a bowl, in particular a toilet bowl, and a base unit

Dabei ist an eine mobile Duscheinrichtung gedacht, die also nur vorübergehend an der Schüssel montiert wird, um während der Montage für einen über der Schüssel oder auf der Schüssel sitzenden Benutzer eine Unterleibs-Duschfunktion zu realisieren. Dazu weist die Duscheinrichtung einen Befestigungsbereich mit einer Befestigungseinrichtung auf. Außerdem enthält sie einen Duscharm mit einer Duschdüse darin, wobei der Duscharm natürlich mit der Befestigungseinrichtung verbunden ist.A mobile shower device is thought of here, which is therefore only temporarily mounted on the bowl in order to implement a pelvic shower function for a user sitting over the bowl or on the bowl during assembly. For this purpose, the shower device has a fastening area with a fastening device. It also includes a shower arm with a shower nozzle therein, the shower arm of course being connected to the attachment means.

Grundsätzlich ist es von Vorteil, die eigentliche Duscheinrichtung, die an der Schüssel montiert werden soll oder dort montiert ist, nur mit den unmittelbar dort nötigen Einrichtungen auszustatten, insbesondere einer Befestigungseinrichtung zur Montage und einer Abgabevorrichtung für das Duschwasser, insbesondere eine Duschdüse, vorzugsweise an einem distalen Ende eines Duscharmes.In principle, it is advantageous to equip the actual shower device, which is to be mounted on the bowl or is mounted there, only with the devices required directly there, in particular a fastening device for mounting and a dispensing device for the shower water, in particular a shower nozzle, preferably on a distal end of a shower arm.

Andere Einrichtungen können aus Platzgründen und zur Vereinfachung und Verkleinerung der beschriebenen Duscheinrichtung davon entfernt in einem Basisgerät vorgesehen sein, das über einen flexiblen Wasserleitungsteil mit der Duscheinrichtung verbunden ist. Das Basisgerät weist eine Wasserheizung zum Erwärmen des Duschwassers auf. Daneben kann es einen Wassertank (alternativ zu einem auch möglichen Festwasseranschluss am Leitungsnetz) und eine Wasserpumpe aufweisen.For reasons of space and to simplify and reduce the size of the shower device described, other devices can be provided remotely in a base device which is connected to the shower device via a flexible water line part. The base unit has a water heater for heating the shower water. In addition, it can have a water tank (as an alternative to a possible fixed water connection to the mains) and a water pump.

Jedenfalls ist das Basisgerät mobil, lässt sich also von einem Benutzungsort zum anderen transportieren und mit dem Wasserleitungsteil und der Duscheinrichtung neu aufbauen und nutzen. So können die Benutzer das Set aus dem Basisgerät und der Duscheinrichtung z. B. bei einem Umzug mitnehmen, sodass auch im Mietmarkt leichter Dusch-WCs Verwendung finden.In any case, the basic device is mobile, so it can be transported from one place of use to another and reassembled and used with the water pipe part and the shower facility. So the users can choose the set from the base unit and the shower facility e.g. B. take it with you when you move, so that shower toilets can also be used more easily in the rental market.

Im Stand der Technik werden nämlich von vielen Mietern die dauerhaften Installationsaufwendungen für eine Dusch-WC-Montage aus Kostengründen oder mangels Einwilligung des Vermieters unterlassen. Damit erschließt eine erfindungsgemäße mobile Lösung weitere Anwendungsbereiche. Ähnlich gilt dies für Reisen und eine entsprechende Anwendung an WCs z. B. in Hotels, Ferienwohnungen oder beim Camping in einem Caravan oder Wohnmobil.In the state of the art, many tenants omit the permanent installation costs for a shower toilet assembly for cost reasons or for lack of the landlord's consent. A mobile solution according to the invention thus opens up further areas of application. This applies similarly to travel and a corresponding application to toilets, e.g. B. in hotels, holiday apartments or when camping in a caravan or mobile home.

Die GB 2 562 326 A zeigt ein Set aus einer mobilen Duscheinrichtung zur Bedienung und zum Halten in der Hand und einem rückseitig auf einem WC montierten Basisgerät mit einer Wasserheizung, die über einen flexiblen Wasserleitungsteil verbunden sind.The GB 2 562 326 A shows a set consisting of a mobile shower device that can be operated and held in the hand and a basic device with a water heater that is mounted on the back of a toilet and is connected via a flexible water pipe part.

Die WO 00/55438 A zeigt ein Set gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, insbesondere in einer Ausführungsform ein mobiles Basisgerät und eine Überhitzungsschutzeinrichtung zur Verhinderung einer zu hohen Wassertemperatur von Duschwasser.The WO 00/55438 A shows a set according to the preamble of claim 1, in particular in one embodiment, a mobile base unit and an overheating protection device to prevent the water temperature of the shower water being too high.

Die CA 1 117 256 A zeigt ebenfalls ein Set mit einer Überhitzungsschutzeinrichtung und die DE 26 00 689 A zeigt ein Dusch-WC mit einer Wasserheizung und im Fall eines mobilen Ausführungsbeispiels ohne eine solche.The CA 1 117 256 A also shows a set with an overheating protection device and the DE 26 00 689 A shows a shower toilet with a water heater and in the case of a mobile embodiment without such.

Der Erfindung liegt das technische Problem zugrunde, ein hinsichtlich der Gebrauchseigenschaften bei mobilem Einsatz vorteilhaftes solches Set aus Basisgerät und Duscheinrichtung anzugeben.The invention is based on the technical problem of specifying such a set of base unit and shower device that is advantageous in terms of usage properties for mobile use.

Hierzu ist ein Set gemäß Anspruch 1 vorgesehen. Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.A set according to claim 1 is provided for this purpose. Preferred configurations are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung sieht bei einem mobilen Basisgerät des beschriebenen Typs eine Überhitzungsschutzeinrichtung zur Verhinderung zu hoher Wassertemperaturen des Duschwassers vor. Wenn nämlich eine Wasserheizung, z. B. ein bevorzugter Durchlauferhitzer, eingesetzt wird, besteht ein Restrisiko einer Fehlfunktion und damit der Beeinträchtigung oder gar Verletzung eines Benutzers durch zu heißes Duschwasser.In a mobile basic device of the type described, the invention provides an overheating protection device to prevent excessively high water temperatures in the shower water. Namely, if a water heater, z. B. a preferred instantaneous water heater is used, there is a residual risk of malfunction and thus the impairment or even injury of a user by too hot shower water.

Eine konventionelle Überhitzungsschutzeinrichtung allerdings würde, so die Erfinder, bei mobilen Anwendungen zu mangelnder Akzeptanz führen, weil die Gefahr einer unbeabsichtigten Auslösung der Überhitzungsschutzfunktion besteht. Z. B. könnte das Basisgerät in einem parkenden Fahrzeug im Sonnenschein heiß werden oder z. B. beim Packen oder Ausladen auch im Freien durch Sonneneinstrahlung zu warm werden. Dann würde die Überhitzungsschutzeinrichtung ansprechen. Gewöhnlich sind solche Einrichtungen nur durch Servicepersonal wieder in den normalen Funktionszustand rückstellbar, was das Set für den Rest der Reise unbrauchbar machen würde oder jedenfalls die weitere Benutzung der Wasserheizung bis zur Behebung des Problems ausschließen würde.However, according to the inventors, a conventional overheating protection device would lead to a lack of acceptance in mobile applications because there is a risk of the overheating protection function being triggered unintentionally. For example, the base unit could get hot in the sunshine in a parked vehicle or e.g. B. get too warm when packing or unloading outdoors due to sunlight. Then the overheating protection device would respond. Usually, such devices can only be restored to normal operation by service personnel, which would render the set unusable for the remainder of the trip, or at least preclude further use of the water heater until the problem is resolved.

Erfindungsgemäß soll nun an dem Basisgerät eine durch den Benutzer betätigbare Bedieneinrichtung für einen Reset der Überhitzungsschutzeinrichtung vorgesehen sein. Damit kann sich der Nutzer selbst helfen und das Basisgerät durch eine einfache Betätigung wieder in den Gebrauchszustand bringen.According to the invention, an operating device that can be actuated by the user for resetting the overheating protection device should now be provided on the base device. This allows the user to help himself and bring the basic device back into working order with a simple operation.

Dazu ist die Bedieneinrichtung leicht zugänglich, vorzugsweise direkt von außen. Möglich wäre, wenngleich weniger bevorzugt, auch das werkzeuglose Öffnen einer Abdeckung oder Klappe. Jedenfalls ist keine Zerlegung des Gehäuses oder gar weiterer Teile nötig, wie dies bei konventionellen Dusch-WCs zur Erreichung eines Reset nötig ist.For this purpose, the operating device is easily accessible, preferably directly from the outside. It would also be possible, albeit less preferred, to open a cover or flap without tools. In any case, no dismantling of the housing or even other parts is necessary, as is necessary with conventional shower toilets to achieve a reset.

Eine günstige und bevorzugte Anordnung liegt in einem Boden des Basisgeräts, sodass die Bedieneinrichtung bei der normalen Benutzung nicht sichtbar ist. Sie beeinträchtigt dabei auch nicht die Möglichkeiten, das Basisgerät an den sichtbaren Flächen möglichst glatt, reinigungsfreundlich und attraktiv zu gestalten. Andererseits stellt es für den Benutzer kein wesentliches Problem dar, das Basisgerät zur Betätigung umzukippen oder hochzuheben.A favorable and preferred arrangement is in a base of the base unit, so that the operating device is not visible during normal use. It also does not affect the possibilities of connecting the basic device to the visible ones Make surfaces as smooth, easy to clean and attractive as possible. On the other hand, it poses no significant problem for the user to tip over or lift up the base unit for operation.

Z. B. kann eine eindrückbare Taste vorgesehen sein, die man z. B. mit dem Finger oder einem Schreibgerät oder einem anderen schmalen Gegenstand eindrücken kann. Mit einer solchen Taste kann z. B. ein innerhalb des Gehäuses vorgesehener Hebel bewegt und darüber dann ein Schalter betätigt werden, der seinerseits die Reset-Funktion auslöst. Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Hebel ein Kipphebel mit zwei zueinander gewinkelten Armen. Die beiden Arme sind fest miteinander verbunden und gemeinsam um ein Kippgelenk beweglich. Mit der Taste wird ein Hebelarm beaufschlagt und der andere Hebelarm betätigt dann den Schalter.For example, a depressible button may be provided, e.g. B. with your finger or a writing implement or other narrow object. With such a button z. B. moves a lever provided within the housing and then a switch can be actuated, which in turn triggers the reset function. In the exemplary embodiment, the lever is a rocker arm with two arms angled toward one another. The two arms are firmly connected to each other and can be moved together around a tilting joint. One lever arm is acted upon by the button and the other lever arm then actuates the switch.

Ferner kann es einen Wassertank des Basisgeräts geben, sodass das Basisgerät von einem Leitungsanschluss unabhängig ist. Der Wassertank speichert dann die für eine gewisse Betriebszeit nötige Wassermenge. Er ist vorzugsweise zum Reinigen oder Befüllen von dem Basisgerät abnehmbar. Besonders bevorzugterweise ist er auf das übrige Basisgerät von oben aufgesetzt und von diesem abhebbar. Hierzu kann er Griffe aufweisen, vorzugsweise zwei und vorzugsweise in Seitenwänden des Wassertanks eingeformt. Dabei kann es sich z. B. um Vertiefungen in den Seitenwänden, insbesondere an deren unterer Kante, handeln. Solche Griffe tragen nicht auf, sind produktionstechnisch besonders einfach und erleichtern dennoch das Abheben des Wassertanks.Furthermore, there can be a water tank in the base unit, so that the base unit is independent of a line connection. The water tank then stores the amount of water required for a certain operating time. It can preferably be removed from the base unit for cleaning or filling. Particularly preferably, it is placed on top of the rest of the base unit and can be lifted off of it. For this purpose, it can have handles, preferably two, and preferably molded into the side walls of the water tank. It can be z. B. are depressions in the side walls, in particular on the lower edge. Such handles are not bulky, are particularly simple in terms of production technology and still make it easier to lift off the water tank.

Ferner weist der Wassertank vorzugsweise einen zum Befüllen zu öffnenden und vorzugsweise abnehmbaren Deckel auf. Der Deckel kann die gesamte Oberseite abdecken, sodass beim Öffnen oder Abnehmen eine relativ große Öffnung zur Verfügung steht.Furthermore, the water tank preferably has a cover that can be opened and preferably removed for filling. The lid can cover the entire top, so there is a relatively large opening when opening or taking it off.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist der Wassertank im aufgesetzten Zustand durch ein Ventil in seinem Boden mit dem übrigen Basisgerät verbunden, wobei sich das Ventil vorzugsweise beim Aufsetzen selbsttätig öffnet und beim Abnehmen selbsttätig schließt. Der Benutzer muss also außer dem Aufsetzen und Abnehmen (und Befüllen) keine weiteren Bedienoperationen durchführen. Dabei kann in der entsprechenden Oberseite des übrigen Basisgeräts ein Elastomergegenstück für das Ventil vorgesehen sein. Dieses Elastomergegenstück wiederum kann bei der bevorzugten Ausgestaltung einstückig mit einem Schlauchstück ausgeführt sein, das sich daran anschließt und zu einer Wasserpumpe des Basisgeräts führt. Wenn wegen Materialermüdung oder aus Hygienegründen ein Austausch des Elastomergegenstücks gewünscht wird, dann kann nach dem Öffnen des Gehäuses einfach ein neuer Elastomerkörper an der Wasserpumpe angeschlossen und in der Oberseite des Basisgeräts befestigt werden. Das Gleiche gilt für eine eventuelle Reinigung oder Sterilisierung dieses Elastomerkörpers.In a preferred embodiment, when the water tank is in place, it is connected to the rest of the base unit by a valve in its base, with the valve preferably opening automatically when it is put on and when it is removed closes automatically. The user therefore does not have to carry out any further operating operations apart from putting on and taking off (and filling). An elastomer counterpart for the valve can be provided in the corresponding upper side of the rest of the basic device. In the preferred embodiment, this elastomer counterpart can in turn be designed in one piece with a piece of tubing which is connected to it and leads to a water pump of the basic device. If the elastomer counterpart is to be replaced due to material fatigue or for hygiene reasons, a new elastomer body can simply be connected to the water pump after opening the housing and fastened to the top of the basic device. The same applies to any cleaning or sterilization of this elastomer body.

Der Wassertank ist vorzugsweise nicht allzu hoch, um leicht zum Befüllen unter einen Wasserhahn gehalten werden zu können. Vorzugsweise hat er eine Höhe von höchstens 20 cm, wobei als Obergrenze zunehmend bevorzugt sind: 19, 18 und 17 cm. Das bezieht sich natürlich auf die Höhe ohne Deckel, soweit dieser zum Befüllen abgenommen wird, also auf die faktisch unter dem Wasserhahn unterzubringende Höhe.The water tank is preferably not too high so that it can easily be held under a tap for filling. It preferably has a height of at most 20 cm, with an increasingly preferred upper limit: 19, 18 and 17 cm. Of course, this refers to the height without the lid, as far as this is removed for filling, i.e. the height that can actually be accommodated under the tap.

Der bereits erwähnte Boden des (übrigen) Basisgeräts kann neben der optionalen Anordnung der Bedieneinrichtung für die Reset-Funktion eine Aufwickeleinrichtung für ein Anschlusskabel aufweisen. Dieses Anschlusskabel dient zur Stromversorgung der Wasserheizung und gegebenenfalls der Pumpe. Überschüssige Kabellänge kann z. B. um einen in dem Boden integrierten flachen (in vertikaler Richtung) und breiten (in horizontaler Richtung) Zapfen herumgewickelt werden und z. B. durch Hinterschnitte gehalten werden. Das gilt dann im Transportfall auch für das gesamte Anschlusskabel. Vorzugsweise ist dieser Zapfen an dem (übrigen) Boden angesetzt und kann dabei das dazwischen austretende Anschlusskabel klemmen und somit gegen Zugkräfte bzw. deren Übertragung auf die eigentlichen elektrischen Anschlüsse im Gehäuseinneren sichern. Im Übrigen bietet die Anordnung im Boden eine für das ästhetische Erscheinungsbild und die Reinigungseigenschaften günstige Anordnung einer solchen Kabelunterbringung.In addition to the optional arrangement of the operating device for the reset function, the base of the (remaining) base unit, which has already been mentioned, can have a winding device for a connecting cable. This connection cable is used to power the water heater and, if necessary, the pump. Excess cable length can e.g. B. be wrapped around a built-in base flat (in the vertical direction) and wide (in the horizontal direction) pin and z. B. be held by undercuts. In the event of transport, this also applies to the entire connection cable. This pin is preferably attached to the (remaining) base and can thereby clamp the connection cable exiting between them and thus secure against tensile forces or their transmission to the actual electrical connections inside the housing. Furthermore, the arrangement in the floor offers an arrangement of such cable accommodation that is favorable for the aesthetic appearance and the cleaning properties.

Auch im Übrigen ist das Basisgerät an seinen im normalen Betriebszustand sichtbaren Flächen möglichst glatt und reinigungsfreundlich gestaltet. Insbesondere ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass auf für die Bedienung der Duschfunktion relevante Schalter oder Taster verzichtet wird, und zwar vorzugsweise auch am Boden des Basisgeräts. Stattdessen kann bei dieser Ausgestaltung das Basisgerät über eine Fernbedienung bedient werden, wozu auch eine einschlägige App z. B. in einem Mobiltelefon zählt. Das bezieht sich jedenfalls auf die Duschfunktion, es beinhaltet nicht die Bedieneinrichtung für die Reset-Funktion des Überhitzungsschutzes.The basic device is also designed to be as smooth and easy-to-clean as possible on the surfaces that are visible in normal operation. In particular, it is preferably provided that switches or buttons relevant for the operation of the shower function are dispensed with, specifically preferably also on the base of the base unit. Instead, in this embodiment, the base unit can be operated via a remote control, including a relevant app z. B. counts in a mobile phone. In any case, this refers to the shower function, it does not include the control device for the reset function of the overheating protection.

In dieser Form muss der Benutzer das Basisgerät (und, soweit bereits montiert, auch die Duscheinrichtung) gar nicht berühren, was der Hygiene in der Benutzung entgegenkommt.In this form, the user does not have to touch the basic device (and, if already installed, also the shower device) at all, which is more hygienic in use.

Eine bevorzugte Form für den Wassertank einerseits, das übrige Basisgerät andererseits und auch beide im zusammengesetzten Zustand ist eine angenäherte Quaderform, wozu zur Veranschaulichung auf das Ausführungsbeispiel verwiesen wird. Dabei können die Seitenwände natürlich etwas schräg und können Ecken abgerundet sein. Diese Form ist praktisch, ästhetisch und reinigungsfreundlich.A preferred shape for the water tank on the one hand, the rest of the basic device on the other hand and also both in the assembled state is an approximately cuboid shape, for which reference is made to the exemplary embodiment for illustration. The side walls can of course be slightly sloping and the corners can be rounded. This shape is practical, aesthetic and easy to clean.

Das Basisgerät hält im aufgestellten Zustand mit den Außenbereichen seines Gehäuses vorzugsweise einen gewissen Hygieneabstand vom Boden von mindestens 1,5 mm, vorzugsweise mindestens 2 mm oder sogar mindestens 2,5 mm.When set up, the base device preferably keeps the outer areas of its housing at a certain hygienic distance from the floor of at least 1.5 mm, preferably at least 2 mm or even at least 2.5 mm.

Das betrifft natürlich nicht (zumindest) einen Aufstellfuß, wobei der oder die Aufstellfüße vorzugsweise mit einem Abstand von diesem Außenrand und insoweit weiter innen angeordnet sind. Insbesondere soll durch diese Maßnahme eine "Kapillarwirkung" eines schmalen Schlitzes zwischen dem unteren äußeren Rand des Gehäuses und dem Boden hinsichtlich verschüttetem Wasser, Putzwasser und dergleichen vermieden werden. Stattdessen soll der Boden in diesem Bereich sauber trocknen können.Of course, this does not apply to (at least) one support foot, with the support foot or feet preferably being arranged at a distance from this outer edge and to that extent further inwards. In particular, this measure is intended to avoid a "capillary effect" of a narrow slot between the lower outer edge of the housing and the floor with regard to spilled water, cleaning water and the like. Instead, the floor in this area should be able to dry clean.

Eine bevorzugte Wahl für die Wasserheizung ist ein Durchlauferhitzer, der ein kleineres Bauvolumen als ein Boiler erfordert und außerdem nach dem Aufstellen und Anschließen keine nennenswerte Vorheizzeit benötigt. Damit ist der Durchlauferhitzer für ein mobiles Gerät besonders geeignet.A preferred choice for water heating is an instantaneous water heater, which requires a smaller construction volume than a boiler and also does not require any significant preheating time after installation and connection. This makes the instantaneous water heater particularly suitable for a mobile device.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Duscheinrichtung mit einem Duscharm 1, der hier in einem ausgefahrenen Zustand, also mit rechts aus der übrigen Duscheinrichtung herausragenden Teleskopelementen 8 und 9, dargestellt ist. Der Duscharm 1 ist dabei rastend gehalten in einem im Übrigen weitgehend einstückigen Kunststoffteil 2, das in Figur 2 ohne den Duscharm 1 zum Vergleich dargestellt ist. Außerdem zeigt Figur 1 noch einen flexiblen Wasserleitungsteil 23 am linken Rand, wenngleich nur teilweise. Dieser führt über eine gewisse Länge von der eigentlichen Benutzungsposition der Duscheinrichtung (am Rand einer WC-Schüssel) zu einem neben dem WC auf dem Boden stehenden Basisgerät gemäß den Figuren 9-11. figure 1 shows a shower device with a shower arm 1, which is shown here in an extended state, ie with telescopic elements 8 and 9 protruding from the rest of the shower device on the right. The shower arm 1 is held in a latching manner in what is otherwise a largely one-piece plastic part 2, which in figure 2 is shown without the shower arm 1 for comparison. Also shows figure 1 still a flexible water pipe part 23 on the left edge, albeit only partially. This leads over a certain length from the actual position of use of the shower facility (on the edge of a toilet bowl) to a base unit standing on the floor next to the toilet according to Figures 9-11 .

Zur Befestigung des Kunststoffteils 2 sind in einem Befestigungsbereich 3 an einer Unterseite des Kunststoffteils 2 zwei Haftpads 4 angebracht. Mit diesen kann die Duscheinrichtung aus Figur 1 flach auf einen ebenfalls flachen Rand einer üblichen WC-Schüssel aufgedrückt werden und haftet dann dort. Wenn der Schüsselrand und die Haftpads 4 hinreichend sauber sind, kommen viele mikroskopische Saugeinrichtungen an der Unterseite der Haftpads 4 zur Wirkung. Damit kann die Duscheinrichtung beliebig und rückstandsfrei wieder abgenommen werden und muss vor einer Neumontage allenfalls gereinigt werden.Two adhesive pads 4 are attached to an underside of the plastic part 2 in a fastening area 3 for fastening the plastic part 2 . With these, the shower facility can be switched off figure 1 be pressed flat onto an equally flat rim of a standard toilet bowl and then adheres there. When the edge of the bowl and the adhesive pads 4 are sufficiently clean, many microscopic suction devices on the underside of the adhesive pads 4 come into effect. This means that the shower device can be removed again at will and without leaving any residue, and it may need to be cleaned before it is reinstalled.

Der Befestigungsbereich 3 ist dabei der im linken Teil der Figur 1 erkennbare flache Bereich, der in einem Knickbereich 5 übergeht in eine tiefe angeordnete und eine Rasteinrichtung zum Halten des Duscharms 1 bildende Halteeinrichtung 6. Diese Halteeinrichtung 6 hat (gesehen in der Axialrichtung des Duscharms 1) im Wesentlichen eine nach unten offene umgekehrte U-Form, vergleiche Figur 2 und 3, wobei sie den Duscharm 1 dachartig nach oben und nach den Seiten abdeckt. Das Bezugszeichen 7 bezeichnet Rastvorsprünge zum Halten des Duscharms 1; außerdem ist eine in den Figuren 1 und 2 nach rechts weisende Öffnung für die Teleskopelemente 8 und 9 des Duscharms 1 nach unten etwas verengt, wie vor allem Figur 2 zeigt.The attachment area 3 is in the left part of the figure 1 recognizable flat area, which merges in a kink area 5 into a holding device 6 which is arranged deep and forms a latching device for holding the shower arm 1. This holding device 6 has (seen in the axial direction of the shower arm 1) essentially an inverted U-shape which is open towards the bottom, compare figure 2 and 3 , Wherein it covers the shower arm 1 like a roof upwards and to the sides. Numeral 7 designates locking projections for holding the shower arm 1; in addition, one is in the figures 1 and 2 right-facing opening for the telescopic elements 8 and 9 of the shower arm 1 narrowed down slightly, as above all figure 2 shows.

Zwischen den beiden Haftpads 4 gibt es eine Lücke, in der der flexible Wasserleitungsteil 23 verläuft, und an einem in den Figuren 3, 5-8 gut erkennbaren Anschlussstutzen 10 an einem rückwärtigen Teil des Duscharms 1 angeschlossen ist. Dazu ist der flexible Leitungsteil 23 einfach auf den Stutzen 10 aufgeschoben, wobei dieser Stutzen 10 seine stark elliptische Querschnittsform, vergleiche vor allem die Figuren 3 und 5, dem flexiblen Leitungsteil 23 aufzwingt. Im Übrigen kann der flexible Wasserleitungsteil 23, wenn die Bauhöhe ein wesentliches Problem darstellt, auch im Übrigen zwischen den die Haftpads 4 haltenden flachen Strukturen in dem Befestigungsbereich 3 etwas flachgedrückt werden.There is a gap between the two adhesive pads 4, in which the flexible water pipe part 23 runs, and at one in the Figures 3 , 5-8 easily recognizable connection sockets 10 is connected to a rear part of the shower arm 1. For this purpose, the flexible line part 23 is simply slid onto the socket 10, with this socket 10 having a highly elliptical cross-sectional shape Figures 3 and 5 , The flexible line part 23 imposes. Incidentally, if the overall height is a significant problem, the flexible water pipe part 23 can also be somewhat flattened between the flat structures holding the adhesive pads 4 in the fastening area 3 .

Der Anschlussstutzen 10 führt über einen starren Wasserleitungsteil 11 in den eigentlichen Zylinderteil 12 des Duscharms 1, in dem im eingefahrenen Zustand auch die Teleskopelemente 8 und 9 untergebracht sind, vergleiche die Figuren 5 und 8. Der starre Wasserleitungsteil 11 verläuft dabei gewinkelt zu der Horizontalen bzw. der Richtung des Anschlussstutzens 10, wobei der Winkel gemäß den Figuren 7 und 8 zwischen ganz ungefähr 45° und 60° liegt (je nach Betrachtung der oberen oder unteren Begrenzung). Dabei weitet sich der starre Wasserleitungsteil 11 auf und führt das Duschwasser damit in den bereits angesprochenen Zylinderteil 12, wobei die entsprechende rückseitige Begrenzung dieses Zylinderteil 12 schräg gestaltet ist und damit die untere Wand des starren Wasserleitungsteils 11 in gewissem Sinn fortsetzt, vergleiche Figur 7 und 8.The connecting piece 10 leads via a rigid water line part 11 into the actual cylinder part 12 of the shower arm 1, in which the telescopic elements 8 and 9 are also housed when retracted, compare those figures 5 and 8th . The rigid water pipe part 11 runs at an angle to the horizontal or the direction of the connecting piece 10, the angle according to the figures 7 and 8th is between very approximately 45° and 60° (depending on whether the upper or lower limit is considered). The rigid water line part 11 widens and thus guides the shower water into the cylinder part 12 already mentioned, the corresponding rear boundary of this cylinder part 12 being designed obliquely and thus continuing the lower wall of the rigid water line part 11 in a certain sense, compare figure 7 and 8th .

Der starre Wasserleitungsteil 11 hat auch stromabwärts von dem Anschlussstutzen 10 einen flach-elliptischen Strömungsquerschnitt, wobei er sich ausweislich der Figuren 5-7 im Übergang in den Zylinderabschnitt 12 aufweitet. Jedenfalls liegt stromaufwärts von dem Knickbereich 5, in dem Knickbereich 5 und auch noch ein Stück weit stromabwärts davon ein flacher Strömungsquerschnitt mit ungefähr elliptischer Form vor.The rigid water pipe part 11 also has a flat-elliptical flow cross-section downstream of the connecting piece 10, whereby it is evident from the Figures 5-7 widens in the transition into the cylinder section 12. In any case, there is a flat flow cross section with an approximately elliptical shape upstream of the bend region 5, in the bend region 5 and also a little further downstream.

Damit kann also über den flexiblen Leitungsteil 23 Duschwasser zu dem Duscharm 1 zugeführt werden, der seinerseits mit dem Kunststoffteil 2 über eine Haftverbindung an der WC-Schüssel gehalten ist, aber aus diesem Kunststoffteil 2 rastend gelöst werden kann. Dementsprechend kann der Duscharm 1 ohne Komplettdemontage der Duscheinrichtung abgenommen und z. B. gereinigt werden. Im Übrigen hat die Trennung in die zwei rastend verbundenen Teile, nämlich den Duscharm 1 und das Kunststoffteil 2, produktionstechnische Vorteile.This means that shower water can be supplied to the shower arm 1 via the flexible line part 23, which in turn is held with the plastic part 2 via an adhesive connection to the toilet bowl, but can be released from this plastic part 2 in a snap-in manner. Accordingly, the shower arm 1 can be removed without complete dismantling of the shower device and z. B. be cleaned. In the Furthermore, the separation into the two latchingly connected parts, namely the shower arm 1 and the plastic part 2, has advantages in terms of production technology.

Im Übrigen knickt die den Duscharm 1 eigentlich haltende Halteeinrichtung 6 (als Teil des Kunststoffteils 2), gegenüber dem Befestigungsbereich 3 deutlich gewinkelt nach unten ab, vergleiche Figur 2, und gibt damit bereits dem Duscharm 1 seine axiale Ausrichtung nach schräg unten vor. Außerdem schützt die Halteeinrichtung 6 des Kunststoffteils 2 den Duscharm 1 in dessen eingefahrenem Zustand weitgehend vor Verschmutzungen, vergleiche Figur 4.Furthermore, the holding device 6 actually holding the shower arm 1 (as part of the plastic part 2) bends downwards at a clear angle relative to the fastening area 3, compare figure 2 , And is thus already the shower arm 1 before its axial orientation obliquely downwards. In addition, the holding device 6 of the plastic part 2 largely protects the shower arm 1 from dirt in its retracted state, compare figure 4 .

Der Duscharm 1 weist, wie bereits angesprochen, einen Teleskopmechanismus mit zwei beweglichen Teleskopelementen 8 und 9 auf, wobei der Zylinderteil 12 das erste Teleskopelement bildet, das dementsprechend das zweite Teleskopelement 8 aufnimmt (wobei dieses das dritte Teleskopelement 9 aufnimmt). Die Figuren 6 und 7 im Vergleich zu den Figuren 5 und 8 zeigen den ausgefahrenen und eingefahrenen Zustand, wobei in den Figuren 6 und 7 eine zwischen der rückseitigen schrägen Wand des Zylinderteils 12 einerseits und einem Haltearm 13 in dem dritten Teleskopelement 9 andererseits gespannte Schraubenfeder 24 zeigt. Diese wirkt dem über die Wasserleitung zugeführten Wasserdruck entgegen, sodass über den Wasserdruck das Ein- und Ausfahren des Duscharms gesteuert werden kann.As already mentioned, the shower arm 1 has a telescopic mechanism with two movable telescopic elements 8 and 9, the cylinder part 12 forming the first telescopic element, which correspondingly accommodates the second telescopic element 8 (which accommodates the third telescopic element 9). The figures 6 and 7 compared to the figures 5 and 8th show the extended and retracted state, where in the figures 6 and 7 shows a helical spring 24 tensioned between the rear inclined wall of the cylinder part 12 on the one hand and a holding arm 13 in the third telescopic element 9 on the other hand. This counteracts the water pressure supplied via the water pipe, so that the retracting and extending of the shower arm can be controlled via the water pressure.

Dabei weisen das zweite und das dritte Teleskopelement 8 bzw. 9 an ihren jeweiligen proximalen Enden radiale Vorsprünge nach außen auf, die mit dem Bezugszeichen 14 und 15 bezeichnet sind und jeweils einen O-Ring zur Abdichtung tragen. Wie die Figuren 6 und 7 zeigen, tritt diese Abdichtung im ausgefahrenen Zustand durch Anlage gegen einen nach innen weisenden radialen Kragen am jeweils distalen Ende des ersten bzw. zweiten Teleskopelements 12 bzw. 8 auf. Im eingefahrenen Zustand hingegen existiert diese Abdichtung nicht. Vielmehr überbrückt dann eine in Figur 7 und Figur 8 erkennbare Kanalvertiefung 16, die tatsächlich dreimal über den Umfang verteilt vorliegt, den proximalen radialen Vorsprung 14 und führt Wasser an diesem vorbei in den Zwischenraum 17 (Figur 8) zwischen dem Zylinderteil 12, also dem ersten Teleskopelement 12, und dem zweiten Teleskopelement 8.The second and third telescopic elements 8 and 9 have radial outward projections at their respective proximal ends, which are denoted by reference numerals 14 and 15 and each carry an O-ring for sealing. As the figures 6 and 7 show, this sealing occurs in the extended state by abutting against an inwardly pointing radial collar at the respective distal end of the first and second telescopic element 12 and 8, respectively. In the retracted state, however, this seal does not exist. Rather then bridges an in figure 7 and figure 8 recognizable channel depression 16, which is actually distributed three times over the circumference, the proximal radial projection 14 and guides water past this into the intermediate space 17 ( figure 8 ) between the cylinder part 12, i.e. the first telescopic element 12, and the second telescopic element 8.

Außerdem führt eine in den Figuren 6-8 gut erkennbare Duschdüse 18 Wasser in einen Zwischenraum 19 zwischen dem zweiten Teleskopelement 8 und dem dritten Teleskopelement 9. Das Wasser aus dem erstgenannten Zwischenraum 17 kann über einen distalen Ringspalt innerhalb des radial nach innen weisenden distalen Kragens des Zylinderteils 12, vor allem aber über eine in Figur 8 mit 20 bezeichnete kleine Öffnung im unteren Bereich des Ringspalts, austreten. Diese Öffnung 20 ist dabei im eingefahrenen Zustand von einer nach unten weisenden Nase 21 am distalen Ende des dritten Teleskopelements 9 abgedeckt. Das Wasser aus dem Zwischenraum 19 tritt in ähnlicher Weise durch den distalen Ringspalt zwischen dem zweiten Teleskopelement 8 und dem dritten Teleskopelement 9 aus.In addition, one leads to the Figures 6-8 clearly visible shower nozzle 18 water into an intermediate space 19 between the second telescopic element 8 and the third telescopic element 9. The water from the first-mentioned intermediate space 17 can flow through a distal annular gap within the radially inward-pointing distal collar of the cylinder part 12, but above all through an in figure 8 with 20 designated small opening in the lower part of the annular gap exit. In the retracted state, this opening 20 is covered by a nose 21 pointing downwards at the distal end of the third telescopic element 9 . The water from the intermediate space 19 similarly exits through the distal annular gap between the second telescopic element 8 and the third telescopic element 9 .

Wenn also ein gewisser Wasserdruck anliegt, der für das Ausfahren des Duscharms 1 noch nicht ausreicht, werden die Zwischenräume 17 und 19 und damit die entsprechenden Flächen der Teleskopelemente gespült. Das gilt auch noch während des Ausfahrens. Wenn beim Ende eines Duschvorgangs der Wasserdruck nicht abrupt abgeschaltet wird, gilt das analog für das Einfahren und eine eventuelle Zeitspanne danach.So if there is a certain water pressure which is not yet sufficient for the extension of the shower arm 1, the gaps 17 and 19 and thus the corresponding surfaces of the telescopic elements are flushed. This also applies while driving out. If the water pressure is not switched off abruptly at the end of a shower, the same applies to running in and any time afterwards.

Die Figuren 6 bis 8 zeigen übrigens unterhalb und stromaufwärts von der Duschdüse 18 eine Verwirbelungskammer 22, zu der auf den Stand der Technik EP 2 628 546 verwiesen wird und die an einen proximal davon befindlichen Innenhohlraum in dem dritten Teleskopelement 9 (und im Übrigen die Innenhohlräume in dem zweiten und dem ersten Teleskopelement) angeschlossen ist, und zwar über ein kurzes axial verlaufendes Kanalstück.The Figures 6 to 8 Incidentally, show below and upstream of the shower nozzle 18 a turbulence chamber 22, to that of the prior art EP 2 628 546 and which is connected to an internal cavity proximal thereto in the third telescopic member 9 (and otherwise the internal cavities in the second and first telescopic members) by a short axially extending length of conduit.

Die bereits beschriebene Nase 21 am distalen Ende des dritten Teleskopelements 9 dient im Übrigen beim Einfahren als Anschlag, weil sie unten an das distale Ende des zweiten Teleskopelements 8 in Anlage kommt, und zwar in einer eigens dafür vorgesehenen Nische, vergleiche Figur 1. Außerdem ist die Nase 21 lang genug, damit z. B. bei einem Verklemmen oder ohne Wasserdruck der Duscharm 1 auch manuell ausgefahren werden kann. Dazu wird einfach mit einem Finger an der Nase 21 gezogen.The lug 21 already described at the distal end of the third telescopic element 9 also serves as a stop when retracting, because it comes into contact with the distal end of the second telescopic element 8 at the bottom, specifically in a specially designed manner designated niche, compare figure 1 . In addition, the nose 21 is long enough so that z. B. in the event of jamming or without water pressure, the shower arm 1 can also be extended manually. To do this, the nose 21 is simply pulled with a finger.

Für die Versorgung der in den Figuren 1-8 dargestellten und oben erläuterten Duscheinrichtung ist ein Basisgerät 30 gemäß den Figuren 9-11 zuständig, womit zusammen ein Set als mobile Lösung zum Aufrüsten eines gewöhnlichen WCs zu einem Dusch-WC gegeben ist.For the supply of in the Figures 1-8 illustrated and explained above shower device is a base unit 30 according to Figures 9-11 responsible, which together form a set as a mobile solution for upgrading an ordinary toilet to a shower toilet.

Figur 9 zeigt dabei einen Wassertank 31 mit im Wesentlichen Quaderform, der auf einen Sockelteil 32 aufgesetzt und oben von einem Deckel 33 abgedeckt ist. Figur 9 zeigt dabei konkret ein Gehäuse des Sockelteils 32. Der Wassertank 31 kann dabei aus transparentem oder transluzentem Material bestehen und den Wasserstand anzeigen. Bei Bedarf wird er einfach nach oben abgehoben, wozu zwei Griffmulden, eine davon in Figur 9 sichtbar und mit 34 beziffert, dienen. Nach Abheben des Deckels 33 kann der Wassertank 31 dann befüllt, wieder auf den Sockelteil 32 aufgesetzt und wieder mit dem Deckel 33 verschlossen werden. Ohne Deckel ist der Wassertank etwa 16,5 cm hoch und damit leicht unter einen Wasserhahn z. B. in einem Waschbecken zu halten. figure 9 shows a water tank 31 with an essentially cuboid shape, which is placed on a base part 32 and covered by a cover 33 at the top. figure 9 12 specifically shows a housing of the base part 32. The water tank 31 can be made of transparent or translucent material and can indicate the water level. If necessary, it is simply lifted upwards, for which purpose two recessed grips, one of them in figure 9 visible and numbered 34. After the lid 33 has been lifted off, the water tank 31 can then be filled, placed back on the base part 32 and closed again with the lid 33 . Without the lid, the water tank is about 16.5 cm high and can therefore easily be placed under a tap, e.g. B. to keep in a sink.

Auch der Sockelteil 32 hat im Wesentlichen eine Quaderform. Er weist keine äußeren Schalter oder anderen Bedieneinrichtungen mit Ausnahme dessen auf, was noch in Bezug auf Figur 10 erläutert wird. Wenn die in Figur 9 sichtbare Gehäuseabdeckung abgenommen ist, ergibt sich eine Ansicht wie in Figur 11, die nicht in allen Einzelheiten erläutert wird.The base part 32 also essentially has the shape of a cuboid. It has no external switches or other controls other than what is related to figure 10 is explained. If the in figure 9 visible housing cover is removed, the result is a view like in figure 11 , which is not explained in detail.

Jedenfalls gibt es dort ein zentrales Elastomerelement 35, für das die Gehäuseabdeckung eine zentrale Aussparung aufweist und in das ein Ventil des Wassertanks 31 eingreift. Innerhalb des Elastomerelements 35 sieht man einen zentralen Stift 36, mit dem das Ventil des Wassertanks 31 selbsttätig geöffnet (und beim Abheben wieder verschlossen) wird. Im Übrigen ist das Elastomerelement 35 einstückig mit einem Schlauch 37 ausgeführt, der zu der Wasserpumpe 38 führt. Die Wasserpumpe 38 ist zur Geräuschminderung schwingungsisoliert gelagert und in nicht näher dargestellter Weise mit einem Durchlauferhitzer 39 verbunden.In any case, there is a central elastomeric element 35 for which the housing cover has a central recess and into which a valve of the water tank 31 engages. A central pin 36 can be seen within the elastomeric element 35, with which the valve of the water tank 31 is automatically opened (and closed again when lifted off). Otherwise, the elastomeric element 35 is in one piece executed with a hose 37 leading to the water pump 38. The water pump 38 is mounted in a vibration-insulated manner to reduce noise and is connected to a continuous-flow heater 39 in a manner that is not shown in detail.

Figur 11 zeigt vor dem Durchlauferhitzer einen ungefähr vertikal nach oben weisenden Hebel 40, der einen hier nicht dargestellten bodennahen und ungefähr rechtwinklig dazu verlaufenden zweiten Hebelarm aufweist. Der zweite Hebelarm kann über eine in Figur 10 oben eingezeichnete Drucktaste als Bedieneinrichtung 41 nach oben geschoben werden und ist mit seinem zu dem Übergang (zum zweiten Arm) entgegengesetzten Ende gelenkig gelagert. Dementsprechend führt ein Eindrücken der Bedieneinrichtung 41 zu einer nach innen gerichteten Bewegung des in Figur 11 dargestellten vertikalen Arms des Hebels 40, womit ein dahinter verdeckter elektrischer Taster betätigt und die Reset-Funktion eines Überhitzungsschutzes des Durchlauferhitzers 39 ausgelöst wird. figure 11 shows an approximately vertically upward-pointing lever 40 in front of the continuous-flow heater, which has a second lever arm, not shown here, close to the ground and running approximately at right angles thereto. The second lever arm can be connected via an in figure 10 The push button shown above can be pushed upwards as the operating device 41 and is articulated with its end opposite to the transition (to the second arm). Accordingly, pressing in the operating device 41 leads to an inward movement of the in figure 11 shown vertical arm of the lever 40, which actuates an electric button concealed behind it and the reset function of an overheating protection of the instantaneous water heater 39 is triggered.

Im Übrigen enthält der Sockelsteil 32 eine elektronische Steuerung 42 und einige weitere Teile, die für das Verständnis der vorliegenden Erfindung nicht von besonderem Belang sind. Die Steuerung 42 weist eine Schnittstelle nach dem "Low Energy Bluetooth"-Standard auf und kann z. B. über eine App auf einem Mobiltelefon angesprochen werden. Damit kann der Nutzer ohne Berührung des Basisgeräts 30 die Duschfunktion bedienen und die Steuerung 42 auch programmieren. Lediglich die Reset-Funktion mit der mechanischen Bedieneinrichtung 41 bildet hier eine Ausnahme.Incidentally, the base portion 32 includes an electronic controller 42 and some other parts that are not particularly relevant to the understanding of the present invention. The controller 42 has an interface according to the "Low Energy Bluetooth" standard and can, for. B. be addressed via an app on a mobile phone. The user can thus operate the shower function and also program the controller 42 without touching the base unit 30 . The only exception here is the reset function with the mechanical operating device 41 .

Figur 10 zeigt eine Unteransicht des Sockelteils 32 aus Figur 9. Neben der bereits erwähnten Taste bzw. Bedieneinrichtung 41 ist hierbei ein Anschlussstutzen 43 für einen hier nicht eingezeichneten und in Figur 1 mit seinem anderen Ende sichtbaren flexiblen Wasserleitungsteil 23 zu sehen, der durchaus eine Länge von z. B. über einem Meter haben kann, um eine flexible Anordnung des Basisgeräts aus Figur 9 neben der WC-Schüssel zu ermöglichen. Die zu dem Stutzen 43 führende Wasserleitung ist in Figur 11 mit 44 beziffert und führt vom Durchlauferhitzer 39 her. figure 10 12 shows a bottom view of the base part 32. FIG figure 9 . In addition to the button or operating device 41 already mentioned, a connecting piece 43 is provided for a not shown here and in figure 1 visible with its other end visible flexible water pipe part 23, which is quite a length of z. B. can have more than a meter to a flexible arrangement of the base unit figure 9 next to the toilet bowl allow. The water line leading to the socket 43 is in figure 11 numbered with 44 and leads from the water heater 39 forth.

Ferner sieht man in Figur 10 ein elektrisches Anschlusskabel, dessen weiterführender Bereich und Stecker weggelassen sind und das das Zeichen 45 trägt. Dieses Kabel ist um einen flachen Zapfen als Aufwickeleinrichtung 46 herumgewickelt, den man in Figur 10 mit seinem untersten und gegenüber dem dahinterliegenden "Restteil" etwas vergrößerten Abschnitt sieht. Dementsprechend liegt der Restteil des Kabels 45 hinter der sichtbaren Fläche, aber um einen dem mittleren Oval 47 ungefähr entsprechenden Restteil der Aufwickeleinrichung 46 herumgewickelt. Gleichzeitig bildet der sichtbare Teil der Aufwickeleinrichung 46 einen Aufstellfuß und sorgt dafür, dass die in Figur 9 sichtbare untere Kante des Sockelteils 32 ungefähr 3 mm über dem Boden schwebt.Furthermore, one sees in figure 10 an electrical connection cable, the continuing portion and plug of which are omitted, and which bears the symbol 45. This cable is wound around a flat spigot as a winding device 46, which can be found in figure 10 with its lowest section, which is somewhat enlarged compared to the "remaining part" behind it. Correspondingly, the remainder of the cable 45 lies behind the visible surface, but is wound around a remainder of the winding device 46 approximately corresponding to the central oval 47 . At the same time, the visible part of the winding device 46 forms a stand and ensures that the figure 9 visible lower edge of the base part 32 is about 3 mm above the ground.
