Abstract

Draining device applicable to shower taps and the like, characterized in that it comprises at least one fitting (1) affected by at least one radial perforation (2), said fitting (1) being intercalated in the connection between each of the pipes intermediate (3) and a main body (4) of the tap (5), at the same time that said intermediate pipe (3) ends in a shower head (8), so that when the tap (5) that feeds is closed intermediate pipe (3) and shower head (8), the water retained within such intermediate pipe (3) is passively emptied through the radial perforation (2) of the fitting (1).

Description

Emptying device applicable to taps shower and the like

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a device drainage applicable to shower faucets and the like that has as purpose to allow the emptying of the water retained in the tube flexible or rigid intermediate, which starts from the tap and flows into an artichoke where the water comes out during the shower, so that when the tap is closed the water retained in such intermediate tube and inside some inner chambers of the tap itself, it will go to passively outside thanks to the incorporation of the device of the invention, so that this emptying of the retained water is not will cause discomfort to the user.

Thanks to the device of the invention, it avoid, especially in the pipes of public places, the formation and proliferation of the bacterium legionella and others microorganisms that need moisture for their proliferation.

Background of the invention

Currently the water pipes that plucked from shower faucets, shower trays and others, They have the disadvantage that when the user closes the tap, a small volume of water is retained within such pipes, whereby that retained water can cause the proliferation of Legionella bacteria and other microorganisms that require a high degree of humidity to develop and proliferate.

Description of the invention

In order to achieve the objectives and avoid the drawbacks mentioned in the previous sections, the invention proposes an emptying device applicable to taps shower and the like comprising at least one characteristic fitting interspersed in the connection of an intermediate pipe that starts from the main body of a corresponding tap, intermediate pipe that it flows into a shower head, so when the user closes the tap the water retained in that pipe intermediate instead of staying inside it during the time, that volume of water retained will be emptied passively to through the characteristic fitting that incorporates a radial perforation, so that when the tap is open showering the user, air may enter through such radial perforation into the liquid vein that runs through the inside of the pipe intermediate, while when the tap is closed the retained water inside that intermediate pipe will pass outside through the radial perforation incorporated in the fitting, such as referred to above.

Radial drilling of the fitting will also serve to empty the chamber or internal chambers of the tap itself that accumulate water when it closes.

For each intermediate pipe that starts from shower faucet will fit a fitting with its corresponding emptying hole

Next to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and being an integral part of the same accompany some figures in which with character illustrative and not limiting the object of the invention.

Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a shower faucet that incorporates the applicable emptying device to shower taps and the like, object of the invention, comprises a characteristic fitting, by which the drain is allowed or emptying of a volume of water retained.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of the fitting.

Figure 3.- Shows a sectional view of the quoted fitting.

Description of the preferred embodiment

Considering the numbering adopted in the figures, the emptying device applicable to shower taps and similar comprises an affected fitting 1 of a radial perforation 2, said fitting 1 being inserted in the connection of a pipe intermediate 3 that starts from a main body 4 of the tap 5, of so that the fitting 1 has two extreme threads: an external one 6 where the intermediate pipe 3 and other internal thread 1 are coupled to connect to the main body 4 of the tap 5.

The intermediate pipe 3 flows into a shower head 8, so that when the user closes the tap 5, part of the water is retained inside the pipe intermediate 3, said water leaving passively through the radial bore 2 of fitting 1.

On the other hand, it should be noted that they should be place as many fittings 1 as water outlets have tap 5, for example for a double thermostatic, it will take two, as is clearly reflected in the figures.

Thus, as mentioned in sections above, by incorporating the characteristic device of the invention will prevent the appearance of the bacterium legionella and others microorganisms

Claims (1)

1. Drainage device applicable to shower taps and the like, characterized in that it comprises at least one fitting (1) affected by at least one radial perforation (2), said fitting (1) being inserted in the connection between each of the pipes intermediates (3) and a main body (4) of the tap (5), while said intermediate pipe (3) flows into a shower head (8), so that when the faucet (5) that feeds is closed the intermediate pipe (3) and shower head (8), the water retained within such intermediate pipe (3) is passively emptied through the radial perforation (2) of the fitting (1).
