Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

En la actualidad se presta especial atención al ahorro de agua en las instalaciones de uso industrial y doméstico de agua. En el ámbito doméstico es frecuente la instalación de economizadores o reguladores de caudal con el propósito de ahorrar agua. Dichos reguladores de caudal se incorporan en los mandos de los accesorios de baño o ducha, por ejemplo en los grifos; en los elementos difusores, por ejemplo en una alcachofa de una ducha; o como un elemento auxiliar e independiente, añadido a una instalación existente y conectado por ejemplo entre un flexo convencional y la alcachofa de ducha.At present, special attention is paid to water saving in industrial and domestic facilities of water. In the domestic sphere, the installation of economizers or flow regulators for the purpose of saving Water. Said flow regulators are incorporated in the controls of bathroom or shower accessories, for example in faucets; in the diffuser elements, for example in a shower head; or as an auxiliary and independent element, added to a existing installation and connected for example between a flexo Conventional and shower head.

En el caso de querer incorporar a una instalación ya existente un regulador de caudal, es preciso alojar el regulador en los medios de conexión del mango o alcachofa, o en la salida de los grifos que no están especialmente diseñados para ello lo que puede conducir a conexiones que no garantizan la correcta estanqueidad o funcionamiento del regulador de
caudal.
In the case of wanting to incorporate a flow regulator into an existing installation, it is necessary to accommodate the regulator in the connection means of the handle or artichoke, or in the outlet of the taps that are not specially designed for this, which can lead to connections that do not guarantee the correct sealing or operation of the regulator
