Abstract

The shower sprayhead according to the invention is mounted on a flexible coupling (16) connected to a bathroom plumbing installation. With the tap or taps being open, when the user exerts a force tending to move the half-body (5) closer to the half-body (6) the piston (4) moves forward, to the left in the drawing, opening the circuit. As soon as the force stops, the spring (10) returns the piston (4) and the half-body (5) to their initial positions and the circuit is again closed.

Description

La présente invention concerne une pomme de douche comportant un moyen intégré d'ouverture manuelle et d'obturation automatique du jet, adaptable aux raccords flexibles du commerce. The present invention relates to a shower head comprising an integrated means of manual opening and automatic sealing of the jet, adaptable to flexible commercial fittings.

Les modèles de pomme de douche à monter sur raccord flexible disponibles à ce jour ne sont pas pourvus d'un tel dispositif. Ils sont adaptables aux types d'installation suivants :
-Robinet unique dit "mélangeur" qui permet de réglen
le débit d'eau par un mouvement et la température de
l'eau par un autre mouvement, independamment du
premier et en général perpendiculaire à celui-ci, les
deux mouvements peuvent se composer.The models of shower head to be mounted on flexible connection available today do not have such a device. They are adaptable to the following types of installation:
- Single valve called "mixer" which allows adjustment
the flow of water by movement and the temperature of
water by another movement, regardless of
first and generally perpendicular to it, the
two movements can be composed.

-Deux robinets distinets donnant sur une sortie commune
et participant chacun aux réglages de température et de
débit du jet, l'un pour la proportion d'eau froide,
l'autre pour la proportion d'eau chaude.-Two distinguished faucets overlooking a common outlet
and each participating in the temperature and
jet flow, one for the proportion of cold water,
the other for the proportion of hot water.

L'utilisation de l'une ou de l'autre de ces installations munie d'une pomme de douche du commerce peut, lors des moments où il n'utilise pas le jet en cours de douchage, soit laisser couler l'eau en pure perte, réalisant ainsi un important gaspillage d'eau et d'énergie, soit arrêter le débit.The use of one or the other of these installations fitted with a commercial shower head can, during times when it does not use the jet during showering, either let the water flow in pure loss, thereby achieving a significant waste of water and energy, or stopping the flow.

Dans ce cas, à chaque utilisation du jet au cours d'une même séance de douchage, il doit done:
- Dans le cas du robinet dit "mélangeur", intervenir
sur la commande de règlage de débit pour arrêter,
-Dans le cas des robinets séparés, refermer chaque
robinet, puis réaliser de nouveaux règlages de
température et de débit.In this case, each time the jet is used during the same showering session, he must therefore:
- In the case of the so-called "mixer" tap, intervene
on the flow control to stop,
-In the case of separate taps, close each
tap, then make new adjustments to
temperature and flow.

L'objet de la présente invention est de supprimer les inconvénients respectifs de ces deux types d'installation en incluant à la pomme de douche montée sur raccord flexible un moyen d'ouverture du jet lorsque l'on actionne un moyen porté par la pomme de douche et d'obturation automatique du jet dès que ce moyen est libéré. The object of the present invention is to eliminate the respective drawbacks of these two types of installation by including, with the shower head mounted on a flexible connector, a means of opening the jet when a means carried by the head is actuated. shower and automatic jet shutter as soon as this means is released.

Ceci présente les avantages suivants:
-Réduction des gaspillages d'eau et d'énergie,
-Pas de nécessité de régler à nouveau la
température et le débit en cours de douchage,
-Possibilité de laisser en place un réglage permanent
de température et de débit.This has the following advantages:
-Reduction of wasted water and energy,
-No need to re-adjust the
temperature and flow during showering,
-Possibility of leaving a permanent adjustment in place
temperature and flow.

La pomme de douche selon l'invention est raccordée au raccord flexible (16) de l'installation existante par l'intérmédiaire du filetage (1) solidaire du demi-corps (6) et d'un raccord (17), si nécessaire. L'étanchéité de l'assemblage est réalisée par le joint (2).The shower head according to the invention is connected to the flexible connector (16) of the existing installation by means of the thread (1) integral with the half-body (6) and with a connector (17), if necessary. The assembly is sealed by the seal (2).

Lorsque le ou les robinet (s) d'alimentation sont ouverts, l'eau pénètre dans la zone (A) du demi-corps (6) où elle est arrêtée par le piston (4) muni d'un joint (3) solidaire du piston (4). (Voir figure 3).When the supply tap (s) are open, water enters the area (A) of the half-body (6) where it is stopped by the piston (4) provided with a joint (3) secured piston (4). (See figure 3).

Lorsque l'utilisateur prend la pomme en main et exerce un effort suffisant tendant à rapprocher le demi-corps (5) du demi-corps (6), le demi-corps (5) pivote autour des axes (7) solidaires du demi-corps (6).When the user takes the apple in hand and exerts a sufficient effort tending to bring the half-body (5) closer to the half-body (6), the half-body (5) pivots around the axes (7) integral with the half body (6).

La rampe (8) solidaire du demi-corps (5) vient alors repousser la rampe complémentaire (9) du piston (4).The ramp (8) integral with the half-body (5) then pushes the complementary ramp (9) of the piston (4).

Le ressort (10), qui prend appui à une des extrémités contre l'anneau élastique (11) solidaire du piston (4) et à l'autre extrémité contre la rondelle épaulée (13) elle-même en appui contre le demi-corps (6) est comprimé. Le piston (4) glisse vers la gauche du dessin (voir figure 4) décollant ainsi le joint (3) de son siège (12) dans le demi-corps (6), le circuit est ouvert manuellement. (Voin figure 4). L'eau pénètre alors dans la zone (B) où elle rencontre la grille (14) percée de trous qui divisent le flux d'eau en petits jets. La grille (14) est maintenue en place dans le demi-corps (6) par la vis (15). Le joint (16) et la rondelle épaulée (13) assurent l'étanchéité de la zone (C0 intérieure au demicorps (6).The spring (10), which bears at one end against the elastic ring (11) integral with the piston (4) and at the other end against the shouldered washer (13) itself in abutment against the half-body (6) is compressed. The piston (4) slides to the left of the drawing (see Figure 4) thus removing the seal (3) from its seat (12) in the half-body (6), the circuit is opened manually. (See Figure 4). The water then enters the zone (B) where it meets the grid (14) pierced with holes which divide the flow of water into small jets. The grid (14) is held in place in the half-body (6) by the screw (15). The seal (16) and the shoulder washer (13) seal the zone (C0 inside the half-body (6).

La rotation du piston (4) est interdite par les deux plats latéraux (17) qu'il comporte vers son éxtrémité munie de la rampe (9), lesquels le guident entre les nervures (18) solidaires du demi-corps (6).The rotation of the piston (4) is prohibited by the two lateral plates (17) which it comprises towards its end provided with the ramp (9), which guide it between the ribs (18) integral with the half-body (6).

Dès que l'utilisateur relâche l'effort tendant à rapprocher le demi-corps (5) du demi-corps (6), le ressort de rappel (10) repousse le piston (4) vers la droite du dessin.As soon as the user releases the effort tending to bring the half-body (5) closer to the half-body (6), the return spring (10) pushes the piston (4) to the right of the drawing.

(voir figure 3).(see figure 3).

Le joint (3) vient en contact contre son siège (12) dans le demi-corps (6), le circuit est fermé automatiquement.The seal (3) comes into contact against its seat (12) in the half-body (6), the circuit is closed automatically.

(Voir figure 3).(See figure 3).

On notera que le ressort de rappel (10) assure à la fois le retour du piston (4) en position fermée et le retour du demi-corps (5) en position repos par le biais de la rampe (9) repoussant la rampe (8). On notera également que la pression du réseau en s'exercant sur la tête (19) du piston (4) participe à l'effort de rappel du piston (4) en position fermée et, par le biais de la rampe (9) repoussant la rampe (8), au retour du demi-corps (5) en position repos.It will be noted that the return spring (10) ensures both the return of the piston (4) to the closed position and the return of the half-body (5) to the rest position by means of the ramp (9) pushing the ramp ( 8). It will also be noted that the pressure of the network by exerting itself on the head (19) of the piston (4) participates in the return force of the piston (4) in the closed position and, by means of the repelling ramp (9) the ramp (8), when the half-body (5) returns to the rest position.

On pourrait concevoir que l'effort dû à la pression du réseau est suffisant pour assurer tout ou partie du fonctionnement du mécanisme.One could conceive that the force due to the pressure of the network is sufficient to ensure all or part of the operation of the mechanism.

Par soucis de sécurité, la construction de la pomme est telle que le poids de la pomme complète, constituée de toutes les pièces, augmenté du poids du flexible de raccordement s'exerçant sur le deml-corps (5) en tendant à la rapprocher du demi-corps (6) n'est pas suffisant pour ouvrir le circuit.For safety reasons, the construction of the apple is such that the weight of the complete apple, made up of all the parts, increased by the weight of the connection hose acting on the half-body (5) tending to bring it closer to the half body (6) is not sufficient to open the circuit.

On notera également que le piston (4) et le joint (3) sont les seuls éléments mobiles àêtre en contact permanent avec l'eau.It will also be noted that the piston (4) and the seal (3) are the only movable elements to be in permanent contact with the water.

On remarquera aussi que l'ensemble des pièces mobiles est porté par le manche (22) de la pomme.It will also be noted that all of the moving parts are carried by the handle (22) of the apple.

Dans un soucis de production industrielle les demi-corps (5) et demi-corps (6) seront réalisés à profit en matières plastiques thermoplastiques ou thermodurcissables, ceci pour leur bonne inoxydabilité et leux faible coût.For the sake of industrial production, the half-bodies (5) and half-bodies (6) will be made to profit from thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics, this for their good stainlessability and low cost.

Afin d'alléger le texte l'ensemble des plèces:
-Piston (4), joint (3), demi-corps (5),
demi-corps (6), ressort (10) et anneau
élastique (11), sera appelé "moyen d'ouverture manuelle et d'obturation automatique du jet (20)"
Bien entendu l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation que l'on vient de décrire et on peut apporter à celui-ci de nombreuses modifications sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. In order to lighten the text all the species:
-Piston (4), seal (3), half-body (5),
half body (6), spring (10) and ring
elastic (11), will be called "manual opening and automatic shutter means (20)"
Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described and many modifications can be made to it without departing from the scope of the invention.
