Description

WATER SHOWER WITH TURBINE SYSTEM Field of the invention The present invention belongs to the technical field of sanitary apparatuses; Particularly belongs to the technical field of head showers or bath showers.

State of the Art The shower heads are used to create the possibility that the water used for bathing is discharged at a specific point and / or shape. There are numerous types of these devices.

An example of this type of device is that of the patent US5405089, wherein a shower head having a rigid body is described forming a pressurizable compartment having a wall of synthetic resin material having an inner face and formed with a series of holes so that the pressurized water in the compartment leaves it through the holes. It also contains a unitary coating sheet of a soft elastomer having an outer face attached to the inner face of the wall and formed with the respective tubular elongations that fit and project through the holes. Each elongation forms a passage having an inner end opening in the compartment and an outer end opening outside the body. The coating sheet and integral connectors are molded in situ against the inner face of the plate forming the wall of the shower body.

Another example is that of the patent application US2003098366A1 (figure 1A), where a shower head containing a turbine inside is described. actionable by the flow of water that flows in and out of it. During its rotational movement of the turbine, it drags a nozzle body, which engages with a tang in a guide path. The water leaves the shower through a hole in the body of the nozzle. As a result of the design of the guide path, it is possible to continuously modify the direction in which the water jet leaves the head of the shower.

On the other hand, the patent application EP2181633A1 describes a shower head whose upper end is closed with an upper part of the water discharging the plate through a main water port, and the clean water is discharged through a plurality Water shower discharge orifices formed in the upper part of the discharge water of the plate. It is possible to discharge clean water with a water pressure that is preferable and with a preferable water force, regardless of whether a water pressure of clean water to be supplied is high or low. The space is divided by a separation plate having at least one or more communication holes in a feed water space of the side formed on the upper side of the water discharge plate and a space of the discharge side formed in the side of the main water port, an adjustment plate has to adjust holes in the locations corresponding to the communication holes formed in the separation plate, the adjustment plate is slidably arranged on the separation plate on the side of the supply water from the space side, the space of the feed water discharge side and that of the space side are in communication with each other through the communication holes formed in the separation plate and the adjustment holes formed in the adjustment plate in the position corresponding to the communication holes of the separation plate, and a total cross-sectional area through which clean water passes from the feed water space from the side of the discharge side space through the communication holes is adjusted by sliding the plate of adjustment on a surface of the separation plate on the feed side of the space side.

Similarly, the patent US6267305 (figure 1 B) describes a shower head comprising a jet nozzle to pressurize the supplied water, a main body having ejector mechanisms consisting of the jet nozzle and an air-liquid mixing tube provided through an air suction member, a discharge outlet of the air-liquid mixture tube opening to a shower discharge element, and an annular member projecting from the shower discharge element so as to surround the discharge outlet, in which an air absorption orifice of the air absorption element is effected in a side section exterior of the annular element projecting outwards.

Likewise, the patent US5685489 describes a shower head containing a central nozzle, axial channel, a channel for the flow through water, as well as a deflecting element symmetry of rotation for the water that is in the vicinity of the mouth outside of the channel. The nozzle is in threaded connection with a support through which the water is supplied and adapted to fit axially to the support. The deflector element is carried by a rod that extends axially in the channel with a radial clearance and is fixed to the support. On the side towards the channel, the baffle element is concave, in which a circumferential groove having a curved cross section extends around the stem. The region of the nozzle around the deflector element provides a conical surface that extends outwards in a convergent manner.

Finally, patent US4275843 (Figure 1C) describes a shower head with automatic pressure response that includes an outer casing and a body element placed within the same space. The body member has a water discharge at one end and is connected to a rotating member at the other end. There are means of water passage inside the body element between the rotating element and the water discharge body element. A sensing control water pressure member is positioned within the body member and is effective in controlling the flow of water through the body of the water.

However, it is necessary to develop new shower heads that optimize the water flow, as well as saving it. That is why the present invention provides a new shower head that allows the flow of water in turbo type.

Detailed description of the invention The present invention relates to a water shower head, which is used mainly in showers. In this sense, when the water passes through the shower, it flows into a six-slot turbine, which divides the body of the water, thus producing a torrent of water with large drops and well defined, thus preventing the shower from being covered, since it has a single large exit hole. The water shower head of the present invention consists of six primordial parts. a) Connector.

The connector (1, figures 2 and 3) consists of a hollow cylindrical structure (a, figure 3) without upper and lower faces that contains in its internal upper part a screwing system (1, figure 3) and in its internal lower part a screwing system (b, figure 4) of smaller diameter than that of the upper part, this in order to be screwed with the label. b) Ball The label (2, figures 2 and 3) consists of a hollow tubular structure with an elongated upper end that has an external screwing system in vertical direction and another end in spherical shape (c, figure 4), which allows the Correct positioning with circular movements of the turbo shower. c) Copy The copy (3, figures 2 and 3) consists of a hollow cylindrical structure (f, figure 4) without upper and lower faces which contains in its internal lower part a screwing system and in its internal upper part a e adapted to house the package. d) Packaging The packing or seal (4, figures 2 and 3) consists of hollow cylindrical structure made of rubber (h, figure 4) that avoids the leakage of water. e) Turbine The turbine (5, figures 2 and 3) consists of a circumferential base (i, figure 4) having six grooves diagonally and equidistantly on the peripheral face, and an elongated piece projected perpendicular to the circumferential base and which has its origin in the central part of the upper face of the base circumferential. These slots have the function of splitting the water jet into six parts. f) Body The body (6, figures 2 and 3) consists of a hollow cylindrical structure (k, figure 4) that has a suitable e to house inside the turbine coupled to the copy, an upper face containing a hole that allows the exit of the elongated upper end of the label coupled to the copy, a lower face containing a water outlet hole (I, figure 4), and an external screwing system located in the upper part (m, figure 4). It is in this body that the jets divided by the turbine collide on the internal walls, thus producing drops of water.

Figure 5 shows the operation of the turbo shower when the water passes. The water flows through the turbo shower until it reaches the turbine, where it is divided into 6 small jets which, when hitting the interior walls of the shower body and between them, cause the formation of water droplets.
