Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the formation of a fountain.
  • Fountains known in the art for pond systems, bodies of water or the like are constructed from a large number of individual parts. Just complex fountains and complex water features are difficult to build due to this large number of parts and complicated elements to be connected to each other.
  • fountains are understood to mean any kind of water games.
  • a modular system for a floating fountain is created.
  • the fountain module forms the basic element of a modular system that can create many different shapes for fountains, from a simple, single-jet fountain to extremely complex fountains, using only a few identical elements.
  • the fountain module according to the invention on a float, which the buoyancy of the Fon- tänenmoduls causes and sits in a ready-to-use system at least partially on the water surface or just below this. Due to the design of the individual fountain modules with an affiliated floating body can be dispensed with known from the prior art, additional buoyancy of a water fountain.
  • the float is assigned a fixing unit with which another, identical fountain module can be attached.
  • the use of identical fountain modules and their attachment via the floats leads to stable lying in the water fountains. This also applies to more complex fountains built from a variety of fountain modules.
  • a fountain module has at least one pump receptacle for attaching a pump to be assigned to the fountain module, so that, as described below, a simple fountain can already be built up from a fountain module according to the invention with associated pump.
  • the attachment unit of the fountain module is integrally formed with the float of the same to allow the formation of complex fountains in addition to a good attachment of the attachment unit to the float in particular a direct connection of the float with a float of another fountain module.
  • Straight with directly equipped fountains lead to a particularly stable and also very easy to set up system.
  • the fountain modules may each have one or more attachment areas. These can each be identically formed. However, fastening units that are complementary to one another are particularly advantageous, provided that the fountain module has at least two of these fastening units. Similar to a plug connection, a connection of a fountain module to another fountain module is thus predetermined, which further facilitates the assembly.
  • a first attachment unit of a fountain module according to the invention is provided with two spaced-apart flanges, while a second attachment unit comprises an extension whose extension parallel to the smallest clearance between the flanges is approximately equal to or less than this clearance.
  • the approach of a first fountain module can therefore be inserted between the flanges of a second fountain module and optionally clamped.
  • a connecting means extending through both fastening units then leads to a positive connection.
  • connection of two fountain modules in particular, a good form-fitting connection is formed when the extension of the projection is only slightly smaller than the distance between the flanges.
  • a relative movement between the floats by the arrangement of an approach between the two flanges can be allowed as far as it is necessary, for example, for a consistent water jet pattern.
  • a training with three flanges and two approaches intervening in their interspaces approaches may be useful.
  • a particularly flexible designed for the formation of different fountains fountain module has four mounting units, which are respectively arranged on the edge of the floating body, preferably in the four corner regions of a horizontally substantially rectangular swimming body.
  • Opposing fastening units are designed to be substantially identical, i. the example, a marginal approach a possibly slightly differently trained approach also opposite the edge, while then two flanges in a corner of the float also two flanges face. It is only important that the flanges can each sensibly accommodate one or the other approach to an attachment.
  • an embodiment of the floating body is advantageous in which it has at least one inwardly drawn or inwardly curved side.
  • These at least one side, more preferably two or three sides of the floating body are at least partially concave in horizontal section, or the respective side of the float has inwardly directed recesses, indentations or the like.
  • the side edges of the float are withdrawn relative to the attachment units and give the floatation body in a training with, for example, four attachment areas a slightly bony appearance.
  • the fastening units are due to the indentations against the sides of the float out, which makes the arrangement of identical floating body to each other more flexible.
  • the floats can be arranged against each other over a larger angular range, without touching the side walls of juxtaposed floats.
  • an outward bulge on one side can provide more lift.
  • a stable and yet easy to manufacture floating body is preferably a produced by a blown or rotary process plastic hollow body. Depending on the requirement, however, a stably formed foam body as a floating body is also conceivable.
  • the float at least also includes a pump receptacle, which is particularly preferably at least partially formed by the shape of the float.
  • a pump receptacle which is particularly preferably at least partially formed by the shape of the float.
  • the central arrangement of a pump positively influences the formation of a center of gravity of the fountain module with regard to its floating stability.
  • the pump receptacle may comprise a holder, which is preferably attached below the float to this.
  • the fountain module comprises a pump attached to the pump receptacle so that the module can already be used as a simple fountain.
  • the nozzle of the pump is arranged in the center of the floating body, which also sets a stable position of the fountain module.
  • the arrangement of the other pump parts below the float further leads to the fact that the center of gravity of the entire system is displaced downwards relative to its vertical extent. The stability of the system is further improved and the float can be made smaller.
