Abstract

Es wird eine Brauseeinrichtung (11) mit einer flexiblen und flächigen gelochten Strahlscheibe (28) geschaffen, bei der mindestens ein Flächenbezirk nach außen gewölbt ist und bei Überschreiten einer bestimmten auf ihn ausgeübten Eindrück-Kraft (E) sprungartig mit der Wölbung nach innen in einen dahinterliegenden Raum umspringt und bei Kraftentlastung wieder von selbst in die Ausgangslage zurückspringt.
Durch das Springen bzw. Umspringen können Kalkablagerungen an der Strahlscheibe abgelöst werden.
