Definitions

  • shower heads contain water ducts that come from the Lead the incoming water hose to the jet openings, which are arranged in the jet disc. Because of the variety of different jet types with ventilated jets, Massage jets and the like. And through the switching devices the water channels in the shower heads are becoming more and more complicated. This causes that from the beam exit openings escaping water is strongly swirled. This in turn means that there is no optically appealing Forms a spray pattern.
  • a shower head It is known for a shower head to have a base part Provide water passage openings made of an elastic Material consists (DE-A1 4406966). To remove A head start is made easier by lime deposits through the beam outlet, from the outside can be touched and deformed.
  • the invention has for its object to a shower head create where the out of the beam outlet openings escaping water jets an optically appealing spray pattern exhibit.
  • the invention proposes a shower head with the features of claim 1. Training the invention are the subject of the dependent claims, the Wording as well as the wording of the summary Reference is made to the content of the description.
  • the invention can be a optically appealing and less splashing shower spray can be achieved.
  • the division of the cross-section can, for example, thereby happen that the beam smoothing agent at least one Partition has, which is in the flow direction over a certain route stretches.
  • You can also have multiple partitions be provided.
  • the multiple partitions can, for example can be arranged parallel to each other or as a cross.
  • the invention proposes that the Arrangement of several partition walls arranged in a star shape so that the individual beam parts are about the same size Have cross-section.
  • the beam smoothing agent arranged in the beam outlet opening itself becomes.
  • the jet smoothing agent in the flow direction in front of the respective beam outlet is arranged. This has the advantage that the outlet cross section the beam outlet opening is not reduced is, so that the risk of calcification is not increased becomes.
  • the beam smoothing agent extending over at least the length of the beam exit opening forming bore extends. The longer that Jet smoothing agent is seen in the flow direction, the more the calming of the jet is stronger.
  • Jet smoothing agent longer than the jet outlet opening is, especially if the jet smoothing agent already before opening.
  • the beam smoothing agent attached to the spray disc itself in particular with a plastic spray disc this is molded.
  • the jet smoothing agent formed on a separate component is that can be arranged in the shower head in such a way that the jet smoothing agent influences the jet outlet opening.
  • the beam smoothing agent in a channel leading to the beam outlet opening is arranged.
  • Fig. 1 shows a view of a shower head with an arched Spray disc 1.
  • the shower head contains a housing 2 and a handle, not shown in the figure, if it is in a hand shower.
  • the invention is but not limited to hand showers, but affects in in the same way also overhead showers, side showers and the like.
  • an insert 6 held which is annular, since the Beam outlet openings 3 arranged along a ring are.
  • the insert 6 contains on its outward facing in Fig. 1 lower side partitions 7, which in the direction of the escaping water.
  • the partitions 7 are on molded on the insert 6, the insert 6 in Direction of flow seen in front of the partitions 8 has.
  • the Component 4 formed a kind of channel in which the partitions 7 to come to lie.
  • the water first flows through the openings 8 of the insert 6 and then through the beam outlet 3. In the area between the openings 8 and the jet outlet opening 3, the water flows in three parallel channels, the cross section of which is approximately the sector of a Circle corresponds. When exiting the beam exit openings 3 this creates a smooth, calm beam.
  • the component 6 is an annular flat disc with trained everywhere with the same thickness and with groups of Openings 8 provided.
  • the partition walls 7 are arranged.
  • the partitions can also be in the openings 8 itself be arranged.
  • Each three partitions 7 are in Formed a star with a circular hub 10.
  • Fig. 3 shows the top view of the insert 6 from the Direction in which the water goes to the radiation outlet openings 3 streams.
  • the groups of openings 8 are arranged as is the case with the groups of radiation outlet openings 3 Spray disc 1 corresponds.
  • Spray disc 1 corresponds.
  • the beam smoothing agent used in the illustrated embodiment the partition walls (7) is designed so that the water channels are limited by rigid side walls are.
  • the partitions are therefore made of rigid plastic and have a smooth surface. You should not be deformed by the flowing water.
