Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower head for a sanitary fitting with a plurality of jet outlet elements, which output the shower water as a discharge jet in a defined direction.
  • the invention is based on the object to provide a shower head that can be used more varied and easier to use.
  • the invention proposes a shower head for a sanitary fitting with the features mentioned in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
  • jet outlet elements While in the prior art in the side shower only a number of jet outlet elements is present, the shower head according to the invention on jet outlet elements, which are arranged in a surface. These jet outlet elements are adjustable in at least two directions, which enclose an angle with each other, for example an angle of 90 °.
  • the adjustment can be made by attacking the user to the housing of the shower head itself, so that an additional lever or actuator is unnecessary, which could disturb the appearance of the shower head housing.
  • the direction in which the jet outlet elements can be adjusted with their exit jets, according to the invention may be specified in a further development by a forced operation.
  • the surface in which the jet outlet elements are arranged may have any shape. It is particularly favorable, however, if this surface is a flat surface.
  • the jet outlet elements emit the exit jets in a defined direction, which is particularly important in an arrangement of the jet outlet elements in a surface
  • the jet outlet elements are designed as nipples, which have an outlet channel to a jet outlet opening leads. Through the channel, a careful alignment of the direction of the exit jets takes place.
  • the jet outlet elements ie in particular the nipples are pivotally mounted in the shower head.
  • the jet outlet elements By the common pivoting of the jet outlet elements so the direction of the water jets can be changed together.
  • the jet outlet elements are formed or formed on a membrane of elastomeric material.
  • This membrane can also perform sealing functions.
  • jet outlet elements are nipples, it can be provided according to the invention that they pass through openings in a pane arranged in the shower head, which is slidably guided relative to the remaining part of the shower head and whose displacement determines or changes the direction of the exit jets.
  • the openings in the disc must therefore be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the nipple, so that actually takes place by the displacement of a change in the direction of the nipple.
  • the showerhead housing can be additionally covered by an outer cover, which is designed according to aesthetic or design considerations.
  • the showerhead housing according to the invention can be formed flat construction as a flat shower, for example with a square end face.
  • the invention proposes to design the adjustment of the direction so that a once set direction is maintained.
  • a neutral or zero position can be provided, which can be determined by a detent or the like for the user.
  • FIG. 1 leads from the back of a connecting piece 1, which serves for connection to a water pipe.
  • the showerhead housing contains a chamber 2, which is delimited by a rear wall 3 and an approximately parallel to this front wall 4.
  • a membrane 5 On the inside of the front wall 4 is a membrane 5 at.
  • jet outlet elements 6 On the membrane 5 jet outlet elements 6 are formed in the form of elongated nipples 7. These protrude forward through the front wall 4.
  • a frame 8 is formed around the chamber 2 formed between the rear wall 3 and the front wall 4.
  • connection piece 1 opposite a perforated disc 9 is arranged in front of the front wall 4, which in the direction of their own level in FIG. 1 is arranged to the right and left and up and down slidably.
  • the perforated disc 9 contains for each jet outlet element an opening which is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the respective nipple 7. In the position which the perforated disc 9 in FIG. 1 assumes all the nipples 7 are shifted so that their front end, which forms the jet outlet opening, is farther left than their connection to the membrane 5. Push the perforated disc 9 from the position of FIG. 1 to the right, so get the nipple 7 in the FIG. 2 shown position.
  • a cover 10 is arranged, which covers the perforated disc 9 to the front and around.
  • a number of fixing elements 11 is provided for connecting the perforated disc 9 with the rest of the showerhead housing, which have a nut-like head
  • These elements 11 protrude from the unit formed by the rear wall 3, front wall 4 and frame 8 forward through openings 13 in the perforated disc 9.
  • These openings 13 of the perforated disc 9 are in FIG. 4 shown on an enlarged scale.
  • Each opening 13 has the shape of two crossing ovals, the ovals being provided with parallel sides. This makes it possible to limit the direction of displacement of the perforated disc 9 in two mutually perpendicular directions, as well as the extent of displacement.
  • the perforated disc 9 in addition to the openings 13 for the fixing elements 11 and openings 14 for the passage of the nipple 7 of the jet outlet elements 6.
  • FIG. 5 shows a front view of the shower head housing with removed cover 10. In view so the perforated plate 9 can be seen, which is in the position shown here in a middle position. To establish serve, as already mentioned, four fixing means 11, the hexagonal heads in FIG. 5 you can see.
  • FIG. 6 shows simplified cross-section along line VI-VI in FIG. 5 ,
  • hollow projections 20 are formed, see also FIG. 7 ,
  • plungers 21 are housed, which are acted upon by a compression spring 22 from the hollow projection 20 out.
  • the plungers 21 have a rounded front, with which they are acted upon against the back of the perforated plate 9.
  • recesses 23 are formed, in which the hollow projections 20 engage.
  • Centrally formed on the bottom 24 of each recess 23 are part-spherical recesses 25 formed with the rounded front of the plungers 21 cooperate.
  • FIG. 7 shows the engagement of the pressure piece 21 in a central recess 25 corresponding to a middle or zero position of the perforated disc 9 and thus a zero position of the direction of the water jets emerging from the nipples 7.
  • the depressions 25, which are larger in size FIG. 7 are shown, also in the Figures 1 and 2 detect.
