- the flow along the flow path 15 is thus defined by the component 6 serving as valve element and in particular the flattenings 28 in the valve seat 26.
- the serving as a valve element member 6 is pressed with its contact surface 18 against the counter surface 19 on the housing 16. In this open position, the loading surface 20 is acted upon by the pressure built up or prevailing in the flow path 15, so that the component 6 serving as valve element is held in the open position.
- the component 6 serving as a valve element also remains in the open position when the transmission element 9 is left to itself and releases itself from the component 6 designed as a valve element and falls downwards. This holding in the open position takes place as long as water flows in the flow path 15 and the pressure necessary there is established.
- valve seat 26 In the open position, the valve seat 26 has a maximum free inner cross-section, so that the flow rate is increased compared to the closed position.
- a contact surface 18 is thus formed on a valve element (component 6) which can be adjusted in a flow path 15 between an open position and a closed position, which in the open position covers a corresponding, stationary counter-surface 19 and in which Closed position is free, so that the valve element 17 is automatically held by the pressure in the flow path in the open position and returns to pressure in the closed position.
- the functional unit 4 automatically returns after a use to the limiting operation, in which the component 6 serving as valve element in the closed position restricts the flow path 15 more strongly than in the open position.
- the serving as a valve element member 6 can be automatically set durable in the open position, as long as enough water flows in the flow path and thus a sufficient pressure is built up.
- This facilitates the use, since the user can serve as a valve element serving component 6, for example, manually, via the actuating ring 7 and the transmission element 9, manually in the open position, but does not have to hold the valve element serving as a component 6 in this open position.
- This improves the performance characteristics of the sanitary unit 1, at the same time legal requirements, according to which the default setting in normal operation, the flow-limited Attitude to be, is achievable.
- the sanitary units 116, 118 shown in FIGS. 16 and 18 also have a sanitary functional unit 4, which has a functional element 5 designed as a ventilated jet regulator or jet aerator.
- a functional element 5 designed as a ventilated jet regulator or jet aerator.
- the sanitary unit 116 according to FIG. 16 there is the possibility that water can pass from the outflow side between the housing outer wall 16 and the guide inner wall 29.
- the functional unit 4 of the sanitary unit 118 shown in Figure 18 has a jet aerator, the ambient air is sucked in there from the downstream housing end face in the housing interior of the insert housing of the functional unit 4 and takes there between the housing outer wall 16 and the guide inner wall 29 eventually penetrating water ,
- the ambient air in the sanitary unit 118 is sucked through the annular space 30 and along the inner circumference of the guide inner wall 29 into the housing interior of the insertion housing of the functional unit 4, because of the front side of the functional unit 4, as in the region of the reference numeral "8" the functional unit 4 has on its insertion housing peripherally no comparable suction openings.
