Abstract

In the case of this discharge fitting for the sanitary sector, the emerging water jet is assigned one or more light beams, the bundle of rays of which illuminate the immediate surroundings of the emerging water jet and/or the directed water jet itself. In order to avoid electric voltage sources in the discharge fitting, it is provided to feed the required light, from a separate light source (41), via optical fibres (4) into the discharge fitting and to channel the light to light-discharge openings (311) in a base plate (31) of a head piece (4). <IMAGE>

Description

Auslaufarmatur für Wasser Outlet fitting for water

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Auslaufarmatur für Wasser im Sanitärbereich.The invention relates to an outlet fitting for water in the sanitary area.

Derartige Wasserauslaufarmaturen (DE-GM 75 13 071) sind in vielfältigen Formen bekannt. Bei diesen Einrichtungen wird es häufig als nachteilig empfunden, daß gerade der Bereich des austretenden Wasserstrahls von den üblicherweise entfernt angeordneten Lichtquellen nur mangelhaft ausgeleuchtet wird.Such water outlet fittings (DE-GM 75 13 071) are in various Forms known. With these facilities it is often perceived as a disadvantage that just the area of the exiting water jet away from the usual arranged light sources is only poorly illuminated.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Auslaufarmatur zu schaffen, mit der die vorstehend angegebenen Nachteile überwunden werden können.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing an outlet fitting to create with which the disadvantages indicated above can be overcome.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the in the characterizing part of claim 1 specified features solved.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 4 angegeben.Further refinements of the invention are set out in claims 2 to 4 specified.

Mit diesen erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen wird erreicht, daß im unmittelbaren Bereich des austretenden Wasserstrahls und dem bevorzugten Arbeitsraum eine besonders gute Beleuchtung erzielt wird.With these measures according to the invention it is achieved that in the the immediate area of the exiting water jet and the preferred work area particularly good lighting is achieved.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen können gleich gut bei stationär, verschwenkbar oder flexibel in verschiedenen Richtungen bewegbaren Auslaufarmaturen eingesetzt werden.The measures according to the invention can equally well with stationary, pivotable or outlet fittings that can be moved flexibly in different directions will.

Auch kann die Auslaufarmatur separat, z.B. an einem Sanitärgegenstand, befestigt oder auch auf einem Zapf- und/ oder Mischventil angeordnet sein.The outlet fitting can also be used separately, e.g. on a sanitary object, attached or arranged on a tap and / or mixer valve.

Vorteilhaft kann der austretende Wasserstrahl oder der umgebende Raum durch in der Auslaufarmatur angeordneten Lichtleitfasern beleuchtet werden. In diesem Fall kann eine elektrische Lichtquelle völlig außerhalb der Auslaufarmatur angeordnet werden, so daß die häufig, zumindest als problematisch angesehene Anordnung von elektrischen Spannungsquellen in der Wasserauslaufarmatur unterbleiben kann.The exiting water jet or the surrounding space can be advantageous are illuminated by optical fibers arranged in the outlet fitting. In this In the case, an electric light source can be arranged completely outside the outlet fitting be, so that the often, at least regarded as problematic arrangement of electrical voltage sources in the water outlet fitting can be omitted.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung in Form einer separaten Wasserauslaufarmatur mit flexiblem Auslaufrohr in schematischer Weise dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing in the form a separate water outlet fitting with a flexible outlet pipe in a schematic Manner and is explained in more detail below.

Die Auslaufarmatur ist mit einem Sockelteil 5 an einer teilweise dargestellten Waschtischbank 6 befestigt. Koaxial an dem Sockelteil 5 ist ein flexibel verschwenkbares Auslaufrohr 2 angeordnet, indem ein Schlauch 21 eingelagert ist, der einerseits durch das Sockelteil 5 hindurchgeführt und mit einer Wasserzapfleitung (in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt) verbunden ist und andererseits in einem stromabwärts angeordneten Kopfstück 3 in einem Wasserauslaufmundstück 1 einmündet. Das Wasserauslaufmundstück ist dabei zentral in einer Bodenplatte 31 des Kopfstückes angeordnet, wobei kreisförmig um das Wasseraus- laufmundstück Lichtaustrittsöffnungen 311 vorgesehen sind, die huber Lichtleitfasern 4 mit Licht von einer Lichtquelle 41 versorgt werden. Die Lichtquelle 41 ist dabei separat von der Auslaufarmatur angeordnet. Licht wird über ein Kabel 43 mit entsprechenden Zugentlastern 431und einer verdrehbar an dem Sockelteil 5 gehalterten Abgangshülse 42 in die Auslaufarmatur eingeführt. Im Inneren der Auslaufarmatur sind die Lichtleitfasern 4 schraubenförmig um den Schlauch 21 gewickelt bis in das Kopfstück 3 geführt, wo die Lichtleitfasern bzw. Teilbündel der Lichtleitfasern den Lichtaustrittsöffnungen 311 in der Bodenplatte 31 zugeführt und z.B. mit ihr verklebt sind. Durch die schraubenförmige Wicklung der Lichtleitfasern um den Schlauch 21 wird der notwendige Längenausgleich erreicht, der für ein Verbiegen des flexiblen Auslaufrohres 2 erforderlich ist. Daruber hinaus wird durch diese Anordnung eine gegen Beschädigungen sichere Installation der Lichtleitfasern gewährleistet.The outlet fitting is partially shown with a base part 5 on one Vanity bench 6 attached. A flexibly pivotable one is coaxially on the base part 5 Arranged outlet pipe 2 in that a hose 21 is embedded, on the one hand passed through the base part 5 and connected to a water tap (in the drawing not shown) and on the other hand in a downstream one Head piece 3 opens into a water outlet mouthpiece 1. The water outlet mouthpiece is arranged centrally in a base plate 31 of the head piece, being circular around the water outlet Barrel mouthpiece light exit openings 311 are provided which are supplied with light from a light source 41 via optical fibers 4. The light source 41 is arranged separately from the outlet fitting. Light becomes Via a cable 43 with corresponding strain relief 431 and one rotatable on the Base part 5 mounted outlet sleeve 42 introduced into the outlet fitting. Internally of the outlet fitting, the optical fibers 4 are helically around the hose 21 wound up into the head piece 3, where the optical fibers or partial bundles of the optical fibers are fed to the light exit openings 311 in the base plate 31 and e.g. are glued to it. Due to the helical winding of the optical fibers The length compensation necessary for bending is achieved around the hose 21 of the flexible outlet pipe 2 is required. In addition, through this Arrangement ensures safe installation of the optical fibers against damage.

Bei einer entsprechend sicheren Kapselung und Installation kann natürlich auch huber ein Kabel eine elektrische Spannungsquelle in dem Kopfstück 3 zum Betreiben einer oder mehrerer elektrischer Lichtquellen mit z.B. entsprechend ausgebildeten Reflektoren vorgesehen sein, wobei die Bodenplatte 31 aus durchsichtigem Material, wie z.B. Glas oder Plexiglas etc., herzustellen ist.With an appropriately secure encapsulation and installation, of course also via a cable an electrical voltage source in the head piece 3 for operation one or more electrical light sources with, for example, appropriately designed Reflectors may be provided, the base plate 31 made of transparent material, such as glass or plexiglass etc. is to be produced.

Schließlich kann die elektrische Lichtquelle auch automatisch mit dem Öffnen des Zapfventils eingeschaltet und mit dem Schließen ausgeschaltet werden.Finally, the electric light source can also be used automatically switched on when the nozzle is opened and switched off when the nozzle is closed.
