Description
Mit den vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen wird mit einfachen Mitteln eine Entfernung der sich im wesentlichen am Austrittsende der als Strahlbildner wirkenden Nuten - da in erheblichem Maße nur im Bereich der Umgebungsluft ein Eintrocknen des Brausewassers möglich ist - entstehenden Kalkverkrustungen ermöglicht. Das erfindungsgemäße Ringelement kann sowohl an einem ortsfest im Gehäuse des Brausekopfes angeordneten Bodenteils angeordnet werden als auch an einem Bodenteil, welches axial zum Gehäuse des Brausekopfes bewegbar ist, um beispielsweise das Strahlbild des Brausekopfes zu verändern und/oder den Querschnitt der einzelnen Brausestrahlen zu verändern, so daß beispielsweise unterschiedlich harte Brausestrahlen erzeugt werden können.
Der mit dem Ringelement zusammenwirkende Bohrungsteil des Brausekopfes kann hierbei ebenfalls mit einem gummielastischen Werkstoff ausgekleidet sein.
Auch kann der Bodenteil insgesamt aus einem gummielastischen Werkstoff hergestellt werden, wobei dann der Tragbereich des Bodenteils - um die erforderliche Starrheit aufzuweisen - entsprechend dickwandig ausgebildet ist und/oder aus starrem Werkstoff, wie etwa Metall, hergestellte Tragkörper in dem Bodenteil vorgesehen (einvulkanisiert)werden.

Bei der Position des Hohlkolbens 14 in der linken Bildhälfte gelangt das durch die Radialöffnungen 131 in den Hohlzylinder 13 einströmende Wasser über die Axialschlitze 1410 in einen Ringraum oberhalb des Bodenteils 2 und von hier in die einzelnen, über den Außenmantel des Ringelements 3 verteilten Nuten 33 und wird hier als Kranz von einzelnen Brausestrahlen abgegeben. Wird nun der Hohlkolben 14 von seiner in der linken Bildhälfte dargestellten Position durch eine Schraubbewegung mit dem Drehring 15 abgesenkt, so wird im gleichen Maße auch der Bodenteil 2 mit dem Ringelement 3 aus der Bohrung 16 des Drehrings 15 herausgeschoben. Hierdurch wird der Austrittsquerschnitt der Nuten 33 vergrößert, da die Grundfläche 310 gegen die Mittelachse 10 geneigt ist, so daß dadurch die Austrittsgeschwindigkeit der einzelnen Brausestrahlen entsprechend verringert wird und das Strahlbild der Brause insgesamt weicher ausfällt. Wird dagegen der Hohlkolben 14 an den Radialöffnungen 131 vorbeigeführt, so wird die Wasserzufuhr zu den Nuten 33 abgesperrt und das zufließende Wasser allein über die zentrale Düse 210 abgegeben.
Selbstverständlich kann aber auch das Ringelement 3 aus einem anderen geeigneten gummielastischen Werkstoff hergestellt sein und an der Mantelfläche des aus einem geeigneten Werkstoff hergestellten Bodenteils 2 anvulkanisiert oder angeklebt werden. Auch kann der Bodenteil 2 mit einer umlaufenden Ringnut versehen werden, in die ein am Ringelement 3 umlaufender, innerer Ringbund in der Stecklage einschnappt, so daß das Ringelement 3 in axialer Richtung formschlüssig vom Bodenteil 2 gehalten wird.
