Abstract
Description
- The subject of the present invention is a delivery assembly for a shower head and, in particular, a delivery assembly that can be mounted, in a removable way, on a shower head diffusor.
- One of the most widespread problems as regards diffusors of showers is represented by lime deposit and in particular lime deposited on the outlet holes for the water. With the passage of time these deposits obstruct the outlet holes, so reducing the efficiency of the diffusor.
- In an attempt to solve this problem, diffusors for showers have been proposed, which are equipped with removable metal nozzles, i.e., ones screwed on a plate element of the diffusor itself. In this way, it is possible to remove each nozzle from the plate to clean or replace it.
- Even though the presence of the nozzles guarantees high performance for the diffusor, and the possibility of their removal enables cleaning of the nozzles and/or their replacement to be carried out, whenever necessary, with this type of diffusor it is possible to intervene only a posteriori, i.e. when the lime is already deposited.
- Cleaning of the nozzle is, moreover, a laborious operation, which requires time and which is frequently ineffective.
-
US-B1-6,250,572 discloses a shower head having a plurality of delivery assemblies according to the preamble ofclaim 1, i.e. a plurality of nozzles made of an elastically deformable material, in particular rubber. The nozzles are held in position by a metal sleeve member projecting from the face plate of the shower head. An object of the present invention is to provide a shower head diffusor which will enable the removal of any lime that may have deposited without removing the nozzles from the plate and which is in any case provided with removable nozzles to enable their replacement. - Another object of the present invention is to provide nozzles for diffusors of showers, the installation and removal of which is simple and immediately understandable and the unit cost of which is lower than that of nozzles for the said purposes currently present on the market.
- The above and other objects are achieved by the present invention, which concerns a delivery assembly according to
claim 1. - The elasticity of the material of which the nozzles are made means that they are elastically deformable, just by passing one's hand over them, in order to break up any lime that may have deposited on them in the gaps between the nozzle and the containment seat, so as to detach the deposit and enable its removal without removing the nozzle from the plate.
- According to a preferential aspect of the present invention, the removable nozzles are made of rubber, i.e., of a material, which, by its very nature, has a high elasticity and on which the lime does not stick.
- According to an advantageous feature of the present invention, the removable nozzle comprises a top flange provided with an outer edge having a thickness greater than the rest of the flange.
- According to another preferential aspect of the present invention, each delivery assembly further comprises a bushing, which is associated to the nozzle and can be inserted at least partially in a through seat made in the plate.
- According to a further advantageous feature of the present invention, the seat and the bushing define a housing for withholding the outer edge of the flange, which can close around the edge itself. In this way, when the bushing and the nozzle are fixed in the seat provided, a grip is obtained around the outer edge, which is of greater thickness, of the flange, which withholds the nozzle securely in position.
- According to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the delivery assembly further comprises a bushing, which is associated to the nozzle and can be inserted in a through seat made in the plate, and a domed or cap-like element with a hole out of which the nozzle comes for covering at least partially the nozzle and the bushing.
- According to this alternative embodiment, the fixing means comprise one first thread, which is set underneath on the bushing and can be engaged with a corresponding thread made inside the cap-like element and at least one second thread, which is set on top of the bushing and can be engaged with a corresponding thread made inside the seat provided in the plate or in a nut.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become more clear from the following description, provided purely by way of illustrative and non-limiting example, with reference to the attached schematic drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of a shower head diffusor provided with two delivery assemblies according to the present invention; -
Figure 2 is an exploded cross-sectional-view of the components of the delivery assembly according to the present invention; -
Figures 3a, 3b, 3c are cross-sectional views of alternative embodiments of the delivery assembly according to the present invention; -
Figures 4a, 4b are cross-sectional views of further alternative embodiments of the delivery assembly according to the present invention, respectively mounted on a plate of small thickness and on a plate of increased thickness; -
Figure 5 is an exploded cross-sectional view of the components of the delivery assembly according to the embodiment illustrated inFigure 4a . -
Figure 1 is a partial cross section of adiffusor 1 for a shower provided with twodelivery assemblies 3 according to the present invention mounted in a removable way on theplate 2 of the diffusor. In detail,Figure 1 is a partial illustration of thebottom plate 2 of adiffusor 1, in which there are mounted, in a removable way, and each in anappropriate seat 4, twodelivery assemblies 3. Eachassembly 3 is provided with anozzle 5 made of elastic material and with special fixing means for anchoring theassembly 3 to theplate 2. Preferably, thenozzle 5 is made of rubber. Rubber is notoriously a material on which lime does not adhere, and for this reason it is frequently used in fields of application which present the same problems. Eachnozzle 5 is inserted from the top down into the throughseat 4, made in theplate 2 of thediffusor 1, and is provided at the top, as may be seen more clearly inFigure 2 , with aflange 6 having an outer edge 7 with a thickness greater than the rest of theflange 6. Theflange 6 of thenozzle 5 resting on the bottom edges 8 of theseat 4, which project radially towards the centre of the seat, withholds thenozzle 5 in theseat 4 whilst the fixing means block the position and ensure tightness thereof. - The
delivery assembly 3 is moreover made up of abushing 9 of dimensions such as to enable its insertion inside theseat 4 for positioning of the nozzle. The fixing means, which block the bushing in the seat, simultaneously ensure fixing of the nozzle in the seat itself. - The
bottom surface 10 of thebushing 9 and the internal bottom surface of the seat are provided with a profile, which defines ahousing 11 for withholding the outer edge 7 of larger thickness of theflange 6 of the nozzle. Consequently, when the delivery assembly made up of thenozzle 5 made of rubber, thebushing 9 and the fixing means is installed in theseat 4 on theplate 2, thebushing 9 and the internal bottom surface of theseat 4, at the edges 8, grip in thehousing 11 for withholding the edge of larger thickness 7, further guaranteeing fixing in position of thenozzle 5. - The
bushing 9 is moreover provided, in a position corresponding to itsside wall 13, with a thread designed to engage with a corresponding thread made on theinternal side wall 14 of theseat 4. - Furthermore, in order to enable the
bushing 9 to be screwed so that it is hidden away inside theseat 4, the latter is provided internally, i.e. in an area corresponding to thepipe 15 for passage of water in the nozzle, with a seat for engagement of an Allen wrench (not illustrated). - In the alternative embodiment illustrated in
Figure 3a , the bushing is not screwed hidden away in theplate 2 of thediffusor 1, but presents, as compared to the latter, when completely screwed in theseat 4, a projectingportion 16. The projectingportion 16 is provided with a hexagonal profile, like a bolt, designed to engage with a wrench for enabling screwing of thebushing 9 inside theseat 4. - In the alternative embodiment illustrated in
Figure 3b instead, thebushing 9 has a longitudinal dimension smaller than the dimensions of theseat 4, and an elastic means is provided as fixing means. - In particular, as fixing means a
spring washer 17 is provided, which acts radially in compression against theside wall 14 of theseat 4 and which, at the same time, bears upon thebushing 9, so preventing any movement thereof. - In the embodiment illustrated in
Figure 3c , theseat 4 in theplate 2 of the diffusor is made in such a way that thebushing 9 and thenozzle 5 are inserted from underneath. Consequently, the restricting edges 8 of the cross section of theseat 4 are made at the top in theplate 2. - According to the above embodiment, the
bushing 9 has a thread on theexternal side wall 13, which is designed to engage with a corresponding thread made on the internalperipheral wall 14 of theseat 4, and a portion projecting at thebottom 18 with respect to theplate 2 with an external hexagonal profile like a bolt. In this case, screwing of thebushing 9 in position is from the bottom upwards, carried out, in a known way, using a wrench on thehexagonal projecting portion 18. In this embodiment, moreover, as illustrated inFigure 3c , thebushing 9 has an internal dimension designed to contain thenozzle 5, which comes out of it at the bottom. With this arrangement of the elements making up thedelivery assembly 3, thehousing 11 for withholding the edge 7 of larger thickness of theflange 6 is made between the internal top surface of theseat 4 and the top surface of thebushing 9. -
Figure 4a illustrates a further alternative embodiment of thedelivery assembly 3 according to the present invention. In particular, in this embodiment thedelivery assembly 3 is made up of abushing 9, which is associated to anozzle 5 made of rubber and can be inserted in theseat 4 of theplate 2 by fixing means and by a domed or cap-shaped element 20. Theelement 20 is provided, as is illustrated more clearly inFigure 5 , with a hole 29 for enabling thenozzle 5 to come out. - The
bushing 9, once again as illustrated inFigures 4a, 4b and5 , has, at the top on theexternal side wall 13, athread 24, which is designed to engage with a corresponding thread (not directly illustrated), made on theinternal side wall 14 of theseat 4. In the proximity of the bottom end of thebushing 9, but at a sufficient distance therefrom, there is aflange 21, which is in turn provided with athread 26 that can be engaged with acorresponding thread 27 made on theinternal side wall 22 of the cap-like element 20. - In this embodiment, the
nozzle 5 is withheld at thebottom edges 28 of the cap-like element 20, the latter being screwed to the bushing and consequently to theplate 2 of the diffusor. Thebushing 9, at the bottom surface of the flange, and the cap-like element 20, at theedges 28 of the hole 29 made for thenozzle 5 to come out, define ahousing 23 for withholding the outer edge 7 with larger profile of theflange 6 of thenozzle 5. Furthermore, to achieve better tightness of thedelivery assembly 3, provided between theflange 21 of thebushing 9 and theplate 2 is a seal or gasket 30 of a known type, generally referred to as O-ring. - This embodiment enables adjustment of the diffusors currently used with metal nozzles to the nozzles made of rubber according to the present invention. For this purpose, it is in fact sufficient to unscrew the metal nozzle from its seat provided on the
plate 2 of the diffusor and to screw in its place thedelivery assembly 3 according to the present invention. In addition, in the case where it is desired to install thenozzle 5 on a plate of a diffusor that is of small thickness, it is sufficient, as illustrated inFigure 4b , to engage the top portion of thebushing 9, i.e. the portion that is obtained - when the delivery assembly is installed - beyond theplate 2 and directed towards the inside of the diffusor, with a threadednut 31.
