Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein selbstentleerendes Duschschlauchsystem.The present invention relates to a self-draining shower hose system.

Hintergrund der Erfindung ist eine zunehmende Forderung, insbesondere aus dem klinischen Bereich, nach hygienischen Duschlösungen. Bisherige Duschschlauchsysteme sind üblicherweise aufgebaut, wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich. Mit einer Wandarmatur 20 ist ein Duschschlauch 50 mit daran montiertem Duschkopf 60 verbunden. Üblicherweise wird der Duschkopf nach beendetem Duschvorgang in einer Wandhalterung 110 abgelegt. Dabei bildet der Duschschlauch 50 zwischen der Wandhalterung 110 und der Wandarmatur 20 einen Bogen aus. Dabei bleibt ein Rest von stehendem Wasser 100 im Duschschlauch 50 zurück. Dieser Umstand wird von den verantwortlichen Hygienikem kritisiert, da sich in diesem stehenden Wasser Keime vermehren können, die möglicherweise abwehrgeschwächte Anwender gefährden könnten. Es entspricht daher den Forderungen der Hygieniker, hier Abhilfe zu schaffen.Background of the invention is an increasing demand, in particular from the clinical area, to hygienic shower solutions. Previous shower hose systems are usually constructed, such as from Fig. 1 can be seen. With a wall fitting 20 is a shower hose 50 connected thereto shower head 60 connected. Usually will the shower head after completion of showering in a wall bracket 110 filed. In this case, the shower hose 50 forms between the wall bracket 110 and the wall fitting 20 a bow. It remains a residue of stagnant water 100 in the shower hose 50 back. This circumstance is criticized by the responsible Hygienikem since In this standing water germs can multiply, possibly vulnerable users could endanger. It corresponds hence the demands of the hygienists to remedy this situation.

Demgemäß ist es die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein selbstentleerendes Duschschlauchsystem anzugeben, welches sich nach Benutzung selbstständig und vollständig entleert.Accordingly, it is the object of the present invention to provide a self-draining Indicate shower hose system, which after Use independently and completely emptied.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Duschschlauchsystem, welches aufweist:

  • ein mit einem Schenkel mit einer Wandarmatur verbindbares Ventilstück, dessen anderer Schenkel im wesentlichen waagerecht von der Wandarmatur abragt, wobei das Ventilstück im durchströmten Zustand mindestens eine in seiner Umfangswand vorhandene Belüftungsöffnung schließt und bei nachlassender Strömung öffnet,
  • eine mit dem waagerecht von der Wandarmatur abragenden Schenkel verbundenen Duschschlauch mit Duschkopf, und
  • eine an dem Duschschlauch und/oder Duschkopf angreifende Hub- Senkvorrichtung, die den Duschschlauch und/oder Duschkopf so weit absenken kann, dass ein normaler Duschvorgang möglich ist, und die den Duschschlauch und/oder Duschkopf nach Beendigung des Duschvorganges soweit anhebt, dass im Duschschlauch verbliebenes Wasser über die Belüftungsöffnung im Ventilstück und/oder über den Duschkopf abfließen kann.
This object is achieved by a shower hose system, which has:
  • a valve piece which can be connected to a leg with a wall fitting, the other leg of which protrudes essentially horizontally from the wall fitting, wherein the valve piece in the flow-through state closes at least one ventilation opening present in its peripheral wall and opens when the flow decreases;
  • a shower hose with shower head connected to the leg projecting horizontally from the wall fitting, and
  • an attacking on the shower hose and / or shower head lifting lowering device that can lower the shower hose and / or shower head so far that a normal showering is possible, and the shower hose and / or shower head after completion of the shower process so far raises that in the shower hose Remaining water can flow through the ventilation opening in the valve piece and / or over the shower head.

Das erwähnte Ventilstück kann ein an sich bekannter L-förmiger Rohrbelüfter sein. Denkbar ist auch ein Einsatz einer Venturi-Düse.The mentioned valve piece can be a per se known L-shaped pipe aerator be. It is also conceivable to use a Venturi nozzle.

Ein Rohrbelüfter arbeitet ganz ähnlich wie ein Fahrradventil. Im durchströmten Zustand legt sich aufgrund des Innendrucks eine Gummimembran, etwa in Form eines Schlauchstückes, fest auf Bohrungen (Belüftungsbohrungen) in der Außenhülse. Bei nachlassendem Druck zieht sich die Membran wieder zusammen und gibt die Belüftungsöffnungen in der Außenhülse frei. Die Hub- Senkvorrichtung bewirkt, dass entweder das Ventilstück oder aber der Duschkopf der tiefste Teil des Gesamtsystems wird, so dass das Wasser im Duschschlauch restlos auslaufen kann. Einer Keimbildung in stehendem Wasser in herkömmlichen Duschschlauchsystemen wird so vorbeugend entgegengewirkt und so den Anforderungen der Hygieniker Rechnung getragen.A pipe aerator works much like a bicycle valve. In the flowed through State puts a rubber membrane due to the internal pressure, in the form of a piece of tubing, fixed to holes (Ventilation holes) in the outer sleeve. With decreasing pressure the membrane contracts again and gives the ventilation openings free in the outer sleeve. The lifting lowering device causes that either the valve piece or the shower head of the deepest part of the overall system, so that the water in the shower hose can run out completely. A germination in stagnant water in Conventional shower hose systems are thus preventative counteracted and so the requirements of hygienists bill carried.

Die Hub- Senkvorrichtung kann gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ein an der Duschwand befestigter Aufrollmechanismus sein. Dieser Aufrollmechanismus weist vorzugsweise eine auf einer Winde aufrollbare Kordel auf, die mit dem Duschschlauch und/oder dem Duschkopf verbunden ist. Die Winde kann federbelastet sein, so dass der Duschschlauch bei Beendigung des Duschvorganges automatisch in die erhöhte Position gezogen wird.The lifting lowering device can according to a preferred embodiment a roll-up mechanism attached to the shower screen be. This roll-up mechanism preferably has one on one Winch roll-up drawstring on with the shower hose and / or connected to the shower head. The winch may be spring loaded, so that the shower hose at the end of the shower process automatically pulled into the raised position.

In diesem Fall kann die Kordel direkt mit dem Duschschlauch oder Duschkopf verbunden sein oder aber mittelbar über einen Halter Dieser Halter kann optional auch auf dem Schlauch verschiebbar sein.In this case, the cord can be directly connected to the shower hose or Shower head be connected or indirectly via a holder This Holder can optionally be slidable on the hose.

Alternativ kann die Hub- und Senkvorrichtung als ein hydraulisch betätigbares Element ausgebildet sein. Diese Ausführungsform ist freilich sehr viel aufwendiger als die Ausbildung als Aufrollmechanismus.Alternatively, the lifting and lowering device as a hydraulic be formed actuatable element. This embodiment is Of course much more complicated than training as a retractor mechanism.

Der erwähnte Halter kann im übrigen auch als starres Zwischenteil zwischen zwei Duschschlauchhälften ausgebildet sein. Entscheidend bei alledem ist, dass der Schlauch so angehoben wird, dass das im Duschschlauch noch befindliche Wasser entweder über das Ventilstück oder über den Duschkopf ablaufen kann, so dass der Schlauch vollständig entleert ist.The mentioned holder can also be used as a rigid intermediate part be formed between two shower hose halves. critical all this means that the hose is raised so that the in Shower hose remaining water either over the valve piece or can drain over the shower head, leaving the hose completely is emptied.

Die Erfindung wird anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles gemäß der Zeichnungsfiguren näher erläutert.The invention is based on an embodiment according to the Drawing figures explained in more detail.

Im Schenkel 4 sind Belüftungsöffnungen eingebracht, welche beispielsweise durch eine Membran abdichtbar sind, derart, dass sie im durchströmten Zustand des Schenkels 4 die Belüftungsöffnungen schließen. Bei keiner oder eventuell nachlassender Strömung öffnen die Belüftungsöffnungen und Wasser kann aus diesen Öffnungen abfließen. Mit dem Schenkel 4 ist ein Duschschlauch 5 mit Duschkopf 6 verbunden.2, a valve piece is on a commercial wall fitting 2 1 attached. This is present as L-shaped pipe aerator illustrated with a attached to the wall fitting 2 leg 3, and another leg 4, which is horizontal from the wall fitting 2 protrudes. In the leg 4 ventilation openings are introduced, which For example, by a membrane are sealable, such that they are in flowed through state of the leg 4, the ventilation openings shut down.

The user can work in conventionally shower with this system.

    Nach Beendigung des Duschvorganges (Fig. 3) bewirkt der Aufrollmechanismus 7 ein Anheben des Duschschlauches 5 und gegebenenfalls des Duschkopfes 6. Wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt bewirkt dies, dass in dem Duschschlauch 5 noch verbliebenes Wasser über das Ventilstück 1 abfließen kann, da die Belüftungsöffnungen nun geöffnet sind. Gleichfalls kann Wasser über den Duschkopf 6 abfließen. Dies ist in Fig. 3 schematisch am Ventilstück 1 und am Duschkopf 6 dargestellt.After completion of the showering process (Fig. 3) causes the reeling mechanism 7 a lifting of the shower hose 5 and optionally of the shower head 6. As shown in Fig. 3, this causes in the shower hose 5 remaining water over the valve piece 1 can drain, since the ventilation openings are now open. Likewise, water can drain over the shower head 6. This is in Fig. 3 schematically shown on the valve piece 1 and the shower head 6.

    Das erfindungsgemäße Duschschlauchsystem kann an allen handelsüblichen Wandarmaturen angebracht werden.
