Definitions
- the invention relates to a shower head with a switch between two beam exit options, as the beam or the beams can be discharged from the shower head.
- buttons on the shower head housing are known, which can be actuated, for example, radially inward. It is also known to provide rotary rings that can touch a user and operate by turning.
- the Utility Model DE 20 2010 005 256 U1 discloses a hand shower in which the jet disc forms the bottom portion of a chamber provided in a shower head chamber with one or more chamber areas and the chamber is mounted together with jet disk in the shower head housing as a rocker for selectively setting one of several possible beam shapes.
- Each jet shape corresponds to a specific rocking position of the jet disk with its interior adjoining chamber relative to the shower head housing.
- the jet disk takes a different position for each of the different possible beam shapes.
- the patent US 5,467,927 A discloses a hand shower that can switch between two possible beam shapes.
- a jet disk of the hand shower can be pressed axially against the force of a return spring from a starting position relative to the showerhead housing axially backwards or inwards and then held in this depressed position. Once the jet disc is released, it returns to its original position, which returns the hand shower to its original position Beam shape is switched.
- the publication DE 198 59 524 A1 discloses an apparatus for switching jet types in a showerhead by applying force to an actuator coupled to a jet type actuator mechanism.
- the actuator is operable in relation to the shower head by radially directed in a plane forces and, for example, formed by a shower head surrounding the adjusting ring, which is held radially displaceable on radially acting return springs on the shower head.
- the invention is based on the object to provide a very easy-to-use way to switch between different beam exit options on a shower head.
- the invention proposes a shower head with the features specified in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
- the jet disk itself or the shower head acts as an actuating element.
- the jet disc is usually quite flat or slightly curved, so that the risk of slipping with soapy fingers is not given.
- the jet disk is large in most cases, so it is easy to find. This results in a new and useful way to operate a switching device within the shower head. According to the invention it is provided that the jet disc returns to its starting position after the actuation of the switching device. To re-actuate the switching device, the jet disk is pressed again.
- the switching device is formed as a continuous switching device, so that it is switched to each next operation of the jet disk in the next position, so no back-and-forth takes place, but an indexing. This is especially useful if more than two beam exit options are provided.
- the switching device can thus affect, for example, a valve to an air intake. It can be provided that the beam or the plurality Rays then emerge from the same opening.
- a second water guide is opened by the switching device, so that the rays exit after actuation of a larger number of jet outlet openings.
- a saving position in which the jets emerge from only every second jet outlet opening, while they then emerge after switching from all the jet outlet openings.
- the invention proposes several ways in which the switching device can be actuated by the pressure exerted by the user on the jet disk.
- the jet disk is designed to be displaceable relative to the shower head housing and acts on the switching device, for example a valve, directly or via a transmission by means of this displacement.
- the valve may be any known valve of conventional design.
- showerhead housing is designed to be displaceable relative to the input connection together with the jet disk. By this shift is then also acted directly or via a transmission to the switching device.
- a linear movement along the longitudinal axis of the shower head or along a perpendicular bisector with respect to the jet disk is preferred.
- the jet disk is deformable, so that therefore the pressure exerted by the user on the jet disk leads to a deformation of the jet disk, which regresses again after release. Due to the deformability, which may also be localized, the user can act on the valve device, for example on a plunger of the valve device.
- Yet another possibility proposed by the invention to actuate the switching device by engaging the jet disk, may be that the jet disk is tiltably mounted in the housing. This can be both a tilt about a fixed axis, as well as a tilt around a central point-shaped support point.
- the jet disk remains in the shifted position until it returns to its original position triggered by a second tap or press.
- FIG. 1 shows in perspective a shower head, which can be screwed by means of an input terminal 1 at the end of a water pipe.
- the input terminal has two wrench flats 2.
- the input terminal 1 is mechanically connected to a showerhead housing 3, which has an approximately hemispherical outer shape and is closed off by a jet disk 4 to the front side, ie on the side facing away from the input terminal 1.
- a jet disk 4 In the jet disk 4 there are two rows of concentrically arranged jet outlet openings 5, and in the middle a second group of jet outlet openings 6.
- the jet disk 4 is displaceably mounted in the showerhead housing 3 in the direction of the input connection 1, that is to say in the direction of an axis of rotation of the showerhead housing 3. This displacement can be performed by the user both during the operation of the shower head and when it is not supplied with water. This is indicated by the arrow 7 in FIG. 2 shown.
- the user presses to switch to the jet disk 4, which then can move into the showerhead housing 3 into it. This is in FIG. 2 shown.
- the disk 4 moves back into the position of FIG. 1 under the influence of a compression spring arranged in the shower head housing FIG. 3 is shown.
- the showerhead housing 3 is pivotably mounted on the spherical-shaped inner end 8 of the input terminal.
- the jet disk 4 has a transverse wall 9 at a distance from the rear side of its front wall. Between the transverse wall 9 and the front wall of the jet disk, a peripheral channel 10 is formed as an outer chamber, from which the in FIG. 1 lead out the beam exit openings 5 mentioned. This channel 10 is bounded on the one hand by an outer skirt 11 of the jet disk 4 and by an inner skirt 12. Within the inner skirt 12, a second chamber 13 is formed, from which the water can flow out of the showerhead housing 3 through the exit possibility 6.
- a wall 15 is installed parallel to the jet disk 4, pass through the two passages 16, of which the FIG. 4 only one of the passes shows.
- a passage 14 of the transverse wall 9 engages with a tubular projection in each case a passage 16 of the wall 15 a.
- a valve element 17 lying on the back of the wall 15 is rotatably mounted in the wall 15, wherein a switching mechanism with cooperating inclined surfaces is formed in the passage.
- the valve member 17 is applied by a compression spring 18 on the back of the wall 15.
- a valve opening 19 is present, which is aligned in the position shown with the passage 16.
- the jet disk 4 is characterized, see FIG. 5 , moved so far in the shower head housing 3 until the transverse wall 9 of the jet disk 4 rests against the wall 15.
- the valve element 17 is also raised by the mentioned reversing mechanism with inclined surfaces, so that the valve element 17 is no longer abutting against the inside of the wall 15.
- the compression spring 18 pushes the jet disk 4 back into the starting position via a plunger 20, and at the same time the valve element 17 twists due to the arrangement of the inclined surfaces. In the then adjusting position, see FIG.
- valve member 17 is again on the inside of the plate 15, but this time its valve opening 19 is aligned with the other passage 16 through the wall 15 and with the other passage 14 through the transverse wall 9.
- a water supply between the inlet port 1 and the inner chamber 13 made.
- the jet disk 4 is connected to the showerhead housing 23.
- the jet disk 4 is provided on the inside of its transverse wall 9 with a telescopic guide device.
- This consists of a cylindrical projection on the back of the transverse wall 9 and a cylindrical projection engaging in this cylindrical projection of an input terminal 1 connected to the intermediate element.
- a wall 25 is installed, which has two passage openings 26, of which a passage opening 26 communicates with a connection 24, which leads into an inner chamber 33 of the jet disk.
- the other passage opening 26 is in communication with a nozzle 24 which leads into the outer chamber 10 of the jet disk 4.
- the valve element 27, see also the FIG. 9 covers the one passage 26 in the position shown.
- the other passage 26 is open. The water flows out of the middle chamber 33 of the jet disk 4 through the opening provided there to the outside.
- valve member 27 is lifted from the plate 25.
- the spring pushes the jet disk 4 back together with the showerhead housing 23 into its starting position, at the same time the valve element 27 is twisted and lowered.
- the valve element 27 covers the other passage 26, the water now flows through the in FIG. 13 Right passage 26 shown in the outer chamber 10 of the jet disk 4. The switching is done.
- the invention proposes a shower head, in particular for a fixed installed shower, for example, an overhead shower before.
- the shower head has different possibilities of leakage of water from the jet disk.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Brausekopf mit einer Umschaltmöglichkeit zwischen zwei Strahlaustrittsmöglichkeiten, wie der Strahl oder die Strahlen aus dem Brausekopf abgegeben werden können.The invention relates to a shower head with a switch between two beam exit options, as the beam or the beams can be discharged from the shower head.
Es ist bekannt, dass aus Brauseköpfen zwei unterschiedliche Strahlarten abgegeben werden können, beispielsweise ein weicher belüfteter Strahl und ein harter Massagestrahl. Eine weitere bekannte Möglichkeit besteht darin, dass die Zahl der aktiven Strahlaustrittsöffnungen verändert werden kann. Hierzu ist eine Umschalteinrichtung erforderlich, die manuell betätigt werden muss.It is known that two different spray types can be dispensed from shower heads, for example a soft ventilated jet and a hard massage jet. Another known possibility is that the number of active jet outlet openings can be changed. For this purpose, a switching device is required, which must be operated manually.
Zur Betätigung solcher Umstelleinrichtungen sind Drucktasten am Brausekopfgehäuse bekannt, die beispielsweise radial nach innen betätigt werden können. Ebenfalls bekannt ist es, Drehringe vorzusehen, die ein Benutzer anfassen und durch Drehen betätigen kann.To actuate such changeover push buttons on the shower head housing are known, which can be actuated, for example, radially inward. It is also known to provide rotary rings that can touch a user and operate by turning.
Bei fest installierten Brausen, beispielsweise Kopfbrausen, kann das Problem bestehen, dass ein Benutzer das Betätigungselement für die Umstelleinrichtung nicht auf den ersten Anhieb findet. Dies gilt speziell auch dann, wenn der Benutzer die Hände eingeseift hat und damit von Betätigungselementen eventuell abrutscht.For fixed installed showers, such as overhead showers, the problem may exist that a user does not find the actuating element for the changeover device at the first attempt. This is especially true even if the user has soaped his hands and thus may slip off of actuators.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine sehr einfach zu betätigende Möglichkeit zum Umschalten zwischen verschiedenen Strahlaustrittsmöglichkeiten an einem Brausekopf zu schaffen.The invention is based on the object to provide a very easy-to-use way to switch between different beam exit options on a shower head.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung einen Brausekopf mit den im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen vor. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a shower head with the features specified in
Erfindungsgemäß fungiert die Strahlscheibe selbst bzw. der Brausekopf als Betätigungselement. Die Strahlscheibe ist meistens ziemlich flach oder leicht gewölbt, so dass die Gefahr des Abrutschens mit seifigen Fingern nicht gegeben ist. Die Strahlscheibe ist darüber hinaus in den meisten Fällen groß, so dass sie leicht zu finden ist. Damit ergibt sich eine neue und sinnvolle Art, eine Umschalteinrichtung innerhalb des Brausekopfs zu betätigen. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die Strahlscheibe nach der Betätigung der Umschalteinrichtung in ihre Ausgangsposition zurückkehrt. Zur nochmaligen Betätigung der Umschalteinrichtung wird die Strahlscheibe erneut gedrückt.According to the invention, the jet disk itself or the shower head acts as an actuating element. The jet disc is usually quite flat or slightly curved, so that the risk of slipping with soapy fingers is not given. In addition, the jet disk is large in most cases, so it is easy to find. This results in a new and useful way to operate a switching device within the shower head. According to the invention it is provided that the jet disc returns to its starting position after the actuation of the switching device. To re-actuate the switching device, the jet disk is pressed again.
Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung ist die Umschalteinrichtung als Fortschalteinrichtung ausgebildet, so dass sie nach jeder Betätigung der Strahlscheibe in die nächste Position umgeschaltet wird, also kein Hin- und Herschalten erfolgt, sondern ein Weiterschalten. Dies ist speziell dann sinnvoll, wenn mehr als zwei Strahlaustrittsmöglichkeiten vorgesehen sind.According to a further aspect of the invention, the switching device is formed as a continuous switching device, so that it is switched to each next operation of the jet disk in the next position, so no back-and-forth takes place, but an indexing. This is especially useful if more than two beam exit options are provided.
Ein Beispiel der unterschiedlichen Strahlaustrittsmöglichkeiten besteht darin, dass dem Strahl durch Betätigen der Umschalteinrichtung Luft hinzugefügt wird, die an irgendeiner geeigneten Stelle angesaugt wird. Hier kann die Umschalteinrichtung also z.B. ein Ventil zu einer Luftansaugöffnung beeinflussen. Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Strahl bzw. die mehreren Strahlen dann auch aus der gleichen Öffnung austreten.An example of the different jet exit possibilities is that air is added to the jet by actuation of the switching device, which is sucked in at any suitable location. Here, the switching device can thus affect, for example, a valve to an air intake. It can be provided that the beam or the plurality Rays then emerge from the same opening.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, dass durch die Umschalteinrichtung eine zweite Wasserführung geöffnet wird, so dass die Strahlen nach Betätigen aus einer größeren Zahl von Strahlaustrittsöffnungen austreten. Beispielsweise könnte man eine Sparstellung vorsehen, bei der die Strahlen aus nur jeder zweiten Strahlaustrittsöffnung austreten, während sie nach dem Umschalten dann aus allen Strahlaustrittsöffnungen austreten.Another possibility is that a second water guide is opened by the switching device, so that the rays exit after actuation of a larger number of jet outlet openings. For example, one could provide a saving position, in which the jets emerge from only every second jet outlet opening, while they then emerge after switching from all the jet outlet openings.
Die Erfindung schlägt mehrere Möglichkeiten vor, wie durch den durch den Benutzer ausgeübten Druck auf die Strahlscheibe die Umschalteinrichtung betätigt werden kann.The invention proposes several ways in which the switching device can be actuated by the pressure exerted by the user on the jet disk.
Eine erste Möglichkeit ist die, dass die Strahlscheibe gegenüber dem Brausekopfgehäuse verschiebbar ausgebildet ist und durch diese Verschiebung direkt oder über ein Getriebe auf die Umschalteinrichtung, beispielsweise ein Ventil, einwirkt.A first possibility is that the jet disk is designed to be displaceable relative to the shower head housing and acts on the switching device, for example a valve, directly or via a transmission by means of this displacement.
Bei dem Ventil kann es sich um ein beliebiges bekanntes Ventil üblicher Bauart handeln.The valve may be any known valve of conventional design.
Eine weitere von der Erfindung vorgeschlagene Möglichkeit besteht darin, dass das Brausekopfgehäuse zusammen mit der Strahlscheibe gegenüber dem Eingangsanschluss verschiebbar ausgebildet ist. Durch diese Verschiebung wird dann ebenfalls direkt oder über ein Getriebe auf die Umschalteinrichtung eingewirkt.Another possibility proposed by the invention is that the showerhead housing is designed to be displaceable relative to the input connection together with the jet disk. By this shift is then also acted directly or via a transmission to the switching device.
Bevorzugt ist eine lineare Bewegung entlang der Längsachse des Brausekopfs bzw. entlang einer Mittelsenkrechten bezüglich der Strahlscheibe.A linear movement along the longitudinal axis of the shower head or along a perpendicular bisector with respect to the jet disk is preferred.
Eine weitere von der Erfindung vorgeschlagene Möglichkeit besteht darin, dass die Strahlscheibe verformbar ist, so dass also der vom Benutzer ausgeübte Druck auf die Strahlscheibe zu einer Verformung der Strahlscheibe führt, die sich nach Loslassen wieder zurückbildet. Durch die Verformbarkeit, die auch örtlich begrenzt sein kann, kann der Benutzer auf die Ventileinrichtung einwirken, beispielsweise auf einen Stößel der Ventileinrichtung.Another possibility proposed by the invention is that the jet disk is deformable, so that therefore the pressure exerted by the user on the jet disk leads to a deformation of the jet disk, which regresses again after release. Due to the deformability, which may also be localized, the user can act on the valve device, for example on a plunger of the valve device.
Eine nochmals weitere von der Erfindung vorgeschlagene Möglichkeit, durch Angreifen an der Strahlscheibe die Umschalteinrichtung zu betätigen, kann darin bestehen, dass die Strahlscheibe in dem Gehäuse verkippbar gelagert ist. Dabei kann es sich sowohl um eine Verkippung um eine feste Achse handeln, als auch um eine Verkippung um eine zentrale punktförmige Abstützstelle.Yet another possibility proposed by the invention, to actuate the switching device by engaging the jet disk, may be that the jet disk is tiltably mounted in the housing. This can be both a tilt about a fixed axis, as well as a tilt around a central point-shaped support point.
Je nach Art der Anordnung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Strahlscheibe in der verschobenen Position bleibt, bis sie durch einen zweites Antippen oder Andrücken ausgelöst in ihre Ausgangsposition zurückkehrt.Depending on the type of arrangement can be provided that the jet disk remains in the shifted position until it returns to its original position triggered by a second tap or press.

Die Erfindung schlägt also einen Brausekopf, insbesondere für eine ortsfest installierte Brause, beispielsweise eine Kopfbrause, vor. Der Brausekopf hat verschiedene Möglichkeiten des Austretens von Wasser aus der Strahlscheibe. Um diese verschiedenen Möglichkeiten einzeln oder in Kombination einzuschalten, ist eine Umschaltvorrichtung vorgesehen. Diese kann in an sich bekannter Weise mithilfe von aneinander abgleitenden Schrägflächen arbeiten. Zur Betätigung der Umschalteinrichtung dient die Strahlscheibe selbst, die von dem Benutzer entgegen der Austrittsrichtung der Wasserstrahlen druckbeaufschlagt wird.Thus, the invention proposes a shower head, in particular for a fixed installed shower, for example, an overhead shower before. The shower head has different possibilities of leakage of water from the jet disk. To turn these different options on individually or in combination, a switching device is provided. This can work in a conventional manner by means of mutually sliding bevels. To actuate the switching device is the jet disk itself, which is pressurized by the user against the exit direction of the water jets.
