Abstract

The shower head creates pulsating shower jets which issue from at least one water jet nozzle (22) in the shower floor (1). The shower floor contains at least two independent pulsation-creating devices. There may be five such devices, arranged symmetrically on the floor. Each may be in a housing (20) made in one with the shower floor.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Brausekopf, insbesondere für Sanitärbrausen, zur Erzeugung von pulsierend abgegebenen Brausestrahlen, die wenigstens über eine Wasserstrahldüse am Brauseboden austreten.The invention relates to a shower head, in particular for sanitary showers, for the production of pulsating dispensed Shower jets, at least through a water jet nozzle emerge from the shower base.

Bei Sanitärbrausen kann das austretende Wasser durch vorgeschaltete Einrichtungen im Brausekopf in der Durchflussmenge geregelt, mit Luft durchsetzt und/oder der Durchfluss zeitweise unterbrochen werden. Mit dem zeitweisen Unterbrechen der austreten Brausestrahlen kann ein pulsierendes Austreten erreicht werden. Ein diesbezüglicher Brausekopf ist beispielsweise aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 40 31 206 A1 bekannt. In diesem Brausekopf werden zur Erzeugung von pulsierend austretenden Brausestrahlen, die Einlassöffnungen der Wasserstrahldüsen nacheinander einzeln von einer rotierenden Kugel kurzfristig abgedeckt. In the case of sanitary showers, the escaping water can run through upstream devices in the shower head in the Flow rate regulated, aerated and / or the flow is temporarily interrupted. With the intermittent interruption of the escaping shower jets a pulsating emergence can be achieved. On related shower head is for example from the German patent application DE 40 31 206 A1 known. In this shower head are used to generate pulsating escaping shower jets, the inlet openings the water jet nozzles one by one rotating sphere covered at short notice.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen verbesserten Brausekopf vorzuschlagen, mit dem pulsierend austretende Brausestrahlen erzeugt werden können, die auf der menschlichen Haut eine stärkere Wirkung haben.The invention has for its object an improved Propose shower head with the pulsating escaping shower jets can be generated that have a stronger effect on human skin.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß bei einem eingangs aufgeführten Brausekopf dadurch gelöst, dass am Brauseboden wenigstens zwei voneinander unabhängige Einrichtungen zur Erzeugung von pulsierend austretenden Brausestrahlen vorgesehen sind.
Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 10 angegeben.This object is achieved according to the invention in a shower head mentioned at the outset in that at least two mutually independent devices for generating pulsating shower jets are provided on the shower base.
Further refinements of the invention are specified in claims 2 to 10.

Mit den vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen wird insbesondere erreicht, dass die pulsierend austretenden Brausestrahlen großflächiger ausgetragen werden können, was auf der menschlichen Haut einen angenehmen massierenden Effekt verursacht.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung können vorzugsweise drei bis fünf Einrichtungen zur Erzeugung von pulsierenden Brausestrahlen nebeneinander auf dem Brauseboden angeordnet werden.
Hierbei können die Einrichtungen zweckmäßig mit einer in einem Ringkanal umlaufenden Kugel oder Schiffchen versehen sein. Die Einrichtung kann aber auch jeweils mit einer oszillierenden Platte oder hydraulischen Leiteinrichtungen versehen sein, die einen pulsierenden Austritt der Brausestrahlen verursachen. With the proposed measures it is achieved in particular that the pulsating shower jets can be discharged over a large area, which causes a pleasant massaging effect on human skin.
In a further embodiment of the invention, three to five devices for generating pulsating shower jets can preferably be arranged next to one another on the shower base.
In this case, the devices can expediently be provided with a ball or boat rotating in an annular channel. However, the device can also be provided with an oscillating plate or hydraulic guide devices, which cause the shower jets to pulsate.

Der Einfachheit halber sind bei den Ausführungsbespielen in der Zeichnung gleiche oder entsprechende Elemente mit jeweils gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen.
In der Zeichnung ist jeweils nur ein Brauseboden 1 gezeigt, der in das Gehäuse einer Handbrause, Kopfbrause oder Seitenbrause eingesetzt werden kann. Der Brauseboden ist dabei mit einem Gewinde 10 versehen, mit dem er am nicht gezeigten Gehäuse einer Brause befestigbar ist. Das Gehäuse der Brause schließt hierbei in der Montagelage, mit einem O-Ring gedichtet, an einer Mantelfläche 11 des Brausebodens 1 an.
Im Brauseboden 1 sind drei Einrichtungen 2a,2b,2c angeordnet, wie es insbesondere aus Figur 2 der Zeichnung zu entnehmen ist. Die Einrichtungen 2a,2b,2c sind mit ihrem zylindrischen Gehäuse 20 in dem Brauseboden 1 eingelassen und bilden jeweils eine kreisringförmige Rollbahn 24 für eine Kugel 23. In der kreisringförmigen Bahn können auch mehrere Kugeln oder ein Schiffchen vorgesehen werden. In der Rollbahn 24 sind fünf symmetrisch angeordnete Wasserstrahldüsen 22 ausgebildet, die an der Austrittsfläche 12 des Brausebodens 1 münden. Im Zentrum der Rollbahn 24 ist zur guten Führung der Kugel 23 ein Zapfen 25 angeformt. An der stromaufwärts gelegenen Stirnseite des Gehäuses 20 ist ein Deckel 21 eingepresst, wie es aus Figur 1,5 und 6 der Zeichnung zu entnehmen ist, in dem ein Leitapparat zur optimalen Anströmung der Kugel 23 angeordnet ist. Anstatt der einstückigen Ausbildung des Gehäuses 20 mit dem Brauseboden 1 können auch separate Gehäuse der einzelnen Einrichtungen zur Erzeugung der pulsierenden Brausestrahlen vorgesehen werden, die lösbar, z.B. mit einer Steckverbindung oder Schraubverbindung, an dem Brauseboden angeordnet werden können.For the sake of simplicity, the same or corresponding elements are provided with the same reference numerals in the exemplary embodiments in the drawing.
Only one shower base 1 is shown in the drawing, which can be inserted into the housing of a hand shower, overhead shower or side shower. The shower base is provided with a thread 10, with which it can be attached to the housing of a shower, not shown. The housing of the shower adjoins an outer surface 11 of the shower base 1 in the assembly position, sealed with an O-ring.
Three devices 2a, 2b, 2c are arranged in the shower base 1, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 2 of the drawing. The devices 2a, 2b, 2c are embedded with their cylindrical housing 20 in the shower base 1 and each form an annular roller track 24 for a ball 23. A plurality of balls or a boat can also be provided in the annular track. In the runway 24, five symmetrically arranged water jet nozzles 22 are formed, which open out at the outlet surface 12 of the shower base 1. A pin 25 is integrally formed in the center of the runway 24 for good guidance of the ball 23. On the upstream end face of the housing 20, a cover 21 is pressed in, as can be seen in FIGS. 1, 5 and 6 of the drawing, in which a guide device for optimal flow against the ball 23 is arranged. Instead of the one-piece design of the housing 20 with the shower base 1, separate housings of the individual devices for generating the pulsating shower jets can also be provided, which can be arranged detachably, for example with a plug connection or screw connection, on the shower base.

Das in Figur 3 und 4 dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel unterscheidet sich zu dem vorstehend beschriebenen insbesondere dadurch, dass anstatt drei fünf symmetrisch auf einem Kreisbogen angeordnete Einrichtungen 2a,2b,2c,2d,2e zur Erzeugung von pulsierenden Brausestrahlen vorgesehen sind. Die Gehäuse 20 sind hierbei im Wesentlichen nur an der stromabwärts gelegenen Stirnseite mit dem Brauseboden 1 stoffschlüssig verbunden.
Im Übrigen entspricht dieses Ausführungsbeispiel dem vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel.The exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 differs from the one described above in particular in that instead of three five devices 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e arranged symmetrically on a circular arc are provided for generating pulsating shower jets. The housings 20 are essentially integrally connected to the shower base 1 only on the downstream end face.
Otherwise, this embodiment corresponds to the embodiment described above.
