Abstract: An aerator for a plumbing fixture is provided, especially for a washstand, water basin or tub. The plumbing fixture includes a water outlet that leads to a forward outlet end in which an aerator that is penetrated by the water is pivotally mounted via a swiveling mechanism, particularly a joint, which is removably fixed. The pivotable aerator is mounted within an outer ring that is screwed into the outlet end.

Abstract: A hollow body and method for making the same are proposed for a sanitary fitting such as a mixing valve for hot and cold water lines. The hollow body may be fabricated as a simple sheet material part and contains water guides in its interior. The water guides are produced by inserting a simple sheet material part into the interior of the hollow body. The sheet material part is fixed in place and subsequently welded to the inner side of the hollow body. Welding can be done more particularly with the aid of a laser enabling the weld to be made from the outer side of the hollow body, as a result of which, welds can be produced at positions which would otherwise not be accessible.

Abstract: A sanitary article, particularly a sanitary fitting or plumbing fitting, having a coated surface, in which on a coating face and/or below a coating face is provided at least one print image which color-contrasts with the coating.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plastic hose with a coloring and/or metallization on its surface, which is produced by stamping on a hot stamping film, as well as to a process for the production thereof. As a result of the hot stamping full-surface colored or metallized surfaces can be created for plastic hoses.
