  • Patent number: 9863127
    Abstract: A sanitary fitting having an outlet contains an outlet end which is formed in a substantially tubular manner. In this tubular end there is arranged a shut-off valve having a cartridge, water flowing through the center of said shut-off valve. A rotary shaft serves to rotate and thus actuate the valve cartridge. The rotary shaft is arranged and mounted inside a mounting sleeve which contains an outlet element at its outlet-side end. An external sleeve, which forms a flush continuation of the fitting housing, serves to rotate the rotary shaft. The sleeve is connected to the rotary shaft by a radial pin which engages through an arcuate slot that extends in the circumferential direction. When the sleeve is rotated, the position and setting of the outlet element remains the same.

  • Patent number: 9266127
    Abstract: A sanitary shower has a shower body, a water inlet on the shower body connectable to a wall supply line, at least one jet outlet opening and a water conduit providing fluid communication to the water inlet. The sanitary shower includes a connector body with a water inlet connectable to a wall supply line and a basket-type shower body which extends from the connector body up to an outlet-sided basket terminal axially spaced from the connector body. The basket-type shower body defines a hollow basket interior space adjacent to the connector body, and the outlet-sided basket terminal delimits an axial basket opening and/or a light transparent terminal disk element. On the basket-type shower body and/or on the connector body at least one jet outlet opening is provided. A water conduit provides a fluid communication of the at least one jet outlet opening to the water inlet.

  • Patent number: 9158309
    Abstract: A sanitary fitting contains a rectilinear or slightly curved tubular outlet body, at one face end of which there is arranged an outlet, out of which the water flows, with the valve open, in a direction extending the direction of the outlet body. At this end of the outlet body there is arranged an actuating element for a valve cartridge arranged axially in the outlet body. At the opposite end of the outlet body there is arranged at a face end an actuating element for a valve cartridge accommodated in the outlet body. The outlet body has a lateral fastening attachment, by way of which the sanitary fitting is fastened to a horizontal or vertical surface and through which the supply lines are led.

  • Patent number: 8807461
    Abstract: A showerhead contains a chamber in connection with a connecting nozzle, said chamber from which the water is discharged from plurality of nipples formed on a membrane formed out of elastomeric material. The nipples feature a duct for the shower water. The nipples penetrate through openings of a perforated disc through the openings slightly larger than the outside diameter of the nipple. By shifting the perforated disc in a plane parallel to the membrane featuring the nipples, the direction of the nipple and thus the direction of the water jets discharged from the nipples will be changed. This adjustment can occur in two directions that are perpendicular to one another. The membrane is preferably approximately plane in shape, so that a front surface of the showerhead is likewise plane in shape.

  • Publication number: 20120024988
    Abstract: The invention relates to a jet outlet element for a sanitary fitting which allows outlet of a defined gushing jet from the sanitary fitting. The sanitary outlet element is configured as a flat element having two compartments, a water inlet compartment and a water outlet compartment. A narrowed section is interposed between the two compartments and accommodates a flow rectifier. Said flow rectifier rectifies the as yet non-directional flow of the water in the inlet compartment and guides it in a controlled manner to the outlet compartment from where it emerges through the slotted outlet opening.
