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.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention relates to an air bag module, in particular for a knee air bag. The air bag module includes an air bag housing, a air bag cushion, a tubular gas generator, a air bag cushion holding device, and a gas guiding device, to which the tubular gas generator is fastened. The gas guiding device is integrally formed with the air bag cushion holding device.

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.

Abstract: A mixer cartridge contains a plate-type control system, the control plate of which is displaceable and twistable by an actuating element configured as a double-armed lever. The displacement leads to an opening and closing of the valve, while the twisting serves to alter the temperature. According to the invention, it is envisioned that the maximum opening and closing position of a holding plate controlling the movable control plate is limited by stops. For the actuating element, a stop is also provided, which acts in the same way, yet is arranged such that it still has a minimum distance from the actuating element when the holding plate is already bearing against the stop.

Abstract: In the case of a sanitary fitting, an operating grip is pushed on the operating shaft of a mixer cartridge. To fix the operating grip a locking device is proposed, which engages on the locking element located on the operating grip by means of a locking element on the fitting. There is as such no direct security lock between the grip and operating shaft, but between operating grip and valve body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a steering wheel having an air-bag module which has a gas generator and an air bag and is covered with respect to the passenger compartment by means of a covering cap provided on the upper side of the steering wheel, the gas generator being provided as an oscillation damper by being mounted in the air-bag module in at least one element which is elastically deformable when the steering wheel oscillates. According to the invention, the gas generator (6) is peripherally mounted in the elastically deformable element (3, 34) and/or the elastically deformable element (19) has a peripheral sealing lip (26) which, after the gas generator is ignited, bears against the latter or against a component connected to the latter.
