  • Patent number: 10821453
    Abstract: A shower jet generating device for a sanitary shower head has a jet disk that delimits a fluid chamber on the outlet side and has at least one jet disk opening. A fluid outlet element is disposed on the at least one jet disk opening and is movable in an axial main direction component, which element includes a movable valve body having a fluid outlet opening issuing from the fluid chamber. The fluid outlet opening is unblocked in an unblocking position of the fluid outlet element and is blocked in a blocking position of the fluid outlet element in response to a fluid pressure in the fluid chamber. The movable valve body cooperates with an unmovable valve seat which unblocks the fluid outlet opening in the unblocking position of the fluid outlet element and blocks it in a blocking position of the fluid outlet element.

  • Publication number: 20190055721
    Abstract: A sanitary fitting including a water conduit channel. The sanitary fitting illustratively further includes an insertion duct extending into the water conduit channel and including a user-accessible insertion opening, and an insertion plate including at least one sanitary utility element and exhibiting, in a flow-through region in which the plate has flow-through capability from its one plate main side (H1) to its other plate main side (H2), a smaller plate thickness (PD) as compared to its lateral plate dimension (PL), the insertion plate being insertable in a lateral insertion direction (SL) into the insertion duct via the insertion opening and extractable from the insertion duct counter the insertion direction. The insertion duct remains stationary in an operating position, when the insertion plate is inserted or extracted, and the insertion opening remains user-accessible in the stationary operating position of the insertion duct.

  • Patent number: 6874711
    Abstract: A water jet aerator (jet controller) for a water outlet of a sanitary fitting has a substantially cup-shaped, plastic housing in which is located a device for mixing air with water made from a stable dimensionally rigid thermoplastic. The housing has a housing base molded in one piece therewith and which is constructed as a jet stabilizing device and is provided with water outlets between jet limiting walls parallel to the flow direction and which at the water outlet end have an elastic plastic surface. In the invention the jet limiting walls, at least in the vicinity of the water outlet, are solidly constructed from the elastic plastic over their entire wall thickness and are molded in one piece with the housing.
