  • Patent number: 9567733
    Abstract: A device for restricting flow of a fluid, in particular the flow of water in a sanitary fitting, includes a substantially cylindrical, hollow inlet body for the fluid, and a substantially cylindrical outlet body for the fluid, which is connected to the inlet body so as to be rotatable about a common longitudinal axis, and conducts the fluid via a cross borehole and a following cavity in the direction of the longitudinal axis. A mixing chamber includes a lateral intake borehole from which a further fluid can be supplied from outside the outlet body A clamping device fixes the set radial position of the inlet body and the outlet body relative to each other.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8800892
    Abstract: A regulating device for a water outflow, in particular of sanitary fittings, comprises a cylindrical sleeve with a central cylinder axis. The sleeve is adapted for attachment to or in the water outflow. A support plate is disposed perpendicular with respect to the axis of the sleeve. A throttling and regulating element can rotate relative to the support plate about the axis and can move in the direction of the axis. By way of the throttling and regulating element, water can flow through from one side of the support plate to the other side of the support plate. The throttling and regulating element comprises a device for fine throttling of the water. An annular distribution space for the water is delimited by the support plate, the sleeve and the throttling and regulating element. In the distribution space, water can flow in from openings in the throttling and regulating element. In the distribution space, water can flow out of the sleeve to a water outlet.

  • Patent number: 5934330
    Abstract: The invention is a water flow limiting device that is placed into a housing. The flow device has a baffle plate which has one or more inlet passages and an outlet passage that has a predetermined diameter. The device also has a cylinder plate with one or more drain passages. The cylinder plate is connected to the baffle plate to form a distribution chamber. The distribution chamber receives the water from the outlet passage and empties it through the drain passages. The flow device also has a baffle device that is attached to the cylinder plate and accurately regulates the amount of water flowing from the distribution chamber into the drain passages. The baffle device may be a needle point screw, a rounded screw, a flat screw, or a combination screw and moveable orifice plate.
