  • Patent number: 8070075
    Abstract: The description is given of a sanitary water-outflow fitting, in particular a tub-filling mixer unit, having a water-outflow housing (1) and a jet former for a wide-surface-area water-outlet jet (19), the jet former being arranged in the housing. The water-outflow housing (1) comprises an elongate supply channel (21) which runs essentially perpendicularly to the water-outlet jet (19), tapers in a funnel like manner in the throughflow direction and is bounded by an intermediate wall (37). The intermediate wall (37) has a multiplicity of throughflow holes (51), via which the supply channel (21) is connected to an elongate distributor chamber (11) essentially parallel to it. The distributor chamber (11) has at least one water-outlet channel (9) leading to the water outflow.

  • Patent number: 6047722
    Abstract: A plurality of sanitary mixer fittings, in particular of concealed mixer fittings, form a set of mixer fittings that comprises identical universal connection housings with different cartridges and suitable different cartridges adapters. The universal housings have hot and cold water inlets for connection to the domestic water pipes as well as at least one mixed water outlet for connection e.g. to bath-tub inlets or showers. The relevant cartridge adapter is inserted into a location hole in the universal housings. The water inlets and outlets of the universal housings are flow-connected to water supply openings that are disposed in the inner surfaces of the adapter location hole in the universal housing. The water supply openings are flow-connected, optionally by annular chambers, to outer water supply openings in the outer surfaces of the relevant cartridge adapter. The relevant cartridge is inserted into a cartridge location hole in the relevant cartridge adapter.
