Abstract: A ceiling-mount showerhead (1), at least comprising: at least one first housing element (2) to attach to a ceiling (3), wherein a first spray plate (4) is disposed in the at least one first housing element (2); and at least one second housing element (5) to attach to the ceiling (3), wherein a second spray plate (6) is disposed in the at least one second housing element (5).
Abstract: The invention relates to a sanitary shower (1) comprising at least a housing (2), at least one fluid inlet (3) for a fluid, and at least one jet-forming element (4) with at least one fluid channel (19), the at least one fluid channel (19) comprising at least one duckbill valve (6) having an elastic valve casing (7) that runs in a flow direction (8) of the fluid from a valve base (9) to a slotted valve outlet (10). The valve casing (7), at least in the region of the slotted valve outlet (10), has an outwardly oriented thicker portion (12).
Abstract: A shower device for a bidet shower, wherein the shower device contains at least one shower arm having a shower connection for the intimate hygiene of a user; wherein the shower arm is connected to a thermostat via a water supply line, wherein the thermostat is connected to a cold-water connection and a hot water connection and the cold water and the hot water are mixed in the thermostat to form a fluid flow of a predetermined temperature, wherein the thermostat includes a scald protection.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a screen. The screen a) is annular, b) is designed to filter water in a thermostatic valve, c) can be transferred from a first state into an additional state, d) has a first circumference in the first state, and e) has an additional circumference in the additional state. The screen is characterized in that the additional circumference is greater than the first circumference. The invention also relates to a thermostatic valve comprising the screen; to a thermostat fitting comprising the thermostatic valve; to a method comprising connecting the screen to a thermostatic valve body; and to a use of the screen in a thermostatic valve or in a thermostat fitting or in both.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bowl (1) for a toilet, at least comprising an outer shell (2) and a water-guiding inner part (3), wherein water is supplied regularly to the inner part (3) when the bowl is used as intended, wherein the outer shell (2) comprises exclusively the non-water-guiding part of the bowl (1) and wherein the outer shell (2) consists of a cast mineral material and the inner part (3) consists of a different material. Also disclosed is a method for producing a bowl.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a device, containing a first sensor, designed and arranged for sensing a first measurement variable of a fluid, and a second sensor, designed and arranged for sensing a second measurement variable of the fluid, a first electrode assembly has a substrate and a first planar electrode overlying the substrate. A second electrode assembly has a second planar electrode. The first planar electrode and the second planar electrode are dielectrically spaced apart from each other. The first electrode assembly and the second electrode assembly form a first capacitor as the first sensor such that a first capacitance, formed by the first planar electrode and the second planar electrode, can be varied under the influence of a fluid and in accordance with a flow velocity of the fluid as the first measurement variable.
Abstract: A sanitary fitting (1) that contains a fitting body (2), a first spray plate (3), a second spray plate (4), and a two-way valve (5), which can be used to selectively route a liquid to the first spray plate (3) or to the second spray plate (4), wherein the two-way valve (5) is arranged in the fitting body (2) and having a valve body (6), which is mounted rotatably about an axis of rotation (11) in a valve housing (25) of the two-way valve (5) between a first valve seat (7) of a first outlet (8) of the two-way valve (5) and a second valve seat (9) of a second outlet (10) of the two-way valve (5).

Abstract: The invention relates to a fixture and a method for cleaning a drinking water purification system including the following steps: removal of a filter cartridge from a cartridge holder of a filtering unit in a cold water line, insertion of a connection adapter into the cartridge holder to form a fluid connection with the cold water line, connection of a connecting piece of a hot water line to the connection adapter, heating of water with a heater interconnected with the hot water line, delivery of heated water via the connecting piece of the hot water line and the connection adapter into the cold water line.
Abstract: A jet former, including an impeller wheel rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation, having a blade arrangement, a control device, and at least one movably mounted nozzle. The control device is arranged and constructed to convert a rotation of the axis of rotation into a movement of the at least one nozzle. At least one blade of the blade arrangement is arranged and formed to divide the water flow directed towards the at least one blade in a direction of flow into at least a first partial flow and a further partial flow, to deviate the first partial flow in a first partial flow direction, and to deviate the other partial flow in a further partial flow direction. The direction of flow, the first partial flow direction and the further partial flow direction in each case differ from each other.
