Abstract: A mixer valve has a valve cartridge arranged in interchangeable manner in a valve casing. A fixed control disk and a movable control disk can be moved counter to one another by an operating element in said valve cartridge. The latter has a roughly tubular casing, which is closed on the outside by a cup-shaped sleeve and on the inside by a cartridge bottom. As a result of this construction, the cartridge can be replaced particularly easily.

Abstract: A bath fixture for fixing in a bath overflow hole is provided on the outside of the bath with an overflow casing and on the inside of the bath with a casing braceable therewith for receiving a mixer valve, the pipes leading to the mixer valve and a water outlet. The casing can be braced against the bath from the inside thereof. The water outlet is positioned in spaced manner above the bath rim. All control elements are also positioned above the bath rim.

Abstract: A wall connecting piece for fitting to a concealed water main and for the connection of a hand-held shower hose contains a casing, which can be connected to the water main and on which is provided a connection for the shower hose. The casing contains a retaining head, which acts on the hand-held shower grip and which is pivotable about an axis passing through the casing.

Abstract: A shower head contains a cup-shaped casing with a longitudinally displaceably held core part, for whose displacement an eccentrically-mounted circular disc engages in an opening of the core part. The eccentrically-mounted circular disc contains an eccentrically arranged hole, through which engages a square section of an adjusting member. Within the casing, the adjusting member is mounted in a sleeve in part of the shower head which does not carry water. The adjusting member does not require packings.

Abstract: The invention relates to a water jet aerator which, in place of conventional metal screens, has at least two separate staircase-like obstacles, which project laterally into the paths of the individual jets and split up the jets, and mix them with air. Several such obstacles are arranged in the immediate proximity of one another, successively in the direction of flow, so that a cohesive, well-ventilated jet is obtained. The configuration of the jet cross-section can vary as a function of the arrangement of the facing walls defining the flow path in the area of the obstacles.

Abstract: A valve contains a connection for connecting to a tube of a supplemental shower head or spray nozzle, the connection preferably containing a check valve. In the case of the preferred embodiment, the connection for the supplemental apparatus is arranged in the handle of the operating lever connected to a spherical plug valve. The water is supplied to the handle through the hollow connecting rod, from the interior of the spherical plug.

Abstract: A flexible armored synthetic resin hose for showers, with an extruded inner hose part of thermoplastic or elastomeric material, an extruded outer hose part of thermoplastic or elastomeric material, which is at least partly supported so as to be spaced from the inner hose part, and a reinforcement helix for armoring the hose, said helix being placed between said inner and an outer hose parts.

Abstract: A control disk insert for a one-lever mixer valve contains two preferably, planar disks, whereof one fixed disk has at least one opening zone for hot water and at least one opening zone for cold water. The control disk facing the fixed control disk and movable with two degrees of freedom can both completely close and continously completely open the opening zones in the fixed control disk. The opening zones of the fixed control disk and the control edges of the movable control disks are constructed in such a way that the control disk insert has two completely separated, independently operating, but mechanically coupled controlsystems. Both control systems can be used for a common water outlet, or for two separate water outlets.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling or regulating the through-flow or passage of at least one liquid, particularly for temperature regulation or control, contains at least one valve with an electrical valve drive, which is controlled by an electronic control unit. The control unit makes available the signals necessary for operating the valve drive. The power supply for the control unit and the valve drive is provided by a thermocouple, whose one side is exposed to the temperature of the liquid to be regulated and whose other side is exposed to a temperature differing therefrom. The apparatus preferably contains a storage battery.

Abstract: The holding device for a shower post is provided with a holding member, which can be fixed by a fixing element to a wall and which can be coupled to the shower post. At least the outer wall surface of the holding member is made from a transparent to clear material and is made matt to reflecting on the inside by an unglazed design. In conjunction with the transparent construction of the outer wall surface, this ensures that it is not possible to see into the interior of the holding member, the latter assuming the color of the wall to which the holding member is fixed.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus, particularly a shower head for forming a plurality of vented jets. The apparatus has a device for producing individual jets. It also has at least one underlying air space and obstacles projecting laterally into the paths of the individual jets, which deflect the latter and, while mixing with air atomize the said jets. Passage channels, which can have vortexing portions and quieting portions are provided for each vented jet for further influencing the air/water mixture. Several individual jets are used for producing a single vented jet. The object of the invention is mainly intended for use in the sanitary field.

Abstract: An apparatus for operating a poppet valve which is mounted in a tub drain for upward and downward movement in a vertical drain pipe which also has a laterally extending horizontal tubular drain pipe portion comprises a guide tube which extends radially of the poppet valve and carries a control slide which is slidable therein under the control of a remote control which is connected thereto by a cable. A bearing cylinder extends into the horizontal tubular drain portion and it carries a rotatably journal pin of a lever assembly which is connected between the control slide and the poppet valve.

Abstract: The invention relates to rubber articles, particularly spray forming means and spray jet forming means respectively, and their use in sanitary fittings. These are produced by vulcanization of a rubber mixture which contains besides caoutchouc and usual vulcanization additives and auxiliary agents graphite and preferably paraffin. With this mixture any lime deposits can easily detach themself or can even be completely prevented.
