  • Publication number: 20080289708
    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.

  • Publication number: 20080289098
    Abstract: Disclosed is a plumbing fixture including an electrically actuated valve by means of which a water flow that penetrates the plumbing fixture can be turned on and off. A first switch that is embodied as a proximity switch is used for opening the valve and thus starting the water flow. The inventive plumbing fixture additionally comprises a mechanically actuated operator's element which is used for regulating another function of the plumbing fixture, such as the water temperature or the water quantity. A second switch that is used for electrically blocking the first switch is assigned to the mechanically actuated operator's element. For this purpose, the second switch is disposed so as to respond when the additional operator's element is manipulated.

  • Publication number: 20080223462
    Abstract: A sanitary fitting has a housing which has a hot-water supply, a cold-water supply and two mixed-water outlets, having a cartridge which is arranged in the housing and has a mixing valve for cold and hot water, there being arranged between the two mixed-water outlets a changeover valve which comprises a double valve cone (151) which, by virtue of an actuating member being pulled, can be moved, counter to the force of a restoring spring, from a first position, in which it releases the first mixed-water outlet, into a second position, in which it releases the second mixed-water outlet and in which it is held under the pressure of mixed water flowing through the second mixed-water outlet until it returns automatically into the first position once the inflow of water has been switched off.

  • Publication number: 20080203197
    Abstract: Disclosed is a shower head comprising a housing-type first part (T1) inside which a water duct extends. One end of said water duct communicates with a water inlet. The first part (T1) is connected to a second part (T2) that is embodied as a discharging element. The receiving space of the discharging element communicates with the other end of the water duct in at least one mode of operation of the shower head. In said mode of operation, the external edge of the second part (T2) forms an overflow edge in one region, via which water can flow off. The second part (T2) forming the discharging element is composed of a top portion and a bottom portion, between which an interior space is located that communicates with the second end of the water duct in a second mode of operation of the shower head. A plurality of nozzle-type discharge ports (A2) are arranged in the bottom portion of the second part (T2).

  • Patent number: 7373952
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sanitary outflow fitting, especially a single-lever mixer (1), comprising, in a manner known per se, a housing (2) provided with at least one admission (5, 6) for water, and one outlet (49). A control cartridge (26) is located inside (10) the fitting housing (2), the manually operable control lever (34) of said cartridge controlling the flow of water through the outflow fitting (1). The aim of the invention is to be able to use a conventional control cartridge (26) with the admission and outflow openings thereof located on the lower side, even when the outflow (49) is in the upper or uppermost region of the outflow fitting (1). To this end, the control cartridge (26) is arranged inside a receiving insert (14). Water arriving towards the control cartridge (26) and leaving the same flows through said receiving insert (14).
