Abstract: A shower jet outlet device and a shower head equipped therewith have a jet disk with at least one jet disk opening and a jet outlet element disposed in the jet disk opening. The jet outlet element is pot-shaped with an outlet-side bottom, a side wall and a hollow chamber delimited by the bottom and the side wall. The bottom faces in the jet outlet direction and includes fine jet openings. The bottom and the side wall are made of an elastic material and the jet outlet element is configured to deform by bulging of its bottom and/or its side wall, in response to fluid pressure in the hollow chamber when operating.

Abstract: A first component with a fixing groove is affixed to a second component, using a ball-head screw having a thread and a ball head, a slot nut for the thread fitting into the fixing groove of the first component, and a fixation part having a ball head seat and a planar fixation support surface for fixing the fixation part to the second component. The ball head seat receives the ball head, forming a ball joint. In a central position, the fixation support surface is parallel and offset to a longitudinal axis of the ball-head screw. The ball-head seat includes recessed portions receiving a screw portion of the ball-head screw. An inclination angle between the longitudinal axis of the ball-head screw in the central position, and the longitudinal axis of the ball-head screw in the position when received in the recessed portion, is at least 90°.

Abstract: A fluid distributor body and an associated sanitary shower device containing the fluid distributor body have a cylindrical boundary forming a fluid inlet on an axial input side, and a distributor structure disposed downstream of the fluid inlet for fluid distributing flow conductance of a fluid supplied via the fluid inlet. The distributor structure is provided by at least one perforated distributor plate held on the boundary and having a plurality of passage openings conically tapering in the flow direction. The fluid distributor body and sanitary shower device are useful for sanitary overhead showers, for example.
Abstract: A shower jet generating device for a sanitary shower head has a jet disk that delimits a fluid chamber on the outlet side and has at least one jet disk opening. A fluid outlet element is disposed on the at least one jet disk opening and is movable in an axial main direction component, which element includes a movable valve body having a fluid outlet opening issuing from the fluid chamber. The fluid outlet opening is unblocked in an unblocking position of the fluid outlet element and is blocked in a blocking position of the fluid outlet element in response to a fluid pressure in the fluid chamber. The movable valve body cooperates with an unmovable valve seat which unblocks the fluid outlet opening in the unblocking position of the fluid outlet element and blocks it in a blocking position of the fluid outlet element.

Abstract: A faucet column and/or free-standing sanitary fitting with the faucet column includes a floor-side column end and a faucet-carrying column end, with at least one water conduit disposed within the faucet column, extending from the floor-side column end up to the faucet-carrying column end. The faucet column includes a supporting profile which extends from the floor-side column end up to the faucet-carrying column end, at least one cavity which encompasses the water conduit and extends from the floor-side column end up to the faucet-carrying column end and is provided by the supporting profile, and an enveloping element which surrounds the supporting profile.
Abstract: The invention relates to a spray device having a fluid outlet structure that forms a spray jet, said fluid outlet structure having a plurality of jet outlet units of which at least two are configured as multi-duct jet outlet units having in each case at least one first outlet duct and at least one second outlet duct fluidically separated from the first. Moreover, the spray device has a fluid guide which is designed to conduct a fluid supplied to the spray device selectively to the first outlet ducts or to the second outlet ducts. According to the invention, a minimum spacing (A12) between the outlet ducts of each particular multi-duct jet outlet unit (2) is smaller than a minimum spacing between the outlet ducts of in each case two multi-duct jet outlet units, and/or in at least one multi-duct jet outlet unit, a second outlet duct or a group of a plurality of second outlet ducts is arranged so as to surround a first outlet duct at least around a part of its circumference.
Abstract: A flow restriction device and/or a sanitary shower equipped with the flow restriction device includes a restrictor body composed of multiple web planes disposed successively in an axial direction and filling a passage cross-section of the restrictor body perpendicular to the axial direction. Each web plane is composed of a plurality of webs extending mutually in parallel and perpendicular to the axial direction, spaced from each other thereby leaving web intermediate gaps. Webs of two directly adjoining web planes extend non-parallel to each other. The device is useful in overhead showers, for example, and limits noise.
