  • Shower head
    Patent number: 9289785
    Abstract: A shower head contains a shower head housing with a jet disc having jet outlet openings. A water inlet leads into the shower head housing and adjoins a changeover valve that switches between three water supplies. Each water supply leads to a different group of jet outlet openings in the jet disc. An opening closed by a seal of deformable material is provided between each two groups of jet outlet openings. The seal is designed such that the opening opens when pressure is applied from one side and the opening closes when pressure is applied from the other side.

  • Sanitary shower
    Patent number: 9266127
    Abstract: A sanitary shower has a shower body, a water inlet on the shower body connectable to a wall supply line, at least one jet outlet opening and a water conduit providing fluid communication to the water inlet. The sanitary shower includes a connector body with a water inlet connectable to a wall supply line and a basket-type shower body which extends from the connector body up to an outlet-sided basket terminal axially spaced from the connector body. The basket-type shower body defines a hollow basket interior space adjacent to the connector body, and the outlet-sided basket terminal delimits an axial basket opening and/or a light transparent terminal disk element. On the basket-type shower body and/or on the connector body at least one jet outlet opening is provided. A water conduit provides a fluid communication of the at least one jet outlet opening to the water inlet.

  • Methods for decomposing partially fluorinated and perfluorinated surfactants
    Patent number: 9221695
    Abstract: In a method of decomposing partially fluorinated and perfluorinated surfactants which are, in particular, present in wastewater, sewage sludges and the like, the surfactant is present in solution or suspension and is electrolytically decomposed. An anodic oxidation of the surfactants preferably takes place here. The method is particularly suitable for decomposing perfluorinated alkylsulfonates, in particular PFOS. The invention also describes an apparatus for electrolytically decomposing partially fluorinated and perfluorinated surfactants.

  • Shower device
    Patent number: 9199252
    Abstract: A shower device according to the invention includes a shower head housing having a jet disk and a multiplicity of jet outlet openings. The jet outlet openings are divided into multiple groups of jet outlet openings. For each group of jet outlet openings, a distinct chamber is formed in the shower head housing. A water inlet can for example be connected by means of a change-over valve to in each case one of the chambers fluidic in parallel. The two chambers are arranged consecutively in the shower head housing. The water exiting the rear chamber as viewed relative to the jet disk can for example pass through the front chamber in a sealed channel or as a jet, which passes through a larger opening of the jet disk.

  • Fitting main body for a sanitary fitting
    Patent number: 9187883
    Abstract: Proposed is a fitting main body in which are arranged receptacles for the connections of the sanitary fitting to the water line, receptacles for a thermostat valve and a flow-rate regulating valve, and all water channels. The water channels are formed at least in part as flat ducts open towards one side of the fitting main body, wherein the longitudinal direction of the cross section through the flat ducts runs perpendicular to the side of the fitting main body. The ducts are closed off by a cover which is connected to the fitting main body. As a result, that part of the sanitary fitting which comprises all of the water channels is composed of the fitting main body and a cover.
