  • Patent number: 10895067
    Abstract: An operator control device for a water conducting sanitary fitting including a basic holder with an operating toggle disposed thereon, which toggle has a rotating operating part and a fixed operating part which are rotatable in relation to each other, wherein the rotating operating part is rotatable about a rotation axis on the basic holder. The operating toggle can be pushed in towards the basic holder along the rotation axis. At least one pusher magnet is disposed in the basic holder, and at least one magnetic field sensor is disposed in the operating toggle. An evaluation device for the magnetic field sensor is provided, in order to detect whether the sensor approaches the pusher magnet during pushing-in. At least one magnetic element is disposed in the rotating operating part.

  • Patent number: 10871236
    Abstract: A fluid switch-over device illustratively for use in a sanitary shower device, including at least one fluid inlet, at least two fluid outlets, and a movable switch-over body for controlling fluid connections of the at least two fluid outlets to the at least one fluid inlet. The switch-over body is switchable between at least three different operating positions. An actuation device is configured for sequential and bidirectional switching-over actuation of the switch-over body both in a forward switch-over direction and in a backward switch-over direction inverse to the forward switch-over direction. The actuation device illustratively includes a first actuation unit for sequential switching-over actuation of the switch-over body in the forward switch-over direction and a second actuation unit for sequential switching-over actuation of the switch-over body in the backward switch-over direction, wherein the two actuation units comprise operating elements that are user-operable independently of each other.

  • Patent number: 10851527
    Abstract: A pull-out hose device includes a hose box with a box housing, a pull-out hose held on the box housing to be pulled out and having at least one hose bend accommodated in the box housing, and a fluid connector for the pull-out hose. According to an illustrative embodiment, the hose box has a box holding frame to which the box housing is removably attachable in a mounting direction and is detachable therefrom in a demounting direction. The fluid connector includes a first connector part disposed on the box housing, to which connector part the pull-out hose is connected with one hose end, and a second connector part disposed on the box holding frame. The first and the second connector parts are connectable to each other in a fluid-tight manner in the mounting direction and are disconnectable from each other in the demounting direction.

  • Patent number: 10821453
    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.

  • Patent number: 10822777
    Abstract: A sanitary fitting including a water conduit channel. The sanitary fitting illustratively further includes an insertion duct extending into the water conduit channel and including a user-accessible insertion opening, and an insertion plate including at least one sanitary utility element and exhibiting, in a flow-through region in which the plate has flow-through capability from its one plate main side (H1) to its other plate main side (H2), a smaller plate thickness (PD) as compared to its lateral plate dimension (PL), the insertion plate being insertable in a lateral insertion direction (SL) into the insertion duct via the insertion opening and extractable from the insertion duct counter the insertion direction. The insertion duct remains stationary in an operating position, when the insertion plate is inserted or extracted, and the insertion opening remains user-accessible in the stationary operating position of the insertion duct.

  • Patent number: 10822776
    Abstract: A connection socket is adapted for a sanitary fitting with a floor-standing faucet column and has a socket bottom body and a removably attached socket top. A bottom body fluid channel has a bottom body inlet and a bottom body outlet. The socket top has a top-side connection surface for the faucet column and a top fluid channel with a top inlet in fluid communication with the bottom body outlet. A sound absorber element in the bottom body fluid channel is insertable and extractable via the bottom body outlet and/or a backflow preventer element in the top fluid channel is insertable and extractable via the top outlet. The socket top can be turnable on the socket bottom body between the operating position and a blocking position in which fluid communication is blocked.

  • Patent number: 10807106
    Abstract: Swivel shower including a shower body with a base body, a swivel body including a shower outlet and mounted for swivel movement relative to the base body between a rest position and an operating position, a shower fluid inlet and a fluid flow path from the shower fluid inlet to the shower outlet. A shut-off valve is arranged within the shower body in the fluid flow path between the shower fluid inlet and the shower outlet and blocks the fluid flow path as a function of a swivel position of the swivel body, wherein the fluid flow path is completely blocked in the rest position of the swivel body and is completely unblocked in the operating position of the swivel body.

  • Patent number: 10794500
    Abstract: A fluid switch-over device of the type that may be used in sanitary shower devices, the fluid switch-over device including a housing body which includes a fluid inlet channel and a plurality of fluid outlet channels arranged fluidically in parallel, a switch-over body which includes a fluid inlet, at least one fluid outlet and a fluid duct from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet and is disposed within the housing body to be translationally movable axially parallel and rotationally movable in a combined manner in relation to a longitudinal axis between at least two different operating positions. The switch-over body in each of the different operating positions is in fluid connection with the fluid inlet channel via its fluid inlet and differentially unblocks or blocks at least partially a fluid connection of its fluid outlet to the respective fluid outlet channel. An actuation unit for actuating the switch-over body includes an operating element disposed on the housing body to be user-operable.
