  • Jet regulator
    Patent number: 10280600
    Abstract: A jet regulator (100) including a jet regulator housing (2) is disclosed, in the housing interior of which a perforated plate (5) is provided with a plurality of flow-through holes (6) for dividing the through-flowing water. The jet regulator described is characterized in that at least one flow-through hole (6) extends conically towards its outflow side in at least one outflow-side hole section. It is also possible for flow obstacles to be provided on the outflow side of the perforated plate (5) in the jet regulator housing (2) and/or on the outflow front face of the jet regulator housing, which are arranged or concentrated there in a central or middle region and which deflect the through-flowing water into an outer annular zone. This jet regulator (100) enables an aerated and thereby sparkling-soft water jet to be generated even with low flow-through performance and low water pressure.

  • Jet regulator with impingement surface and annular wall
    Patent number: 10260219
    Abstract: A jet regulator (1) is provided including a jet regulator housing having an interior in which there is provided a perforated plate (5) with a plurality of throughflow holes (6) for dividing up the water that flows through, of which at least one of the throughflow holes (6), at least in an outflow-side hole portion, widens in a tapered or conical or stepped manner toward an outflow side. On the outflow side of the perforated plate (5) and at a distance therefrom, there is provided an encircling impingement chamfer (19) which narrows a clear housing cross section in a region of the impingement chamfer progressively in the flow direction.

  • Method and apparatus for detecting stagnant water
    Patent number: 10184814
    Abstract: A method of detecting stagnant water includes flowing a water in a pipe and producing electrical energy via the flow of the water. The electrical energy is stored in an energy store. A change of state of the energy store is detected and information about possible stagnation of the water is obtained from the change of state of the energy store. An apparatus for detecting stagnant drinking water includes a generator for producing electrical energy, an energy store for storing that energy, a control and analysis unit which detects the charge state of the energy store and a signal transmitter which emits a signal depending on the charge state of the energy store.

  • Sanitary outlet insert
    Patent number: 10161120
    Abstract: A sanitary outlet insert which can be mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting, comprising a flow limiter that has an adjusting element which regulates or limits the flow area in cooperation with a counter element. The flow area of the flow limiter can be preselected or varied by an axial change of the relative position of the adjusting element and the counter element; in that additionally a handle is provided on the outlet end face of the outlet insert, said handle being designed as a pushbutton; and in that an adjusting movement on the handle can be converted into a relative axial movement of the adjusting element and the counter element by means of a pushbutton mechanism.
