  • Patent number: 10099230
    Abstract: A sanitary insert part includes an insert housing, which includes in a housing interior thereof a functional element that controls throughflow and that has at least one throughflow orifice. At least one throughflow opening is delimited by a peripheral wall, the shape of which can be changed against a restoring force as a result of the pressure of the inflowing water in such a manner that the at least one throughflow orifice has a variable orifice cross section which can be changed, in dependence on the pressure of the inflowing water, between an open position and a minimized position having a reduced orifice cross section by comparison.

  • Patent number: 10060108
    Abstract: An insert part is provided having a water-channeling cartridge housing which is insertable into a housing holder in a water line. The water-channeling cartridge housing includes at least one encircling annular groove on an outer circumference thereof, and a sealing ring is arranged in this groove. The sealing ring has a ring cross section with a sub-region that projects radially outward beyond the annular groove. At least one component is assigned to the insert part and has an end side that is directed toward the insert part. The end side includes at least one retaining protrusion by which the component, in a latched position on the outer circumference of the cartridge housing, is latched to the cartridge housing to form a unit. Here, the at least one retaining protrusion is latched in the at least one annular groove that receives the sealing ring.

  • Patent number: 10041235
    Abstract: A sanitary outlet element is provided which is insertable, via its insert housing, into the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting and has a jet regulator for shaping the exiting water jet, a throughflow-quantity regulator or a throughflow restrictor is arranged in front of the jet regulator, on the inflow side, by which the quantity of water flowing through per unit of time is adjusted, or limited, to a set value. The throughflow-quantity regulator or restrictor is guided in a displaceable manner in the insert housing by the flow-restrictor or regulator housing and is movable, counter to the restoring force of at least one restoring element, from an open position, in which the flow-restrictor or regulator housing has at least some of the water flowing around it, into a closed position, in which the water flowing to the jet regulator flows through the throughflow-quantity regulator or the throughflow restrictor.

  • Publication number: 20180217620
    Abstract: In a sanitary installation part (1) which, along with a functional unit (7), forms a flow volume regulator, it is proposed that a regulating element (13), which can be adjusted along an adjustment path, be coupled to a temperature-sensitive drive unit (15) such that different regulating positions of the regulating element (13) are set in dependence on the temperature of the medium flowing through the installation part (1), wherein the different regulating positions realize in each case different volume-flow dependencies (11, 12, 45, 48) and/or flow resistances.
