  • Patent number: 9663928
    Abstract: A sanitary insert unit which is fittable on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting and has a flow-restricting or control device with a flow-restricting or control element. The flow-restricting or control device or at least the flow-restricting or control element thereof is guided displaceably under pressure of inflowing water from a starting position counter to a restoring force into a flow-restricting or control position. A jet splitter is connected downstream on an outflow side of the flow-restricting or control device. The jet splitter divides the water flowing therethrough into a multiplicity of individual jets. A guide pin protrudes from the jet splitter on an inflow side. The flow-restricting or control element of the flow-restricting or control device is displaceably guided on the guide pin. The sliding path is limited between the jet splitter and a sliding stop on a pin end region of the guide pin facing away from the jet splitter.

  • Patent number: 9644355
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sanitary insert part (1) having an insert housing (2), which (2) includes in a housing interior thereof a functional element (3) that controls throughflow and that has at least one throughflow orifice (4). The insert part according to the invention is characterized in that at least one throughflow opening (4) 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 (4) 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: 9636899
    Abstract: A method for cutting to length a piece of tube having an inner tube and an outer tube sheathing, the piece of tube being detached with the aid of a cutting tool at a cutting site in a plane oriented transversely to the longitudinal extent of the tube. The tube sheathing is surrounded by a severable tube fixing element, which covers over the intended cutting site before the piece of tube is detached using the cutting tool at the cutting site, and the tube fixing element completely encloses the outer tube sheathing in the circumferential direction. The tube fixing element is fixed on the tube sheathing and/or the tube enclosed by the tube fixing element is severed with the cutting tool such that a relative displacement of the tube fixing element with respect to the tube sheathing or of the tube sheathing with respect to the inner tube is prevented.

  • Patent number: 9623426
    Abstract: An atomizer nozzle (1) for a sanitary water outlet, which atomizer nozzle (1) is intended for atomizing water under pressure. The characterizing feature of the atomizer nozzle (1) according to the invention is that the atomizer nozzle (1) has a swirl chamber (2), in which at least one feed channel (4) that is oriented transversely in relation to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle and runs approximately tangentially into the swirl chamber (2) opens out, wherein the swirl chamber (2) tapers in the outflow direction, in the direction of a nozzle channel (5). The atomizer nozzle (1) can be used to produce a water jet of a homogeneous jet pattern that gives the impression of a voluminous water jet in spite of having a low volumetric flow.

  • Patent number: 9562348
    Abstract: Sanitary throughflow element (1, 2, 30) which includes a throughflow rate regulator unit (5) having a carrier part (6) extending over the open cross section of a fluid line portion, the carrier part (6) having at least two inter-spaced insert openings (7) in which, respectively, a throughflow rate regulator (8) is arranged. Each throughflow rate regulator (8) has an elastic throttle body (9) which is round on the outer circumferential side in cross section and which delimits a control gap (10) between itself and a circumferential wall defining the insert opening (7). The throttle bodies (9) of the throughflow rate regulator (8) are compressed in the throughflow direction due to pressure of the through-flowing fluid such that this compression causes a circumferential widening of the throttle bodies (9) that constricts the control gap (10) determining a throughflow capacity of the throughflow rate regulator (8).
